Post must be from before 2020. I don't trust anyone who made it through 2020 without developing a new vice and/or worsening an existing mental health problem.

He sounds fake. Or like a liar.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He’s masking his true problems.

Which perhaps should be a lesson to some people. Everybody has issues. That doesn't mean you need to share them with everyone. Especially at the workplace.

I agree and disagree.

Agree: You shouldn't make your problems be other peoples' problems. One of my philosophies is that nobody deserves to suffer someone else's bad day.

Disagree: You deserve accommodations for any mental, physical, or social health issue that you are taking care of through appropriate care. You should be able to speak openly about how these affect you, if you choose to reveal those details. You of course can speak with your supervisor or HR reps.

Also my real point was that nobody is without these issues. There are those who know they have them, and those who think they only affect other people. This person being perceived as so perfect is surely struggling just as much as anyone else and may never ask for help.

I am of the belief that your depression, your ADHD, your messy divorce, your whatever the fuck else is happening outside of work should not be discussed with your boss, with HR, with your coworkers, or anyone else at work. These people are not your friends and they will never use this information to help you, only to hurt you. It's not school, your boss isn't going to give you an extra 30 minutes on the final exam, they will only use it as a thing to point to if there are problems. Protect yourself.

Sorry but going that extreme is unhealthy. You’re not a robot on a factory, you’re a human who is part of a society and you deserve respect.

I suspect you’ve long gone without support. I’m sorry for that, you deserved better.

My advice to you: use your sick days. Ask for help when you need it.

This is the most true thing that I've read in this discussion so far. Good work. ⭐

Don’t be fooled.

They just don’t give their feelings or conditions the same words like the rest of the world does.

They have a panic attack and it’s not a ‘panic attack’ despite all the symptoms they have that are a panic attack. I’ve known too many of these types that get anxious and then suddenly claim they are fine and never get panic attacks. And everyone close to them are sworn to secrecy to not show they ever had such a weak moment.

They want to be un-relatable to what they associate as ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

I once had explained what a flu is to a vegan who caught a flu a week later only she didn’t call it a flu and she refused to see a doctor. She decided she ate something that had pesticides in it. But oh no she never got the flu or Covid. It could never be called that because the vegan diet is too sanctified to be associated with such ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

Wtf does your diet have to do with catching airborne diseases anyway?
Did she really think swapping meat for broccoli would magically make her immune to all illness?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Oh she was hard committed to riding that rocket down the delusional path for as long as it would take her.

Did you not know that your body works with the resources you give it? That's okay. Here is an accredited article on the subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9772031/ A system that has the nutrients to make an immune response is more effective than the malnourished one.

His name wouldn't happen to be Patrick Batemen, would it?
