A simple mental health pain scale.

[southernbitchface]

I’m so thankful this exists. I think that many people with mental health issues (myself included) downplay what they’re going through.

I’m an 8 right now. If I hadn’t seen this chart tonight I’d keep denying my struggle. Now I have to face it.

[beauty-grace-outer-space]

Reblogging for my followers. My own mental health took a bit of a nosedive last week. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. ♡♡

very brave and very sexy of matthew mercer to give his players access to a library in which they can ask for any information, anything at all, about the world he’s made

Nott: Do you think our friends would be upset with me if I rifled through their belongings looking for my flask?

Yasha: …probably. That feels very, uh, eehhhhhhhhhn- that’s- I don’t know if you should do that.

Nott, meekly: But what if I find it?

Yasha: Well… Who do you feel like you wanna check? Who do you feel like has it?

Nott: They’re all so shifty.

The rest of the cast: [abrupt snickers and giggles]

Yasha, confused: They’re sleeping.

Marisha, quietly, through wheezing laughter: “They’re sleeping.”

Nott: I know.

Travis, leaning back in his chair: Mouth open sleeping [fakes snoring]

Nott: I mean, Caleb has killed his own family members, he could do anything…

Liam: [frozen in place, mouth hanging open, like a deer caught in the headlights]

Nott: Beau is a known mail fraud… convict…

Liam to Ashley: That is new information to you. Brand new.

Nott: Fjord is… he’s just mean… Caduceus, he wouldn’t do that, he’s a nice guy-

Taliesin: [hearty chuckle in Caduceus’ voice]

Nott: Jester, I’m not sure about Jester. I mean, I trust her of course, she’s the cutest of the cute, but.. at the same time it’s like, do we know much about her? She likes to deface property, she likes committing petty thef- er, petty crimes, anyway.

Yasha, reassuring: Yeah, but I don’t think she would do such a thing.

Nott, nodding: Yeah, I don’t think so, she’s sweet. She’s sweet.

Yasha: …What do you mean, “Caleb killed his whole family?”

Nott: Ah, you know, it’s a figure of speech where I’m from.

The rest of the cast, including Liam: [losing it]

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

[mommacomms]

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[robynspreciousnest]

This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.

[operahousebookworm]

“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”

[thebibliosphere]

“Oh no sweetie, you’re not insane. You’re describing what we now know to be a histamine intolerance disorder…I’m sorry for the way you’ve been treated. But we’re going to help make things better for you going forward.”

So I guess I have a Magic Nutritionist to add to my collection. Also I’ve not been crying on and off all day, you’ve been crying on and off all day.

[akela-nakamura]

I’m reading some of the symptoms of this and OH MY GOD. 

-Chronic headache

-Unexplained exhaustion

-Sleep problems

-Congested, runny, or itchy nose

-Unexplained anxiety

And MORE. 

I’m sitting here like 

LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS????? 

Considering THIS is one of the causes?

-Vitamin B-6, vitamin C, copper, or zinc deficiencies

Along with THIS:

-Extreme or chronic stress

AND

-Injury or trauma

It also says antidepressants can cause it and not one person looked at you and said: “Hmm, maybe it’s THIS”???

GOD WOW. 

I am SO glad you got an answer, I am SO happy for you and I wish you a wonderful and painless experience with Magic Nutrition Lady. Magic Physio Man should approve.

[thebibliosphere]

“ and not one person looked at you and said: “Hmm, maybe it’s THIS”???”

lol, of course they didn’t, they were too busy assuming I was an irrational female and kept upping my valium dosage, which, as a fun aside, valium is linked to an increase of histamine levels in the body. Even the pain killers I’m currently prescribed, are linked to a histamine response.

I literally cannot fucking even right now. But god fuck and damn me I’m alive to seek vengeance so there’s that.

[dadaae]

What are the treatments for histamine intolerance?

[thebibliosphere]

They’re kind of at a loss cause they don’t really even know how to officially diagnose it let alone treat it. Diagnosis hinges primarily on ruling other things out first and then going “welp, shit.”

Some doctors in the US don’t think it’s even real, but according to my new doctor it’s gaining traction thanks to European research. And the way it’s treated is through low histamine diet for 6 weeks to try and lower body inflammation, and then you find out what you can tolerate and try not to overload your system and trigger a meltdown. So it’s basically just constant lifestyle management, antihistamines, and hoping like fuck they figure something out soon.

There’s also supposed to be some benefits from taking a specific food enzyme? But I haven’t looked much in that yet.

[thej-key]

I mean

A disease a lot of the American medical community doesn’t recognize as being a thing, that has no real known and developed treatment…

No wonder your other doctors didn’t diagnose you with it, chances are they might not have heard about it.

[thebibliosphere]

The rage is less about the lack of diagnosis and more about the abuse in the interim.

When you’ve been sick for as long as I have, you eventually realize it’s going to take either a scientific breakthrough in your lifetime for you illness to become validated, or finding that one doctor who has seen and read the latest research, and goes “wait a minute”.

I was never mad about the lack of diagnosis. Saddened, but not angry.

My anger comes from the doctors that looked at my chronic pain as a child and said to my parents, “young girls are attention seekers, just ignore it.”

It came from the doctor in the rehab facility where I was wrongfully placed, who told me I was too pretty to be sick while he stuck a needle full of sedatives into my arm, which did nothing to dull the pain, but made me too weak to complain.

For the enterity of my teens and twenties being told “there’s nothing wrong, go away, shut up, take your valium and shut up” and then when I refused to stay sedated, being labelled as a “problem patient”.

For the doctor in the US who immediately looked at my history and suggested I be on anti-psychotics, and maybe if I lost weight I wouldn’t be in so much pain. The same doctor who when I dropped 20lbs in 6 weeks and almost died from what I thought was a virus, who congratulated me on my weight loss and said I looked “nice and trim” and wasn’t concerned when I said the pain hadn’t stopped.

All the doctors who listened to me calmly stating, because you have to be calm, if you’re not calm they’ll sedate you, the symptoms I was feeling, and telling me point blank not to worry so much, I was causing the symptoms with worry. Have I tried finding a hobby? I should look into yoga. Oh you used to teach it? Well you should know better then…

I’m not angry that it took so long to get a diagnosis for something rare and barely understood. I’m angry because for the last 20+ years I’ve been abused, tortured, treated for conditions I don’t have against my will, and to top it all off, been made to feel like I deserved it.

I can forgive the lack of knowledge. I cannot forgive the lack of compassion.

[rainingsmilesnow]

I honestly feel this so much. I recently went to a new gyno and told her all the issues that have progressively gotten worse over the years (never ending acne and I'm almost 30, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, uncontrollable weight gain, joint pain, near constant exhaustion, issues eating certain things especially around my periods, painful heavy periods, but always normal blood work). Her first question was if my hormones had ever been tested, to which I said no. "Well you're describing textbook PCOS so we need to do that just to verify. How long have you been on birth control? 10 years? Okay, that probably why your periods arestill regular and you're able to function during them. They have probably told you that you just need more self control and to lose some weight didn't they? Well fuck them. No one can lose weight if their body is over producing insulin. Someone should have already checked this for you, not just your thyroid and called it good."

I almost cried in her office because just having a possible answer was relief. Blood tests came back with my testosterone in the 40s and fasting insulin at 16.9 on their scale. So now I have an answer and she's been great about everything.

[oldcoyote]

i had a moment today while watching a whiny shitlord complain about the injustice of new sci-fi media having more female leads, i suddenly felt the strangest sense of déjà vu. i couldn’t pintpoint it at first but then out of nowhere, it fucking dawned on me

This is the single greatest meme in the history of the Internet everyone can stop making memes now we don’t need any more ever again

Ya’ll talk about the Mom Friend and the Older Sibling Friend but I hear nothing about the Goblin Friend

Eats food up off the floor screaming something about the five second rule

Sweatpants count as a look

Throws everything in a pile on the nearest surface as soon as they’re home

“Haha that’s gross let me see”

Hoards of some sort. Mugs, pens, notebooks, anything

Sitting in a dark room for hours wrapped up in seven blankets in front of a laptop unblinking

Makes weird noise effects to express emotions

Laying on random surfaces
