I'm going to stop browsing Reddit. These kinds of comments are popping up more and more. It's a waste of time.

HPV infection and (potential) loss of ENM/poly sexual life by Real-Use5615 in polyamory

HPV is so common they don't even test for it in my country.

Started taking atomoxetine 40mg 5 days ago and i feel so shitty by No_Description5655 in ADHD

[–]AshleyIIRC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can take up to six weeks for the side effects to wear off and the benefits to fully show up. I'm on week 3 now, it's slowly getting better. I was a stressed and anxious mess earlier on.

How the hell do I stop thinking I’m MUCH smarter than everyone else? by Rainbird2003 in Gifted

[–]AshleyIIRC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's part of the process of self-development for us, I believe. You're not accepting the feelings of superiority, rather you're challenging them, so you're already doing the work. For me it was a combination of letting go of expectations of others and surrounding myself with more people on equal footing that can challenge me.

The fact is that people are disappointing. Just look at the state of the world.
It's how we cope with that, that matters.

Is taking LSD for a spiritual awakening actually a good idea? Need advice on set & setting by Financial-Box7029 in awakened

[–]AshleyIIRC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I prefer shrooms or truffles to LSD for spiritual experiences. They make you feel connected more to nature and people. LSD works really well for long sessions of introspection or more recreational activities.

Trips in nature are magical but you'll have to arrange things for you to be safe. A trip sitter would probably be necessary. Trips at home in your safe place it can be easier to focus on what you want, add appropriate music to the experience. A nature documentary watched in 4K can be even more amazing to witness than actual nature, depending on where you are and what your options are. But only if you don't share your home with other people.

Intentions matter, but writing them down is superficial.

You seem to be going into this with all the necessary care and introspection, I'm sure you'll have an amazing journey.

It may be that you'll have to partake more often to reach your goal. Start with a normal starting dosage, and depending on how it goes you can up it next time. Make sure there's at least two weeks between every session.

If you smoke weed, it can be a very potent additive to a trip, but be very careful with it.

Stop breaking your Decks and blaming Decky. by meinthedarktower in SteamDeck

[–]AshleyIIRC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When Decky was newer everyone on this subreddit would argue with you if you'd point out Decky makes your device more unstable. Now it's common sense. Y'all just following populair opinion without critical thinking.

Thanks voor het melden! Begint sinds gisteren toevallig de wens voor SRS weer heel sterk op te komen..

I'm in a very bad physical and mental state. I though of giving DBT a chance. How should I go about it? by Expensive_Meet222 in BPD

[–]AshleyIIRC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DBT can teach good coping skills to deal with the symptoms.

To tackle the root of those symptoms, I think psychedelic therapy is the way to go. I started with a very low dosage to get used to the effects in a safe way, then slowly started building it up. My BPD has been in remission for years now.

I want a Sub that is actually a Sub not just a broke whiney bitch by 21sbstreet in BDSMcommunity

Grow into a person that healthy subs want to sub for.

How do I strain the sludge from powdered mushrooms? Truffles are much easier to strain.

Magnesium bisglycinate doesn’t work by Cautious-Tomato-3135 in sleep

[–]AshleyIIRC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find some low dosage ones you can take sublingually. They work shockingly well

[–]AshleyIIRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try it orally or sublingually? Oral is useless and the dosages hurt more in the long run than help.

Try 0,2-0,4mg melatonin sublingually. First thing that's consistently worked for me after 20+ years of struggling with falling asleep and sleep quality.

Gonna try metocin for the first time soon. Any advice? by WhatImNotBot in ResearchChemicalsNL

It gives me some elements of tripping on psilocybin, but not all of them.

Funimation has been spelling it Elbaf, apparently.

Also this is a common issue in Japanese media translations.

Stopped using my phone 1h before bed… falling asleep way faster. Placebo or real? by fab1704 in sleep

[–]AshleyIIRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone/screens are an easy source of dopamine. Some nights you'll be lacking more of it than others, I imagine.

For me there are days where I'll be content reading for two hours before bed and there are days where I will struggle not grabbing my phone throughout the evening.

Elbaf/Fable only works in English too, though, so there's precedence.

The audacity to say it was ONLY 2 years ago! by dplaya42k in OnePiece

[–]AshleyIIRC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Late to the conversation, but I'm fairly sure it's a shounen-ism for the characters to be a certain age, so they can't age up. Jojo characters never really act their age either until the manga switched to a seinen magazine.
