00:00 - 0:00:14 [Music]
0:00:14 – 0:00:17 Hello and welcome to the diversion.
0:00:17 – 0:00:21 Where I occasionally deviate from the subject.
0:00:21 – 0:00:23 Hmm.
0:00:23 – 0:00:33 Today's theme is inspired by a video I saw of the Carina Push on TikTok.
0:00:33 – 0:00:42 That was kind of a third-party exploitation of a stream, what they did,
0:00:42 – 0:00:51 a video about toxic masculinity, suicide and many other topics.
0:00:51 – 0:00:55 femicide.
0:00:55 – 0:01:01 I didn't watch the entire video, just the TikTok and
0:01:01 – 0:01:06 Yes, there were a few questions left unanswered.
0:01:06 – 0:01:11 She looked at this together with Freiraum Re,
0:01:11 – 0:01:18 A woman on the move in this phenomism bubble
0:01:18 – 0:01:27 and at that time was also fat with a streamer Sojoka,
0:01:27 – 0:01:40 which also has phenemistic content and has topics such as violence against women and femicide.
0:01:40 – 0:01:51 I was quite surprised by the comments in this video.
0:01:51 – 0:01:59 because otherwise I'm Carina Pusch as someone who is extremely reflective,
0:01:59 – 0:02:09 I've always watched and watched her videos about Pride Month.
0:02:09 – 0:02:19 then had their discussion with ApoRed and then had also reported on other topics,
0:02:19 – 0:02:24 which were up-to-date in this YouTube streamer scene,
0:02:24 – 0:02:31 It was always about assaults by men on women.
0:02:31 – 0:02:41 This was all discussed in the format "limit value" in the podcasts with MTC,
0:02:41 – 0:02:45 What happened there and she made really good videos for it,
0:02:45 – 0:02:49 which were really covered with sources, where I also thought so,
0:02:49 – 0:02:54 Hey, that's really good what she's doing.
0:02:54 – 0:03:02 But in this video, in this livestream, I really liked a few things where I thought,
0:03:02 – 0:03:05 No, I can't do that.
0:03:05 – 0:03:15 Because there are such statements as that even men choose the more radical methods when they commit suicide.
0:03:15 – 0:03:28 and which are more effective, such as shooting safely, hanging or jumping in front of a bus or jumping in front of a train
0:03:28 – 0:03:35 And that they always involve the guilty.
0:03:35 – 0:03:43 That may be, the statistics clearly show that men choose safe methods like women.
0:03:43 – 0:03:52 Women prefer to take pills or get poisoned elsewhere.
0:03:52 – 0:04:04 But in such a way that death has a more pleasant form than hanging or shooting yourself or throwing yourself in front of a train.
0:04:04 – 0:04:12 What I have felt so extremely strange and also as crass,
0:04:12 – 0:04:23 As Freiraum Reh said, of course, that even men hurt women.
0:04:23 – 0:04:35 And I find that the aspect of someone committing suicide in an absolute emergency situation,
0:04:35 – 0:04:46 this is an absolute exceptional situation and then does not necessarily always act carefully.
0:04:46 – 0:04:51 Of course, there are also often suicide attempts, which are more or less just a cry for help.
0:04:51 – 0:04:58 and where it is then put on the fact that one is still found in time.
0:04:58 – 0:05:05 But there are also those who are successful without much announcement, without anything being left behind.
0:05:05 – 0:05:12 And these are exceptional situations in which this person finds himself.
0:05:12 – 0:05:17 And I find it extremely reprehensible to then still judge,
0:05:17 – 0:05:23 A woman's suicide has a different value than a man's suicide.
0:05:23 – 0:05:31 I mean, we're talking about people who want to take their own lives or take their own lives.
0:05:31 – 0:05:41 And that's one thing I've been thinking about for two or three weeks now, and I've been asking myself,
0:05:41 – 0:05:47 Do you want to talk about it or something? Yeah, I'm talking about that now.
0:05:47 – 0:05:52 I don't want to start here, be the big statistician here,
0:05:52 – 0:06:03 But women are more likely to be helped if they are in a depression like men.
0:06:03 – 0:06:07 They are more likely to go to the doctor, they are more able to talk about it.
0:06:07 – 0:06:13 That there is this depressive mood or depressive episode.
0:06:13 – 0:06:19 Or again, a recurrent depressive episode.
0:06:19 – 0:06:25 Men are generally bad doctors.
0:06:25 – 0:06:30 So you usually go to the family doctor first, talk about it and he says,
0:06:30 – 0:06:40 You, I'll get you a transfer. Ideally, some family doctors will also try to treat it with the antidepressants.
0:06:40 – 0:06:50 What I feel is totally reprehensible because depression is a potentially deadly condition.
0:06:50 – 0:06:55 Even if that doesn't seem like it at first, it can lead to death.
0:06:55 – 0:07:05 And there should already be people who are off the shelf. They are psychiatrists, specialists in psychiatry.
0:07:05 – 0:07:10 However, women are more capable than men.
0:07:10 – 0:07:17 Luckily, I was raised to be very communicative, otherwise I wouldn't do all the podcast projects.
0:07:17 – 0:07:22 I also learned to talk about my feelings.
0:07:22 – 0:07:29 I'm not so grateful to my parents for not showing me such a toxic male image.
0:07:29 – 0:07:38 But that you just talk about it and that you've been taught that it's okay if you're sad, that you're crying too.
0:07:38 – 0:07:43 I had had a period in my life when I was so depressed that I couldn't cry.
0:07:43 – 0:07:52 I was actually envious of people who can cry because crying is a great outlet for getting rid of emotions.
0:07:52 – 0:08:03 Yes, in any case, I have just in my depressive phase, which really went five years and I had several hospital stays,
0:08:03 – 0:08:18 Sometimes it took me more than 12 weeks, I was able to seek help, accept help and learn a lot about myself.
0:08:18 – 0:08:25 I mean, that all ended up later in a borderline diagnosis, which I had to fight for a lot, by the way,
0:08:25 – 0:08:34 Because I've had a lot of other diagnoses around my ears, but I've never really found myself there.
0:08:34 – 0:08:44 You have to say that I had always been someone who was very well read and I was also interested in the topic,
0:08:44 – 0:08:58 As far as psychics are concerned, otherwise I would not have studied psychology until a few years ago, as a second and third degree.
0:08:58 – 0:09:07 Yeah, now I'm back again. In any case, I have not found myself in this diagnosis, which they have called me
0:09:07 – 0:09:15 And then I kept saying, no, I don't see myself there, I feel more drawn to it.
0:09:15 – 0:09:23 And I was also told that I had read the symptoms until I was in a psychosomatic rehab.
0:09:23 – 0:09:30 And they said, no, that's clearly Borderline, what they have.
0:09:30 – 0:09:45 I am grateful that I was able to communicate this and that my suicide attempts were such that they were not successful, otherwise I would not be here today.
0:09:45 – 0:09:57 Of course, I could have looked forward to life events such as stroke, but this gave me the opportunity and the time to start studying again.
0:09:57 – 0:10:14 I was able to go and start these projects, the blog, the podcast and that I have the time to live my life like this,
0:10:14 – 0:10:19 Even though I am now financially extremely miserable.
0:10:19 – 0:10:29 But this is another topic, which I have also discussed before, in a different format, most likely in borderline.
0:10:29 – 0:10:38 Welcome back to the podcast, to the video of Carina Pusch and Freiraum Reh.
0:10:38 – 0:10:51 I've seen the video several times now, I'll pack it in the show notes below and I'm just as shocked every time,
0:10:51 – 0:11:02 In fact, it's the suicide of a man who's still being misrepresented.
0:11:02 – 0:11:15 I mean, if someone goes there and deliberately drives the car on the highway wrong, so that he is a ghost driver and then puts other people at risk,
0:11:15 – 0:11:18 Then that's not all right.
0:11:18 – 0:11:34 If the person begins assisted suicide, and I don't mean euthanasia, but stop, let's say, he takes hostage and pretends to be shot in the process,
0:11:34 – 0:11:44 then this is also dramatic, because other people are affected and are most likely also affected in their mental health.
0:11:44 – 0:11:48 However, these are exceptions.
0:11:48 – 0:11:57 I can still remember that I had a fellow patient who was a caregiver himself, just like me, we talked.
0:11:57 – 0:12:05 And he didn't give me the impression that he wanted to do anything to himself.
0:12:05 – 0:12:21 And he just had insulin at home because he and his wife were both diabetic, and then he killed himself with the insulin.
0:12:21 – 0:12:28 Yes, of course I was shocked because we were jokingly talking about it in our conversation.
0:12:28 – 0:12:36 For a long time I was also responsible for the fact that I put him on the idea for the first time.
0:12:36 – 0:12:46 And I also did not let myself be told, due to his nursing activities, that he came up with the idea himself.
0:12:46 – 0:12:50 I felt guilty for myself for a long time.
0:12:50 – 0:12:58 And then you realize on your own that it's a suicide of a person and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman.
0:12:58 – 0:13:09 I can understand that we live in a masculine world where the position of the belt is made after a man,
0:13:09 – 0:13:17 where the room temperature in large offices is calculated according to a formula for an average man and his heat demand,
0:13:17 – 0:13:24 Medications are only tested on men because they don't have a cycle.
0:13:24 – 0:13:35 And with many other things, that it is always on man or if it is then times for a woman, then a small man is taken.
0:13:35 – 0:13:41 Yes, we have a world where it's mostly about men.
0:13:41 – 0:13:50 But without women, humanity will not exist and I have not only been educated communicatively,
0:13:50 – 0:13:59 But also in the knowledge and belief that men and women are equal.
0:13:59 – 0:14:07 Of course, there are certain differences in thinking and acting and also in biology.
0:14:07 – 0:14:14 But on the whole and bottom line, men and women are equal.
0:14:14 – 0:14:18 My parents taught me that.
0:14:18 – 0:14:27 There have been many conversations about the fact that there is a gender cup when it comes to pay.
0:14:27 – 0:14:38 On average, women earn 20 percent less than men in the same job, under the same conditions.
0:14:38 – 0:14:44 And that this is always justified. You could get pregnant.
0:14:44 – 0:14:52 I know from an aunt of mine who is highly qualified that the long time had a problem finding a job,
0:14:52 – 0:15:03 because old, white men had problems with a young woman who is more qualified than she is being able to take her job away.
0:15:03 – 0:15:06 I know all about these problems.
0:15:06 – 0:15:11 But my education and my reality of life is different.
0:15:11 – 0:15:15 For example, I'm doing the budget here.
0:15:15 – 0:15:21 My girlfriend supports me in this. She does other things for that.
0:15:21 – 0:15:27 She goes shopping for it, which I can't do now due to my disability from my stroke.
0:15:27 – 0:15:32 She then helps me with other activities here in the household.
0:15:32 – 0:15:38 But most of it, like cooking food, doing laundry, that's what I do.
0:15:38 – 0:15:41 She carries the laundry from the washing machine to the clothesline.
0:15:41 – 0:15:44 Then I'll sit down and hang her up.
0:15:44 – 0:15:47 This is a give and take.
0:15:47 – 0:15:52 It's not like I'm thinking, oh God, I'm doing all this alone, oh God, oh.
0:15:52 – 0:16:01 But we are there on an equal footing and we respect our limitations and weaknesses,
0:16:01 – 0:16:05 On the other hand, we accept the strengths.
0:16:05 – 0:16:17 That's one thing where I always think, what must these people or these women have experienced,
0:16:17 – 0:16:24 It's so feminist that it's almost militant.
0:16:24 – 0:16:29 This is the equivalent of the militant vegan,
0:16:29 – 0:16:38 which in the most extreme way tries to impose its veganism in the world
0:16:38 – 0:16:45 and really chooses methods that are not socially accepted,
0:16:45 – 0:16:49 It's more of a borderline.
0:16:49 – 0:16:56 And that's exactly what makes the space, i.e. the woman Freiraum-Re.
0:16:56 – 0:17:01 It can't be that all the worse in the world,
0:17:01 – 0:17:06 All the displeasure she has, it's all projected onto men,
0:17:06 – 0:17:14 that in a situation where there is a man and sees no other way out,
0:17:14 – 0:17:17 to end the suffering with his suicide.
0:17:17 – 0:17:22 I wonder where is the empathy?
0:17:22 – 0:17:26 Where is humanity?
0:17:26 – 0:17:35 Yes, I could talk in rage for hours and think about it.
0:17:35 – 0:17:44 I think it's fantastic that Carina Pusch and also Freiraum-Re were in Brussels,
0:17:44 – 0:17:51 have stood up for women's rights in the European Union at the Parliament and there,
0:17:51 – 0:17:54 Because we still have a lot to do.
0:17:54 – 0:18:02 We are there at the very beginning, that there is always a reconnaissance work,
0:18:02 – 0:18:09 where there are still weaknesses in our system as far as women's rights are concerned.
0:18:09 – 0:18:16 As well as explaining that rape in marriage
0:18:16 – 0:18:23 until a few years ago was still impunity and that certain CDU deputies,
0:18:23 – 0:18:31 but also FDP deputies and candidates for chancellor have insisted,
0:18:31 – 0:18:34 Rape in marriage is not a crime.
0:18:34 – 0:18:41 By the end of the 1970s, the woman had to ask her husband if she could go to work.
0:18:41 – 0:18:44 And if he said, "No," that was enough.
0:18:44 – 0:18:49 That he called at work and said my wife isn't coming to work anymore.
0:18:49 – 0:18:55 My mother, if my father had done that, she would have packed her bag and run away.
0:18:55 – 0:18:59 My mother is anything but a feminist.
0:18:59 – 0:19:06 My mother actually still has a relatively traditional family image,
0:19:06 – 0:19:10 What she has in her head, what a woman must be able to do.
0:19:10 – 0:19:17 Nevertheless, I have been raised with the fact that man and woman are equal.
0:19:17 – 0:19:23 But I believe that the demands that she makes on herself, she also has on other people.
0:19:23 – 0:19:30 Just as a young man has to deal with a drill and also knows how to paint walls,
0:19:30 – 0:19:37 So she also expects a woman to be orderly and clean.
0:19:37 – 0:19:43 When I look around in my circle of acquaintances, sometimes that's just not the case.
0:19:43 – 0:19:48 And there it is the men who are more orderly and purer than the women.
0:19:48 – 0:19:53 And on the other hand, you have women who are so skilled in craftsmanship,
0:19:53 – 0:20:00 The man doesn't need to do anything because the woman does it.
0:20:00 – 0:20:03 With my sister in the marriage, it had been so,
0:20:03 – 0:20:10 that all technical problems, be it with the mobile phone, with the TV, with the laptop,
0:20:10 – 0:20:17 That's because she did it and not my brother-in-law or my ex-brother-in-law, but she did it.
0:20:17 – 0:20:20 He did other things for that.
0:20:20 – 0:20:26 And then someone comes here and says that the socialist man is violent
0:20:26 – 0:20:32 Even then, he still hurts women.
0:20:32 – 0:20:39 That makes me so angry and so speechless because I was in this situation myself
0:20:39 – 0:20:46 I really didn't want to endanger anyone else.
0:20:46 – 0:20:52 Jo, I think I've said it all now.
0:20:52 – 0:20:57 I'm also deviant again, that's good, because it's also called deviance.
0:20:57 – 0:21:06 And if you feel like it, listen to other formats from me or other digressions
0:21:06 – 0:21:14 Say thank you and see you next time.
0:21:14 – 0:21:16 Goodbye, Sasha.
0:21:16 – 0:21:31 [Music]

00:00 – 0:00:16 [Music]
0:00:16 – 0:00:20 Hello and welcome to a new edition of the digression.
0:00:20 – 0:00:25 Where I just stray from the subject every now and then.
0:00:25 – 0:00:32 Today I wanted to talk to you about weight loss.
0:00:32 – 0:00:44 And why I spent three months in the hospital in December 21st.
0:00:44 – 0:00:51 So maybe we should get to the starting point first.
0:00:51 – 0:01:02 I weighed about 300 kilos until 19.
0:01:02 – 0:01:05 There wasn't much left and then it would have been.
0:01:05 – 0:01:12 I was so at 290, 292, 295 always around the shoot.
0:01:12 – 0:01:18 Of course, you just pay attention that you do not increase further, because 300 is just 300.
0:01:18 – 0:01:24 That's a really bad number and you don't necessarily want to get there.
0:01:24 – 0:01:28 But that was so.
0:01:28 – 0:01:31 And how did it come about?
0:01:31 – 0:01:37 I met my girlfriend back in 2009.
0:01:37 – 0:01:39 That was so in November.
0:01:39 – 0:01:44 I weighed 140 kilos.
0:01:44 – 0:01:50 I've had this for a really long time.
0:01:50 – 0:01:56 Definitely 10 years.
0:01:56 – 0:02:00 I had never been skinny.
0:02:00 – 0:02:03 There's a picture of me, I'm very thin,
0:02:03 – 0:02:12 But there I was in the internship somewhere in Northern Germany on the farm.
0:02:12 – 0:02:15 From school.
0:02:15 – 0:02:22 I worked a lot, but didn't eat anything because I just didn't like the food.
0:02:22 – 0:02:27 I quickly lost weight and shortly thereafter there was my first debutant's ball.
0:02:27 – 0:02:30 You don't just have a debutant's ball, you only have one in your life.
0:02:30 – 0:02:33 Incidentally, I did a follow-up on that.
0:02:33 – 0:02:37 She's a little older.
0:02:37 – 0:02:43 Have a look at the page, you will find the story of the debutants ball.
0:02:43 – 0:02:47 And most importantly, what that is.
0:02:47 – 0:02:54 I was slender because I hadn't eaten for three weeks.
0:02:54 – 0:03:00 He did really hard physical work.
0:03:00 – 0:03:08 Otherwise, I was always, yes not thick, but good food.
0:03:08 – 0:03:10 Hold on to me was something.
0:03:10 – 0:03:16 At that time in the land surveying internship, so I was at the Waldorf school,
0:03:16 – 0:03:19 You have to say that you have such long internships.
0:03:19 – 0:03:22 where you go somewhere with all the classes and then do something.
0:03:22 – 0:03:25 We definitely had a land survey internship
0:03:25 – 0:03:29 And there we were on the farm as well.
0:03:29 – 0:03:33 Then a villager who was about our age tells us,
0:03:33 – 0:03:38 It was in 10th grade or 11th grade.
0:03:38 – 0:03:41 that he wouldn't want to mess with me,
0:03:41 – 0:03:48 Because I look so strong, he probably wouldn't have a chance.
0:03:48 – 0:03:53 So you can imagine that I always had a state figure.
0:03:53 – 0:04:00 And as I grew up, I weighed about 140 kilos.
0:04:00 – 0:04:03 Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, as it is.
0:04:03 – 0:04:07 In the winter months a little more and then stop in the spring
0:04:07 – 0:04:13 and so it became less and then in the summer until the late autumn,
0:04:13 – 0:04:16 If I did that, it would be a bit more.
0:04:16 – 0:04:22 But there are so many people who know the problem and the things are just too delicious in winter.
0:04:22 – 0:04:27 Well, there's more stews, there's the good food for Christmas,
0:04:27 – 0:04:36 In the pre-Christmas period, Christmas, New Year's Eve and then you just increase.
0:04:36 – 0:04:40 It's like that. I know each of us.
0:04:40 – 0:04:44 In any case, I wanted to say that I stopped the period where I was with my ex,
0:04:44 – 0:04:49 It hadn't increased much, but a little.
0:04:49 – 0:04:53 Because that had been the beautiful thing and that had just been great,
0:04:53 – 0:04:59 Watch a movie together and have a good time.
0:04:59 – 0:05:05 And she wasn't a child of sadness and also liked to eat these chocolate roses
0:05:05 – 0:05:12 or wine gum and chips and food anyway good food.
0:05:12 – 0:05:19 She could cook well, I could cook well and that was super harmonized.
0:05:19 – 0:05:22 Yeah, you noticed that a little bit too.
0:05:22 – 0:05:27 But the first real rapid weight gain that there was,
0:05:27 – 0:05:37 It must have been 2014 so, 15 so, her father got sick
0:05:37 – 0:05:43 And she had been with the mother for a long time, because that looked really bad.
0:05:43 – 0:05:49 And after that, she helped to ensure the care,
0:05:49 – 0:05:53 The father had to fight his way back to life.
0:05:53 – 0:05:58 Because that was really close to multi-organ failure
0:05:58 – 0:06:02 I really haven't seen it for half a year.
0:06:02 – 0:06:08 And I had suffered quite a bit, very much.
0:06:08 – 0:06:18 And then there were another 2000, what had that been, at the end of 2016 so,
0:06:18 – 0:06:22 There was the next incident, then the father got cancer
0:06:22 – 0:06:25 And then he was in a terrible state.
0:06:25 – 0:06:29 because somehow the sedatives have become more and more
0:06:29 – 0:06:33 And then he was given the blank.
0:06:33 – 0:06:38 So then the sedatives had to be stopped,
0:06:38 – 0:06:42 You can't do that from one day to the next, you have to hide it.
0:06:42 – 0:06:52 And then she was again, what had it been, so eight months she had been gone.
0:06:52 – 0:06:57 And then I got really fast and then I got,
0:06:57 – 0:07:04 At the time, I had developed diabetes due to my family.
0:07:04 – 0:07:10 We had so many people in our family, paternal and maternal.
0:07:10 – 0:07:15 And they're slim, so not because he ate so much sweetness, right?
0:07:15 – 0:07:18 No, no, because of family.
0:07:18 – 0:07:25 And then I went to the diabetologist and we just noticed,
0:07:25 – 0:07:29 From quarter to quarter, the weight just got more.
0:07:29 – 0:07:33 I just suffered, I just missed my girlfriend.
0:07:33 – 0:07:37 And then I just increased.
0:07:37 – 0:07:42 Then I also had a stroke in 2016.
0:07:42 – 0:07:46 I couldn't go to work, I became almost incapacitated.
0:07:46 – 0:07:50 or incapacitated even, could then register pension
0:07:50 – 0:07:54 And that totally kicked me off the track, totally.
0:07:54 – 0:07:58 I've been working in nursing for the last few years,
0:07:58 – 0:08:05 Before that, I had just worked in computer science and then studied and so on.
0:08:05 – 0:08:13 But that's a different story, that's a different digression.
0:08:13 – 0:08:19 In any case, I then, my girlfriend had not been there,
0:08:19 – 0:08:22 I had to recover from a stroke.
0:08:22 – 0:08:27 And I ate.
0:08:27 – 0:08:30 I've eaten, I've got all my grief.
0:08:30 – 0:08:35 I had another breakup, I had just lost 20 kilos,
0:08:35 – 0:08:41 with my girlfriend in front of my then girlfriend
0:08:41 – 0:08:46 And then, at the stop, as she was not there, so much increased.
0:08:46 – 0:08:49 Then the relationship broke down,
0:08:49 – 0:08:55 I've talked about it on the podcast before.
0:08:55 – 0:09:00 When it comes to polyamorous relationships, that's how it was.
0:09:00 – 0:09:07 And that's borderline, that would have to be issue 10, if you want to.
0:09:07 – 0:09:13 In any case, I ate even more,
0:09:13 – 0:09:18 Because those long breakups just didn't last the relationship.
0:09:18 – 0:09:21 There have always been disputes before,
0:09:21 – 0:09:26 We had a foster son and it didn't work out right.
0:09:26 – 0:09:32 because the family repeatedly made difficulties of the child
0:09:32 – 0:09:37 and then there were difficulties with us and we had difficulties with each other,
0:09:37 – 0:09:40 That's why there was stress, strife.
0:09:40 – 0:09:44 And so the relationship just kept getting further and further away
0:09:44 – 0:09:48 There was also a distance between us.
0:09:48 – 0:09:54 And what can I say about it, I have suffered and increased,
0:09:54 – 0:10:00 I gained weight, so I weighed 300 pounds.
0:10:00 – 0:10:09 It was summer 2019 when I met my current girlfriend.
0:10:09 – 0:10:23 And then I lost 50 pounds, from 19 to 21, that is, until the beginning of December.
0:10:23 – 0:10:28 And then there was Nicholas, we sat with my mother
0:10:28 – 0:10:33 and celebrated so nicely around Nicholas
0:10:33 – 0:10:39 And there's my middle nephew, like little kids,
0:10:39 – 0:10:44 they squeeze through the thinnest corners,
0:10:44 – 0:10:53 stumbled and fell with his kneecap on my footrest
0:10:53 – 0:10:56 And that's gotten fat.
0:10:56 – 0:11:00 It really hurt so much, so I haven't had that for a long time.
0:11:00 – 0:11:05 Something hurt me as much as that.
0:11:05 – 0:11:09 It must be said, because of all my illnesses,
0:11:09 – 0:11:13 Which I've gotten over time
0:11:13 – 0:11:19 and also the massive overweight, I just developed a lymphidem,
0:11:19 – 0:11:22 that is, massive water build-up in the legs,
0:11:22 – 0:11:26 I had lymphoid level 3.
0:11:26 – 0:11:30 This is colloquially elephantitis.
0:11:30 – 0:11:34 I don't know what giant legs I got,
0:11:34 – 0:11:38 But keep it neat and hard.
0:11:38 – 0:11:41 That's what Stage 3 is all about.
0:11:41 – 0:11:45 That it doesn't get any less when you put your legs up
0:11:45 – 0:11:49 Or higher than the head.
0:11:49 – 0:11:52 And I knew myself, I was a nurse,
0:11:52 – 0:11:56 I was a nurse, examinated.
0:11:56 – 0:12:02 What I didn't expect was that because of the compression stockings
0:12:02 – 0:12:05 the blood supply is slightly worse,
0:12:05 – 0:12:09 due to diabetes, the blood supply is slightly worse,
0:12:09 – 0:12:13 Diabetes also causes nerve damage.
0:12:13 – 0:12:18 I didn't realize there was an inflammation.
0:12:18 – 0:12:22 in the massive bruise that I have on my forefoot,
0:12:22 – 0:12:24 He had the footrest.
0:12:24 – 0:12:29 And at some point my nursing service was there
0:12:29 – 0:12:36 And he said we should call the ambulance now,
0:12:36 – 0:12:39 Someone has to go to the hospital.
0:12:39 – 0:12:42 And then I was in the hospital for three months
0:12:42 – 0:12:49 I have had 12 surgeries on my feet.
0:12:49 – 0:12:54 Until that was the case, with a final skin transplant
0:12:54 – 0:12:58 from my thigh, one had gotten it,
0:12:58 – 0:13:00 that the wound has closed,
0:13:00 – 0:13:03 otherwise I would have had an open foot,
0:13:03 – 0:13:07 In the worst case, it would have led to amputation.
0:13:07 – 0:13:13 And now you have to say, if you weigh 300 kilos or 250 kilos,
0:13:13 – 0:13:16 A normal ambulance can't take you.
0:13:16 – 0:13:21 I was also a member of the German Red Cross in the medical field.
0:13:21 – 0:13:26 I trained the paramedic there.
0:13:26 – 0:13:30 I also did ambulance rescues myself.
0:13:30 – 0:13:34 You have to spend a certain number of hours a year,
0:13:34 – 0:13:39 So that we can continue to do that.
0:13:39 – 0:13:43 And so I knew that in a certain class
0:13:43 – 0:13:46 Don't take a normal ambulance.
0:13:46 – 0:13:49 Now I live in Dortmund and they have fortunately
0:13:49 – 0:13:55 one or two closed-loop transporters.
0:13:55 – 0:14:00 These are converted trucks, seven half-tons,
0:14:00 – 0:14:03 no vans, which are usual,
0:14:03 – 0:14:11 Because there's the limit at roundabout 190 kilos.
0:14:11 – 0:14:15 More than that, the anchoring of those at the table does not hold out.
0:14:15 – 0:14:17 It's not that the car can't stand it.
0:14:17 – 0:14:19 but the anchoring.
0:14:19 – 0:14:22 If they have to slow down,
0:14:22 – 0:14:24 then leave quite nice forces on it.
0:14:24 – 0:14:26 And the greater the weight, the more
0:14:26 – 0:14:28 The greater the power,
0:14:28 – 0:14:32 which acts on the lock and on the table.
0:14:32 – 0:14:37 In any case, I just knew that it wouldn't work
0:14:37 – 0:14:44 with the weight class and then requested a bulky truck ambulance.
0:14:44 – 0:14:47 And then I went to the hospital with him,
0:14:47 – 0:14:52 after a little wandering, because the hospitals
0:14:52 – 0:14:54 Do not stop the necessary capacities,
0:14:54 – 0:14:56 to meet my specific needs,
0:14:56 – 0:14:59 were prepared or even had space,
0:14:59 – 0:15:03 because the offerings were already occupied by other people,
0:15:03 – 0:15:07 They were also very heavy.
0:15:07 – 0:15:12 And then I was in the hospital and then I was in bed
0:15:12 – 0:15:15 and then had all the shit with the operation like this
0:15:15 – 0:15:20 And I've thought so much before,
0:15:20 – 0:15:23 You don't need it anymore and you don't want it anymore
0:15:23 – 0:15:26 And then I started to lose weight there.
0:15:26 – 0:15:32 and then had until, what had it been,
0:15:32 – 0:15:38 In the middle of 22 had already 50 kilos down.
0:15:38 – 0:15:43 Yes, and then the whole recovery period and so on,
0:15:43 – 0:15:47 Everything went through.
0:15:47 – 0:15:56 Then I lost another 30 kilos from there until now.
0:15:56 – 0:15:59 So now I'm about 170 kilos,
0:15:59 – 0:16:04 If you can count on it and it goes down.
0:16:04 – 0:16:06 I mean, I'm still a diabetologist.
0:16:06 – 0:16:08 And that's where everything is monitored.
0:16:08 – 0:16:12 And there are medications that help me.
0:16:12 – 0:16:16 I can control the sugar level.
0:16:16 – 0:16:21 Yes, there are a few problems with availability at the moment,
0:16:21 – 0:16:26 but you can see, I'm really out of 300 kilos
0:16:26 – 0:16:33 I lost 130 pounds and that's, wow, that's a lot.
0:16:33 – 0:16:36 The thing why I wanted to talk about this topic now,
0:16:36 – 0:16:38 I didn't want to tell you how great I am.
0:16:38 – 0:16:40 'Cause I've lost so much so far
0:16:40 – 0:16:42 And it will decrease even further.
0:16:42 – 0:16:48 Until I don't feel it.
0:16:48 – 0:16:55 I still feel that way at 250, 280 kilos.
0:16:55 – 0:17:00 I am regularly frightened by what dimension I have.
0:17:00 – 0:17:02 I'm always scared when I wash my clothes.
0:17:02 – 0:17:09 And hang up the clothes, how big these things are.
0:17:09 – 0:17:15 If someone sleeps with me and he puts on a T-shirt from me
0:17:15 – 0:17:17 and it somehow fits in three times,
0:17:17 – 0:17:21 I am so scared every time.
0:17:21 – 0:17:24 One would actually think that one should realize this,
0:17:24 – 0:17:27 Just because of agility or something.
0:17:27 – 0:17:29 You have to say I had a stroke.
0:17:29 – 0:17:34 And since then, running has been a real disaster.
0:17:34 – 0:17:38 And I don't move that much
0:17:38 – 0:17:42 And when I run, I'd have a lot of effort.
0:17:42 – 0:17:49 I don't realize it because I'm just as broken as I was before.
0:17:49 – 0:17:52 It's definitely so, I'm wondering about it,
0:17:52 – 0:17:53 That I don't notice.
0:17:53 – 0:17:56 I mean, I found my fiancé like this,
0:17:56 – 0:17:58 that she has almost the same problem,
0:17:58 – 0:18:01 that she doesn't see it or doesn't want to notice it,
0:18:01 – 0:18:03 that she really lost a lot,
0:18:03 – 0:18:07 Ever since we've been together.
0:18:07 – 0:18:11 And I always do so "hahaha",
0:18:11 – 0:18:15 But I have it myself too.
0:18:15 – 0:18:17 I'm always shocked,
0:18:17 – 0:18:21 Because on the one hand I get scared again and again
0:18:21 – 0:18:23 In my dimension,
0:18:23 – 0:18:27 But I still feel as fat as before.
0:18:27 – 0:18:30 But on the other hand, I notice again and again,
0:18:30 – 0:18:33 that I misjudge situations,
0:18:33 – 0:18:35 because there is now an opening,
0:18:35 – 0:18:38 Others go through it and I don't get through it.
0:18:38 – 0:18:40 Although I am so mindsetting,
0:18:40 – 0:18:41 From my thoughts,
0:18:41 – 0:18:43 How I feel about my body,
0:18:43 – 0:18:45 That would have to fit.
0:18:45 – 0:18:49 The funny thing is, I feel heavier, thicker,
0:18:49 – 0:18:54 But see myself as thin.
0:18:54 – 0:18:58 So you understand this dichotomy,
0:18:58 – 0:19:01 this discrepancy,
0:19:01 – 0:19:07 This non-logical relationship between
0:19:07 – 0:19:10 "You feel fatter than you are,
0:19:10 – 0:19:12 But then you wonder,
0:19:12 – 0:19:14 If you don't pass through holes,
0:19:14 – 0:19:16 where you can't pass,
0:19:16 – 0:19:18 But you think,
0:19:18 – 0:19:20 You had to pass through it.
0:19:20 – 0:19:25 Yeah, that's amazing every time
0:19:25 – 0:19:27 And I am amazed myself.
0:19:27 – 0:19:29 But now one also wonders,
0:19:29 – 0:19:32 How I managed to lose so much.
0:19:32 – 0:19:36 The first answer would be clear, gastric surgery.
0:19:36 – 0:19:39 No, guys, I tried to get one
0:19:39 – 0:19:41 Due to depression,
0:19:41 – 0:19:44 what is an exclusion criterion,
0:19:44 – 0:19:49 I didn't get an operation.
0:19:49 – 0:19:52 During the coronavirus era, there were almost no appointments.
0:19:52 – 0:19:55 for a nutritional consultation
0:19:55 – 0:19:59 The whole project was interesting,
0:19:59 – 0:20:01 but obsolete.
0:20:01 – 0:20:03 I mean, that's the way it is,
0:20:03 – 0:20:05 I'm losing weight there.
0:20:05 – 0:20:09 I would only have 10 anyway.% I can lose my weight
0:20:09 – 0:20:12 and at best not more than 15 kilos,
0:20:12 – 0:20:15 Because then it would also go without
0:20:15 – 0:20:18 And then the hospital wouldn't get paid for the operation.
0:20:18 – 0:20:21 In the end, it's all about money again.
0:20:21 – 0:20:23 I didn't have gastric surgery.
0:20:23 – 0:20:27 I hadn't been to Turkey either.
0:20:27 – 0:20:31 My diabetologist changed my medication.
0:20:31 – 0:20:35 We've also been able to reduce insulin.
0:20:35 – 0:20:38 Due to weight loss,
0:20:38 – 0:20:43 due to a slight change in diet.
0:20:43 – 0:20:49 I eat much less light flour than white flour,
0:20:49 – 0:20:53 but much more rye,
0:20:53 – 0:20:55 Because it just lasts longer
0:20:55 – 0:20:59 And it just releases the carbohydrate on the body more slowly.
0:20:59 – 0:21:03 The body simply needs more work to unlock this.
0:21:03 – 0:21:07 Then I have a tablet that leads to
0:21:07 – 0:21:12 I get more sugar out of my urine.
0:21:12 – 0:21:17 and the so-called fat-way syringe, the sampling.
0:21:17 – 0:21:19 A true miracle weapon for all,
0:21:19 – 0:21:23 Who want to lose a few pounds in the summer for the summer.
0:21:23 – 0:21:28 This also makes it difficult to get this drug right now.
0:21:28 – 0:21:35 because people prefer to inject it to lose a few kilos,
0:21:35 – 0:21:41 as for diabetics, i.e. type 2 diabetics,
0:21:41 – 0:21:44 who can't control their sugar,
0:21:44 – 0:21:49 To support it a bit.
0:21:49 – 0:21:54 The remedy works in the form that this is a hormone,
0:21:54 – 0:21:58 It interferes with the cycle.
0:21:58 – 0:22:01 Feeling hungry, you are much more fed up,
0:22:01 – 0:22:03 You're not so hungry
0:22:03 – 0:22:05 On the other hand, it also ensures that
0:22:05 – 0:22:09 Fewer fats and proteins,
0:22:09 – 0:22:14 Much less fats and sugars are absorbed through food.
0:22:14 – 0:22:17 And that makes it so effective.
0:22:17 – 0:22:20 I am grateful that I have,
0:22:20 – 0:22:24 but I have trouble getting the medication regularly,
0:22:24 – 0:22:28 because it is not as available worldwide as it is needed,
0:22:28 – 0:22:31 There is only one producer for this.
0:22:31 – 0:22:34 It's the same as normal insulin.
0:22:34 – 0:22:37 There are only two or three places in the world.
0:22:37 – 0:22:39 Where it is produced.
0:22:39 – 0:22:43 And here in Europe it's just in Denmark
0:22:43 – 0:22:45 This is Nordisk.
0:22:45 – 0:22:48 I mean, how else do we know?
0:22:48 – 0:22:55 We have perfected our production of medicines in such a way that
0:22:55 – 0:22:58 that we have only one manufacturer,
0:22:58 – 0:23:00 So that the works are exhausted,
0:23:00 – 0:23:02 so that these works run profitably
0:23:02 – 0:23:06 And through all the contracts you've got,
0:23:06 – 0:23:09 It is not possible to operate a plant in any other way.
0:23:09 – 0:23:13 That's why you only have one work.
0:23:13 – 0:23:15 If anything happens to this work,
0:23:15 – 0:23:18 How can the drug not be made?
0:23:18 – 0:23:21 If anything happens to suppliers,
0:23:21 – 0:23:24 Can the drug not be manufactured?
0:23:24 – 0:23:26 That's a pretty stupid situation.
0:23:26 – 0:23:29 And I actually thought, because of the corona crisis,
0:23:29 – 0:23:33 when a few things were very hard to get,
0:23:33 – 0:23:37 When it comes to medication, you'd be smarter.
0:23:37 – 0:23:41 But during the pandemic, there were good words,
0:23:41 – 0:23:45 We need to make sure that we get back to Europe.
0:23:45 – 0:23:49 And after the pandemic, everything is back to what it was before the pandemic.
0:23:49 – 0:23:50 Cheap, cheap, cheap.
0:23:50 – 0:23:55 And if that's one cent per 1000 pieces.
0:23:55 – 0:23:58 Oh, I've wandered around here again.
0:23:58 – 0:24:02 In any case, in combination with a dietary change
0:24:02 – 0:24:05 And I made it to the medications.
0:24:05 – 0:24:08 And I'm still in it.
0:24:08 – 0:24:14 And it's not a renunciation now, you might eat gummy bears,
0:24:14 – 0:24:17 Not just one bag, but a few.
0:24:17 – 0:24:23 One eats a bar of chocolate, not a whole table,
0:24:23 – 0:24:26 Which was no problem before, because that's what you eat like bread.
0:24:26 – 0:24:30 Many can, by the way. My mother loves chocolate.
0:24:30 – 0:24:36 That's so many things. These are the little things.
0:24:36 – 0:24:39 And now the next step is to stop,
0:24:39 – 0:24:42 Continue to reduce calories.
0:24:42 – 0:24:44 And I hope that someday I will be able to
0:24:44 – 0:24:46 Just moving me more,
0:24:46 – 0:24:49 So that the calorie baseline simply gets higher.
0:24:49 – 0:24:53 Because more exercise means more calories consumed.
0:24:53 – 0:24:56 And then the deficit is bigger.
0:24:56 – 0:25:00 And so even better for losing weight.
0:25:00 – 0:25:03 I've met some people now,
0:25:03 – 0:25:06 They had gastric surgery.
0:25:06 – 0:25:10 Some have gone well, others have problems.
0:25:10 – 0:25:14 Many people have food intolerances.
0:25:14 – 0:25:16 You have to say it as it is.
0:25:16 – 0:25:20 One destroys an intact organ, which is only very large.
0:25:20 – 0:25:26 But you destroy the stomach and can deal with a lot of problems.
0:25:26 – 0:25:31 And if we want to say one thing, there's this old saying,
0:25:31 – 0:25:35 Food holds body and soul together.
0:25:35 – 0:25:37 And that's the way it is.
0:25:37 – 0:25:40 If you don't eat, you're going to starve and die.
0:25:40 – 0:25:42 Then body and soul are no longer together.
0:25:42 – 0:25:44 But it's not just that.
0:25:44 – 0:25:47 It's also a beautiful thing.
0:25:47 – 0:25:51 Unfortunately, also what can lead into such a food addiction.
0:25:51 – 0:25:56 So not in one where you don't eat or stop eating and puking,
0:25:56 – 0:26:02 Anorexia or bulimia, but in one where you eat too much,
0:26:02 – 0:26:07 because you don't have a feeling of satiety or because you just have to compensate for something,
0:26:07 – 0:26:09 what is missing.
0:26:09 – 0:26:12 Or because the moment you eat,
0:26:12 – 0:26:17 feels so good because it is nice, because it is also something pleasant to eat,
0:26:17 – 0:26:23 Trying to fill what you are missing.
0:26:23 – 0:26:28 And I can speak from experience, I just ate more,
0:26:28 – 0:26:34 Just to get over the loss or grief of the relationship.
0:26:34 – 0:26:40 And then the feeling of satiety was broken and I continued to eat.
0:26:40 – 0:26:42 It's like that.
0:26:42 – 0:26:46 Since at some point to come from the head that you do this,
0:26:46 – 0:26:50 It's a great achievement, and there's a lot that needs to happen.
0:26:50 – 0:26:52 That this is coming.
0:26:52 – 0:26:56 My girlfriend made a conscious purchase beforehand.
0:26:56 – 0:27:00 and again and again, when we had written a shopping list,
0:27:00 – 0:27:03 He did not bring this and that.
0:27:03 – 0:27:05 Which is, of course, beautiful in retrospect.
0:27:05 – 0:27:07 I was often annoyed at that time,
0:27:07 – 0:27:11 if a yogurt wasn't there or the gummy bears or the chocolate
0:27:11 – 0:27:13 Or the chips.
0:27:13 – 0:27:15 But I didn't just feed myself on it,
0:27:15 – 0:27:17 But also the normal food.
0:27:17 – 0:27:19 But I ate more.
0:27:19 – 0:27:25 So if other people were pappsatt at the latest after the second portion,
0:27:25 – 0:27:27 I think it was after the third,
0:27:27 – 0:27:29 Maybe even after the fourth portion.
0:27:29 – 0:27:32 Today I only eat one portion.
0:27:32 – 0:27:35 We had ordered the days Indian.
0:27:35 – 0:27:39 This is now a meal for us for two days,
0:27:39 – 0:27:41 If not for three days.
0:27:41 – 0:27:46 You can keep it as you want,
0:27:46 – 0:27:48 But it's like that.
0:27:48 – 0:27:52 And a pizza, at most half a pizza goes in there.
0:27:52 – 0:27:57 This has changed over time and that continues.
0:27:57 – 0:27:59 The next step, which is still to be taken,
0:27:59 – 0:28:03 It is a slightly healthier way of life.
0:28:03 – 0:28:07 I had quit smoking,
0:28:07 – 0:28:08 Then I started again,
0:28:08 – 0:28:10 And then I stopped,
0:28:10 – 0:28:12 I then started again
0:28:12 – 0:28:17 And I hope I can do it again
0:28:17 – 0:28:19 And don't increase too much.
0:28:19 – 0:28:23 Because most people who quit smoking,
0:28:23 – 0:28:26 Speaking of 20 pounds plus,
0:28:26 – 0:28:29 which, by the way, they also lose by 15 kilos,
0:28:29 – 0:28:32 When you start smoking again.
0:28:32 – 0:28:36 Because the nicotine and the reward system
0:28:36 – 0:28:39 intervene very strongly in the metabolism.
0:28:39 – 0:28:43 Especially the reward system.
0:28:43 – 0:28:46 Now we have 30 minutes
0:28:46 – 0:28:49 And I'm still not finished with the topic.
0:28:49 – 0:28:56 Now you know why I was in the hospital, 21,
0:28:56 – 0:28:59 Why I was in the hospital for three months
0:28:59 – 0:29:01 And what this had to do with it,
0:29:01 – 0:29:05 That I continued to lose weight like that.
0:29:05 – 0:29:09 Yes, it would be nice,
0:29:09 – 0:29:12 If you listen to any other productions from me.
0:29:12 – 0:29:16 Just look at Lautfunk.de.
0:29:16 – 0:29:22 Here you will find the blog, the podcast formats
0:29:22 – 0:29:27 Just leave a comment

0:29:37 – 0:29:40 I'd be really happy.
0:29:40 – 0:29:43 Write a few lines about it,
0:29:43 – 0:29:48 What you think needs to be improved, or something like that.
0:29:48 – 0:29:51 Well, and with that we would have closed the arc now,
0:29:51 – 0:29:57 between the penultimate episode, the last episode and this episode.
0:29:57 – 0:30:02 And I think that's how a good hour of material came together.
0:30:02 – 0:30:04 So, I've come out now,
0:30:04 – 0:30:08 I recorded the three episodes one after the other.
0:30:08 – 0:30:11 And then she will stop at the usual rhythm,
0:30:11 – 0:30:16 unless there are any special formats, just publish.

The Complexity of Relationships: A personal look

‘The balancing act between family ties and friendly relationships’

Reading time

1–2 minutes

Relationships are a fascinating phenomenon. In the course of my life, I have already had some relationships, be it with my parents or with my sister. These relationships are familiar to all of us, as are relationships with relatives such as grandparents, aunts and uncles. They are predetermined and we have no choice. But then there are the relationships we can choose – friendships. Friendships are also relationships that are not predetermined. We consciously choose with whom we enter into these relationships. And then there are the relationships that we enter into over the course of our lives, especially romantic relationships, but that's a theme of its own.
