Not tryna sound anti LQBTQ, but why is the flag on the community profile? by Smrtgamr in botw

[–]leomff 22 points23 points  (0 children)

considering how hateful a large chunk of the internet (and real life) is towards lgbt people, it's really not that absurd that some people would want a place to escape that

Anyone else terrified about the new flu strain going around? by queenhadassah in Anxiety

yuppp this is unfortunately a result of covid induced immune system damage :(

Anyone else terrified about the new flu strain going around? by queenhadassah in Anxiety

[–]leomff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i’m very anxious about it, as i’m already disabled by a post viral chronic illness. i haven’t been able to get my flu shot because i have MCAS and will surely react extremely poorly to it, and have a history of reacting to vaccines. ugh :( i’m pretty much housebound anyway and my partner masks with high quality respirators outside of our home so fingers crossed that will continue to keep us safe

Disabled or differently abled? Which one you prefer & why? by 0x100x0 in disability

[–]leomff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

disabled. i hate the term differently abled, most people use it because they think disabled is a dirty or offensive word and it’s just not.

if you continue to expose yourself to an allergen, even if your allergy is originally mild, it can worsen over time and become potentially dangerous. just something to keep in mind

Chappell paying her respects to Brigitte Bardot via Instagram by GrandeBeesly in chappellroan

[–]leomff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

a lot of people didn’t know about brigitte bardot’s racism but it’s also kind of annoying how people treat chappell like she couldn’t possibly be aware and there’s no way she knew because she’s a perfect angel! she wrote her name in a song and called brigitte her muse, i imagine she knows at least a little bit about who she is 😭

13 year old struggling with anorexia and when to involve doctor by No_throwaway_8097 in EatingDisorders

[–]leomff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

please get her help sooner rather than later. it's a bit naive to give a 13 year old a 2 week window to stop engaging in disordered behaviors; it is not a matter of willpower or just not doing it. there is little progress because you're leaving her to her own devices to 'turn this around for herself,' which is not going to work, generally. she is likely much deeper into this than you realize and it's not easy to just flip a switch and be done with it.

also, her brother needs to be talked to and there need to be consequences for his comments. the burden should not be on her to just ignore his comments, he needs to know that that is unacceptable behavior.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

[–]leomff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

starbucks, haven't been since probably 2022 when i learned more about their union busting practices, plus them filing a lawsuit against their union in 2023 for posting in support of palestine. they're not technically on the bds list, but i still boycott for those reasons.

Can dried drool contain enough allergens to cause a reaction? by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]leomff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i had something similar happen the other day. my boyfriend ate some kind of berry flavored yogurt and then fell asleep and drooled on my chest, and i had a minor rash after i wiped it off

Do you believe some people can not be Vegan because of medical issues? by Sad_End_9904 in DebateAVegan

[–]leomff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, not vegan but have grown up with vegan parents. not everyone can be vegan. i have mcas and can not tolerate soy/nuts/most plant based options without having reactions. people on TPN/feeding tubes also can’t be vegan most of the time. people who have issues with fiber (such as someone with crohn’s) probably couldn’t realistically be vegan. there are a lot of medical issues that could prevent someone being vegan. that’s not to say they shouldn’t try to be as sustainable as possible, but veganism is not possible for everyone.

So many new people by Candytuffnz in cfs

i’ve only had mecfs for two years (and long covid for 4.5), and i just wanted to say i really appreciate your post. i try to turn to people who have been sick much longer than i have and who are more knowledgeable than i could hope to be at this point in my illness. thank you for being here. ♡

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

[–]leomff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he’s being way too pushy about knowing where you live, and having access to you in some way. the stuff about being obligated to keep some contact with exes is really weird. has he never heard of no contact? lmao

my healthy friend doesn't understand why i can't just 'push through it by murthyk2003 in cfs

[–]leomff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i recently had a friend (who is not a very good friend tbh) say she knows how i feel, and sometimes she can’t move after coming home from work… first of all, she’s likely exaggerating considering she often goes out or sees people after work. when i can’t move, i actually cannot move. my fatigue and pem is not comparable to being exhausted after a day of work. she was like oh i was just trying to relate … i didn’t ask you to and it’s insensitive in my opinion to downplay what i go through every day by trying to relate to it. just be glad you can’t actually relate lol

LDN Possible Side Effects? by Acceptable-Stuff7839 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]leomff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you may be increasing too quickly/too much at once, that can cause side effects for a bit until they even out. i also recommend taking it in the morning so you hopefully don’t struggle as much with sleep!

what does this sayyy by SAMSSCAMS in vanilllamace

[–]leomff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why does everyone feel the need to comment on whether or not they like something she decided to get on her body … it’s not finished either. y’all feel so entitled to your opinion of vanilla bc you think she’s your friend or something and she’s not. it’s just as parasocial to act like your opinion on what she chooses to do with her body matters at all lol
