They're not going to throw her out. Debbie's said it on Facebook many a time herself. They're stuck with her. She has nowhere to go anyway and I think she'd end up right back home after a night of cryin' that she's dyin'. That happens every time she goes to a hotel anyway. Even shoving her dad and getting arrested didn't result in anything much. It's time to give up on that happening unless she has some truly major incident.
She's definitely got lady parts trouble and has for years. Which is why I believe her peeing herself is a bad sign. The mental health problems are real. She does whine for attention. But it doesn't negate her real problems. Helping Pixy goes way beyond her getting a job and moving out. She's a clusterfuck. But she is legit mentally ill. I don't see it turning around either.
Pixy says her foot follow up is in march and she was supposed to heal by the end of this one. I'm curious as to what she'll post after seeing the doctor. She's not a munchie really. But she's becoming munchie adjacent. It's a weird scene.
IDK if she even reads here or not. Having said that, I'm aware her parents aren't going to throw her out. I've been on, and commented, on a few cow threads now for years.
But this one in particular is concerning because it really does seem to read (as opposed to many other cows) to me that people are being taken in by her whining and refusal to work towards growing up, taking accountability, and being responsible.
In my line of work, I OFTEN (ad nauseum) hear the following from drug and mental health recovery professionals including RN's and QIDP's:
"I'm not making excuses, but..."
"It's no excuse, but, could _______be a part of their mental illness?"
"Could_______be part of ____________diagnosis they got at the ER?"
And others like this. But here's the thing: They ARE excuses. And doubly when that individual can hear or read a person saying this. It's their notice; their "See, THIS works!" card.
I was just reading the Pro Ana thread. Boy, howdy, do I notice that here, Lolcow Farms, and 4Chan NEVER buys into their stuff. As a matter of fact, people are consistent with the demand for accountability to the point of being unnecessarily cruel about it. Because, for some reason, it's socially acceptable to be cruel and tortious in the name of accountability for those with Anorexia.
Sarah Gilbeaux isn't getting better. At best, she stagnates. But more often than not, she gets WORSE. Only Sarah Gilbeaux can help Sarah Gilbeaux. She has to be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
And, sadly, it likely means Sarah needs to experience egregious loss after loss after loss after loss (job, home, parents, etc.) for the message to sink in.
If it ever does at all.
No, she's not a Munchausen. I've got a lot of experience with clients like her. Sarah Gilbeaux is malingering. "Diseases", COVID, surgery, etc. are a GODSEND and a BLESSING for the malingerer. Means they have that coveted condition that prevents, or precludes, them from searching for a job, or getting and keeping one.
It's irritating and a slap to the face of people (including people with real bona fide disabilities and chronic diseases like cancer) who DO go to work every day, and who DO take care of theirselves.
Hell... it's even a slap to Russell "the face" Greer. Even Greer will go out there and work (even multiple jobs) and maintain his own stankpartment.
And I've never seen anyone being exactly generous or "understanding" about his mental illnesses, psychosexual issues, and even his Mobius. But I see it with Sarah here, and that is...concerning. Sarah is not sympathetic. She is not funny, likeable, or entertaining--and I say that as someone who finds Luna Slater and fucking Raven Sparks and Venus Palermo with some (occasional) funny, likeable, and sympathetic moments. Sarah truly is one who is (frankly) disturbing and incorrigible and not worth much of anything.
The whining does negate her real problems. She is an adult. One with a baccalaureate degree, and who had jobs in the past. She whines because she hasn't tasted the sting of a steel toed workboot to that brick face of hers. She should. It might bump her IQ several points and improve her physical appearance.
