I think it might be fricking over for me, IST. My abdominal muscles are so atrophied that I basically have the core of an 85 year old.
It's fricked when professionals don't have bedside manners. My dentist chuckled about me being miserable to his pawg assistant even though I thought I was being cool with them. I am miserable.
imagine how good it feels for them to be smug like that
If I pulled out a gun and killed them for dehumanizing me it would be really funny
lmao. I thought Joker was an exaggeration but incels really think like this huh
He's your dentist, not your therapist. What did you expect, sympathy and a counselling session?
There's nothing wrong with expecting a professional to act professionally, you psychopath.
I didn't say anything to him about my mood or feelings or thoughts he just shit on me for being there
Huh? I don't have any oral health issues what gave you that idea?
Bedside manner is for pussies.
>completely abuse and neglect my body for literal decades
>omg why can't people just fawn over my poor decisions?
it's just the mark of a shitskin or shitskin-adjacent, you can see it in the replies to this post as this site is 50% pajeets
This guy
must be a shitskin if he doesn't know what a routine checkup w/ teeth cleaning is lmao he thinks you only go to the dentist if you're dying
When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I admitted to my orthodontist thanks to the meds that I was considering killing myself and couldn’t stop crying for like 15 minutes. All they said to my mom was that I got “a little emotional”.
I'm glad that I was too stingy to pay for meds or anaesthesia when I got my wisdom teeth removed.
I get it. I went to the hospital once over a decade ago and felt so humiliated I never wanted to go back, because I was at a very low point in my life and very depressed with chronic debilitating pain that made it impossible to work a normal job (I had been trying but recently quit because I was feeling suicidal every day), and the nurse basically acted snide and condescending for me being NEET. Once I told him I was unemployed, his demeanor changed and he made me feel like dirt. Bear in mind this was the first non-family social interaction I'd had in a while, so it had a major impact.
At the time I didn't understand why he did that, now I realize he was probably overworked and sleep-deprived, as most nurses are, and seething that he was working while I wasn't. Doesn't excuse his behavior or anything, but I understand and forgive him for it. Still, at the time, I was very young - 20 years old - and going through the lowest point in my life, so having an older "professional" I'd gone to in my time of need be cruel to me in my lowest moment really did some damage and made it difficult to trust anyone with my issues. For years after that I just assumed people were going to be cruel to me if I showed any vulnerability, so I avoided therapists and doctor visits. I don't want that to happen to you guys. If you meet an butthole, just let it roll off you. It's a problem with them, not a problem with you. They are supposed to act professionally, and if they don't, they are the ones in the wrong. Just keep trying. If you let pricks hinder you, you will never achieve anything in life, because the world is full of them.
Dentist asked anon to open up so he did 🙁
Just start lifting? Even if you're a young m*llennial you've still got time before your body starts breaking down
>m*llennial
ok Joomer
Right now they are starting me an exercise where I lay on my back and breath in to suck my abs back. I can't even do a single situp so I have to start at this level.
Jesus Christ man. You're gonna have to work hard, but you're gonna make it anon.
do you just rest on your spinal discs all day? wtf lmao
unreal to me that people like you actually exist, how do you even function in physical real time
Help from family and friends (lmao), copious amount of tylenol.
Jesus you're pathetic
>before your body starts breaking down
But it already has that's pretty much the subject of this thread dumbass.
>being purposefully obtuse
Just to weightest ab exercises I guess.
>mcgill big three (will quickly help with ur pain)
>hanging leg raises (start with knees)
>fulcrum/one side/lever deadlifts (start light)
>farmers carries
>just generally go outside for walks
Same here, breh. My back is all sorts of fricked and most abs exercises wreck my shit. This is what I do instead:
>mcgill big 3
>deadhangs & hanging L tucks
>trail walking with some sprinting thrown in. walking is amazing for your posture, just remember to brace.
I'm also an avid swimmer but my technique adapted to my weak-ass core so it does frick all in that regard. Your mileage might vary though.
It's fricking ridiculous how bad your shit can atrophy and how weak you can get, but conversely it's amazing how quickly you can recover. In 3 months or so you should be back to at least normie-levels of core strength.
Get well soon, at least you found this out and has a pro to look at it.
>My abdominal muscles are so atrophied that I basically have the core of an 85 year old.
And? do the exercises she prescribes you dumb homosexual, you already made the right decision by going to PT, go all the way now
No problem.
Start with planks and glute bridges for 15 seconds. Work them up to 2 minutes and most of your problems will be gone.
PTs are scammers. Especially the women.
chiropractors and personal trainers are scammers (usually), Physical Therapists are not (usually)
these are the people calling you roidtroonys, dyels and ozempigs on IST
Let me guess OP. Based WFH Chad programmer/software engineer?
That just means you can make massive gains in a short time frame, dumb shit. Start immediately.
I also sit at my computer all day, but do you literally never go walk outside or something?
doing deadlifts or front squats will hurt, you'll get doms like nothing else ever, but lifting will fix you.
I'd be kinda scared of actual back squats, if you're that weak you might injure yourself. Maybe do deads the first day, and introduce squats later?
Why did you do this to yourself you stupid homosexual?
So this is the power of >pc IST poster?
I think I stick to phone posting from my bed
