This is the same process that leads people to wanna have victim status.
Bro what. A victim of vitamin deficiency? It might be high time for you take a break from being online and get some vitamin d
The guy WANTS a deficiency so everyone will give him attention for it.
No dude, the first guy wants an easy answer to how shit he feels, because an easy answer means an easy solution. Generally speaking, people don’t like having problems that are entirely outside of their own power to fix.
The second person doesn’t want the deficiency, they already have it and have been struggling with it for a long time and what they wish for is love and support from people, to have their struggle validated.
It’s like the difference between a successful day of back breaking work when you’re a slave, vs a day of back breaking work when you’re working for your own benefit. The validation of the self-work comes from the benefits you reap because of it. There is no validation for the exact same work if you’re a slave, because you didn’t choose to do the work and you don’t benefit either. A little empathy and respect from your fellow man for the good work you did that you were forced to endure for no benefit to yourself would be the only solace you can hope to receive and isn’t really a whole lot to ask for grand scheme of things.
Ahhh yeah it’s two different people. Guy 1 wants to find out his default state is dysphoria and guy 2 wants attention.
NGL, I personally would like to find out that I can just feel and be better on the regular with a simple fix.
Yeah guy 2 wants “
attention” support but he doesn’t want a problem so that he can getattentionsupport. He already has the problem and simply wishes he had support from others. He also doesn’t want to be a victim. He already feels like a victim of his circumstance. The support from others would make him feel less like a victim and more like somebody who has overcome adversity.So you have empathy and understanding for yourself, but no one else.
Cool. 🙄

It was folic acid for me. Turns out me and my family don’t get the full affect of vitamins or medicines. After some genetic testing we are all taking it and are all feeling a lot better and our meds are actually working. It’s nuts how simple it was to turn us all around.
Looks like a few ways to test for this, how’d you guys find the needle in the haystack? Doctors won’t actually run all the tests for cost reasons…
I kept having to change meds because different ones didn’t work. One doc got me genetic testing which cost me about $15.
Last few times I had a doctor appointment I was low on Vitamin D. Unsurprising. I don’t like being in the sun.
D has got to be one of the easiest to take. No side effects unless you take a stupid amount. Generally pretty cheap for a large quantity. Numerous studies have linked vitamin D intake to reduced death from all causes. Of course there are some that discount that effect, but it’s not gonna hurt if you do take it. Might want to give it a shot if you aren’t already.
I just started eating more greens and drinking whole milk, as suggested by my doctor because it was just a slight deficiency. I just haven’t been to the doctor since to see if it’s helping.
Grab the pills when you get a chance. The whole milk only has enough vitamin d to offset the amount used by your body to use the calcium in the milk, so it’s net zero additional vitamin d in your diet to drink fortified vitamin D milk. If you’re like me, you’ll feel a significant difference.
Iron deficiency for me. Still miserable, but less so.
Hey mannn, bro to bro, can you please stop treating your disorders like they’re a personality. That’s all millenials do is make up disorders and self diagnose. This is why I became a therapist actually, went through all the liberal bs they told me at Yale, am now a registered therapist and secretly when they come in I tell people to stop self diagnosing, they keep coming back and I keep telling them this very thing. Wonder when they will learn, hopefully before the company I work for finds out and fires my ass.
Eat beef, drink wine.
Doesnt even need to be an actual vitamin, just a basic chemical imbalance. That is why many people experiment with nootropics.
Ashwagandha <3
And L-theanine and magnesium bisglycinate
I have incredible news for some eggs
not only do you now have the Vitamin, you also have crippling Medical Debt
Yeah turns out all I had to do was take a pill of Diet Meth in the morning and now I can function like a human being
Have you tried buying some multivitamins at the store just to rule out that THAT was the issue?
Store bought multivitamins aren’t even guaranteed to rule it out. For a myriad of different reasons, you can still have deficiencies even if you take a multivitamin. So, maybe it’s worth a try, but if it doesn’t work, that doesn’t mean there couldn’t still be a deficiency.
Recently did some research on what the treatment would be for a particular deficiency.
Found that general-purpose multivitamins provide about 0.5% of the therapeutic amount.
So yeah, there can be a massive difference between the little bit of help a multivitamin can give vs. what you really need for a specific condition.
Until he sees his bill…*

Sorta but also as bad as insurance is, if you have any and go to the ER, an ambulance ride and an ER visit are generally flat rate and not an absurd amount of money. It all goes downhill once you’re fully hospitalized.
I’m low on Vitamin $
That is actually the vitamin that most people lack to be happy and unanxious
[reverently] All this time, you lacked the Dollar? And yet you persevered?
tremulously raises hands to bask in the perseverance
Got an honest to god laugh out of me.
Honestly, that kinda happened to me.
Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…
Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/
It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”
Mine was noticed because I have a multinodular goider. I asked about potential issues with it a couple times over the years and was always told I just needed to lose weight till the doctor finally noticed it in my early 20s. Who knew it was a lot easier to be active and control your appetite when your metabolism is actually working and you don’t feel like you always wanna crawl into bed?
You normally will get it after puberty, pregnancy, or menopause(at least with what I have, which is hashimotos thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. Not sure about others) so, if it’s similar you likely developed it during puberty like myself and didn’t realize it or notice the changes because you assumed it was normal.
This was me except it was narcolepsy. Which isn’t as fun because it’s incurable and also largely untreatable. Most medications and aids are supportive, not corrective.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…

This was me except I was disappointed when the blood test came back completely healthy. I guess it’s all in my head after all…
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).
Thank you, I think it was a mix of anxiety/depression and life circumstances. The stress causes me not to eat enough in the first half of the day and I would feel very low energy.
Since then I’ve started a new job, moved across the country, got back into the gym, and that reset has helped a lot.
The Spice Melange!
Now we can never leave this planet
Why would we want to, it’s 100% beach.
Did someone say beach?
That’s basically what therapy is. The lack of vitamin is the damage you received in your childhood that you just thought was normal.
Then you actually recount the experience to a therapist and they tell you how not normal that is and help you to recognize the fact that you had to go through that without support and that the way you are is because you had to cope to support yourself to survive when no one else was there for you.
Once you know it then you can tell all your friends and get them to awe at your seemingly inhuman perseverance.
Boo, that’s far more complicated than popping a pill once a day.
I’m curious, are you American? It seems to be such a phenomenon that Americans love talking about therapy.
I find it perplexing.
I am not.
For me this was ADHD meds. I was always lacking, but ever since I self-prescribed darknet amphetamines I’m much happier. Therapy wasn’t shit for me, I’m glad it helps others but I never had any trauma and I feel like it’s too over-prescribed instead of drugs that fix the issue.
I never had any trauma
It’s hard to know this by yourself. I’m assuming you’ve been through the process but I wouldn’t want others to assume they could self-assess this at all - it’s not possible.
and I feel like it’s too over-prescribed instead of drugs that fix the issue.
I think generally the sentiment is that america over-relies on drugs to fix mental health problems. But I can understand that if you have a chemical imbalance or need drugs that it would seem like there are a lot of hoops to jump through before you get there.
That’s fair, in the UK there’s the opposite problem, getting a script for drugs that fix the issue is nigh-impossible, instead you get told to go attend CBT sessions for a broken arm
Living through trauma isn’t really a super power. And I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. In fact, I don’t usually share what happened to me with anyone but my therapist and my wife.
Not a superpower, agreed.
I’ve found many shared experiences when I thought my experience was unique. Sharing my personal traumas with people in my life has both helped them to understand me as well as sometimes help them also. In the same ways I have felt alone I have helped other to realize they are not alone and often that can be the first step to them getting real help.
That’s fair, I probably shouldn’t keep this stuff to myself if I want to get better from it.
Do it you coward i dare you.
(now you gotta cause i dared you)
Therapy might help with the childhood trauma but it imparts the poverty trauma.
Which one is better depends on the build you’re going for and whether you want to recruit all companions and get the true ending or are fine with the neutral.
Unfortunately this is the case in America but not everywhere. Seems like a trauma on it’s own.
That said, there are resources and many therapists in the US who will work for free or at reduced rates on a case by case basis.
That last paragraph. It just shows that your therapist sucks. Or you aren’t doing therapy right. But oh my, I’m sure you’re now walking around telling everyone how therapy saved you and how they all should do it to.
The last sentence was facetious/tongue in cheek because the op is a meme.
I do advocate for therapy to others.
