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".
As someone who has personally suffered from severe B-12 deficiency, it can be terrifying. Long term lack of B12 can cause skin sores (it looked like I had cold sores in/on my mouth, but I do not have the herpes simplex virus) and ultimately nerve ending death. I have permanently last some of my hand coordination and I can no longer feel the bottom pads of my feet. Don’t do drugs kids.
Can it actually lead to the kind of anxiety and personality change demonstrated in the post? (I have to ask, since the post is faked, but I’m wondering something like that could happen due to vitamin deficiency, rather than something like brain tumor or something.)
Not a writer but an avid reader and I can say you ABSOLUTELY can see when writers go through major life events. 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.
Man Patrick Sénégal went through some crazy shit then lmao. For those who don't know he's basically a French Canadian Stephen King. He wrote a parody of Alice in Wonderland where alive is actually in Montreal and ... Yea let's not for further.
I found the next line good to. "I stayed in touch with HIS mother-in-law" umm would that be her mom or the ex's old girlfriends mom. lol, Yes i know what was meant just found it funny.
He had enough money from his inheritance that he needed a prenup, that never came into play, BUT he couldn't buy his own RV? Really, I think that he was having affairs the whole time! The traveling, the arguments, the entitlement and his "better trip if You Weren't Here" !!! I think that maybe he drew up that prenup with an online format, no lawyer required😂!!! Yah I saw that OP had written the MIL correctly. But R reads so fast that he miss read it, I think that he did it earlier in this same video😢 (that never happens to me😂)
Yeah and if I was OP I would inform dear spouse that only I can drive the RV since it’s in my name and I’m the only driver reported on the insurance. He takes it without my consent, the cops will be called.
@@ahstiasummers5583 Possibly why he wanted separate finances too. You wouldn't necessarily need separate finances just because you have a pre-nup, although I suppose it could make things simpler in the even of divorce
I think him taking over his wife's RV is some kind of petty revenge. Everything was fine when he was the financial genius, and the wife wrote novels for pocket money. Now she's making enough money to buy an RV? That does strange things to some men.
@@spaceduck413I always kinda see separate finances in marriage as a red flag. Like you can have separate bank accounts but to divide everything as strictly this is my own and this is yours, to me is more like roommates.
D.A.R.V.O. Look it up. Definition. DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing use.
My eldest is vegan. She has never ever enjoyed meat...so she doesn't eat it. I, "nag" her at least every other month to make sure she is getting enough protein and taking her vitamins. She just graduated from university last week, so it via text and probably received with an eye roll and, "yes dad...."
@@cmanhanks1 This is my daughter: Three summers ago, we scattered my father's ashes at the family ranch surrounded by a lot of the extended family. It was a long day. My mom said that she would pay for dinner. So mom and I asked the kiddo where she wanted to eat, because she is vegan. She chose a steakhouse after looking at the menu online. After dinner I asked her, "Of all of the places you could have chose, why the steakhouse?" Her reply, "Everyone in the family eats meat and enjoys it. I saw that they had a nice vegan friendly salad. So I chose to go there." No. She is not crazy. She just doesn't like the taste of meat, and never has.
I’m vegetarian because I’ve never liked meat. I’m okay with eggs (cooked in very specific ways) and some dairy, but I just don’t like meat. I have to avoid unnecessary vitamins because of a kidney issue, so I can’t take a multivitamin or just take D3 or something just in case. So twice a year my doctor has me do bloodwork to check my iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. That way if any of them are low I can either work on getting more in my diet or take supplements for it. Then when it normalizes I stop taking the supplements to protect my kidneys. Assuming functional liver and kidneys, though, all vegans and veterinarians should take vitamin-D and B12 supplements and keep an eye on their iron (get it checked at least once a year).
No it wouldn't. Because she's vegan so she wouldn't eaten animal product to begin with. Secondly eating a simple egg salad sandwich would not be enough you would have to consistently be eating these day after day to get your B12 levels back up.
“Hot Firefighter Puts Out Fire In My Pants” 😂😂😂😂😂 Dude… if the RU-vid gig ever fails you have a back up career writing trashy hilarious romance novels!
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!
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
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
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.
you don't seem to know about the work of Chuck Tingle and the names of their books. "Hot firefighter puts out a fire in my pants" is tame in comparison
@@Shinito1991if it was Chuck Tingle it would be "The sexy gay sentient firehose puts the fire out of my ass after I accidentally caught on fire and turned gay"
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.
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.
Story 1: B12 deficiency is no joke. I'm not vegan or vegetarian and my B12 was so low that I was paranoid, had severe anxiety attacks. It can cause irreversible damage. I'm glad it was mentioned and she got that help.
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
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.
I will forever stand by this Outside of it being morally wrong, it makes your life so much harder to cheat on someone and just isn’t worth it It’s way easier to just end the relationship and move on
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 RU-vid feature that basically shows me comments before I watched the video) But if you are calling op a doofus then yeah, I agree.
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
@@jaebyrd4608pernicious anemia is in fact an autoimmune condition, however it's not uncommon for people to go through remission and flare up stages as far as I can tell
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: 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
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"
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.
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 =)
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 😭
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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Yeah, re: vitamin stuff, IDK if y'all experienced this after your wife had your kid, Dab, but my wife after both our son and our twins had some wicked hormonal stuff that like, totally warped her mind for a while. Not in a toxic way, thank God, but more like depression etc (postpartum stuff unfortunately). But that was the first time I saw how hormones and vitamins really can totally mess with your sense of self and sense of reality. My wife is an otherwise totally happy optimistic lovely human, and she would just be the most anxious, sleepless, on edge person for a bit. Luckily combination of time after postpartum plus a diagnosis of some vitamin deficiency helped with everything, but yeah, totally wild how our bodies react to fundamentally change our perception of reality and stuff after big changes (having kids/diet changes/etc).
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.
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
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.
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.
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....
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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)
Last story: when OP mentions she made a really good deal writing some kind of a collaboration and got a significant amount of money for doing her part, I immediately thought of the rumour that used to at one point surround a very famous romance novel writer, Danielle Steel. The rumour is of course that Danielle Steel is not only one person, but the authors differ from book to book.
That actually tracks considering how many books she puts out each year. I'd guess she comes up with the plots and edits the books but has a contracted writer put together the meat and potatoes of the book. I know a lot of famous authors do something like this. Patterson comes to mind - but he has the collab authors on the cover with him.
Last story: Oh... he's going to check in on his rental properties and evict someone. So he's a landlord, then? Anyone else find it completely unsurprising that he was a cheating parasite?
As a writer myself, the emotional state of a writer can be seen in the way they write sentences and paragraphs. While being upset in any form, the sentences will be simpler and shorter, and the paragraphs change topic from one paragraph to another quicker.
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.
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
Re: the last story. There is a romance/mystery series where the author of the series kills off the husband [wonderful person in earlier books], and then writes about a pair of women luring cheating husbands into trysts where they are robbed and left in humiliating situations. You can readily guess what happened to her.
Story 2: 1. Some travel expenses are/can be tax deductible. 2. Getting an agency to do it means money out of his pocket, and if I'm sizing up this guy right, that would probably be a major no for him.
okay, as a vegetarian who has B12 deficiency, i can ASSURE you it doesn’t work like that. i have to take B12 shots every month for the rest of my life (not because of my diet, mind you, since there is B12 in dark greens and other veggies, but because i have problems absorbing it orally. many people who eat meat have that problem too, like my mom, so yeah). and i did have depression and no will to do things when i wasn’t taking the shots, but most of my mental health problems come from my traumas in life and genetics. i never karen’d out. because that is NOT a symptom! i know everyone is different, but there’s no way her diet turned her into a Karen. that made me mad.
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!" 🙄
We KNEW that OP's RV obsessed husband was cheating! I knew it the instant he wanted to take the RV without OP...and THEN agreed but was angry because she ruined his plans! Personally I would NEVER marry anyone who insists on a prenup. NEVER go into a relationship planning on it ending!
Second story: good for OP not taking any nonsense from her cheating husband. Too many people undermine themselves and can’t just respond appropriately to the actions of the person betraying them.
1st story: That's why I ALWAYS check for the basic supplements on blood tests. I'm Vegetarian and Fructose Intolerant, and I always pay attention to deficits I might get. But heck, I wouldn't have thought it's THAT drastic... glad it was only a medical issue that's easily fixed though. Edit: Also, a simple peace of Bacon would not have fixed that ^^ You need to take it regular, and you need a specific level to be healthy. But yeah, check your blood if you're on specific diets! That also goes for people who prefer meat over vegetables, there are other things you could lack!
