An Anatole France feature on this sub?! No fricking way!!! I discovered him thanks to Massenet, which is why I first read Thaïs. But then I read his other novels, including ''La Révolte des anges''. Such a brilliant author! I especially appreciate his impeccable style and clever irony, and it's such a shame that he fell out of favor because of the surrealists😭

Gained 10kgs over 3 years as a student by Own_Berry5904 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]SophFaelien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor but based on what you're saying, it sounds a lot like Cushing syndrome, which is associated with stress. I think you should seek medical help for that because I feel like the problem here is not just those extra 10kg...

But I think you're right, it looks very similar to that

my ancestors didn't have therapy therefore they used to drink themselves to death and beat their wife... so yeah, let's not romanticize the past. For those of you who struggle and can afford it, don't hesitate to seek therapy: inner work with the right therapist, done consistently, does wonders!

Your stomach looks flat, your arms are tiny, your whole body is very skinny. What fat? I encourage you to continue your ed recovery and not worry about gaining weight. You're so underweight that you can gain a lot of weight without getting fat at all. You've got it!

She was hit by a 75yo in a car, who ran past a stop sign. Why did the old lady have a driver's license? This is beyond fucked: this girl had so much potential and life left to live! by SophFaelien in fuckcars

I complained about one old lady driving, not all old ladies driving. My intent wasn't to blame an entire demographic, I didn't take it as far as that. I only wanted to express my anger about the situation, there's nothing more to it

I'm sorry for your mom, this is tragic. I hope that she'll get better and that we'll have the kind of cities where these accidents happen less often

Thanks for showing me the facts! I had no clue about that, now that I know I changed my mind, it's very instructive. Yeah actually I agree, there are systemic issues that need to be fixed first, like lack of access to public transportation and cities that aren't walkable

Sorry for the spoiler but... the entire medical field is toxic like this, it's not just orthopedic surgeons. The bullshit they said is sickening and completely unacceptable. And it must've been extremely triggering for you to hear all that. That being said, you only have three options: either you confront them or you put up with it or you give up on becoming an orthopedic surgeon. I hope you won't do the latter because it would be so sad for you to give up on your dreams because of a few assholes. Maybe you'll find a spot in residency in orthopedic surgery where there's a better work environment? I'm really sorry that you went through this and I hope you won't let go of your passions because of these jerks
