    Oh they apparently didn’t experience the real diarrhea shitting, it’s so Zen when your body wants to turn itself inside out for so long that you don’t feel anything anymore. And the feeling after it as if you were raped with a continent. So Zen.

      Depends how drunk and how violently I’m vomiting, really. At some point I just need all the support I can get… You’re not gonna die from touching some old pee.

      Normally? No

      When I had E. Coli last year? Yes. And when I got too weak to do that I slumped over the bowl almost kissing the porcelain, absolutely disgusting but it was that or…

      When I got to weak for that I flipped onto the floor and spiritually connected with mankind from years past cuz holy shit do I understand how diarrhea killed people now

      If it’s my own toilet it’s probably one of the most sanitised places I can put my hands

      (I’m very hygienic when it comes to my toilet, it gets sprayed with disinfectant several times a day)

      I keep the seat down and hover depending on the velocity. If it’s gonna return fire, I’ll use the seat for support.

      I forgot to mention in my other mess of a comment, but just in case you don’t know: a lot of times you can get Ensure prescribed and covered by insurance. IIRC there’s Gatorade-like electrolyte drink options you may be able to get covered, too. It might help free up some money for other things

        I don’t think our insurance would do that because UHC doesn’t tend to do that sort of thing, but I guess it’s worth checking.

      As someone with chronic idiopathic hyperemesis, this is a mood.

      I vomit too often and for too long to find anything zen about it. I spend the entire time heaving anxiously worrying over the state of my tooth enamel and trying to remember if I ate beets or chocolate last night to explain that colour or if I need to call an ambulance.

      I vomit while using my phone. I’ll play a podcast, video, music, etc

      If I’m going to be heaving for 20 minutes 2-4 times a day every day for a few months, I’m not doing it in silence with my own thoughts.

      I’ve been dealing with this on and off for about 7 years now, twice a year I’ll just have a 1-2 months straight where I can’t keep anything down, not even water unless I’m vigilant about stretching out my water intake over a whole day one tiny sip at a time. Then just as suddenly as it starts, one day I’ll wake up and I just magically won’t feel nauseous, and it’s like I was never even sick!

      Because it goes away on its own I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it. When it starts happening, I book in with a doctor, by the time I finally see the doctor, the “flare up” has passed and any tests the doctor runs when I’m not sick are always normal. So doctors will just blame my migraine disorder for it, and move on. I recently learned about Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome so that’s something I’m going to be talking to my doctor about when I see him next.

      I read your post and can’t help but notice that you haven’t tried a steady diet of calamari.

      But seriously, I’ve never read or heard about anything like that, and it sounds like utter hell. I hope you’re able to find relief soon.

        Thanks, I appreciate it!

        And although it is true that squid eat other squid, I’m all about solidarity with my cephalopod kin! Except nautili. Those guys are assholes.

    I mean in the olden days shitting was that time when you could really engage with the ingredients of that shampoo bottle. Or, you know, books and newspapers. Reading while shitting is probably common since both exist.

      here in sweden almost everything has translations in the other nordic languages, and school toilets have heating elements, so before phones it was universal that all students ended up learning “ei sa peitää” which means “do not cover” in finnish

    Smoking is up there. Just close your eyes, atomize the world in front of you, and draw it in through the small, paper tube. Open your eyes and exhale a bit of yourself back into the world.

    “Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.“ - James Crumley

      Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink when he drives; he’s afraid he’ll crash, and a fearful driver is a dangerous driver.

    You can tell they’re normal because they don’t know what gooning is.

    I’m sorry for anyone that has eyes right now.
