Is LL an irrational decision?

Edit Post

The thing here is, wearing lifts doesn't make much of a difference.

When you walk into a world where everyone is probably wearing shoes that give 'em height. Like Timberlands, (a main trend now) You'll just still be short compared to them.
Lifts work when you're the only one wearing 'em.

And yes, It's a mental issue. An obsession of some sort.
It can be overcome mentally but, it will sometimes still haunt you.
I'm on pills prescribed by my shrink for a few months. And so far, it has done little help...

The surgery is a physical solution to a mental problem.
And it's a pretty damn good solution..

Amen to that!

But sometimes, the surgery is also a physical solution to a physical problem which others see as a mental problem

While I'll admit LL is a more serious surgery (at least in terms of recovery), I wonder how many girls are told to see a shrink and take pills before the skin is peeled back over their noses and a surgeon breaks/reshapes their nasal bones/cartilage with various tools, or before having their chests sliced open for the insertion of plastic bags.

If 2inch lifts aren't helping why would you think 2 inches of LL will help?

Btw if your pills aren't working you should report it to your shrink.

How dare you, along with getting a new haircuts, a plastic surgery is totally normal

The problem is that those pills in general are only preventing your body from reacting to your bad thoughts.
The don't make you think differently. I had this effect too, when I had to take my pills.
I just couldn't cry when I was sad because of my height and my s*itty life resulting from it, but I had still to think about it all the time.

The pills help your body (eg. no headache from crying or easier sleep), but they don't help you/your ghost, soul or whatever you call it.

Plot twist: mostly they do.

Besides, comparing few cuts in a skin to breaking your fking legs in a half with a big chance of highly reducing your basic mobility is a bit stupid.
How long you recover from simple boob job? 2 days? Ye let's compare it to many years of hard work and rehabilitation.

Be happy that you can take them at all, some of us can't.
Besides if your pills aren't making you at least a bit less troubled then you need to change them.

Changing pills would mean that I had to switch from reduced emotions to an altered/tempered mind. Taking away your self freely is like mental suicide.
And I would have to visit my psychiatrist for the rest of my life so I can have my prescriptions. I would never be free, because a problem would still persist in one way or another.
In contrast to it, the suffering from broken bones and rehab are only temporarily compared to rest of your lifetime (even it takes years).
It is a solution. And like James said "a pretty damn good solution".


LL as a solution to whatever problem is always rational as long there is no better solution.

It's not stupid at all when you take into account the fact that there are numerous deaths resultant from cosmetic surgery every year (in Florida alone there were 46 deaths from 2000-2010) while to date there has never been a reported case of death caused by cosmetic leg lengthening. While I do cede (and in fact already did in the previous post, perhaps you overlooked) that LL presents a longer recovery period, I''m not sure where your figure of 'many years of hard work and rehabilitation' come from. To return to 100%, maybe, but for all extensive purposes many people resume their regular lives within a year or so.

I would prefer to have tempered mind than thinking every night how to finally finish myself.

In the best case? Maybe.
Problems start when you end up crippled or not satisfied from the results(i'm looking at every one of you that claimed lifts aren't making any difference).

Yes comparing whole segment to unpopular surgery is pretty rational. kek.
But old forum never had people who went to stupid indian/russian doctors and ended up with serious complications.

And no, i didn't overlook it. I just pointed out how "serious" LL is.

2 inches of lifts are temporary, 2 inches of LL is permanent
because 2 inches of LL will make "you" taller, and then when you do wear lifts, you'll be like others rather than be short, wear lifts, and have others wear lifts, making it no difference.

Yeah maybe i should change my pills.
They do calm me for a period of time, but the thoughts exist, And when triggered, They get worse than before the pills..
Now the thoughts turned into sudden panic attacks.
