When a writer “finds god” the characters will suddenly find religion (Anne Rice), if they are trying for a baby, the fmc will get pregnant (SJM), if they go through a divorce the FMC will suddenly have every male after them (Laurel k Hamilton) ANY time characters suddenly start contradicting themselves or their behavior from previous books, take a look at what’s going on in the authors life and you can generally find a direct correlation.

regarding the RV fighting family: Back when I was first reading the first part of it, I'd bet he wants the RV because its more private than a hotel room and less of a paper trail. If he paid for a hotel room for 2 while his wife isn't there, then she would get suspicious (and there's the off chance that they'd call the house about anything after the hotel stay). I was not expecting it to be his ex!
Last story, seems like OP kept the family in the divorce too with how badly she took it, wouldn't be surprised if the MIL disowned him on top of that. That aside, it says so much about OP's ex that he saw how broken his own mother was over adultery when he was growing up, only to do it himself and try to apologize to his mother over the woman actually hurt by it.
Low b12 can also make your hair fall out and your body bruise worse too. People who take any of the stomach acid reducing medz or oral diabetes meds ate at risk as they make your body absorb less b12 from foods. My hubby and myself both were b12 low. Get the under tongue dissolving pills they get into your system better. It's the Methylcobalamin formula that your body uses best. But the vegan teacher is wackjob.
even if the story fake, b12 is what is used when our cells use glucose to make energy, i.e. its literally as necessary to live as eating every day. and if some tumors in the brain can change a persons personality, i think b12 deficiency also can, though im no doctor though afaik breads also can have b12 in them, though idk about american bread

I mean, that's basically the story of 5-Volt (a Smash Brothers/Wario Ware character), and 9-Volt's "origin story." Although it's never _actually_ told, because y'know, Nintendo isn't _that_ kind of company.
The gas and half the cost of any food you'd have to buy, plus anything like hookups/lot rental/etc. would be deductible if driving for business. That said, across the country it is still cheaper to fly. RVs aren't really known for good gas mileage.
The B-12 story from the beginning reminded me of an episode of House, the one where a girl with that rare condition that makes you unable to feel pain of any kind started acting extremely paranoid and crazy after a car accident. It turned out she had a 12 foot tape worm that was absorbing all the B-12 in her system, since she couldn't feel pain she wasn't getting the usual stomach aches such a huge tapeworm would normally cause which is why it was able to get so big.
As someone who loves diving into the realm of weird i actually just got done with a parasitology class and one of the cool things i learned is that the majority of people that have tape worms will never know cause they absorb such a small percent of our food and energy that you’d likely never know.
I remember an episode of "Untold Stories of the ER" where the patient was paranoid and hostile and kinda delusional, and it turned out to be a B12 deficiency.
Story 1: As a vegetarian and breastfeeding. When my hair started turning gray. I was getting waves of anxiety. After some research, it was a lack of B12. I started eating more dairy, eggs, and postpartum vitamins. My anxiety slowed down, and my hair went back to normal.
rSlash reads what happens when you don't take vitamins: Aww shit, did I take mine? I will go take mine. Don't wanna go insaine Probably made himself an egg salad too
About B12 deficiencies: just because there are a lot of foods that can give you vitamin B12, it doesn't mean your body is absorbing it properly. I'm one of those people who have pernicious anemia, which is a B12 deficiency. It doesn't matter how much I eat, my body will not absorb it even via a pill, so I have to take monthly injections of it. It's a very serious condition that's debilitating to me since I feel like a battery running out of juice. Both physically and emotionally.
@@madisongriffin3478 pernicious anemia is an autoimmune condition there is no off it can be treated to lessen the symptoms but the underlying condition always exists. I also have pernicious anemia and it sucks being tired and feeling like your walking with your head in the clouds trying to function and mine has worsened my ADHD

Story 1: Heard this one before. It's sad bc she is not into real hippie culture. She's having an identity crisis as well as a mental one. And it's affecting her family. Edit: nevermind yall the post is fake. What a doofus 💀
If you're calling yourself a doofus, don't blame yourself, a lot of people fall for this . (I didn't, only because of the new TH-cam feature that basically shows me comments before I watched the video) But if you are calling op a doofus then yeah, I agree.
That mom in the first story should have consulted a doctor before completely changing her diet. Also, animals don’t “produce” B-12. B-12 comes from bacteria and the only reason beef, for example, is so high in B-12 is from cows eating grass and subsequently licking dirt.
Doesn't really matter if they produce it or not, but I understand you don't want people to be misinformed. Afaik animal products are the highest food sources of b-12. I take a multi vitamin and a b12 supplement because I eat animal products rarely (like once a month max). I'm not a vegan but because of my eating habits it was a precaution I needed to take.
@@JamesDavy2009 I was pleasantly surprised to hear that so I went to the vegemite website. They have different varieties, so if you want the one that is fortified with B12 you need to check the label. It will help with b12 intake, but if you rely on it and don't take other sources of b12 you would need to eat a lot of it to meet the daily recommended intake. But maybe 4 servings of vegemite per day is normal to some people, lol. Taking a tiny tablet is easier. When I said food sources I did not mean fortified products, because if those are included in the criteria then I think a lot of mock meats and plant milks would apply as well. Btw I have never tried marmite or vegemite. I haven't avoided it on purpose, I just don't know anyone who buys it in the netherlands. I assume both are salty.
Story 1: What was she eating to get a severe B12 deficiency? A lot of vegan alternatives are supplemented with B12. Also you shouldn't be avoiding gluten unless you're an actual celiac
Story 1: Okay, so vitamin deficiency causes insanity, that's new to me. Honestly, if this all was because she wanted to fit in with a group of coworkers, then yeah probably don't do that. Edit: It's fake? Man… Edit2: The story is fake, I meant
Former vegan also: not only the vitamin D & B12 deficiency, but also if she's on a soy-based diet, she could (definitely, from what I'm reading) have an estrogen dominance, which I had due to having so much soy-based foods (like, half a block of tofu marinated in soy sauce) every single day, and the estrogen dominance made me absolutely crazy, sobbing and flipping out at dumb shit. Tic another box for "veganism is a privilege"
Story 1: Regardless of anything else OP's wife has, if her reaction towards her son's outburst was to cry and not do anything else, she is worthless in an emergency. Edit: Holy shit, don't skimp on the vitamin B12! Story 2: Okay, I'm calling it now: I hope OP drives off in her RV and leaves her husband. I'll edit again when the story finishes. Edit: Okay, not quite what I hoped, but still a great ending =)
I love how people claim how healthy and natural veganism is and then there are well documented cases of people literally going crazy because they don't eat animal products.
It's not natural, before the invention of dietary supplements it would not have been possible to be vegan and live a long and healthy life. There's also no ethnic/cultural group that is 100% vegan afaik. I take a multi vitamin supplement and a b12 supplement as a precaution because I eat animal products like once a month max.
A lack of vitamin B12 will do that to you. Here's an idea for the vegans: start eating Vegemite. It has a lot of B-group vitamins that a lot of Australians have been using.
@@JamesDavy2009 I would also recommend soy milk and nutritional yeast. Just like the vegemite variety that has B12 added (plus some other b vitamins) they are also fortified with B12. A lot of meat alternatives and some dairy alternatives have a bad reputation but they are convenient because many of them are fortified with the nutrients that are typically low in a vegan diet.
Some people actually can’t absorb B12, so not even food can help them! If you’re one of those people you need monthly B12 intramuscular injections (I know this bc my dad needed them)
That vitamin deficiency is no joke, my friend was so convinced that a vegan diet was self sustainable without supplements that her hardheadedness landed her in the hospital. Unfortunately she never mentally recovered and her persistent delusion costed her her life.
Last story- I’m so happy op dumped her ex’s ass. He’s just a pos. The last part when rSlash is stating his theories kinda spooked me cause I had the volume pretty loud. Was doing other stuff while paying attention and hearing I GET BACK AT MY CHEATING EX AND SLEEP WITH OTHER PEOPLE took me off guard 😭
@@Simipourfangirl you're aware vegans don't just eat salad and soy, right? There are so many meat and protein substitutes that are soy free and with all the added vitamins you need to function
I've been vegan for 4 years and completly healthy, you just need a minimum amount of knowledge of essential nutrients and eat balanced, it's not that hard. An omnivore diet can be equally bad for your health if umbalanced and most health issues due to poor diets doctors face nowadays are not due to veganism. Eating too much meat can lead to serious cardiovascular disease.
As someone who has a Vitamin D deficiency, lack of vitamins can mess you up. I was a depressed, mopey mess for like two months when I started forgetting to take my supplements. And a week after I started, my energy was back, I wasn't feeling like useless garbage, and I could actually exist again.
I have read the first story before and I kind of remembered several people saying the story was fake due to discrepancies with OP's account history and within this story. That said Humans have evolved to need certain vitamins, minerals and enzymes in our diets for our immune and central nervous systems to work properly. We get them from consuming animal products. These can be taken as supplements, but it's no where near as good as eating the foods themselves and of course are far far far more expensive. Some Vegans are starting to take a step back to vegetarianism and finding ethically sourced dairy products to get these vitamins and minerals.
B12 lady: I have no problem hanging out with older ladies, and the type of girls she was trying to befriend are usually the type to not care either. Which makes me think she was giving off SERIOUSLY weird/crazy vibes to them
I started listening to rslash a week into my first semester of college, 4 1/2 years later i finally graduated! thank you rslash for being part of my daily rituals my entire college career
Second OP probably added an AO3-esque author's note at the beginning of her story that was like "hey guys sorry for how long it took to publish this, my husband was going to cheat on me so i divorced him lol anyway heres the story" lmao
As a current vegan for the first story…YUP!!! This is why the SECOND I became vegan, supplemented instantly since I want this to be a big part of my life. I was also vegetarian first before going vegan. You’d be surprised as you saw. Vegans basically take multivitamins and vegan foods that have B12 in it naturally (nutritional yeast helps as well)
Story 1: It goes beyond B-12. It sounds like a manic disorder with borderline personality disorder. This can be mitigated with medication and therapy. However, there is no way to completely eliminate the symptoms.
I love how it is t even subtle how rslash‘s imagination of romance novels is just completely influenced by his probably massive intake of adult videos - probably while he is „researching“ his Reddit stories
Not even gonna lie, B12 deficiency is exactly why I eat eggs every morning! I had a horrible spiral for the exact same reason, it’s wild how a lack of vitamins can really mess with you
B12 isn't cured by just an egg salad sandwich. It drops and grows very gradually. So you would have to eat one very, very regularly to get enough. I don't eat a lot of meat due to issues, so I take b12 since it's clear I might not get enough
Last Story: Man i remember this story from YEARS ago but this is the first time i’ve seen the recent update. I’m glad Op is doing better and her cheating, POS Ex is miserable.
Story 2: Honestly, Tim would've had that affair if he didn't throw a big stink about not getting the RV, but he did, and it made him look suspicious, and OP found out. So yeah, he's both a cheater AND an idiot
2- TF! OP worked her butt off to buy that RV so she can travel while he's away, and he's acting like it's his new toy! Update- THAT CHEATING SO AND SO!
As a husband with a wife who owns specific stuff, I can say this: "She buys it. she uses it the most. I ask permission to use it, if not too bad." Same goes in reverse.... But wow... he actually went there with the RV. But I like to add this OP is a novelist and the 1st story is being said in the comments was "fake" So I am abit warry about it, but still... yeesh....
Story 1. Do not call the police on someone who is threatening suicide. You very well may put them at a higher risk. Police are not trained to handle mental health emergencies and have been known to escalate and mishandle them.
This might have been true historically, but not in the modern era (last 20 years minimum). The only real difference between erotica and romance today is in the story. Romance typically has more plot and a happy ending. Sex is frequent and often explicit, but if you removed it there would still be a complete story. In erotica, the story exists to provide a framing device for the sex. If you removed the sex, there usually wouldn't be enough story left to be worthwhile. There are some subgenres without sex, like Christian Romance, but those aren't mainstream. Even stuff like Harlequin has explicit sex in it.
Although the first story is probably fake, a b12 deficiency can indeed cause irritability, difficulty focusing, fatigue, and a boat load of other physical symptoms
The comments suggest that the Karen breakdown story is fake...HOWEVER... As a poor soul who has a B12 deficiency due to an inability to eat red meat, the lack of B12 genuinely does horrible things with your mind. Anxiety, depression, psychosis symptoms ... Crazy stuff.
How did she as a vegan not knownthat she needs to supplement B12 and D3? So many vegan channels are sponsored by supplement companies and almost always call our B12 and D3.
Ugh, the part about her replacing his music brings me back to my own childhood when my mother, who only listens to music made for 12 year old girls, forced that shit onto the entire family and would throw tantrums like a fucking toddler whenever any of us tried to listen to something that we liked, even if we were wearing headphones, which she would yank off of our heads because "I can still hear it!" 🙄
I'm glad the first story had a good update and I hope OP, his wife, and their son all take better care of themselves and possibly seek family counseling to work through any lingering issues and take time to take a family vacation and enjoy themselves.
First story-I heard a story once from someone I know in the mental health field about a patient who had been diagnosed with psychosis, depression, panic disorder, and several other things, but none of the treatments worked. They finally see my friend, who listens to their symptoms and asks “when’s the last time you had bloodwork done?” because this person’s symptoms were in line with a severe B12 deficiency. This patient had been bounced around with worsening symptoms for MONTHS. One IV later, they were fine.
Once the comment came in about vitamin D and B12 deficiencies having such adverse effects on a person, I knew I had heard this story before. It reminded me of a story on some current-affairs-style program I saw years ago with a slightly different but still relevant connection to this one, where this woman was incredibly weak and ill, to the point where her friends/carers (I don't remember which) had to feed her cooked fish because it was one of the few, if not only, things soft enough for her to eat. Guess what she had a severe intolerance or allergy to? She herself revealed a while later that she was intolerant to the fish she was being fed.
I also suffered from severe B12 deficiency. I still do suffer a bit but I can think so much more clearly and remember things better, have more energy and less negative emotions when I take the vitamins regularly. Ur brain in a fog and trying to learn anything is almost impossible.
Some of the complaints on the first story sound like OP just doesn't like his wife. "She refuses to eat gluten," like?? A vegan diet doesn't include gluten, so that checks out.
IIRC the first post was confirmed as fake due to discrepancies in OP's posting history. In this story he claims he’s from Puerto Rico and moved to NYC in 1984, while in another post OP claimed he was Pakistani living in London but born in France. Plus I don't know any Puerto Ricans that describe Hispanic or Latino teens as "spanish".
Puertorican here. No, we either say Puertorican, "Puertoriqueño" or Latino. Not spanish...
He also couldn't have moved to NYC in 1984 if he's 37, unless this was posted a few years ago. The math doesn't track.
@test-kf2zv the post is from 2016.
That part about him moving yo NYC in 1984 confused me, too. I wondered when OP made that post.
It _does_ sound more like a liberal caricature than a real person, so that makes sense to me.

Not heard of mums eating their babies because of B12 deficiency, think that sort of ppd would make international news 😂. Oh and the post is fake like most stories on Reddit. Someone checked the person's post history and they claimed to be a different nationality in other posts
At first I was wondering if that was why my dwarf hamsters all ate each other even though they had food, but I guess they just want to eat each other. Imagine coming home from school and 3.5 of your dwarf hamsters are just skeletons with some meat left and 1 just missing from the cage
The first story is fake lol. Op constantly lies about his ethnicity on his post history.
1 min he's Pakistani
The next he's a Puerto Rican
regarding the RV fighting family: Back when I was first reading the first part of it, I'd bet he wants the RV because its more private than a hotel room and less of a paper trail. If he paid for a hotel room for 2 while his wife isn't there, then she would get suspicious (and there's the off chance that they'd call the house about anything after the hotel stay). I was not expecting it to be his ex!
Last story, seems like OP kept the family in the divorce too with how badly she took it, wouldn't be surprised if the MIL disowned him on top of that. That aside, it says so much about OP's ex that he saw how broken his own mother was over adultery when he was growing up, only to do it himself and try to apologize to his mother over the woman actually hurt by it.

Wait so a lack of B12 can mess with your personality to this extent!? Maybe that vegan teacher actually isn’t that insane, but just lacks B12 lol
With 'toxic masculinity ' being thrown about like that, she's insane, and probably more than slightly mentally deficient
No shot. Story is most likely fake.
Low b12 can also make your hair fall out and your body bruise worse too.
People who take any of the stomach acid reducing medz or oral diabetes meds ate at risk as they make your body absorb less b12 from foods.
My hubby and myself both were b12 low. Get the under tongue dissolving pills they get into your system better. It's the Methylcobalamin formula that your body uses best.
But the vegan teacher is wackjob.
even if the story fake, b12 is what is used when our cells use glucose to make energy, i.e. its literally as necessary to live as eating every day. and if some tumors in the brain can change a persons personality, i think b12 deficiency also can, though im no doctor
though afaik breads also can have b12 in them, though idk about american bread

The B-12 story from the beginning reminded me of an episode of House, the one where a girl with that rare condition that makes you unable to feel pain of any kind started acting extremely paranoid and crazy after a car accident. It turned out she had a 12 foot tape worm that was absorbing all the B-12 in her system, since she couldn't feel pain she wasn't getting the usual stomach aches such a huge tapeworm would normally cause which is why it was able to get so big.
I remember this one! I went ". is this... a normal House ep? cuz wooww...... "
Oh yeah, the CIPA episode!
As someone who loves diving into the realm of weird i actually just got done with a parasitology class and one of the cool things i learned is that the majority of people that have tape worms will never know cause they absorb such a small percent of our food and energy that you’d likely never know.
That one seriously grossed me out
I remember an episode of "Untold Stories of the ER" where the patient was paranoid and hostile and kinda delusional, and it turned out to be a B12 deficiency.
Story 1: As a vegetarian and breastfeeding. When my hair started turning gray. I was getting waves of anxiety. After some research, it was a lack of B12. I started eating more dairy, eggs, and postpartum vitamins. My anxiety slowed down, and my hair went back to normal.
rSlash reads what happens when you don't take vitamins: Aww shit, did I take mine? I will go take mine. Don't wanna go insaine
Probably made himself an egg salad too
lol hopefully he gets those vitamins from a peer reviewed source or else they might just be literal garbage 😂
About B12 deficiencies: just because there are a lot of foods that can give you vitamin B12, it doesn't mean your body is absorbing it properly. I'm one of those people who have pernicious anemia, which is a B12 deficiency. It doesn't matter how much I eat, my body will not absorb it even via a pill, so I have to take monthly injections of it. It's a very serious condition that's debilitating to me since I feel like a battery running out of juice. Both physically and emotionally.
Exactly. I’ve had this on and off and it’s terrible. Affects your GI and memory too
My husband is going through investigations for this at the moment. He's not so good AT ALL at the moment
@@madisongriffin3478 pernicious anemia is an autoimmune condition there is no off it can be treated to lessen the symptoms but the underlying condition always exists.

@@HobieInTheBox yeah it is. And np
Well, at the very least we got some genuine info out of it.
TIL that B12 deficiency is one scary mf. xD
Fake? It was fake? How was this discovered?
That mom in the first story should have consulted a doctor before completely changing her diet. Also, animals don’t “produce” B-12. B-12 comes from bacteria and the only reason beef, for example, is so high in B-12 is from cows eating grass and subsequently licking dirt.
Doesn't really matter if they produce it or not, but I understand you don't want people to be misinformed. Afaik animal products are the highest food sources of b-12.
I take a multi vitamin and a b12 supplement because I eat animal products rarely (like once a month max). I'm not a vegan but because of my eating habits it was a precaution I needed to take.
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 Also, Vegemite.
@@JamesDavy2009 I was pleasantly surprised to hear that so I went to the vegemite website. They have different varieties, so if you want the one that is fortified with B12 you need to check the label. It will help with b12 intake, but if you rely on it and don't take other sources of b12 you would need to eat a lot of it to meet the daily recommended intake. But maybe 4 servings of vegemite per day is normal to some people, lol. Taking a tiny tablet is easier.
When I said food sources I did not mean fortified products, because if those are included in the criteria then I think a lot of mock meats and plant milks would apply as well.
Btw I have never tried marmite or vegemite. I haven't avoided it on purpose, I just don't know anyone who buys it in the netherlands.
I assume both are salty.
Story 1: What was she eating to get a severe B12 deficiency? A lot of vegan alternatives are supplemented with B12. Also you shouldn't be avoiding gluten unless you're an actual celiac
Story 1: Okay, so vitamin deficiency causes insanity, that's new to me. Honestly, if this all was because she wanted to fit in with a group of coworkers, then yeah probably don't do that.
Edit: It's fake? Man…
Edit2: The story is fake, I meant
Story 1: Confirmed to be fake since OP changed his race multiple times in multiple posts over the years ...
But the vitamin deficiencies causing health issues is true.
The story may be fake, but OP did their research into some of the neuropsychiatric manifestations that can occur with B12 deficiency
Vitamin deficiency CAN do this to you though. That IS true even if the story isn't.
@@asmith8692 Th deficiency can cause confusion, memory loss, etc, but it doesn't miraculously turn people into Karens.
Former vegan also: not only the vitamin D & B12 deficiency, but also if she's on a soy-based diet, she could (definitely, from what I'm reading) have an estrogen dominance, which I had due to having so much soy-based foods (like, half a block of tofu marinated in soy sauce) every single day, and the estrogen dominance made me absolutely crazy, sobbing and flipping out at dumb shit. Tic another box for "veganism is a privilege"
Last Story: I truly hope that OP's life events show up in her writing. Must be one cathartic read! ❤😂
Story 1: Regardless of anything else OP's wife has, if her reaction towards her son's outburst was to cry and not do anything else, she is worthless in an emergency.
Edit: Holy shit, don't skimp on the vitamin B12!
Story 2: Okay, I'm calling it now: I hope OP drives off in her RV and leaves her husband. I'll edit again when the story finishes.
Edit: Okay, not quite what I hoped, but still a great ending =)
Story 2: "You sign teh preenup to protect mah moneys butt ur stuff iz all mine." What a POS.
After the update: And a stupid one too.
I love how people claim how healthy and natural veganism is and then there are well documented cases of people literally going crazy because they don't eat animal products.
It's not natural, before the invention of dietary supplements it would not have been possible to be vegan and live a long and healthy life.
There's also no ethnic/cultural group that is 100% vegan afaik.
I take a multi vitamin supplement and a b12 supplement as a precaution because I eat animal products like once a month max.
A lack of vitamin B12 will do that to you. Here's an idea for the vegans: start eating Vegemite. It has a lot of B-group vitamins that a lot of Australians have been using.
@@JamesDavy2009 I would also recommend soy milk and nutritional yeast. Just like the vegemite variety that has B12 added (plus some other b vitamins) they are also fortified with B12.
A lot of meat alternatives and some dairy alternatives have a bad reputation but they are convenient because many of them are fortified with the nutrients that are typically low in a vegan diet.
Some people actually can’t absorb B12, so not even food can help them! If you’re one of those people you need monthly B12 intramuscular injections (I know this bc my dad needed them)
That vitamin deficiency is no joke, my friend was so convinced that a vegan diet was self sustainable without supplements that her hardheadedness landed her in the hospital. Unfortunately she never mentally recovered and her persistent delusion costed her her life.
I think OP confused words. He said hippie but I think he means hipster. A hippie would love movies with drugs and partying 🤣

Was doing other stuff while paying attention and hearing I GET BACK AT MY CHEATING EX AND SLEEP WITH OTHER PEOPLE took me off guard 😭
Well, if I needed a reason to never become a vegan, that is it.
I could never be vegan. I couldn't eat only salads, and soy based products always upset my stomach.
@@Simipourfangirl you're aware vegans don't just eat salad and soy, right? There are so many meat and protein substitutes that are soy free and with all the added vitamins you need to function
Story 1: If there was ever a story to tell kids about eating everything in their plate, is this one. Never go full vegan.
I've been vegan for 4 years and completly healthy, you just need a minimum amount of knowledge of essential nutrients and eat balanced, it's not that hard. An omnivore diet can be equally bad for your health if umbalanced and most health issues due to poor diets doctors face nowadays are not due to veganism. Eating too much meat can lead to serious cardiovascular disease.
That story with the RV: Even if there hadn't been cheating going on, split assets means that RV is hers and only hers.
Even if the first story is fake, it was at least interesting.
As someone who has a Vitamin D deficiency, lack of vitamins can mess you up. I was a depressed, mopey mess for like two months when I started forgetting to take my supplements. And a week after I started, my energy was back, I wasn't feeling like useless garbage, and I could actually exist again.
Story 1; Curing B12 deficiency requires shots. Bacon wouldn't have helped her much lol
1st story sounds like a snickers ad.
“You’re not you when you’re hungry”
LOOK, up in the HOA, it's SUPER KAREN!
DC might get some ideas…
@@JamesDavy2009 There's already a movie called "A Christmas Karen".
I have read the first story before and I kind of remembered several people saying the story was fake due to discrepancies with OP's account history and within this story. That said Humans have evolved to need certain vitamins, minerals and enzymes in our diets for our immune and central nervous systems to work properly. We get them from consuming animal products. These can be taken as supplements, but it's no where near as good as eating the foods themselves and of course are far far far more expensive. Some Vegans are starting to take a step back to vegetarianism and finding ethically sourced dairy products to get these vitamins and minerals.
With the cost of living in orbit, I agree.
9:09 moments like these is what makes watching rslash better than listening to bots read these stories. Dabney makes these feel so much more human.
“Come back to me”

B12 lady: I have no problem hanging out with older ladies, and the type of girls she was trying to befriend are usually the type to not care either. Which makes me think she was giving off SERIOUSLY weird/crazy vibes to them
B-12 deficiency might be the secret pandemic we don't know is happening....

Second OP probably added an AO3-esque author's note at the beginning of her story that was like "hey guys sorry for how long it took to publish this, my husband was going to cheat on me so i divorced him lol anyway heres the story" lmao
was just thinking this LMAO
ao3 in particular tends to have insane footnotes of the author's recent life events
It's low-key my favourite ao3 part
As a current vegan for the first story…YUP!!! This is why the SECOND I became vegan, supplemented instantly since I want this to be a big part of my life. I was also vegetarian first before going vegan. You’d be surprised as you saw. Vegans basically take multivitamins and vegan foods that have B12 in it naturally (nutritional yeast helps as well)
Story 1: It goes beyond B-12. It sounds like a manic disorder with borderline personality disorder. This can be mitigated with medication and therapy. However, there is no way to completely eliminate the symptoms.
I love how it is t even subtle how rslash‘s imagination of romance novels is just completely influenced by his probably massive intake of adult videos - probably while he is „researching“ his Reddit stories
Not even gonna lie, B12 deficiency is exactly why I eat eggs every morning!
I had a horrible spiral for the exact same reason, it’s wild how a lack of vitamins can really mess with you
It's time for the Yanks to start being happy little Vegemites.
B12 isn't cured by just an egg salad sandwich. It drops and grows very gradually. So you would have to eat one very, very regularly to get enough.
I don't eat a lot of meat due to issues, so I take b12 since it's clear I might not get enough
Try a bit of Vegemite with your meal. It has a lot of B vitamins.
@@JamesDavy2009 I actually love vegemite and marmite

As a husband with a wife who owns specific stuff, I can say this:
"She buys it. she uses it the most. I ask permission to use it, if not too bad."
Same goes in reverse....

So I am abit warry about it, but still... yeesh....
Story 1. Do not call the police on someone who is threatening suicide. You very well may put them at a higher risk. Police are not trained to handle mental health emergencies and have been known to escalate and mishandle them.
Rslash "I don't know anything about romance novels"
Man it shows!! The books you're describing are Erotica, they're a different genre 😂
This might have been true historically, but not in the modern era (last 20 years minimum). The only real difference between erotica and romance today is in the story. Romance typically has more plot and a happy ending. Sex is frequent and often explicit, but if you removed it there would still be a complete story. In erotica, the story exists to provide a framing device for the sex. If you removed the sex, there usually wouldn't be enough story left to be worthwhile. There are some subgenres without sex, like Christian Romance, but those aren't mainstream. Even stuff like Harlequin has explicit sex in it.
Just an fyi, my sugar free monster energy drink has 450% of your daily B12 needs.

The comments suggest that the Karen breakdown story is fake...HOWEVER... As a poor soul who has a B12 deficiency due to an inability to eat red meat, the lack of B12 genuinely does horrible things with your mind. Anxiety, depression, psychosis symptoms ... Crazy stuff.
How did she as a vegan not knownthat she needs to supplement B12 and D3? So many vegan channels are sponsored by supplement companies and almost always call our B12 and D3.
Fr, like needing B12 is like the most basic vegan knowledge
because the story is fake. op has inconsistent post history where in a different post he claims to be pakistani born in france but living in the uk
For the story about the crazy vegan that needed b12. Literally the epitome of "you're not you when you're hungry"
So the takeaway here is…when someone’s vegan, being crazy is a feature, not a bug. (/s) 😂
Ugh, the part about her replacing his music brings me back to my own childhood when my mother, who only listens to music made for 12 year old girls, forced that shit onto the entire family and would throw tantrums like a fucking toddler whenever any of us tried to listen to something that we liked, even if we were wearing headphones, which she would yank off of our heads because "I can still hear it!" 🙄
Is forcing a child to listen to Mackelmore a form of abuse? Because it should be
I'm glad the first story had a good update and I hope OP, his wife, and their son all take better care of themselves and possibly seek family counseling to work through any lingering issues and take time to take a family vacation and enjoy themselves.

First story-I heard a story once from someone I know in the mental health field about a patient who had been diagnosed with psychosis, depression, panic disorder, and several other things, but none of the treatments worked. They finally see my friend, who listens to their symptoms and asks “when’s the last time you had bloodwork done?” because this person’s symptoms were in line with a severe B12 deficiency.
This patient had been bounced around with worsening symptoms for MONTHS. One IV later, they were fine.

Last story: Yeah, knew he was cheating.
Once the comment came in about vitamin D and B12 deficiencies having such adverse effects on a person, I knew I had heard this story before. It reminded me of a story on some current-affairs-style program I saw years ago with a slightly different but still relevant connection to this one, where this woman was incredibly weak and ill, to the point where her friends/carers (I don't remember which) had to feed her cooked fish because it was one of the few, if not only, things soft enough for her to eat.
Guess what she had a severe intolerance or allergy to?
She herself revealed a while later that she was intolerant to the fish she was being fed.
I also suffered from severe B12 deficiency. I still do suffer a bit but I can think so much more clearly and remember things better, have more energy and less negative emotions when I take the vitamins regularly. Ur brain in a fog and trying to learn anything is almost impossible.
Story 1. Grew up around hippies, can confirm that is karen energy- not hippy.
Some of the complaints on the first story sound like OP just doesn't like his wife. "She refuses to eat gluten," like?? A vegan diet doesn't include gluten, so that checks out.
