r/TraumatizeThemBack - "What's Your Body Count"

[@degenerateangel6891]

My response to "What's your body count?" is to get extremely defensive and say "They can't prove anything."

[@shinymainespoon]

[@celticphoenix2579]

I had a woman aggressively interrogating me on why I don't have children. I tried to redirect, no dice. I tried to politely disengage, not happening. Eventually I snapped. Looked her dead in the face and said: "I have children. Two of them. Neither one got to draw a first breath. The first because the man who raped me forced me to terminate at 5 weeks, and the second because my ovaries are blighted so my little one died around 2 months gestation due to my egg having none of my own DNA in it. So tell me exactly how I should have babies with empty eggs?!" I watched her turn half a dozen fascinating shades before literally running away from me. Bystanders tried telling me I shouldn't have said that, but I told them if she didn't want to know the answer then she shouldn't have asked.

When i could still walk, waddle, i used to use crutches. I was standing at a food truck with a friend when this man in a red coat approached us. He asked if he could ask us something. We assumed he wanted directions, so we said yes. This man asks me why I'm using crutches, with out thinking i ask him he's wearing a red coat. He spent the next ten minutes telling me i was rude, saying it was his 'Christian interest in humanity', i was asking stupid questions. Every single time he opened his mouth i would ask him about his glasses, his coat, his trousers, haircut you name it and i was asking it. I had dinner and a free show

I suspect my dad "doesn't remember" the time I traumatized him back. I think I was 16 or 17, and saying I'd wash the dishes LATER (not even not at all, just wanted to finish what I was already doing.) My dad said I wasn't too old to spank and I replied that if you spank a kid once they've started puberty, it's sexual. He walked out of the room and I didn't have to wash the dishes.

[@tuckmasterg]

I did something similar My dad is an OTR(over the road) trucker, and every single time without fail, on the last day/day before, he'll get all huffy and do a mini spring cleaning and 1 day he called me from my grandmother (due to lack of space I lived with her at the time) to come over and help even though I didn't live there I biked over and asked why I gotta help He started shouting saying I'm family and I gotta help and then he started to grab his belt for insubordination I told him, "You start whooping, I'll start moaning," and he got embarrassed to the point he went upstairs and didn't come back down till dinner I said goodbye before I went back home and he went back to work He won't acknowledge the embarrassment

[@WatchingWhileAsleep]

I know people who had to say something like this to their parents. It's weird how many people are okay with spanking 15 year olds until you call them a pedophile

A few months ago on holiday I overheard a teenage girl commenting on/joking about my body, basically saying I looked pregnant and laughing with her friends. (Mind you, I'm neither over nor underweight, I just happened to be a bit bloated, thanks to my period coming up and having forgotten to ask for lactose free milk at breakfast). I smiled at her and told her "You're not that wrong, actually. I'd be about 36 weeks now, had I not had a miscarriage earlier this year". They all went really quiet really quicky. I wonder why

[@waffles3629]

What is it with people? Seriously, like how are some people so obtuse? I had someone "congratulate" me on my pregnancy when I was bloated from my hysterectomy (my very wanted hysterectomy btw). I just looked at them with a look of confusion and said something to the effect is "Pregnant...where?? My non-existent uterus? Ummm, interesting". After looking me up and down a few times, and very clearly trying to figure out my sex and therefore if I used to have one or not, they left me alone.

Yeah, he picked about the worst week of my life to say that, cause my life that week was basically sleep at home, go to work, go to Grandma's house where she was on hospice, repeat. I was so out of fucks so I just looked at him and said "My grandma will be dead by the end of the week, sorry if that's not _"bad enough"_ for you".

Even after submitting copies of my husband's death certificate, I still had certain companies insist that they couldn't speak to me about changing the main name on the account unless they spoke directly to him. Or because reporting his death to social security and our bank equals something on his credit reports, old creditors sent letters trying to collect the debt. I got so frustrated with one company that I told them to write it out in full and send it to me, and I will burn it, place the ashes with his and see if he replies. The call got escalated to a supervisor, who actually started to get a bit huffy with me, until he realized exactly what I was saying. Then somehow the issue was resolved and he swore I would not be receiving any more letters or calls from their company.

For the past few days I've resorted to wearing a mask at work. I've been battling a non-Covid cold and since I work in the refrigerated section of a grocery store, said cold has triggered a few nosebleeds and I found that wearing a mask reduces the nosebleeds significantly. I had an older man come up to me and snap one of the mask's elastic straps and say "You don't need to wear these anymore sweetie" just as I felt a sneeze coming on. So I pulled my mask down around my neck then sneezed up a disgusting combination of mucus and blood into my hands and told him "I'm currently dealing with a pretty severe sinus infection which has caused multiple nosebleeds. The mask is helping to reduce the frequency of the nosebleeds." He looked utterly horrified as he walked away. Another customer was nice enough to give me a few baby wipes to clean my hands with. Don't worry, I thoroughly washed my hands afterwards.

Anyway, one day my manager decided to do this while I was working, and I immediately broke down and cried. The reason why I was crying was because my boyfriend was literally dying, and I was about to be homeless soon. Another coworker called her out on this by explaining my situation to her (I was inconsolable) and she stopped sneaking up behind me to scare me ever since. Btw, my boyfriend is fine now, and is actually my fiancé, and I got a new job. She never apologized for that btw.

I look at her dead in the eyes and said "I was hospitalized for anorexia nervosa for 2 years of my life" and left it at that. She did not say anything else regarding food, and the funny thing is, I got discharged from the hospital just a while before getting that job so it was a very fresh trauma for the both of us.

[@christinewalker7242]

Yeah, it depends on the person, but it can affect pooping ability since it can affect how your intestines function. I should remember this. Sure my endometriosis didn't stop my pooping ability, but there's a whole lot of gross or uncomfortable things it did do to me before it was diagnosed and responsibility managed, cause for years the doctors called it a normal period that I needed to suck up and get used to having.

[@waffles3629]

​@@christinewalker7242 ugh, what is it with doctors (and especially gyns) dismissing period problems? My first diagnosed me with a bad case of drama, my second gave me PTSD, the third made the PTSD worse, and the fourth surgically removed my "drama". Yeah, apparently hysterectomy recovery isn't supposed to be "almost as painful as a mild period" and you aren't supposed to wake up from surgery thinking "this is only pleasantly uncomfortable". I made the fourth doc speechless at my post-op appointment due to my pain tolerance, and she'd been prescribing me narcotics for my cramps so it wasn't like she wasn't taking me seriously.

I can’t tell you how many times people have made suggestions as to how I can replace my thyroid medication. I think the one that got me the most was “have you tried coconut oil?” Coconut oil?! Do I just eat it by the spoonful? Do I rub it into my neck? What the HECK is coconut oil supposed to do for my thyroid?!

[@waffles3629]

Probably the same thing that starting to drink water will do for my migraine- nothing. Yes, someone told me that if I started to consume water my migraine would stop during a conversation in which I was holding a water bottle I drank from before they said that. When I pointed that out, and that I was in my 20s and not dead, they replied that didn't prove I'd ever consumed water before. 🤦 I've had so many migraine "cures" suggested to me, most of which are either hangover remedies or pseudoscience bullshit. Including one person who told me I deserved to be in pain because I "refused to try something that was almost as effective as the placebo". Less effective than the placebo is stupid, but the even stupider part was it was actually the control group (it had actually been studied). So it was less effective than doing nothing.

[@Nirrrina]

Walmart actually sells coconut oil pills/capsules. I take them to help with the arthritis around my spinal fusion. I've never heard about them helping thyroids though & I'm on thyroid meds. It's not a complete fix for the arthritis around my fusion. I still require surgical nerve ablations around it to kill off the most painful nerves or I get stabbing pain regardless of if I've remembered to take them & I still require other meds too. But every so often I forget them for a few days & then it starts to feel like I'm being stabbed in the spine by an old fashioned ice pick. Worse it takes several days to take effect again. Just because something helped someone else doesn't mean it will help everyone. I also take Hylands Leg Cramps it's the only homeopathic remedy I've found to actually help me. I tried it out of desperation basically. But it actually helps a bit with the allover pain I have from fibromyalgia & auto immune. Which is worse than the arthritis generally. Unless I once again forget the coconut oil. It doesn't help enough to stop taking my pain meds but when you hurt enough every little bit helps you get through the day. Doesn't mean it would help others though or help enough though. There's a reason prescriptions have taken over more natural remedies after all. They tend to work better & faster. But it doesn't mean more natural remedies won't help at least some. But I treat anything I do like that just as if I'm taking regular medications. Because they are medications & some can really screw things up if you aren't careful. Even food can cause reactions. I got to try some lychee one day & big mistake. Apparently it can cause a reaction for auto immune. I was almost shivering with the pain it brought on that night. Quite the unusual reaction. Normally even severe pain doesn't do that. I'll never eat them again & now I know to at least google any new unusual fruits I want to try. It can also be incredibly aggravating when people say do this & it'll help/fix you. Or you need to do this etc. Years ago there was a letter on the Internet that would kindly explain things to people. Everyone is different & different things help them or don't help them. I still don't see how coconut oil is supposed to help thyroid issues though. It's supposed to help with inflammation type things. Which is why it helps my arthritis. Although not my fibromyalgia unfortunately. Or at least not much if at all. Personally I have suggested to consider trying things that have helped me. But I'm clear that doesn't necessarily mean it will help them or that they want to try it with their issues. I just mentioned that this helped me some but not completely. If you want to try it that's up to you & maybe your doctor as you see fit. Besides how do I know you're not on a medication that would prevent you from taking this thing. Some natural remedies really screw with meds. As for coconut oil you can take the capsules or you can cook with it. I don't think it helps being rubbed on though. I prefer the capsules because it's easier. Also I don't cook enough to use it that way. I believe you can also choose to just eat it too but that's definitely not going to taste very good at all. Another example is that I used a pheromone collar for my friends dog who was so terrified of the 4th of July he'd refuse to go outside & hide under the desk shaking. But with the collar he was moving around, playing, ate some & even quickly went outside to potty. A huge difference for him thankfully. But other folks have found it doesn't work for their pet or only lightly works. I got the cat version to take my cat to the vet & I do think it helped some. But she was still scared & crying the whole way there & back. But not as loudly as in the past.

My grandpa always liked to "tease" everyone, but he often took it too far. When I was in college, I was telling my grandparents about how I was going to study abroad in Japan for a year. Well, grandpa decided it was the perfect time to start teasing me about my lack of a relationship (I'm aroace, but that wasn't something I was ever really going to tell him, mostly because I didn't want to present a full lecture on the complexities of sexuality). He proceeded to harp on about how I must like Asian men and was gonna come back married. I replied that if I were to get married in Japan, I would not be coming back to the US, and besides, how was he even sure I liked men when I've never brought a boyfriend home before?? The look on his face was priceless. He wasn't exactly homophobic, but he definitely hadn't expected me to imply that I could be a lesbian. He never brought up my relationship status again after that, so I like to think he learned his lesson there.

Which is true, it is impossible for me to be a lesbian since I'm a demiguy.

I can relate to people telling me to just eat more when it was not that simple. For 4 years, my endometriosis stopped me eating a healthy amount, so I was super skinny. It didn't have to be like that, but the doctors just refused to manage it and it got worse and eating got harder, but they told me that it is normal to be in pain while having your period (constant pain for 3 out of 4 weeks that almost stops you walking and eating? Apparently so) and that I needed to suck it up and get used to it, among other health issues. In fact, it was the doctors that told me to "eat more". I am thankful my endo is now being properly managed, but it was a tiring few years while I was too young to demand birth control (my endo started at 14 and I could only demand birth control when I turned 18 despite my parents backing me up), then figuring out the best birth control without guidance over the next 3 years, and finally after 2 years of minimal symptoms cause I am on the best birth control for me and having to train myself to eat a healthy amount after 7 years of not eating a healthy amount, I am now in a healthy weight range and have so much energy. I would hope even if I couldn't relate, but definitely shaped by my experience, I would never tell someone to eat more. Cause it is likely not that simple and there is probably more at play that is keeping the person from eating enough, financial or health-wise.

Ugh, condolences. Not for the same reason, but I get shamed for not eating quite often as well.

And yet so often I get "Just eat, you'll feel better", or even freaking hangover cures. I've never been hungover. Apparently once you ask people why they want to see what your puke looks like so badly they stop harassing you.

I brushed my teeth and all, and as that was both conferred to dentist and visibly evident, they jumped to a different conclusion.

26:27 The exact moment I did an almost-spit-take realising that the whole school is about to know about this guy's unsolicited shrivelled up roll of dimes and him being an undateable creep, and that his mom will be responsible for circulating that info. The real end result was better though. Props to the mom, the daughter, and that whole coalition of girls standing up for women's and girls' rights to not be harassed and especially protecting the kids from a potentially predator future teacher! If only all people who do this could be so swifttly stopped! But also the parents who encourage this behaviour instead of preventing it should be held accountable too!

24:47 This reminds me of one time when my grandpa was teasing me and making some comment of me going to the bathroom. I pronounced out loud to everyone that I was on my period and had to go change my tampon. He is in his 80s and while not sexist in the least, he is of that generation where such things weren't said out loud. He laughed and was embarassed, and my grandma playfully slapped him on the arm telling him to "mind his own business". 😂 He hasnt teased me about bathroom breaks since.

Access to his preferred age group may be the reason he's studying for an education degree. In the 1970s UK, the Pae*ophile Information Exchange would give careers advice that would give access to preferred age groups - priest, paediatrician, teacher of X subject, scout leader, even then ppl would make great efforts to achieve future success. Dating single mums was also a popular way of accessing her kids, even better if he could babysit while she went to work. In UK now it is forbidden (I believe possibly illegal) for 'lonely hearts' ads to mention children. So no "single mums welcome", "kids not a problem" or anything similar. How sad that such precautions are needed.

[@Uffda.]

One of my nerdy occasional hobbies is looking into what people in the past thought about the youths. I fully encourage people to look up what their elders actually had to say about them as kids/young adults. Or what was written about those elders themselves. People 100 years ago were absolutely saying the same sh- about “kids these days.” They were saying it literal millennia ago. The specifics change (driving around in cars with the opposite sex vs. galavanting around in carriages with the opposite sex, for example), but the main points remain fairly consistent. -Misbehaving/crime/rude -carousing/drink/drugs/loud music -getting too frisky too fast/with the wrong people/before marriage -having kids too soon/too late -being weak/lazy/undisciplined/irresponsible/spoiled -not respecting or heeding elders/traditions That’s pretty much what it boils down to, is one or more of these. Every dang generation lol. Tl;dr- study history, get the tea on elders who have their undies in a knot 😎

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

12:11 My kids' daycare asked my husband and I SEVERAL times if the grandparents can pick up the kids (they didn't want to do govt mandated Saturday or evening care). No. They are all dead. Then they try to clarify, since I'm from another country, how about the local spouse's parents? Dead. We've had this convo at least 4 times now. You'd think they'd have a bit more tact or refer to the intake forms BEFORE asking. So yeah, it amazes me when people don't bother to think that MAYBE an adult's parent(s) is/are dead. Or there is a very good reason not to call them on holidays or leave your children in their care🤦‍♀️

[@waffles3629]

Fr, especially because your parents can even die before you are born, or from your birth. If I ever have kids this would infuriate me, because my partner and I explicitly don't want any kids we bring into our lives subjected to the bullshit of our spawn points. Like to the point adoption will not go on the table until we are no contact. If my (potential) future children ever ended up in their care someone would be getting sued into oblivion.

My partner's mom did the "have you accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior" bit to a telemarketer over the phone. They wouldn't stop calling and she did that to them. They couldn't get off the phone fast enough! It's even more hilarious because she's one of those Christians that gives me back faith in the actual core of the religion as opposed to the church as a whole. She's a really wholesome woman, oh but she has her days. She called us later to tell us about it and we were all laughing about it. She takes her faith very seriously, but isn't above using it for the trope/meme.

Oh the micromanagement story... I felt that deep in my core. I just got out from the very abusive work environment - manager literally destroyed our team and also send out 5 people including me into long medical leave because of severe mental trauma. Not to mention that she got me fired the day I came back from said medical leave. But that's not the point of my story. Back in January she appointed a team leader for us (our coworker) and first thing that witch of leader did was to literally calculate all my bathroom breaks at the end of the day and said to me that I "robbed company of 1 hour of my usefulness and I need to compensate for that". Important info: I have IBS (and she knows that), our company was not limiting bathroom breaks and my work was task related so as long as my work was done I could literally sit and watch KZbin. So yeah. Micromanaging no one ask for.

I worked as a 'apparel sales associate' in Walmart. Well CERTAIN people liked to absolutely destroy the clothing section.

Well, that unhinged, sleep deprived energy turned me into a goblin stalking the clothes racks. 😂 I feel a little bad now, but considering i found a 10 lb tube of ground beef under the folded jeans, and poop in the fitting room, and someone poured doe pee in the plus sized clothes, among other things...I may have been justified. I was the grumpiest employee ever...then i had a mental breakdown, realized it wasn't good for me, and quit. But for a few months I'm pretty sure I had some particularly awful customers convinced i was a serial killer...or possessed.
