There have been reports of therapists on BetterHelp being unresponsive. One client said that they would send messages to their therapist with urgent mental health concerns, but it would take days for the therapist to reply, if they replied at all. This lack of timely response can be extremely distressing for someone in a vulnerable mental state, as they are relying on the support that the service is supposed to provide.
Well, I heard one where a person signed up for BetterHelp but had a really hard time getting matched with a suitable counselor. They were passed around from one counselor to another, and each time they had to start over explaining their issues. It was like a never - ending cycle of frustration.
One horror story could be about a user who felt that their therapist on BetterHelp was constantly pushing them towards expensive additional services instead of focusing on their actual mental health issues. It made the user feel like they were just a source of money.
One common horror story is about the high cost. Some people thought they were getting affordable help, but then there were hidden fees and charges that added up quickly. It was really a shock for them when they got the bill.
There was a student who got sick during a crucial exam week. They had to take the exams while feeling really unwell. The horror was not only in the physical discomfort but also in the fear of not performing well because of their illness. The school's strict exam policies didn't really allow for much flexibility in such cases.
One person said that after starting Shakeology, they felt extremely fatigued all the time. It was as if their energy levels had dropped rather than increased as the product promised.
Sure. One 'bellafill horror story' is about a man who had Bellafill injected in his nasolabial folds. After a while, he noticed that the area became hard and rigid. It made his facial expressions look odd and restricted his normal movement. He regretted getting the Bellafill injection as it really affected his appearance in a negative way.
Yes. There was a story of a young woman who was captured by ISIS. She was sold into slavery and endured countless physical and mental abuses. Her life was completely ruined by those barbarians.
A user shared that they followed Noom's advice strictly but still didn't see any significant weight loss results. They were disappointed as they had put in a lot of effort, changing their eating habits and increasing their exercise as per the app's suggestions. They felt that the app's promised outcomes were not realistic for everyone.
Yes. There was a story of a young man who was arrested on false charges. He was sent to a gulag in Siberia. The winter there was brutal. He was given thin rags to wear and had to sleep on a cold, hard floor. Every day, he was forced to cut down trees in the freezing forest. His hands became frostbitten, but he was not allowed any medical treatment. He witnessed many of his fellow prisoners die from the cold, hunger, and exhaustion.
Sure. I've heard of a person who developed tardive dyskinesia, which is involuntary muscle movements, after taking olanzapine for a while. Her face would twitch uncontrollably at times, and she was very self - conscious about it. It affected her social life as she was afraid to go out in public. Also, a man had such bad mood swings on olanzapine that he almost lost his job. He would get angry at his colleagues for no reason, and it took a long time to figure out that it might be the side effect of the drug.
