The Most Embarrassing Constipation Story You'll Ever Hear (And What I Learned) ;)
In this hilariously honest video, I share my personal story of being super constipated in my 20s-a moment so intense I almost called 911. While it’s a little embarrassing, this story is one I share with my patients because constipation is a serious and common issue, especially for those on mental health meds.
From my rookie mistake with protein powder to a life-changing moment on the toilet, I cover:
What caused the constipation disaster
The painful consequences (hello, hemorrhoids)
How I changed my diet and lifestyle to never go through this again
Why it’s so important to talk openly about bowel health
Key Takeaways:
Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable-it can turn into a nightmare. Whether you’re dealing with diet, meds, or life, being proactive about gut health is a must. And trust me, you don’t want to learn the hard way like I did!

    I love the kids got into the video, too. My GF is the manager at the local medical residency. She has several girls on Ozempic or similar meds. Every one of them has had some kind of problem. Now, to complicate things. The local weight-loss clinic has put them on Topomax too to help with cravings. As an aside. I had some psyche problems in the early 2000s and requested Topomax from my shrink. His exact words were "That's rat poison!" but gave me the script anyway. I thought it helped but developed double vision and had to quit taking it. OK, back to the girls. Well they all had personality changes and according to the GF, not for the better. They didn't seem to be with it. Several had stomach problems, and one developed terrible breath. I'm guessing at this point you're wondering what this comment has to do with constipation. Well, one girl was usually very sharp. Her work started slipping, and she had to make one or two trips to the ER for stomach pain. One day, the GF gets a call, and this girl is on the toilet next to my GF's office and has a turd stuck halfway out of her @$$. My GF went to assist but didn't really go into great detail about how they resolved the shituation. I know codeine cough syrup and excess cheese consumption has bound me up a few times. I've pushed so hard the top of my head literally feels like it's going to pop off or feels like I'm going to stroke out. Thanks for sharing. My mother lived in mental health facilities most of her life and I've had a couple borderline girlfriends. With my own past maladies, I've always been interested in anything psyche related.

    You know... science is not always done cleanly and honestly, I've heard from someone who actually did do their research. I've had psychosis (mild schizophrenia) for years now and I've done my own field research on what works for me and doesn't, by utilizing different treatment forms. I did at least 10 different forms of treatment on myself, and three of them are notable enough to be mentioned here. All those three forms are scientifically validated, yet I've not heard nor seen anyone use them. Biogeometry, thymus chakra work, and shadow work. There, I spilled the beans. Enjoy.

      @@A_Psych_Nurse You're most welcome! Biogeometry is easy to find if you google that word or "Ibrahim Karim", its founder. As for thymus chakra, chakras have been scientifically proven to exist (and its easy to experientially prove they exist too) at around 1970s. Paul Chek has one book called "How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy!", where in chapter 5 he has "zone exercises" which are basically chakra exercises. They are supposed to be done like you'd do Tai Chi, which is very simple. There on page 111 is "McKenzie Press-Up" and on page 114 is "Thoracic Mobilization". Those two I've found to be the best for boosting your thymus chakra, especially if you train a bit and combine those two moves into a kind of one standing move.

    Avoid evil people: Baiting is a manipulative tactic where a toxic individual deliberately says or does something hurtful to provoke a reaction. This behavior often includes rude, cruel, or condescending remarks designed to make you feel inferior, embarrassed, or frustrated. The goal is typically to instigate drama, create an argument, or establish control over the situation. People who engage in baiting are often emotionally manipulative and may exhibit subtle forms of abuse. They thrive on creating conflict and undermining others, while rarely taking responsibility for their actions. Instead, they shift blame to the victim, framing any reaction as an overreaction or a fault of the person responding. Baiting is a tactic rooted in control and emotional manipulation, so staying calm and refusing to "take the bait" is key to maintaining your emotional well-being. People falsely acused of delusions do no take the bait ;)

    In the Netherlands, they abuse people and commit them to involuntarily care. 95% of people do not want to be there. There are many people with substance issues, and trauma. The Dutch goverment authorise forced and coersive methods to drug as many people as possible with antipsychotic medication. People then look psychotic due to the side effects when they were fine when they arrive. This is a terrible industry of death and psychiatrists and pharmacies profitting from peoples suffering. These medications have very little evidence of helping anyone. Abusing them and forcing people with autism, trauma and adhd to take them is deadly and dangerous.

    Its clear that people have drug problems that mess up their life. A meth head does meth....the nasty shit they cook up. Not adderal which is what he took in the book and most likely what they gave the "meth heads". Now what kind of meth users did he test? There are meth users that can do it and not be out of control. But believe me there are ALOT of meth heads that ARE out of their fucking minds. Ive known more than a couple. He is very blase about that. And all of them are in prison. There is such a difference between this man who takes a pill...not smokes dirty nasty meth and people who do smoke meth...who are addicted and are completely out of control. And yes smoking meth does mess up your teeth. Like...thats fucking ridiculous. Im not arguing that hardcore meth addicts dont have poor dental hygiene. Im sure they do but come on. He said his friend had a prescription...yeah thats not the same as smoking meth. I mean it is in terms of how it makes you feel. But he popped a pill. Idk...there are people who can take drugs recreationally like this man and not become addicted. But there are clearly people who do become addicted. And it ruins their life and sometimes takes their life. I think he has alot of good points but this is america. People arent doing pure heroin they are doing heroin mixed with fentanyl and peope are dying. Juat bc he can do drugs and it makes him a great guy doesnt mean its like that for everybody. And people show up at the heroin clinic on time bc they are fucking addicted and if they didnt show up they wouldnt get their heroin!!!! Lives are being ruined. And its because of being addicted to drugs. And i can tell you i wasnt abused. I didnt have a mental illness when i was using drugs as a teenager. I made stupid choices and it led to more stupid choices. Then my life was out of control. Im 34 now. It took me years to get my shit together. And believe me you would be surprised at the poor people with drug habits who get up everyday and all they think about is how to get money to get their drugs. And they will get the money. Watch some documentaries about drug addicts. He is a doctor and is an expert on drugs and their chemical make up and what they do to you. But it seems to me his thoughts on addiction are fucked up. Yes it is very likely there is an underlying problem in drug addiction not just the drug itself. But that wont stop people from becoming addicts. He makes a point that not everyone becomes addicted. Ok good for them. But other people do. If someone wants to take drugs thats fine with me. I wont think less of them. Alot of people will though. Its great he wants to destigmatize and have testing places so people know what they are taking. But lets not pretend drugs dont ruin lives. Rich poor black white green pink or yellow. Anyone can become addicted.

But i still feel the aftermath. After just 1 pill. Depression, anxiety, agitated. Slept for 3 days. Could not wake up. Could not cuddle my dog. Was unstable walking. Could not cook anymore, function. Could not stop walking when a car was comming. Ballance problems. Not wanting to eat anymore. Suicidal thoughts...and i realize this product would of made it easer to commit suicide. Zombi. Never was psychotic, but this med was making me psychotic! There where more horrible side effects. Psychiatry of death. Psychiatrists are totally nuts, criminal, nasty and the ones who invented this meds are nasty also. It reminds me of apes who want to go to a murderspree to kill other apes of, like chimps do. Otherwise you would not even prescribe this or invent those pills. Horrible people. Horrible primates.

    Let me mention something that may not occur to most people, or to you, Sir. That is, the fact that, when, if you are used to consuming a lot of caffeine, just like with any other drug, if you stop abruptly, YOU CAN HAVE, AND PROBABLY WOULD NECESSARILY, HAVE, VERY SEVERE DISTURBANCES IN YOUR MOOD, AMONG MANY OTHER SYMPTOMS, LIKE SEVERE HEADACHES, BODY ACHES, FATIGUE, ETC. I KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. YOU CAN BE SO DISORIENTED AND AFFECTED THAT IT MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO REALIZE THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU. THAT IS, IF YOU EVER DO REALIZE IT. I SAY THIS PARTICULARLY RELATIVE TO A PATIENT IN A HOSPITAL. THEY MAY BE UNAWARE OF THIS OUTCOME. AND THE HOSPITAL IS CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY "DRINK THEIR COFFEE," TO RESTORE THEIR PREVIOUS LEVEL OF FUNCTIONALITY. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THIS ISSUE. IT IS SERIOUS. TRY IT ON YOURSELF, IF YOU DRINK A LOT OF COFFEE. YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN! GIVE IT A GOOD 24-48 HOURS. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND. THE QUESTION IS, HOW FREQUENTLY ARE PATIENTS EXPERIENCING THIS, WITHOUT REALIZING THE REASON?

    Free and 100% Natural Healing to Protect Mental Well-Being: Stay mindful of these 7 Ways the Media Can Control Our Minds and Bring Out Our Worst: 1. Desensitizing Us to Violence - Repeated exposure to crime shows and documentaries can make us numb to real-life violence. 2. Lowering Our Self-Esteem - Constant portrayals of wealth and success may leave us feeling inadequate or excluded. 3. Dumbing Us Down - Reality TV tends to prioritize shallow entertainment over meaningful content, steering us away from critical thinking. 4. Spreading Misinformation - Fake news can confuse us and manipulate our views. 5. Distracting Us - Sports, sex, reality TV, and sensational topics often pull us away from important issues. 6. Promoting Sex and Alcohol - Constant emphasis on these themes can dull our thinking and make us more passive, both switch-off the brain, effectively numbing and enslaving the mind, vices. 7. Instilling Fear Through News - Fear-inducing stories increase anxiety, making us more compliant and less likely to take action. This list highlights how media can subtly shape our thoughts and emotions, often in ways we don’t fully realize. Stay safe from mental issues.

    This may also prove helpful to the innocent victims of dark psychology practitioners: 'Reactive abuse' occurs when someone who has been enduring ongoing abuse or provocation finally reacts emotionally, often with anger or defensiveness. The abuser then uses this reaction to label the victim as 'aggressive' or 'unstable,' gaslighting or manipulating the situation to appear as though they are the victim. This tactic can make the true victim feel guilty and question their own behavior, while allowing the abuser to justify their actions and maintain control. Recognizing 'reactive abuse' and dark psychology is crucial for victims to understand that their reaction is a response to continuous harm, not a sign of personal instability or mental illness. Do not be fooled by an overly clever web of liars. Stay safe from mental traps.

    I grew up seeing so many psych issues since I was a kid - bipolar, schizophrenia, active psychosis, depression, suicide attempts that were completed.. I graduate in a year and this route has been on my mind forever just don't know how to deal with the aggression and danger I constantly hear about on psych units

      he's good but genius--so much so that sometimes it's hard for me to know what he writes about :(. Reminds me of difficult philosophy i used to read back in the day.

    I have td and was taking austedo until my dr retired and no one would prescribe it because they said my insurance wouldn't pay for it. I have old prescription bottles to prove that my insurance pays for it! I don't care! Clonazepam was forcibly stopped and I'm 61 and my body isn't working and the pain is intolerable. Fear is the only thing keeping me from giving up.

    These drugs are stored in your bone marrow so even when you go off of them they are slowly getting released back into your bloodstream keeping you perpetual withdrawal!!! Every single psychiatric drug is poison!!! And don't think that the docs don't know. Big pharma,insurance companies and greedy doctors are the only ones getting anything from health care. 1 out of 3 Americans die from patient harm!

    I think I am lucky to have found your video. I have decided to switch my career and I have been offered a job, firstly as a support worker, assisting psychiatric nurses, with the possibility of growth into a nursing role. I honestly do not mind starting in a minor role, but most of the comments that I have received from people I have told what I am doing, seem unsupportive, they mostly tell me that this role is 'harrowing' or 'daunting', but on the first hand, I would genuinely like to help people and I am fully willing to get any training that would be needed. I have been a patient within mental health issues in the past, so, that is one of the main reasons why I would like to give back.

    I developed a major health anxiety due to symptoms caused by severe stress, anxiety and depression. First I took 30 to 45mg mitarzapin. mostly i took 30mg mitarzapin.. Is now down to 15mg mitarzapin.. Have taken mitarzapin since late april.. For the last 2 mothns I have taken 5mg Olanzapin. I have major challenges in life as to find a new place to live,, shared custody of two children the age of 5 and 7,,, And maintain a job as a Teacher... I was forced to buy an appartment since rentel are hard to find in my area.. I ended up being homelss for three weeks before I can move in to my new apportment.. Maintanining a job and relationship with my kids are extremely difficult at the moment.. My problem is that I do not understand why I am taking olanzapin.. Am i bipolar.. Not sure.. about that.. I had an appointment with the department who recommended the use of olanzapin in september ,, but was moved to november.. So I have been teking a drug which have side effects and at the same time not sure that the drugs fit my profile.. I want to taper of on the drugs ... Get down to 2.5 mg olanzapin and 7.5mg mitarzapin so being drug free in 2025 is the goal..
