Kinda disappointed ngl

Hey, would you be able to see if I’m on it? I won’t be able to try for a few hours and will 1000000% forget to do it later. You’d have my eternal gratitude lmao

My mom gained aphantasia from (we believe) years of undetected epilepsy and TBIs. She loses her things constantly. I have no idea if the two are related in her case. She also has really bad ADHD and the part of her brain that turns what she wants to say into actual sounds is fucked up so she stutters and forgets words and just replaces things with “Thingy”

It’s fascinating to be honest. The stutter and word forgetting thing started after a horse riding accident. It’s okay, though, because she proved she can be a rodeo champ. She stayed on for over 8 seconds. (My mom always mentions the rodeo champ part to lighten the story a bit)

My mom has aphantasia we believe is caused by years of undetected epilepsy and multiple TBIs.

She and I think completely opposite. She has a strict internal monologue with zero pics while I can only think in pictures/scenes and concepts.

Playing DND together is really interesting because we have to get as many visual examples as possible for stuff that’s happening for her to look at. She’s the only one in our group with aphantasia, so we all get pumped to find art to use for the sessions.

I got a hysterectomy last summer and now people don’t ask me about kids much anymore. People who don’t know me well think that I am upset over losing my ability to reproduce. The people I know well know that I had a small party after I got rid of my reproductive organs. I had a custom cake made and everything.

10/10 best medical decisions I’ve ever made for myself

Don’t forget that they can die of a tummy ache!

They have VERY precarious digestion and digestive anatomy. They can very easily colic (colic is a very generalized term here btw) and die. Almost saw a horse die this past spring because it had an empty stomach for just a little too long.

Colic is my biggest fear as a horse owner. My childhood horse died from it. We don’t know what exactly happened with her. We found her exhibiting all the symptoms and we did what we could but by the time the vet got there, she’d been deteriorating for almost 10 hours. She couldn’t stay standing at that point and had nearly crushed me and two other people trying to keep her on her feet. She was put down and the whole thing fucked me up real bad for a long time.

She put up one hell of a fight for being as old as she was. She was 33 and didn’t act it at all.

Yep!

Oh man I love that guy. His vids are great. I esp love his rural medicine bits because I grew up in the boonies and it reminds me of home lmao.

I legit cannot understand how someone can hate like that. Like it just does not make sense to me. Hate and anger is so exhausting. There aren’t many folks I truly hate, but those I do hate are individuals who have wronged me in profound ways and/or have made certain parts of my life Hell.

I can’t imagine how tiring hating entire demographics is.

Why though? Like what is the problem?

I switched a couple months ago and it’s been absolutely fantastic

Lol, lmao even

You have people here who care for you, bro

This isn’t always accurate if your horse has neglected teeth. Make sure to schedule those floats, y’all.

I’ve had a life of endless suffering due to many things. When people tell me it’s all part of our loving God’s plan for me, I almost lose mind. If God exists, he isn’t loving. Inflicting such awful things on your children isn’t love. It’s abuse.

Tysm chicken. The derealization episode I’ve been going through is a lot more manageable today than it has been.
