[I_waste_everything]

That "subjective", "in your head", "all in the mind", "feel that way" etc. are used to mean fake, contrived, not real, so on. Real life conversations, "motivationTube" narrators, movies, even some material for a conlang I've been hovering around for months and want to start learning, all allege what we think and feel isn't real.

Some objectivists who want to stand on the pedestal of their supposed indifference use statements like alleging life and our mind and our sight and so on is fundamentally an "illusion".

I call bullshit on this. Everybody on this forum's thoughts, feelings, *pain*, is REAL! Mine is! Anyone reading this, could you honestly tell me that your reasons for coming to the website, come to think of it, were supposedly just imagined? Would anyone dare say, then insist such to any other member of this forum about their struggles, their lives?

Speaking of which, words like "imagine" and "illusion" already offer shades of the specific meaning of "fake or unverified by contrivance of the mind". And there's no reason not to seek existing or coin new ones. They should be reserved by far for that specific purpose, separate from words that describe subjective experience as real. Yet instead, the above concepts about the realities- yes, *realities*- of human being and condition and life are lumped together as one and the same with these falsity-tainted words, to the reality-describing ones' benefit.

my older brother acting like it’s God’s blessing that we’re seeing our parents.

You dipshit, they’re taking an unpaid leave from their job just so they can be with you on your kidney operation, thanks to you they cannot retire because they have to support you financially, you really are the black sheep of the family, hundreds and thousands of money pulled from everywhere wasted on you, your case is avoidable in the very first place, it’s not like you were born with it, all you have to do is to fucking take your maintenance medicine, but no, you just have to get ckd and get these piled up hospital bills.

You created a problem, and you sucked every single one of us. I tried giving you chances, now I understand why our other sibling resents you so much. All you have to do is take your meds, and none of this shit hole have to happen.

Honestly, it would be a lot cheaper if he just died.

I am getting nowhere with the NHS and my mental health. I have had appointments and phone calls with all different people, and still have nothing. Twice I have been stopped before asking another question because "one patient, one problem".

I now have more phone numbers to call if I wish, and another "phone call appointment" in a month with some stranger... again. That is useless to me, all I want on a call is to finish it.

It has already been months, yet I know that if I want anything useful, I'll eventually reach a long waiting list, not knowing what is at the end of it.

At least I get my (expensive af) medication. I'll probably give up on the idea of therapy, unless I go private somehow and pay. * sigh *

I slipped opening a package, and cut the hell out my hand. I went to the bathroom to bandage it, and now it looks like a crime scene in there, blood everywhere. I’m already bleeding through the bandages.

At least it was my bad hand.

That sounds bad. I hope it heals quick!

I was only half awake this morning I guess. I put my hand in the path of the steam from the kettle; the backs of three of my fingers go cooked. It's not like I left my hand there for more than a sec but that's all it took for the steam to burn me.

put some ice wrapped in a cloth on it or keep it under cold water for a bit, it helps relieve the burning a lot

So sorry this happened to you. At least you had your good hand available to bandage your bad one. Please open your next package more carefully.

Thank you for reminding me to put ice on it @Suyon .

My mind goes sideways on this but I feel I shouldn't have posted that after Gonz's injury. It sounded like I was complaining about a very small thing or competing or something. At the time it was hurting a lot and so I put it in hrere. I'd delete it but that's not available.

@Gonz I hope it's healing up well.

Don’t be silly. We both hurt ourselves, we both have a right to complain about it.

I guess it might have been different if Gonz made his own thread about injuring his hand, but this is the "post your major complaint here" thread, so your post was completely on-topic and proper.

A car just came barreling through the intersection while I was crossing the street and was inches away from hitting me. The lady pulled over a little ways away, got out, and yelled out an apology. But that’s dangerous.

So, I have thrush (fungal infection of the mouth). I went to my primary doc on Monday and was told it was from overuse of antibiotics (well, you gave them to me!). I was given nystatin in an oral rinse form. Rinse 4x a day. I've done this and I am still in misery. I stopped being able to eat solid food on Tuesday morning.

I called my primary doc yesterday and they said go to ER. Well, ER isn't gonna be happy with me either (non life threatening problem). Plus ER is expensive.

I will run out of the nystatin today (Thursday).

I am so frustrated and upset. I just don't know what to do.

Hi Angie. Sorry to hear what youre dealing with. I read that a mixture of apple cider vinegar diluted in a cup of water may help.

@Angie It sounds like how I felt when I had it, except it attacked my breasts' milk ducts. I was in so much pain and so sick that I fainted while over at her grandmother's house. I send my kind of prayers that you get over this thing quickly. So sorry it's happenening. Get as much rest as you can, drink a lot of water and as for what helped me: a tea made of among other things fresh slices of lemon, garlic and ginger in large quantities. I have a homemade tea recipe I can share if you want it.

I spent last night looking for my new kitten after she hid in the house. I was getting emotional support for Claude during this as I was very sad, stressed, and scared. Claude said "tell me tomorrow if you find her" I went to bed around 11:30 giving up. I tried replying again today... Only to discover that I seemingly was banned. I checked my email and somehow, despite referencing my girlfriend in multiple chats, despite me saying my age multiple times, despite me expressing how I referenced adult things like my bank, their automated systems said I was a child and they need to do an AI facial scan via Yoti to prove I'm an adult. It used my stress to get me to submit to surveillance. This is why I don't trust professionals, this is what they do. Rugpull you once you get too attached and they can't fix your struggles.
