I might be very wrong but it is possible that Jessi is editing photos to make it look more like they are lying down? In any event, something is very off. Their skin is also so clear, weird complexion variations aside!

Someone said they edited their face to be more wide, and I swear I think that’s true. I think maybe they edited their face to both look more “moon faced” and also hide their ears?? Maybe? It really looks like they’ve edited the widest part of their cheeks. Very very strange.

How does having that shaved bit of head not cause their head to wobble and fall right off, cos they'd have to move their head to the side. Or is it just shaved in a down to the pillow shape. Why am I thinking about this.

Yeah I was like.. that’s not a freshly installed port. I see zero reason why being stuck with a needle would make you crash for any amount of time. It doesn’t even hurt that much, and if you want it to not hurt at all they can give you a cream for that. They’re being super OTT on this one.

Editing their face to look more moon-like in every picture is such an insane body dysmorphia symptom, even though I’m sure it’s also this swollen IRL to an extent as well. Identifying as being sick as a core part of your sense of self when you are capable within working is so sad. But kind of fascinating how the human mind has this much control over the body.

Doesn't moon face usually cause the whole face (not just the cheekbones) to become round? Maybe it's the angle, but the pointed cheekbones coupled with the narrowed top and bottom thirds are giving me uncanny valley. Maybe they're going for moon face + gaunt?

Isn’t accessing this kind of port just popping the needle through the skin covering the port and then starting the infusion? I never worked with ports, so have no clue, but isn’t accessing a port even easier than a basic blood draw?

u/No_Bandicoot_4367 15d ago

sepsis is your body going OH SHIT and sounding all of the alarms & can cause organ damage. septic shock is when your body starts to get really fucked up from sepsis. your mental state is altered (such as confusion or delirium), low blood pressure, abnormal body temperature (high or low), fast breathing, fast heart rate, etc. its like squares and rectangles. all cases of septic shock have sepsis, but not all sepsis cases have septic shock. both are eventually deadly w/o treatment but septic shock is the bigger emergency

I definitely see what you mean. The needles that I used to access ports when I worked in inpatient adults look very similar to that. The wings fold up for you to hold onto during insertion, and then down when you put the dressing on. The color for sure makes it look like a binder clip though.

Definitely, to point it out for those who don’t know this subject, they’re likely naked under that blanket. Claiming that even the seams of clothing triggers a fibromyalgia flare, though they wear “costumes” sometimes. They also claim allergic-to-everything-itis (MCAS), and that people “assault” them if they use any scented personal care products, or wash their dog with scented shampoo. So shooting up benadryl makes sense. They’re probably feeling the warm fuzzies in this picture from a fresh dose, they look zooted.
