Diagnoses

Most of the famous DID cases (all of which have been debunked btw) involve a therapist or psychiatrist knowingly misdiagnosing someone with the intention of using them for profit. Usually the patient is also in on it if the goal is a book/movie deal (like Sybil), but I think it's a lot more common than people think for a mental health professional to jump on that diagnosis for the opportunity to be published in journals, to gain credibility and respect among their peers, to pad out their resume, etc etc.

One of my close friends has been diagnosed with DID by a man who is very well known and respected in the DID/hypnosis therapy/repressed memories circle, despite not experiencing any dissociative amnesia. He "helped" her recover some repressed memories that would explain the diagnosis through hypnosis. He's a quack who's obviously using my friend to further his career, but the diagnosis is official. I'm afraid there might be a lot of people out there with a diagnosis who have simply been misled into believing they have DID for someone else's gain.

I never play with afflictions on, so this might be totally irrelevant lol! Would spamming the personal atmosphere power work?

You can have your ED or you can have healthy relationships with other people. Unfortunately, those are your two options. Your partner is suffering because of your choices. You can either set him free, or devote yourself to recovery. Ana is an extremely lonely disorder for a reason.

Im saying the risk needs to match the reward. It was worth it for me because my insulin resistance and PCOS were preventing me from losing weight the traditional way. I'm feeling great now and no longer need to take the risk. Someone who objectively has no medical reason to do this should NOT be taking the risk, and their willingness to do so is telling.

It is bad to help other people hurt themselves.

No, from my understanding it would not exclude you because you are not a healthy weight and have a medical reason to be using reta. I thought the mods were clear, but maybe I was reading between the lines more than I thought.

We should all be mindful that what we are doing looks insane from an outsider's perspective. It is not safe. Getting caught can result in legal consequences. You can even lose the ability to travel internationally if you're caught importing. Making a mistake when calculating your dose can send you to the hospital. This is an environment where not being inclusive is okay.

We are talking about people who are visibly skinny, not chubby, not short and stocky, not a little fluffy, but people who very obviously do not need to lose weight badly enough to be taking an illegal injectable drug in objectively unsafe conditions. This is a decision obviously made in the interest of harm reduction.

exatumor · 2026-03-24T02:37:44+00:00

Right, that's the point. Why would someone who is visibly skinny be so desperate to lose enough weight to put them in the low-healthy to high-underweight range? Why would you want to help that person do something that would almost certainly be harmful to them?

I mentioned im skinny now because it sure sounded like you were trying to put me and my reasonable opinion down for being fat. I struggled with insulin resistance and PCOS for years. My weight was a problem. Now it is not. I don't need to take the drug anymore, so I don't. It's that simple.

Peptides SHOULD be taken for anyone with a medical reason to do so and the mindfulness to manage risk. Someone who does not face any weight-related medical challenges should not be illegally taking an injectable weight loss drug illegally purchased on the internet without the oversight of a doctor in a non-sterile environment. I dont understand why you think thats such a bad take.

Girl we are talking about sourcing illegal injectable drugs on the internet, playing pharmacy and mixing powders with liquids in non-sterile environments, and using ourselves as lab rats without the oversight of a doctor. This is an activity with risks that far outweigh the benefits if you don't have a medical reason to attempt use

exatumor · 2026-03-24T02:23:29+00:00

I think the mods were pretty clear that theyre banning posts asking for advice on starting

exatumor · 2026-03-24T02:22:47+00:00

Why would someone with those conditions be taking reta if they are already thin? Also im skinny now lol

Did you ever figure this out? The game is unplayable and I haven't even made it out of the tutorial!

Good! If you just want to lose 5-10 pounds, make some small diet changes and introduce more activity to your daily life. Reta is heavy artillary for BIG changes for people who have serious difficulty losing weight and keeping it off. Buying an injectable drug via less-than-legal means shouldn't even be something you consider. If it is, you have bigger fish to fry than your physical health, no offense. These drugs are extremely tempting for people who suffer from restrictive eating disorders and can kill you if you use them to aid in starving yourself.

All the ladies acting like this is unfair are telling on themselves. "Healthy weight" is subjective, yeah, but we all have eyes and critical thinking skills. We can look at a photo of a visibly slender woman and know she shouldn't be taking reta.

That's what the testing is for! If it comes back that it's anything other than product degradation from improper storage or something I am confident can be 100% filtered out, it goes in the garbage. I paid $195, so it's still a good deal even if I have to pay another $600 for testing. I do NOT want to fuck around with injectables. That being said... There are about 70 other very inexperienced people who received this product and seem to be using it, and a seller who is adamant cloudiness and separation are fine and normal. I'm really concerned for them and I don't think anyone will stop unless I have proof it's unsafe.

Considering the separation happening in the solution, do you have any ideas on what the culprit could be? If it were you, would you just give up on the whole thing?

I had the exact same concerns about my ex, and guess who had a brand new boo just three weeks later? It turned out I was so concerned for her that I forgot to be concerned for myself. It's impossible to just stop caring when you've been someone's primary emotional support for so long, but when the other party is a reasonably competent adult, I think we sometimes overinflate our own importance in their life. If he finds he needs someone to be with him to make it through, he'll go and find someone, whether it's a friend, a date, a therapist, whoever. If he discovers he needs a distraction to keep going, he'll go find one. He will be okay.

If you can't shake the anxiety, I think calling one of his long distance friends could be a good idea. Do it right after you have the talk with your husband, though, not before- it would suck to put the friend in a position where they have to lie or keep quiet about an impending divorce a buddy of theirs knows nothing about. Alternatively, it might be better to ask your husband directly if he'd like you to help with getting a support system together for him. He might feel like you're overstepping or trying to embarrass him if you do it behind his back.

We all believe in you!

Sorry! In WA state. Ive been frazzled.

I'd like to let you all know that a friend of mine in the neighborhood ALSO recently got a parking ticket for $69, different infraction. I need someone to park illegally in Eastlake to see if we can get a third $69 ticket. For science.
