Do you think it's okay to not have an opinion on something?
  • On something, yeah. On everything? No.

  • InfoWars
  • same as it ever was
  • Probably not "Marcus is gay" since they didn't have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.

  • Just walk it off
  • Aww, is someone having to change their quote, because what they said was incorrect, but you can't admit to it so you pretend you didn't say what you actually did say?

    You didn't say "depression is in your head". You said "Objectively, depression is JUST in your head."

    That's something an overconfident moron with no understanding of psychiatry might say.

  • Just walk it off
  • You don't understand what an example is? Dear lord.

    You wrote that. It's bullshit. Harmful bullshit, I might add. But you're just not big enough of a person to admit to mistakes, even though we all make them.

  • Just walk it off
  • So by saying "OBJECTIVELY, depression is just in your head" you actually meant "well, depression isn't just in your head, it encompasses the whole body and we all understand about how mind-body dualism is a naive concept and everything in your body affects your mind and the other way around. depression creates inflammation through-out the body, robbing it of vital functionality required to maintain proper homeostasis, leading to a feedback loop worsening the situation"?

    That's quite a lot of subtext for something that's prescriptively opposite of the comment.

    Are you sure you're not just lying because you're ashamed of having said something incorrect? Because to me, that seems much more simple of an explanation.

    Imagine me writing "the earth is flat" and then arguing that if you read that as if I thought the earth was flat, you're a moron, since I "obviously" meant that the Earth is of course actually an oblate spheroid. That would seem a tad silly, wouldn't it?

  • Just walk it off
  • Than directly quoting you and then quoting the part where you say you didn't say the thing you said?

    It's gonna be challenging, I'll tell you that.

    You just can't admit you said something which isn't true.

  • Just walk it off
  • "I never said depression is just in your head"

    "You're just misinterpreting me"

    I don't want to sound like Matthew Perry here (RIP), but could you be any more childish?

  • They're fucking
  • As if he could still manage an erection.

  • fuckery
  • I take "what the absolute fuck" to mean there's a platonic ideal of "fuck" and that's what they're referring to.

    But this did make me want to find out the etymology of "absolute" :

  • Just walk it off
  • "Objectively, it's JUST in your head."

    You said something moronic which I've proved completely wrong and instead of manning up and taking your words back, you dig in deeper to your stupidity, as if this was real life and you could get away with your bullshit.

    You don't know a single thing about psychiatry, child.

    Edit and also digestive issues are very much commonplace in mental disorders and poor nutrition can cause depression and in depression your entire body gets inflamed, so one could actually say depression is also in your arse

  • Just walk it off
  • Your reading comprehension is utter fucking garbage.

    You have said "depression is JUST in your head", because you're a ignorant and arrogant kid.

    Saying "Just in your head" is dumb as fuck doesn't mean I am claiming depression doesn't affect your brain. Who the fuck would ever think that? You'd have to be a real moron.

    You're trying to pretend you didn't say "just in your head".

    And you're ignoring the part where I show how easily I could induce depression in any human in a matter of weeks. Physically. By affecting their body.

    But to expect you'd understand that mind/body dualism is an incredibly naive view to hold when discussing psychiatry.

  • Just walk it off
  • "It's just in your head"

    "Nobody is denting that depression affects your entire body."

    This is what I mean. Youre defending this dipshit because you thought me rude. You're defending a willfully ignorant dolt who's literally saying "trustmebro" over me explaining how nothing is "just" in your head or your body because there is no such division in our bodies, and how depression can be induced extremely easily just by changing the physical environment of a person and limiting their nutrients.

    So it's incredibly fucking reductive (and thus harmful misinfo) to say "it's just in your head". And you're defending a person who did that, because "he's just being skeptical".

    You're like the right wing fuck nuts who try to read deeper meaning into Trump's demented babbling, saying what a genius he is while he's talking absolute gibberish..

    He's not being skeptical. He's ignoring actual science and asserting his ignorant "trustmebro" facts. That's not skepticism ffs.

  • Just walk it off
  • "Blindly trusting science"

    No-one is blindly trusting science.

    I'm saying we know for a fact how depression affects your entire body.

    "FelixCress is just being skeptical"

    No, they're not. They're like a flat earther. They have absolutely no idea even of the basics of psychiatry.

    This is why Trump won. People like you defending people like him. Not all opinions are equal.

    You're making an argument about skepticism, but you trust a guy who doesn't have sources and doesn't reason his "it's just in your head" bullshit?

    So anyone can claim literally anything they want and if anyone dares point out how we actually do know for a fact the Earth isn't flat, you'll get mad and start blaming those people for eugenics while defending some dipshit as "just skeptic" who's claiming the Earth is pancake shaped.

    Fucking hell it's depressing just how strong the antiscience culture is.

  • Just walk it off
  • To claim that depression is not a mental disorder is ridiculous.

    No-one has.

    You're just too lazy to read any of that and you're too proud to admit what moronic bullshit it was to say "it's just in your head."

    Your reading comprehension is garbage and you don't know the first thing about psychiatry.

  • Just walk it off
  • I have, aye.

    You're still going on about how when you google the term, you'll get a Wikipedia link and it says "mental disorder" right? I mean that completely means everything I proved about depression affecting your whole body wrong, without you needing to open any of them, doesn't it? /s

    "It's just in your head" is the most naive quote I've read about depression in a decade.

  • Being loved or at least desired by someone must be nice
  • It's alright man.

    I can see you clearly mean well.

    I'm just very frustrated about that. Slightly triggering.

    Take care of yourself as it seems that no one else will.

    Thanks. I still have at least 1.5 years of therapy left and he's a really good British guy, and people don't get be homeless in Finland too easily, so that's a bonus. The people and systems just suck and the rightwing government is making them shittier as fast as they can.

  • Being loved or at least desired by someone must be nice
  • Maybe in what they are saying is a kernel of a truth

    So symptoms can appear before a supposed cause has happened?

    I never had any problems with mood as a kid. Now that I can't work, I do.

    Hmm.

    Almost as if there was a correlation. Which leads me to journals and basically logs of my shit I have. Which quite clearly show the correlation. Also sleep diaries (band recorder from wrist) from the better part of a year, and still. They said I don't need sleep studies (which me and my psychiatrist were pushing for) as "just give him more antipsychotics".

    Maybe in what they are saying is a kernel of a truth

    There literally isn't and I've personally studied this personal issue for my entire fucking life, and know what helps what doesn't and what is psychosomatic and what isn't. As I've gone through all variations, such as when I fast, pretty much all of the problems go away, only to be replaced by the alight ones the fasting causes, but they're nothing in comparison. Then I can stress myself out in any ways and still have none of those psychosomatic symptoms.

    Maybe people should accept doctors are people and people can make mistakes. But no. So they can't accept anything has been wrong and I could have a point. And they can't even defend their bullshit, but when I made a complaint to the ombudsman, quoting ICD-10 and the current local doctoral guidelines, still nothing, "Nah nothing wrong done, you're just a junkie."

    I the problems since I was a kid. I started smoking weed the first time around 17-18.

    Most of my current psychosomatic issues come from the rage I get from having to deal with people like you

  • Being loved or at least desired by someone must be nice
  • I guess something similar could be used for drug user that somehow is intepreted as addict.

    This would rely on the doctors first having empathy second being able to use it third be willing to use it.

    I got a bit of progress when I switched my healthcare services to a hc station I knew to have young doctors. As my "drug use" is me using less alcohol than the average person, smoking high-CBD low THC weed and in my early twenties experimented with a few party drugs. This has been recorder as me having had "a serious multisubstance abuse problems"

    for weed if it's possible (wikipedia says that it's legal for medical use.)

    Ruahahaha yeah technically it is legal. There's like a dozen people in the country with a prescription. One is a friend though. He went thorough years of pushing it through with private doctors he practically knew and he has severe nerve pain. Even then you have to eat opiates before ever being allowed to even have a doctor propose that you might benefit from legal cannabis.

    Definitely would never be given to me no matter what I had, as they've deemed me a junkie because I admitted medical use of cannabis. Despite me having gone to weekly randomised drug tests for months on end pissing clean, showing I'm not an addict of any sort.

    I am uninformed but I heard from psychiatrist that weed has some negative effects on mental illness.

    High THC low CBD strains definitely can have negative effects. But usually they people who use those strains take the slight jitters their superpotent weed gives them rather than having unimaginable nervepain throbbing constantly. I'm definitely not in the "no side effects in cannabis" camp, but I had politely tried all of their things and to try and figure this shit out, I thought giving doctors more info would help. That it would help them deduce what's wrong, because cannabis helped my horrible digestive issues, in turn helping me sleep and not be so anxious. (If your stomach constantly hurts as if you were stressing something, you begin to stress about something, even when there's nothing to stress about. Somatopsychic instead of psychosomatic.)

    But no. Basically ruined my life. Fucking wish I could go back to my 18-year old self and slap me around "honesty is overvalued and will only get you in trouble. You want to just seem like you're honest, while lying your ass off."

    "Ride on painkillers"

    Lol what? Eat ibuprofen or opiates... for digestive issues?

    Yeah, you do know what you're talking about when you say "I am totally clueless". No offense, but spot on.

    I have been without weed for months several times. Why do people always assume I haven't?

  • Thought this might be topical.

    Also, from the lyrics: "Team by team, reporters baffled trump"

    Isn't "MAGA" an admission that currently, America is NOT great?

    Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
