Well, now I'm sad.

I really wish people would learn to not engage with rage bait. I understand wanting to defend the thing but they really don't care. Hate gets them engagement. (And at least on the steam forums clown badges that award steam points so even just giving clowns is rewarding them) Ignore them and they don't get what they want. I just wish we could collectively just report and block. OTL

The flag bot is still running amok I see. XD

Just had a bunch of Sims screenshots flagged which yeah one of them was shirtless but also male so, no violations. Lol. But the Sims 3 bases are literally Ken dolls anyway.

Is it just me or is tumblr slowing being taken over by porn bots? I swear, everytime I look at comments on interesting posts there's at least a dozen peddling theirs wares, if you know what I mean.

How is it when laying in bed in the dark I can think of amazing sentences that are cohesive and expressive and when I sit down in a well lit room to write it down my head is blank. It’s like I walked too close to a magnet somewhere and lost all the data.

Reminder that not everyone is going to ship what you ship.

Your friends will ship things you can’t stand, and you’ll ship things they can’t stand. 

It happens.

Strangers will flock to ships that make your flesh crawl, and you might find yourself all alone on an island of rare pair.

That’s okay.

What’s not okay is harassing people about the ships they like. Just ship and let ship. Blacklist tags if you have to, or better yet - go outside, take a walk, and remind yourself that not everyone has to like the same thing in order to exist peacefully.

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

[lingering-spirit]

this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.

he gave me 100

This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.

Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.

I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart

[teacupdream]

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

When you press in firmly, it will probably hurt. Here’s the test: LET GO. Does it get better or get worse? Appendicitis will immediately hurt worse when you let go. Cramps will not. Go to the ER if the rebound test makes it worse!

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

My husband got sent home from the ER with a rupturing appendix. When he came back and was rushed into surgery, the surgeon was super angry – “Why didn’t anyone do the rebound test?!”

[deinde-prandium]

All great info, but there is another lesson to be learned here: if you’re in major pain, it’s probably important - so don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. There is a documented pattern of women who go to the ER with complaints of pain being dismissed as overreacting…when in reality women have an incredibly high tolerance for pain, to the point that some don’t even realize exactly how serious their condition is. These stories only serve to illustrate this point.

Every time I see this..

^the women have a high pain tolerance thing…my orthopedic surgeon, the first day I met him laid me down and messed with my shoulder. At this point I had been told by doctors and another orthopedic surgeon I was overreacting and making my pain up…for months. There were days I missed class because I couldn’t get dressed. Anyways, he laid me down and messed with my shoulder. When he was done he helped me sit up, and went and sat down across the room from me. He looked me dead in the eye and said “I just dislocated your shoulder, put it back in, and you didn’t flinch. You needed surgery four months ago.” He was pissed. Seriously, don’t take major pains lightly, in the abdomen or otherwise.

I’ve never seen this post with all of that useful info. I’m amazing

[xelbleedsglitter]

My appendicitis was also a similar intensity as my period, and I only suspected it might be something else because I am on continuous birth control (so I don’t, you know, experience the equivalent pain of an exploding organ every month). If I hadn’t been on the pills, I would have just taken a sick day the next day and tried to get through it, even though I was delirious and threw up for the first time in twenty years because of the pain. I had just had another surgery two weeks prior that messed with my birth control and so part of me thought it was just a symptom of that. I don’t know what would have happened if it had ruptured. I got a sense that the pain was in a slightly different spot and it would not respond at all to medication and that was the only reason I got my brother to take me to the hospital.

It would be real great if we weren’t just expected to be in pain all the time and were actually taken seriously, because I writhed on my bathroom floor for hours before I thought it might be serious enough that someone would actually listen to me.

Not appendicitis but my older sis went to ER with severe cramps and the doctor told her it was just menstrual pain and to go home and take pain killers. (This was now a number of years ago.)

Turns out, it was cervical cancer which was later confirmed terminal and she passed away about a year later.

So if you have pain that you feel is not normal for your body (and only you know what's normal for you) don't let anyone tell you it's normal.

I just want everything to be over already so I don't have to deal with this shit anymore and I can be at home in my own space and not feel alone anymore.

After everything that’s happened... my washing machine chooses today to pack it in. And I’m pretty sure my toaster broke this morning too.
