I really suck at knowing when I’m being trolled. I’m not the one in the screenshot but I’m in the thread. This comment was just particularly egregious.

    It’s classic social darwinism, these people would have agreed with Nazi propaganda about wasting funds on disabled people. I’ve heard that stereotype about candy, I wonder if there really is any difference versus the average. When having issues with emotional regulation I find myself consuming tons of sugar and wanting to smoke a ton of weed, I could see the drive for drug-use and candy consumption having similar causes.

    People just cannot properly empathize with others in these states if they haven’t experienced them, like severe drug addiction or malnutrition. One of the big things they focus on during in-patient treatment for acute emotional or psychological distress is eating well. Even if people are getting enough calories, I wonder how their mental health is being affective by lack of certain nutrients that the brain uses. The majority of people in the US at least probably don’t have very balanced diets.

      Most days I eat barely 1,000 calories. Once or twice a week maybe, I eat a decent meal, and this keeps me from dying/actually starving. Instead I live in this purgatory where I’m mentally fucked off, my skin and hair are gross and fucked off, etc. I don’t have interests anymore and I’m always stressed out and bitching and I’m shitty to be around.

      Worse still, when you don’t eat, you don’t really get high.
