Migrainesβ¦.
β¦but alsoβ¦ seeing my mom lose all her patience and yell at my dad for having aggressive late stage dementia and not being able to function properly.
Seeing that and being broke and unable to materially change the situation was by far and away the most cynical, insufferable thing I have ever experienced in my entire life and hopefully I will never experience something as awful again or I fear I would shatter into a million pieces.
Losing my best friend to cancer. Still recovering a year later.
I don't think they're going to recover at this point.
solo sorry, couldn't help myself
Insufferable in what sense? Do you mean insufferable from my point of view or me being insufferable for someone else?
Your perspective.
Listening do folks being confidently incorrect, ignorant or bigotted. It makes me wanna puke.
I used to be like this. But I learnt to accept it because I knew there's nothing I can do change it. I even find it entertaining now!
Yeah, no. I learned to not accept it. Now I get physical reactions from it. Helps me to understand that this person is not good for me.
Thats important because I generally am too forgiving irl and have suffered through tremendous loss due to people lying.
Now I have pretty exclusively honest people in my life and its infinitely better than before.
I was probably pretty insufferable in my 20s. Is that what you meant?
That counts.
Whenever Iβm forced to use windows
You could just not break into people's homes?
I like looking out of them.
See unix and linux and possibilities abound.
See freedom.
Being under anesthesia, then dealing with the aftermath of saying a bunch of stupid stuff π
Did you accidentally speak your mind or say crazy, made-up stuff?
Gibberish about aliens / being abducted by aliens
Being in jail.
What was it like?
Terrible.
Couldn't do what I want to do.
Couldn't see my loved ones.
Couldn't even tell when I'd be released.
Any interaction with any salesperson.
Now. Got Long Covid and by now I can only leave the bed to take a dump. My GP dropped me because I can't come to them. But I need one to sign off on a study I'm about to be part of starting next week. But none of the GPs around here take on new patients.
Guess I'll just die a very slow death. I'd rather be killed with a spoon.
I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn't really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.
I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.
Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that's just really helping.
Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don't give up!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the remission! Hope you get the same soon with your cancer!
Just got through my last chemo Friday! I haven't been declared cancer free yet but August 20th should be the day!
when I go to the doctor and have to hand write all the information they already have in the computer. like they're going to hand type it into the computer again from my handwritten document
All the times my unlikability for things I cannot change about myself (along with things we don't see eye to eye about) have been put to the test. If it exists in a page about discrimination, I experienced it at some point.
When the person next to you on the plane talks your ear off
Most of my childhood, and generally anything involving my parents. I've been no contact for a long time now. Life is great.
