    i got myopia, autism, very severe adhd (thats luckily mostly gone thanks to meds at least), eating disorders caused by a rare condition consisting of an anomalous way of swallowing (or something like that), a shitload of stress problems, high chances of getting schizophrenia if i ever come closer than 10 meters of anything made out of cannabis (with the only exception of the ropes), high chances of cancer due to some weird gene shit my dad has…i think the only good thing i got off my parents dna is that my bones are harder to break than average (which is very damn useful when you do medieval swordfighting at historical events (or at the local renfair))

    are you me? lol

    my father’s side has autism, depression, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.

    my mother’s side has autism, adhd, anxiety, alcoholism/addictions and cancers galore.

    i got every single one of those and been getting treatment for all of it decades now, plus the added “benefit” of knowing that i’ll be dead sometime in my late 60’s to early 70’s because of it; i’m middle aged now.

      I’m in a very similar boat. I’ve been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70…

        there’s been 4 people (out of 64) that made it past 70; 3 have lived until 100 or so and they were all skinny, short men.

        it’s galling to me that my father and brother inherited these genes and it’s worse that they’re both conservatives; by brother is fully blown trump supporter and i know that he’s going to attribute his longevity to living a “clean and god fearing” life unlike his wicked, commie, queer brother.
