idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it's *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.

Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.

You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.

(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)

One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn't mean "don't take them," it means "if you're at the point where you're on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn't have those side effects."

Have you ever noticed how nice it is outside

sudden urge to burst into tears. im not a toddler i just agree with their beliefs

I have a new coworker and my boss was like “oh yeah one of the reasons I hired him was because I thought you’d get along”. Which

  1. sort of makes me feel like a cheetah in a zoo getting assigned a service dog to help tame my neuroses
  2. kind of offends me because he’s a mellow nerdy socialist flatcap pinstripe vest beardguy who I’m sure plays accordion or banjo or ukulele, which is a whole Type of Guy
  3. frustrates me because I DO genuinely like and get along with him… goddammit it’s working…

oh he’s bisexual that explains it

“don’t you love when you get to be somebody’s manic pixie dream park ranger?” yeah okay touché boss touché

your boss is deadass adding new species to your enclosure one at a time to see how you adjust to the new stimulus

anyone who acts like there's some kind of implicit understanding or sisterhood between all women is straight up lying

i made this post specifically about a friend of mine, so let me say this: if you want to be a girl, but feel like you can't because you would never be comfortable in The Club of Womanhood, don't worry! feeling like an alienated little weirdo who will never Get what other girls seem to pick up naturally is in fact an extremely Girl experience
