    • @josephr5038
      @josephr5038 4 роки тому +100

      She switched out an addiction to cocaine and alcohol and replaced it with a mental condition known as body dysmorphia called “bigorexia” or reverse anorexia. The addiction isn’t about what her body looks like, it’s about the dangers of using HGH and (probably) steroids. It’s not that she looks bad, which she doesn’t (for female bodybuilders) it’s the addiction and mental illness that go along with it.

  • @udubeats4543

    Adult thumb sucking is far more common than people think. It usually stems from childhood trauma that hasn't been addressed. For many, the things they experienced were so normalized they don't even realize they went through trauma and that seems to be the most common scenario for people needing to soothe with thumb sucking. I have seen it so many times and it almost always resolves when the trauma is addressed. So if you are an adult thumb sucker, please do a real evaluation of potential childhood trauma.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the supplements she takes is causing swelling in her neck, or if it's from muscle growth. & Over years, with HGH & tons of protein, someone can get that big without steroids. She prob takes tons of stuff that boosts testosterone.

    I have this “strange addiction” of sucking my thumb. I’m 22 and only do it to go to sleep or when I’m extremely stressed out. It calms me down in many ways, I never understood why I had this habit or why I could never stop doing it but I’ve done it all my life even in primary school I would zone out and not even know I was doing it. I have very bad anxiety and I’m assuming it stems from that... my parents were never comforting emotionally or physically and it is very comforting when I do it to sleep. I wish I could stop, but no luck. It is very soothing and helps when I’m feeling hungry, stressed or very tired. If I have trouble sleeping I can suck my thumb and knock out within minutes I hate that I still have to do it to go to sleep peacefully 😔

Id get so mad when my mom would wash it. I stopped suckijg my thumb but got this weird tick where I would smell my thumb frequently like a tick. Lasted a few years (till like 16). Im 30 now and no lie, when I gave my life to Jesus, it helped me SO much and I didn't feel i needed to. I hope you can cope if it bothers you.

      She isn't strong. Take away her "supplements" and her steroids, she wouldn't be any stronger than the average man. Those muscles are for show and are breaking down, not gaining strength. Why do you think she has to take steroids to feel stronger?

    Lauren is very driven and successful. I highly respect her for that and her confidence. I'm guessing she never felt like she fit in anyway so why not stand out, right! However 6 hrs a day workouts are too much in a day, esp. If you aren't getting ready for competition. Balance is the answer for all of us. And I'm glad Lauren see that too. You go girl!

    My aunt is in her mid 40s and still sucks her thumb. She only does it at home and in the presence of our family. Seeing her do this was just normal when I was growing up and when I got older I asked why she hasn’t stopped. She says it just comforts her and helps her relax. Only thing is that her teeth do have an arch but other than that it doesn’t affect her life. I don’t see anything wrong with it tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Well I think she is learning that it doesn't matter if people like her or not because she's proud of herself.
      But maybe she needs to be a little more proud. She's pushing to hard. Deep down she knows she needs more "me time" than pushing to be proud of herself time.
      Just maybe. It's never good to assume your pre dispositions are true. *affirming nod* but, that sounds likely to me.

    I sucked my thumb for as long as I can remember. I got picked on in schooI a lot over it. The teachers encouraged it because they thought it would get me to stop. I pierced my tongue when I was 19 and it helped. But when I turned 25 I started smoking and the thumb sucking totally stopped. I started going to therapy after my marriage fell apart, and a few years ago after a lot of testing I was diagnosed with autism. The thumb sucking was considered "stimming behavior" and because I hated myself for it, I replaced it with something that's gross, addictive, and potentially deadly. It was better for everyone if they saw a cigarette in my mouth instead of my thumb.

    My parents have gotten divorced and remarried three times now and when I was in my teens that’s when I made my mind up that what they did was not going to affect the path of my life.. and so I guess my realization is that some people don’t have that sort of mentality..

    I sucked my thumb until I was 16. I was also abused physically and mentally and never given a pacifier. It was one of those habits I tried breaking but as soon as I was stressed it was my comfort. I STILL have a special blanket.
