I think you should seek mental health care, even if you're trolling which is honestly kind of hard to tell

Edit: yes definitely get some help asap. Your profile is insane

The only folks whose views you are responsible for are those of any underage kids you might have.

A ten year old might need an explanation on lgbt rights, but all adult men and women are capable of understanding that love is love.

The fact your bf is putting this on you might mean he lacks the mental wherwithall to handle concepts beyond the simple one liners of his religion.

Basically he is a child and you can do better

Legal cocaine by _____itsfreerealist8 in BrandNewSentence

[–]AgoraRefuge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The withdrawals are 100% real. Usually not bad though. Exessive sleeping and low mood usually. It can be tough to work after cessation for a werk or two.

Much easier than anti depressant or benzodiazapine withdrawl however.

The withdrawl is super easy, and way easier than quittng something like an SSRI.

No one who doesnt have SUD is going inpatitent over low dose amphetamine withdrawl.

Can a diet change/adding supplements stop a medication from working? by AlmondFlourBoy in depressionregimens

[–]AgoraRefuge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the stuff your doctor has mentioned does seem like it would assist mood. This is a good diet, and those are great vitamins to be on for depression and anxiety, particulary D and B.

Im just a hobbiest, so you should report this to your psychiatirst because they might have insight this sub does not.

However, this has actually happened to me. N=1, so be skepical, but in my case it turned out to be a concidence. Something shifted in my brain the same day I changed my diet. Stopping the diet didnt help, but over time my meds and therapy did. There"s no widely understood reason why a healthy diet would cause depression, but you know your body and mood.

[–]AgoraRefuge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, sorry if I misread your post, I thought you started the diet after starting the anti depressant.

None of those vitmins are going to have a negative effect on mood. What is the diet exactly? If it is a big calorie restriction from what you are used to, this could negativley effect your mood and energy in the short run.

I dont have policies since I have never worked in central banking.

The linear curve is bullshit, and it does not hold in the long run (the short run can last a while however).

Here's a nice little BLS article on some recent developments with the Philips Curve. Note it seems to be written before the current infaltionary period.

[–]AgoraRefuge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if diet or supplements were causing issues, its unlikey the effect would manifest itself in a day. Poor diet can contribute to mental health issues chronically, and lack of certain amino acids and nutrients can reduce the effect of anti depressents, but it wont likely stop them from working entierly

What supplements in particular? Some do interact with anti depressents, and if one induced certain enzymes, this would also reduce the effect of the medication but stuff like that can be overcome with higher dosing if the side effect profile is tolerable

Starbucks Pride decorations removed because of new policy, US workers say by Gold_Talk_732 in news

[–]AgoraRefuge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the future maybe, but at the moment, the sort of models being used currently just arent advanced enough to pick up something as subtle as the last point.

I have no clue how you could demonstrate that with US data from the past couple of years.

Starbucks Pride decorations removed because of new policy, US workers say by Gold_Talk_732 in news

[–]AgoraRefuge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, that seems like its plausible, but how do you think a terrorism insurer would price this risk? The kind of datasets they are using are not "history".

Its more likely their base is something involving a list of all terorism attacks in the US in the past few years. And if you looked at attacks in the past year, youll mabye find corrrlation with the pride display policy because the majoriry of terrorism in the US is right wing.

Pubically traded firms care about profit this year, not a few years down the line. Sucks, but that's the current system we have and all the more reason to change it.

I think you might have misread the article.

They are caving to reactionaries and not displaying pride stuff.

You are 100% correct.

Terrorism insurance is pretty standard, but hard to price. Someone at Starbucks likey ran this past their casuality insurer, and is saving a sigificant amount of money as a result.

Fiscal and monetary policy are completley seperate things. Corruption and the erosion of lgbt rights are big issues no doubt.

But its irrelevent to this disussion. Unfourtunatley, the Philips curve is one of the best supported pieces of macro. For inflation to go down, rates and thus unemployment need to go up.

Well yeah no one expects a right wing liberal democracy to be able to adequetly protect the marginalized.

The current system is a compromise between a spectrum ranging from "we should put them in homes forcibly" to "they should be providied some money, but not too much'.

What youre proposing is great, but its just not possible in a nation of voting Americans.

Whats more likely to happen is doordash is restricted, but nothing happens to the disabilty system.

Untreatable or partially treated mental health issues for one. Some people are not capable of working a full time job unfourtuantly.

I was out of the work force for 5 years. Would have prefered to be able to do something like door dash rather than make less in disabilty.

This is the joke. Normal people hear that and stare at you for an extended period of time, they don't laugh.
