  One thing that my brain is bothered by for whatever reason is that he uses the same character for both voiced and unvoiced forms of “th”. That may very well be the proper usage, but for some reason my brain doesn’t like it! Dunno why!

  This is a support thread. I was giving some of my thoughts on it. It didn’t seem to be a space where a back and forth debate made sense.

  I posted the comment you replied to when you being unkind to me and started accusing me of things that I did not do.

  Please understand that you are speaking to another human when you are doing this. I am a living, breathing being. And you are being hurtful.

  Being hurtful is not only unfair to me, but you are hurting yourself in the process. I found a lot of help discovering DBT, and I just rambles on about it as something that felt relevant to the scenario.

  I think there’s some confusion. The linked post isn’t deleted. But the linked post is in an ADHD community. It sounds like OP posted the same content or linked to it in lemmy.world/c/mentalhealth . I do not see evidence of it in the mental health community, so it must have gotten removed from there.

  Thanks for the update. Was getting frustrated that I can hardly do or see anything lol. Hope it gets resolved soon!

  I know you are hurting right now and you need somewhere for that hurt to go, but I am not your enemy. I am not familiar with the users you posted, nor do I have the ability to change your situation. I’m just some random a bit bored on my weekend off haha. It’s somewhat marred by the fact that Lemmy keeps erroring out every time I try to do something, but alas.

  To be frank with you, I’m not interested in having some long protracted debate with you about the content of your original post.

  I’m sorry for the ramble (we both appear to be prone to it lol) and I know this sounds a bit out of left field, but have you heard of DBT? I don’t have ADHD myself, but I struggle with the intensity of my emotions when something happens to me. I’ve read that a lot of people with ADHD struggle with this too. You are absolutely valid in being hurt and upset, but your own behavioral response afterwards isn’t necessarily helping you out. I’ve been trying my best to have a more nuanced understanding of things, myself, life, etc., and to be less polarizing in “right” vs. “wrong”. I don’t always succeed (as no human is perfect), but I feel as though it has helped me out.

  I do wish I had another mental health community to direct you towards that would welcome you, but unfortunately I don’t at the moment.

  I can only hope you do something fun/nice for yourself today to try to make what happened weigh less on your mind! Wishing all the best!

  Couple of things. First, I’m sorry for your mental health struggles and your ban from a mental health community.

  I think what you’ll find is that people get such a hard on for hatred of AI, that you’ll likely get posts banned and removed from other communities if people think you are using it. Is it fair? It’s besides the point, really. It’s just that unfortunately it’s not going to be very popular…fairness or not. As you’ve seen, even suspected AI use has the risk of people acting this way to you.

  Next, neurotransmitters and the brain are a hell of a lot more complicated than they appear. Remember when everyone thought that major depressive disorder was simply a deficiency in serotonin? Well, modern evidence shows that that isn’t at all the case and it’s much more complicated than that. It doesn’t change the fact that SSRIs can be beneficial, but it changes our understanding as to how and why they may be.

  ADHD is not simply a deficiency of dopamine and norepinephrine. Reducing it to that is highly inaccurate. If that were true, then drugs that increase both of these would be curative. But they aren’t. Symptoms are managed with ADHD drugs, but you’ll still struggle.

  ADHD involves disturbances of dopamine and norepinephrine, but as to why and how that comes to be is another question. You can look at it as correlation versus causation. There is clearly an association there, but not necessarily a causative one.

  Psychological disorders are no longer viewed as simple dediciencies in specific neurotransmitters. That is really not the case anymore with modern research. So in that regard I can see how someone would call an assertion with that as misinformation.

  I’ve never done it myself, but there seem to be a couple of different reasons why it would be preferable over a standard hotel room.

  1. Easier and cheaper way to get a huge living space with a kitchen for a large group of people.

  2. The possibility of staying in a unique type of room that a hotel just can’t provide.

  Man I’m sorry to hear. You’re already diabetic so I mean carbs are out…but I mean I feel like fats and sodium aren’t going to be as much of a worry until you also have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Altho once you do then you’re fucked I guess. I’ve heard of salt substitutes, but I don’t know much about them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol well you aren’t wrong!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the vast majority of menu items are carbs, cheese, and protein. There’s really hardly veggies in there at all. A nominal amount of shredded lettuce is really nothing compared to fruit and a salad.

  If I ever get rich, I’m getting a maid and a chef. Or honestly if if android service bots become affordable, I’d get one. Idc if I’m at risk of a robot uprising…household chores are too annoying and never ending!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You were with me until the latter part. People aren’t hitting up a sit down restaurant when they want fast food because they want to get in and get out without having to leave their car.

  I have a Chick Fil A literally a 2 minute walk from me. I go often because of convenience. I don’t have to wait in a long line in my car and because it’s one of the few fast food joints that offers healthier alternatives like grilled chicken nuggets, salads, fruit, sides of kale, etc. It’s not a common occurrence to have options like that at a fast food place. The Chick Fil A and Taco Bell are right next to each other, but I end up going to the Chick Fil A 9 times out of 10 over Taco Bell because of this.

  Pro tip…always keep a solid (not mesh) trash can in your bathroom. Hopefully you’ll never need to…but if you ever need to puke and shit simultaneously, you’ll be thankful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When do we riot?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know I’ll get downvoted for this, but…Lemmy and related are an “echo-chamber” of sorts. You’ll find that a vast amount of people “in the real world” don’t share this sort of imminently apocalyptic mentality. I really mean no offense in my phrasing and I’m not trying to shit on anyone here. It’s just the way things are.

  I remember being almost surprised at how “normal” life was when I first moved to a place that had polar opposite political views than me. Life went on…in mostly the same way it did when I was surrounded by people who mostly shared my ideologies. Life goes on…especially in the western world. Even in different parts of the US, it’s a far cry from some place like Somalia or Iran or Israel or North Korea.

  Idk. Sorry I got a bit rambly. Suffice to say that I don’t think you’re ever going to find what you seek.

  Social pressures. Yes, being hungry is uncomfortable and even can hurt, but if you ignore it long enough, it can sometimes become a bit more like background noise. I have always been a healthy weight, but my entire life I have had the paranoia of becoming fat. And so I am very accustomed to feeling hungry. When they started me a psych med that people can easily gain weight on, I started monitoring my weight more closely. Often, I go to bed with hunger pangs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civic duty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean…think about that for a minute. If you’re being paid less than minimum wage then how are you supposed to afford to live? Some people live paycheck to paycheck.

  Everything just feels so bizarre to me. Internet communities and politics devolve into weird rabbit holes of strangeness and extremist which is totally foreign to me. I feel like some people just sit in their rooms posting pictures on their walls connecting it with red strings.

  And here I am just to look at memes. Does that mean I’m too much of a “normie” or “boomer” for internet communities nowadays? I don’t even know.

  Thanks for the info tho. Sorry about my little rant lol!
