      @@maryeckel9682 that's unfortunately a very common experience we needed to endure back in the 80's and 90's. When we'd get bullied or harrassed, it was always our fault.
      I don't know how old this teacher was, but she's giving boomer energy. I've also read a book by a famous (boomer) makeup artist, where she gave advice on how to cover different "issues", and also body shamed everyone who isn't hourglass shaped.
      The reason I read said book was that I was looking for products and tips for my atopic skin, and to deal with excema. It's just 100% useless to be told "if you have excema, you need to apply full coverage foundation to cover it". Which is litterally the content of that book, paired with photos before and after makeup, going over all skin conditions the exact same way.

    I’m not a doctor, this is not medical advice. But my daughter has a similar condition called Rapid Gastric Emptying Syndrome, which is usually a result of gastric bypass, not congenital like hers. We did the vomiting up to 12 times a day, radioactive food, X-rays, bloodwork,and many other gastric issues for 8 years. When we finally got that diagnosis and got her on periactin, her symptoms probably 80% vanished. We also got on the FODMAP diet. There’s an app with Monash university. Over the last 3 years we got off the medicine once her body healed but she’ll be with FODMAP the rest of her life. I don’t know if it will help you but my heart absolutely breaks for you. I pray you find an answer. That’s not an mlm.😊❤

    Hannah, if you feel comfortable doing so I would definitely suggest seeking a therapist specializing in emetephobia/contagion OCD. I have had the same fear of vomiting/food poisoning (among other things) since I was six years old and it has very much effected my daily life. I finally starting going to therapy for it about a year ago and it has really helped me. Well wishes to you and the family.

    Story #1 breaks my heart. As one who suffers from chronic stomach issues and many other issues, her story of getting a diagnosis sounds very familiar to my journey. I had the endoscopy. I had to eat the radioactive oatmeal and sit under an instrument for a gastric emptying test. I, too, have severe emetophobia. I have many food sensitivities and allergies. I, too, became frustrated with going to the Dr. (though not ever fearful - just tired of wasting money to be told that I needed to go on antidepressants when I wasn't depressed). It certainly is a journey and I just want to comfort Erica in the first story that there are still some good Drs out there between all the weeds. I was scammed by fake Drs until I found one that is an MD that practices integrated medicine - so he finds the root cause and tries to fix that issue rather than slapping a pill in the mix and calling it a day. I do have gastroparesis, celiac, and a dairy allergy just to name a few of the many chronic illnesses I have. I won't see one that isn't an MD, though, due to being scammed by one without the medical degree (which backs up knowledge about the physiology of the human body and who has taken in-depth courses on pathologies). I am receiving the best care that I've ever had because of this Dr. He doesn't peddle his own products, can write prescriptions or give necessary vaccines, has a medical degree, and seeks to treat the root cause of the issue with solid scientific evidence of bloodwork and testing rather than some psycho arm pulling nonsense scam where someone doesn't take insurance and sells their own supplements. I spent thousands before I saw through the lies and that those kinds of people prey on desperate, sick individuals. I hope you find a Dr. that you can trust and who can help you just like I did. It took awhile but it was worth it in the end. (Love your cat photos! I had a wonderful cat that I used to say was more like a dog than a cat sometimes. She also couldn't retract her claws, but she never clawed our furniture. She was a joy in our lives for 18 years. I love seeing other people's kitties since I no longer have mine with me as she passed about 4 years ago.) And, Hannah, I absolutely LOVE to hear your sweet cats meowing in the background! I had headphones in last week listening to one with the kitty noises in the background and it was so super sweet!

      Fellow stomach issue person here, I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and a hiatal hernia, plus somewhat chronic constipation, which the nausea meds don’t help with…I related so hard to her story and HATE that she went through everything. Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion, so I had to go through quite a bit to confirm that that’s ‘all’ I was going through. Best wishes to you

      @@MusikGirl23 I’m so sorry you are dealing with that but I do understand what a relief it is to finally have a name to something. I also have a genetic condition that is finally getting some knowledge but is still greatly misunderstood by Drs. I have a wonderful PT who helps immensely! I hope you have a wonderful team behind you. May I suggest Georgina’s Journey. She also has cyclic vomiting and talks about her walk to get a dx. She’s super sweet and lives somewhere in the UK, I believe. I think her videos for that were about 1-3 years ago. She doesn’t post a ton anymore because her health isn’t doing so well. I just know how great the UA-cam support was for me on my journey after dx and knowing others out there understood what I was going through.

    I actually went to a Primerica interview in my late twenties (I'm 45) and I just got a shady vibe. I was a single parent, their vague answers about how much I could make and all of the variables didn't sit well with me. I'm someone who wants to know EXACTLY what the pay is, EXACTLY what I'll be doing... I don't have time for vagueness. Also, I hate sales. Haha! Great video!

    I have had a very similar experience with doctors when I, too, was throwing up multiple times a day for almost a year. Also got tons of tests done, also didn't get any clear answers. Luckily it's better now (though my tummy can be very sensitive). I feel so much for her in that story -- it's not pleasant to be sick, it's not pleasant to constantly be at the doctor's, and it's not pleasant to get no answers through it all. A hun taking advantage of that is disgusting. Sending healing energy to the author of that story ❤

      So similar to my story too. I've been ill for a decade now. Started with stomach pain and nausea. I have so many symptoms that are seemingly unrelated and doctors are useless. They wont look at the whole picture. Male specialists are so arrogant and talk to me like I'm an intellectually impaired labrador. I have to build myself up to going, or even making, appointments because takes a lot of mental strength to face them, all for them to shrug and belittle me.

      Here is a fact my 23 year old son told me when I said that my cats have no response to catnip (have had many, many cats over the years and only one would roll around in the bush outside and go nutso). He then told me that our cats here (due to being an island) the effect of the nip has been bred out due to inbreeding 😅. Not just the trope about the two headed Tasmanians due to inbreeding, now we have inbred cats!

I used to work for them and if you hear anyone harassing other shoppers you're supposed to separate the harasser from the other person, and try to get them to a manager so the manager can take over. I never had to do it but I heard about it happening once at my store.

    Story 2: From what I've watched from other creators (Eris Bies talks about it in some of her videos) who have been part of and left MLMs, the lawsuits happen fairly often when people high in the company and their downlines move companies. It seems like the new company tends to cover the cost of legal fees and such, presumably because they expect that person and their downline to make them a ton of money. I assume it could be considered 'protecting their investment' in a way, the investment being the effort to get that person and their downline over to their company.
