    So, you're 23 and still living off your mom.

    This isn't as weird as it sounds. I'm 24 and still on my parents' insurance. Their insurance is much better than anything I can get right now through my university or the affordable care act. Relying on someone else's insurance doesn't mean you're living off them.
    uh... generally, people get jobs at 24 and have their own insurance. I'd love to have had that deal!

    I'm envious!

    I know right!! I was married with 2 kids and had bought a house by the time I turned 24.

    seriously, I had my own ad agency at that age...

    There's nothing wrong with being at school at 24. Typically people who go to grad school and pursue anything beyond a Bachelor's would still be in school at 24. I guess all doctor's and PhD's are looosers.
    I'm only graduating with my BA at 24. I took a year off before starting and took 4 classes and an extra grade-raising semester, resulting in a 5-year BA. I do plan on eventually doing a masters unless I get an amazingly awesome job that pays really well. So I'll be even older when I finish school.

    Job requirements have changed. Employers stupidly want excessive education that can easily be totally inapplicable to the actual tasks of the job, but I'm willing to do more schooling to get above entry-level work.

    There's nothing wrong with finishing a BA at 24 either. Cograts btw! I was just pointing out that still being at school at that point is not particularly odd.

    I'm at the end of page 14 and out of wine (I drank half the bottle reading this). The sad part is that I'm still mostly sober, and I'm not sure I can continue reading this hot mess. I mean, I'm sure I will because I've come too far, but daaaaaamn.

    Someone bring me more wine. Plz. I love you long time.
    you only get OJ for the vit C

    I have that in my fridge. And that doesn't mix well with the wine in mah bellah.

    I could take more of my gummy fiber vitamins too, but I don't want to run around my living room flailing my arms for 30 minutes either.

    Since you're being stingy as hell can you give me the 20 minutes of my life back? Also, the next time I make brownies I'm going to post hundreds of pictures and not share a damn crumb with you.

    It was different 20 years ago. Education wasn't as big of a deal back then.
    Living at home with mum and dad past the age of 20 wasn't considered much either. It was finish whatever grade you chose to at school, get a job and get out!
    America has college after high school, we do not. There's University, but I've met exactly one person in my life who has attended Uni and she's been there for 8 years :ohwell:

    People are saying something is seriously wrong because you refuse to take the obvious and reasonable steps to correct the problem, and instead latch on to weird measures like trying to eat more cereal.

    What would those steps be BESIDES taking an iron supplement? I've read about so many people who can't tolerate iron supplements so they don't take them. Do you think they just suffer from anemia? No, I'm sure they find a way through food.

    Iron injection...I can't figure why if you're so low and you can't have oral sup your doc has not suggested this. My MIL was severely anaemic and literally could not swallow a pill due to glands so she had regular injections to bring her iron back up.


    Ah I see this has been mentioned...

    This has been playing on my mind.

    OP - you say you've been out of school for a year because of this. Is this what you want your life to be? Living with your mom, not getting an education, all because of fears of a flippen' gummi-vitamin and a refusal to seek help or a logical solution?

    IF this is true, and I have my doubts, I don't think you're scared of the vitamin at all. You're scared of actually having to live an adult life. Right now, this gives you an excuse to not life as an adult, to not seek a career, to not have to grow up. And you have a comfy little crutch to blame it all on.

    But seriously - do you want to look back on your life and see how you failed to make anything of yourself, because of a completely fixable, easily solved iron deficiency? Seems like a pretty sad life to life, really.

    It's probably way too deep for OP.

    I wouldn't be surprised if OP is emetophobic. The aversion to any pills with nausea as a possible side effect and fear of food poisoning is very common with it (though aversion based on pure taste or texture is completely beyond me).

    I have been emetophobic for as long as I remember. Therapy wasn't enough. I needed medication, which of course I was afraid to take. Then my entire nervous system went haywire and I ended up with gastroparesis, which is nonstop nausea and vomiting. It forced me to face my fears a bit, and finally I decided the side effects of anxiety medication couldn't be any worse than the illness I was dealing with. So I took it. And it helped me more than I ever could have imagined. I'm still phobic, but I can talk myself through with CBT and function. Oh, and that medication is Zoloft. My thyroid is fine.

    TL:DR - buck up and take the damn pills. Take them in the waiting room of your doctor's office if it makes you feel better. You will have to break the cycle somewhere, but you also have to want to. I'm not sure if you're there yet.

    I guess she'll have to reach the bottom of the barrel before she finally does something.
