I had a roommate like this as well, it's both frustrating and sad to see someone like this. He did things like go to the ER when he had a mild cold (in the US) because it was the weekend, instead of waiting a day or two for a family practice to open. I think he paid ~$700 and his attitude was basically, "well, fuck me I guess. This would happen to me." I tried to explain that he was in control and he chose this outcome, but his mind was made up on the matter. It was bizarre.

I'm really curious about what causes this. It sounds like it could be psychological, biological, or maybe a mix of both. I hope this continues to get further research.

For anyone else who is curious, the text was edited. Here's the original.

Thimerosal is an ethylmercury-based preservative – different from the kind of mercury found in seafood, called methylmercury. Ethylmercury has a shorter half-life in the body. The amount of ethylmercury contained in a flu vaccine (25 micrograms) is about half of that contained in a 3oz serving of canned tuna fish (40 micrograms).

lol. Saving Americans from the equivalent of 1.5oz of tuna.

This is me! I have this.

It never really hit me how bad my memory is until a couple years ago, when I had dinner with my dad and some of his friends. My dad started reminiscing for 20 minutes about a trip we took ~5 years prior. I was in a few pictures from the trip, so I know I was there, but I don't remember it. It was deeply unsettling listening to all of the events that happened with zero memory of them. I have ADHD and anxiety, which my counselor said both contribute to memory loss like that. I've made my peace with it now, so I'm ok. I can rewatch movies and shows fairly often at least. :)

he is so smol
