Bill, in all seriousness, I don't think you should be giving advice on a forum like this full of vulnerable people.
I believe that your advice is poisoning people's minds and is setting them up for making their T louder (as opposed to actually healing, which is completely possible in most cases, provided one is able to avoid noises). Either you caused your T to become permanent, or you were unlucky and it became permanent through no fault of yours. The problem is that now you are (consciously or unconsciously) trying to get more people to become as sick as you. You are doing that by telling them not to worry about noises that almost every day people here are reporting are giving them serious spikes that slow down or end their healing.
I still remember your suicide thread, where you wanted to discuss the best ways for people to kill themselves.
There is nothing worse than wanting to commit suicide and not having the means to do it (or botching it and ending up having even more problems). If you think that suicide can't become the best option one has, then we have nothing to talk about. I am not interested in your religious beliefs.
I'm glad you wasn't around when I signed up (and was at my worst) because posts like yours may have done some real damage.
I am glad I didn't read your posts encouraging insanity when I signed up. Posts like yours have the potential to literally make T permanently worse. Now what?!
I really feel for you because you obviously need serious help beyond what a forum can provide, and I really wish you would step out of your house to seek it.
I am the last person you need to worry about. I will worry about my well being and you can worry about the well being of your daughter.
The sound a fridge makes, and a door slamming, or example, is not dangerous
This is like saying "being tickled with a feather and being shot in the head are both safe." A fridge is quiet. On three occasions, I experienced spikes following doors slamming. These spikes lasted between three days and something like ten days. I am convinced that we have a limited number of second chances. Get enough of these spikes and you will begin seeing some permanent consequences.
You are going to give people some serious phobias
It is good to be scared of scary things that can irreversibly change your life forever (and turn it into a never-ending nightmare) in a matter of seconds. You can ignore reality, but reality is not going to ignore you (nor will you be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality).
It's toxic advice that can spread quickly through a community
In my opinion, the above applies to you. Now what?
Also, urging people to risk their life, and the lives of others by removing batteries from alarms is also wrong on so many levels.
If you read my posts carefully, you will see that I just made them aware of that option. In this case, it is very clear what the pros and cons corresponding to each of the choices. Nobody is being deceived into doing anything that is not consistent with their preferences and beliefs.
Please seek real help before I go.
No.
