N.B. This is a serious topic. Please stop spreading propaganda about acetaminophen being addictive or causing autism. Please read the study. The point of the study is not about acetaminophen. It is about social pain can hurt as much as physiological pain. Only people with trait of high level of forgiveness responded to acetaminophen. Acetaminophen will not work for you if you not a kind. forgiving person. No need to worry about acetaminophen if you have a weak trait. Kindness can be learned by not trolling
Social pain (psychache), such as ostracisation/rejection/bullying, can hurt as much as physical pain. Forgiveness and acetaminophen have interactive effects on experiences of social pain. Telling victims to just “let it go” is just like withholding pain medicines from patients recovering from surgery.
We need to tell the victims that psychological wounds are like physical wounds. They will heal but the healing processes can be long and painful. Psychological pain may come back in waves, and the scars may remain just like physical scars. If the psychological pain is unbearable, don’t hesitant to seek mental health. “It’s okay not to be okay.” Don’t be persuaded to think “it is all in the head.” Psychological wounds are as real as physical wounds. Good luck.
I hit something a little different for my depressed attitudes and it works as good as a prescribed medication. Alpha GPC
If alpha GPC (choline) works you might have methylation mutations impacting your folate metabolism. Have a look at methylfolate, b2 and methylcobalamin and maybe get your MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT genes tested. The supplement trimethylglycine might do ya wonders too
Yeah I’m not doing any of that. Already don’t have a full deck to play with, so they could just call it that and fee me to the poorhouse for the priviledge. Alpha gpc’s main attraction is its cheap and easy to get
Alpha GPC is literally the most expensive thing on that list, those are vitamins B2, B9 and B12. You’ll probably benefit from egg yolk which contains the fat soluble version of alpha GPC (choline)
I have all that here, too and so far they’ve done nothing but make my pee neon yellow for a couple days. A-gpc hits me about 30 minutes after ingestion and lasts about 4 hours. At 150mg dosage it lasts me twice as long as the rda
I have feel like that pretty often when sad, it does genuinely hurt
So it makes sense to me
So it no longer causes autism? /s
No it still does but that ship has sailed at this point so might as well use it.
No and neither can 5G
This appears to be a tiny undergrad study on something neat. I think y’all are reading too much into this. Also, there appears to be no link between acetaminophen and autism but that has absolutely nothing to do with this study.
Great now autism is going to spread from parent to children
Propaganda can be spread like wild fire
Acetaminophen reduces fever, not pain
So not that much unlike alcohol then
There is also research that shows that acetaminophen is not a particularly effective pain reliever, or at least, that it is only an effective pain reliever for a subset of the population.
So I don’t know how much this would prove.
Ibuprofen is the stuff of the gods.
Anecdotally it doesn’t work for me, exactly. It sort of makes me feel numb and slow. So sometimes I take it specifically to get that feeling. This happens even in small doses.
It works for me it also gives me a little bit of a buzz. I usually take ibuprofen though unless it’s something bad in which case I take one of each.
its much weaker than the non-selective cox inhibitors, naproxen, ibuprofin or even aspirin. in managing fever and pain. its only useful in mild pain that isnt chronic and not severe pain.
You telling me I can painkiller my way away from the massive amounts of cringe I generate? Say less, lemme go buy a costco-sized barrel of excedrin
You get deep enough into any emotion and it will start overlapping physical neurotransmitter pathways.
Just ask anyone thats done research into schizoid personality disorder.
“The part of the computer that does one thing is connected to the part of the computer that does another thing 🤯”
Except our brains can change their wiring.
Tylenol has never worked for physical pain in my experience, but can’t say I ever tried it for emotional pain. Glad to hear it does something.
More like proof paracetamol fucks up your brain, we already know it kills empathy
And according to America’s Leading Experts™️, it causes autisim
wait so i can take actual physical pain meds to feel better?
It you have read the article, only for peopl with high level of forgiveness.
Im still wondering what the helll does it mean to have “a high level of forgiveness”
fuck
You can learn to be a better person. We all can.
no way i’m being a “better person” for people that will fuck me over as soon as i let them again.
they be a better person for a change.
That’s how it feels, sure. But you can’t properly control what other people do. You can control what you do.
In situations where you’ve been fucked over, you can’t force the other person to feel guilty, try to make amends or seek your forgiveness. That would be great, but you can’t make it happen. All you can do is move on from it, which means forgiving them. If you hold a grudge, that’s mental effort, time and energy that you’re continuing to spend on them, because of the shit that they did. If you can forgive them, not only does it make you a better person, it also removes the control they have over you. It’s not exactly satisfying, but ask yourself what would be. The past isn’t going to change, and that asshole isn’t going to suddenly grow a conscience. Don’t let their actions ruin who you are by getting consumed with bitter feelings!
I know this is kind of general, and some things are a lot harder to forgive than others, but I find it’s amazing how much easier it gets as time passes. I’ve been treated horrendously over the years and I refuse to hold a grudge. I’ve shaken hands and made jokes with past abusers, which is probably the biggest “fuck you” I could give them. They know what they did; I’m still happy and functioning. They have no power over me, and I certainly will never let them close enough to do that again.
I know this is all a bit unsolicited on my part here, but I just recognised what you wrote as something I’ve felt too, and I would’ve liked someone to tell me this when I was. I’m not trying to preach.it’s fine, i enjoy relating to people’s experiences. i don’t let this kind of stuff consume me anymore though, i treat people how they act towards me. that sometimes includes not being nice.
i draw lines on what i don’t want, and that makes me look unforgiving, but anyone can learn to be better.
in any case i appreciate your thoughtful response.
So, not only sticks and stones; now words can hurt you!
Always have been (able to.)
Yes, it is the essence. Words can hurt. That’s what we have been telling people.
It seems like a weird idea at first, but people self-medicate with all sorts of substances to ease their mental pain. Thinking of it that way, it makes sense that a pain reliever like acetaminophen might help.
