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!

    Wow yeah no im fucked. I was on zyprexa because i couldnt function in school and life because of health anxiety and bs and its been 5 months since i cut out the drug. Its genuinely getting bad now, the thing he talks about where you no longer recognize the effect of the toxin, i think it happened lol, ive genuienly been feeling unhealthy as shit, ive genuienely noticed a vibe shift in how my motivation works on getting back on the things i used to do. My brain just feels fucking weird like i have this weird urge to feel this broken version of that cofnitive load feeling you get when really thinking hard about a concept and my emotions come with this weird fucking urge too in some broken unnatural feeling state too. There might just be a chance that the reason why im fucked is this drugs withdrawal lol. Ive even seen it playing video games, like i genuienly cannot process the full enviroment, it feels like im playing on some tunnel to just survive playing a session with my friends, the joy feels weird as shit and unnatural as well. and i for example properly adapt to a situation.. Basically i live on the wave of my past accomplishment and it feels like im just surviving on that wave anymore without ability to get back on it, and it is this broken fucking unnatural emotions, unnatural anxiety ahh feeling that is preventing me, everything has become fucking meaningless and im also confused on what path i should take in life, my motivation seems arrificial, my growth mindset a compensation, it might be the drug lol, i might be screwed.

    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.

    Its a horrible drug. Just 1 pill and a rollercoaster started. I would of died or commited suicide ( i allmost did ) if taken it. It took me 5 years to feel myself again. 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?

If you haven't done it, please don't do it unless you have no better choice.

    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

    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.
