@theshirarose I saw the story on the news of a 14 year old who just weight loss surgery and I was astonished at how dismissive these recommendations are to the acknowledgment of mental and emotional health. Absolutely horrific.
@ClaireMax Your take & replies here severely lack both though? Your responses to opposing expressions of thought & emotion on the topic are largely invalidating. โI did it & Iโm fine so get over it,โ or โjust find something else to like.โ Empathy requires being fair to yourself & others.
@alec_maltz@raynefq@babyblue60 Thatโs because sarcasm is really just passive-aggression in disguise. I think weโre all starting to prefer direct/assertive communicationโฆ because sarcasm/passive-aggression is disrespectful and ineffective.
@psychotherapym8 Yesss, & also add 3 random people with no healthcare related bsckground or training whatsoever to really spice things up.
Oh wait.
@_john92_@thecimonalisa This reply reads as an attempt by an oppressor to diverge readers & minimize the OPโs point. The terminology the OP chose isnโt relevant, the message still stands, and you know that.
@esq_bee @Gen_Extra@Brandonleemont Last sentence hit me. I will spend hours, sometimes weeks researching the absolute cheapest option for literally anything to save a dollar. It almost turns into obsession. This brought to my awareness the amount of anxiety it causes & all the quality time I forfeit doing so.
