Are you lost needing femoid advice post here - For the poor bastard's who dare or are just curious

It's a weird attitude in our culture to treat science as infallible and honest, rather than recognizing more and more it has become a business, as have academic institutions

It's the same mentality that brought us troons and a lot of other gay bullshit. It's about the label.

Science has been labelled "true" and "reliable", therefore it is. A man has been labelled "woman", therefore he is. This medicine is labelled "safe" and "effective", therefore it is. The left has been labelled "progressive", therefore it is.

It's fucking disturbing how many people rely completely on being told what to think, and then actually think it. They will go to insane lengths to defend the label, but once you cut through the veneer, there's nothing behind the label.

Scientific research, and the absolutely corrupt machine known as "peer review", should be given all of the scepticism and none of the trust.

The horrors my body went through on risperdal and still suffers from have nearly zero answers except "yeah it fucks up your hormones maybe probably" but the men who grew boobs while on it get studies and lawsuit payouts. I go to the gyno and get birth control thrown at me as though fucking up the same hormones isn't what made this 10x worse. It must be poor diet and exercise that converted 10hr overnight pads to 4hr on-a-good-day pads. At least I'll never get my hopes up that they'll look into it because who cares what women on psychiatric medication say about how it fucked them up, they're clearly hysterical.

Lamictal is some fucked shit, legit ruined my hormones, gave me gynecomastia and gave me a late puberty.
I have no fucking clue how that shit is legal to prescribe to small children.

And that's not even a "reported" side effect. It took decades of suicides, family annihilations, and mass shootings for the FDA to put a black box warning on SSRIs, Johnson & Johnson knew for years this shit makes you grow tiddies. I swear lamictal is going to be up next within a decade. It's especially worrying with iPad kids and self diagnosed middle schoolers insisting they're ADHD and autistic like they're not just going to get some sort of ritalin alternative or worse. They're making life-long patients by tossing god knows what at kids displaying any sort of unruly behavior. Their parents are willing to let them pop pills like candy as long as it might shut them up or keep them from offing themselves.

I initially thought it was funny risperdal was used to treat aggression in autistic kids, being neither autistic nor a kid, until I took it myself. It was a low maintenance dose and still fucked me, a fully grown adult, up. I had all the agency, or as much as someone in a psychotic episode could have (which is a whole other rant), to choose to take them. These children do not and I'm sure the rammifications of taking such medications aren't more important than mommy's netflix and wine binge. We'll see within our lifetime how badly these medications can wreck people, we already are.

That shit is pure poison even by zogpill standards. Any anti-psychotic is, really.

, Johnson & Johnson knew for years this shit makes you grow tiddies.

I know this is irrelevant but I love that this link goes on and on about gynecomastia and then mentions diabetes, nerve disorders, and killing dementia patients as passing details.

Edit:

February 2015. A young boy who developed size 46 DD breasts from Risperdal won a $2.5 million verdict against the manufacturer.

Somehow I don't believe that this man developing breasts that size was entirely (or even primarily) the fault of the drug:

Perhaps he was a bad example to give!

the recommendations for birth control are bordering on being malicious. You are not supposed to have crippling pains when you are on your period. Pushing pills and so on is just another way that women's medical issues get dismissed without fixing the root cause. Shit like this can have serious consequences.

Could not agree MORE with this. A lot of doctors ARE LAZY and WILL push pills instead of treating a condition from its root cause. Even with serious stuff like hormonal health.

I've seen gynos prescribe estrogen pills to anorexic girls that have lost their period instead of trying to treat the AN that's causing the hormonal imbalance. Its that bad


mental health doctors also prescribe pills like candy instead of doing their job. Why is it like this

Finding root cause takes work. Prescribing pills earns kickbacks.

Hey Kiwifrens I'm at a loss. I took some advice from this thread to pick myself up, be more confident and talk to more people. I met this girl a few weeks ago and I thought it was going great. We were texting everyday, talked on the phone quite a few times, and went on a few dates that were a lot of fun. We went out last night and it was, from my perspective, absolutely perfect. I'll spare you the details, but we kissed before we split up. This morning she told me she's not interested. I'm just really demotivated right now cause I couldn't imagine things going any better and it still wasn't enough.

This is the story of life. You see one thing, she sees another. There is no answer.

Without knowing the details, all I can say is that could just be her intuition. Sometimes our bodies will just say that something will not click in the long run based on physical interaction. It is a strange and primal thing that pops up at times. Either way, cutting it off early and without much fuss is good on her to do, she spared you a lot of trouble. Soldier on, nigga.

They stopped selling hot pockets with the little sleeve that makes them crisp and flakey. Is there a knockoff brand that has the sleeve or a way to cook them without the sleeve that will make them good?

That sucks, sorry to here that. It's hard to take this advice to heart in your situation but think of all the positive that you have gotten out from it. See it like another experience you got under your belt that will make you better in the future.

 

[Rekeita's Kidneys]

Because psychiatry is purely skeptical psuedoscientific bullshit. Instead of physically lobotomizing people like they did not too long ago, they put you on tranquilizers that render you an invalid.

I genuinely have pity for schizophrenics and people dealing with severe shit because there really is no good proper treatments, let alone a fucking cure.

Genuinely, we need to hold psychs accountable like any other MD, over prescription of drugs for kickbacks is incredibly illegal yet they're somehow allowed to do it on the regular.

Yeah and to add to this don't take this as a failure because of yourself. Her not being interested doesn't have to do anything to do with you, you might have or could've done EVERYTHING perfect and she still could've been uninterested, maybe not feeling things, feeling uncompatible, realizing she's in a bad spot for a relationship right now.

Its normal to feel hurt, but don't beat yourself up and like TheCuntler (lol) said, consider it a learning experience

I got this exact same advice from a woman I met while being on holidays and us talking about relationships, and the like. It's such an obvious thing, but the thought had never crossed my mind before and it made taking a rejection way easier. It's easy to directly jump to: "Man it's all my fault" when that's not necessarily the case.

It could be his fault too. Maybe she didn't like his shoes, maybe he was too eager, or not eager enough, or maybe it was something else.

The point is, it doesn't matter. If there's not a meeting of minds, there's not a meeting of minds.

Men often have this insane idea that they need to find out what the reason was, so (most likely) they can then negotiate it with her, or (less likely) they can change that aspect of themselves to suit her.
Both of these are terrible propositions for a long term successful relationship.

Be the best version of yourself that you can be, and you'll find someone who will fit you, and you for them.

Agreed about the pills. What's your excuse for not being in therapy though? Because you also said this....

(Sorry for shitting up the thread, I just kinda got carried away into venting about pent up shit I guess lol)

... and something women fucking hate is being treated as a man's therapist simply because he has a lot of "pent up shit" and it's convenient for him to dump it on her.

So maybe revisit that therapy thing. Turns out you have a lot to talk about and introspect on.

Therapy is a bit shit now as well. Too much diagnosing normal personality variations as ADHD and ODD and ADD and whatever other fucking letter of the alphabet they're using. Far too little accepting what can't be changed and working to change what can.

Men need to get male friends and talk shit out with them.

Honestly, if men could just do this, we wouldn't need this thread. I don't know why more men don't understand that.

 

[Rekeita's Kidneys]

Therapy legitimately only exists as a surrogate activity for men. It doesn't help any "set in stone" issues such as psychiatric disorders, physical illness etc.

It legitimately only helps with coping and that's about it.

If it genuinely helped people with medical disorders besides "mood disorders" (reaction to said medical issues) it would be great.
