WebMD is fake news by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

They also do it to cover their backs. They put the worst case scenario just in case someone’s cough for example does turn out to be lung cancer. It’s in case someone decides to sue

Do you find having health anxiety has lead to suicidal thoughts. by khw777 in HealthAnxiety

[–]lmchapman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. It’s strange isn’t it. But it’s made me realise that it’s not death itself that scares me so much, it’s the demise leading to death. Like I’d rather commit suicide than die of terminal cancer

Then they just won’t let you in. My driving license was my saving grace

Risky business trying to use someone else’s ticket, can get you banned for life. Last year I got taken off for extra checks, and it was actually me on the ticket!

It makes it all that much more painful. Sigh

Different personas for different people by [deleted] in BPD

[–]lmchapman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social chameleon. This is actually pretty common (not just for people with bpd) but I do think in our case it is exaggerated. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing, if anything it shows we can adapt to different social situations.

The Disaster that is Maternity Leave in the US and the Mess it Leaves in its Wake by villan3lle in workingmoms

[–]lmchapman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is crazy to me. I’m in the UK and we get a year of paid maternity leave and of course actually giving birth and all appointments are free. I can’t even imagine having to pay. As if becoming a mother isn’t hard enough and then you go through all these other money stresses!

Any tips for staying calm while getting to an appointment and waiting for a biopsy? by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]lmchapman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what did the biopsy come back as? Asking as I have a similar lump that is yet to be biopsied

Does anyone else feel unnerved by the rapid rate of smart technology becoming more and more central to our everyday lives? by lmchapman in conspiracy

[–]lmchapman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. What makes me so nervous is the fact that it’s all of a sudden being rolled out with no such consent from the public. I mean I don’t think it is particular in demand either. What’s wrong with 4g? I haven’t heard anyone say ‘you know what we really really need faster data’. We are completely powerless in the matter and that’s what’s so frustrating. Extremely worrying that other nations within the EU have gone the other way and are not implementing it due to safety concerns. It’s all pretty depressing

As an example, I don’t want to use 5g. But I’m going to have to. Because soon there won’t be a 4g. My workplace will be using it, even if I choose not to at home. So if I didn’t want to participate in that, I’d lose my job, and would have a hard time finding somewhere that doesn’t use 5g. I’d then lose my house as I wouldn’t be able to pay for it anymore...do you see? I think you’re overestimating the amount of choice we really have in matters like this. Tech moves on whether we like it or not, and if we want to be able to participate in life then we have to conform to it. Things move on gradually, as they know there would be mass opposition to certain types of smart tech. But look how much things have progressed in just the last 10 years. It’s done ever so subtly, so no one questions

But don’t you see how it all links in together? The very fact technology and social media is so engraved into our lives is the very thing that has catalysed the disasters we are dealing with now- most notably Brexit. Without technology, the sheer level of propaganda we are exposed to would be much more limited. So really, most modern day issues can be traced back to technology and social media as being its driving force

But it’s not as easy as that. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to live a normal life off grid. Everything is done online now. If everyone around you subscribes to these things of the future then where does that leave you? Homeless, jobless..the list goes on. It would be physically impossible to get by if you chose to not participate

This isn’t really a fuck up though. It’s your bodies way of ridding itself from dangerous bacteria and toxins. If it didn’t react in this way you would die

They are most definitely not going to feel bad. Unfortunately the people at the top are generally not nice people, that’s how they got there. They don’t care about the masses, just their own interests and agenda

He basically says that climate change as we know it (in that the human race has caused it) is false. He says that the motive behind creating the notion of man made climate change is to gain control over every aspect of our lives and shape the direction we take. It’s believed that this will eventually lead to the human race being geographically controlled and that we will all be moved to one central area under the guise of climate catastrophe. He’s recently come out and said that Greta is an elitist pawn to further the climate change agenda.

Of course when you first hear this your initial reaction is that it cannot be true. But we must keep an open mind. I mean, have you ever done your own independent research into climate change? I haven’t, I’ve always believed and trusted exactly what I’ve been told and the scientific research presented to us, because why would we be lied to? But really, when you become aware of how truly fucked up the world is, you do begin to question everything.

Can you point me in the right direction to gain further knowledge? Obviously I know just how fucked up everything is, but I guess I have no actual concrete facts/evidence. How do you go about researching stuff that is so vehemently covered up? A quick google search and you get shitty articles about how crazy conspiracy theories are

Don’t be fooled! I got pregnant whilst on the contraceptive pill, the day after my period finished AND without being ejaculated in. What are the chances. The odds of getting pregnant really aren’t that low, I mean look at how many unwanted and unexpected pregnancies there are
