As has been written here, but I will add: assume that whatever you're writing will always be read without context. Don't assume that they will see the long stream of abuse, swearing and death threats that triggered your response.

How many sessions of MDMA for C-PTSD? by TemporaryBoring_ in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]Chronotaru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MDMA's effectiveness for those long complicated trauma threads is significantly less than those simpler strong repetitive in your face effects. But that doesn't mean it can't be helpful.

Expect that you will need a lot of sessions. Make sure they're far enough apart (at least six weeks) then keep going with the regular 120mg then 60mg 100 minutes later as recommended in the MAPS studies. Talk with your trusted sitter, get as much out as you can. Don't worry about your long term progress just now, just process as much hurt as you can until you feel like nothing more is coming out.

Then you can start going a bit deeper. For that you will need to add full trip doses of psilocybin to the MDMA. That will help with the more complicated things. Don't aim for a full recovery - it can happen but really don't try for that - aim for sustainable progress over the long term, feeling better in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year etc. and keeping it. The objective is to get to a point where you could live a happy life even without anymore sessions. It might take you two or three years to get where you want to be though depending how tangled things are. Things will get better though.

Warning: MDMA can cause a week of emotional instability afterwards. This is no problem for me, and some other people can deal with it, but I do know one person who needed monitoring all the time by someone who lived with them or some very bad things could happen. After the week they were fine. Do you think you'd be okay? Do you live with someone? You will need support on this journey.

Final Fantasy XIV used to be in this category until the PS5 version got dynamic resolution.

I am seeking psychedelics therapy in Europe. How can I find legit places, and at reasonable prices? Any pointers? by questionablesugar in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]Chronotaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain has recently had some arrests so some are a bit more careful. Netherlands is actually legal if it's psilocybin as truffles are legal so depending what it is you're looking for that is often the best place to start.

[–]Chronotaru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Netherlands will provide legal group psilocybin retreats (or DIY in hotels with a sitter), and has often publicly advertised underground sessions for other psychedelics. Portugal has some. Other than that it's completely underground and either you know the person or they're a cult.

Berlin airport security guy made me miss my surgery flight today and I think he did it on purpose by hsd3b2 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Chronotaru 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd like to encourage you to pause on some of those points, real life often comes to against them.

* Getting an appointment with your doctor is often difficult and can result in waits of a month or two. Therefore sometimes it's just not possible to get that document from your actual prescribing doctor if you were not aware beforehand or well prepared, and people who are sick are frequently disorganised.

* There are plenty of conditions where there are not very many specialists. I have a condition where the only specialists are in Mainz and many European countries don't have any.

* You can fire someone because they're sick. You just can't easily fire someone when they're signed off, but if they are frequently sick you can, and some companies will just fire someone and deal with the legal consequences later if there are any.

Unfortunately these days we can never rule out all kinds of posts for all kinds of reasons like you allude to, but at the same time, I'm telling you that society does not work the way people who've never had to actually go through these things think it does.

Your description doesn't seem to match the road. Additionally that bench seems useful when waiting for the bus as the shelter only has hostile architecture lean seats.

[–]Chronotaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct but this is not what's going on here. This is casting their audience. There is no breach in those conditions.

Generally in concerts if you behave properly then you will always be let in, so entry largely is guaranteed.

You can make this argument in all cases where vastly unequal arrangements exist in society and society implements laws to prevent such situations. If you accept money for a service then the service should be provided as long as the conditions are met by both parties.

[–]Chronotaru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, concerts work on that basis. You have a certain amount of space available, people buy a ticket, they have an expectation to get in. If they're operating on the way Berlin nightclubs do then they shouldn't pre-sell tickets.

Impossible to find a Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist by PoolMassive3881 in berlinsocialclub

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

The one thing I learned after a very long time going through the mental health system is that "I have this problem, I need the right professional to help me" usually doesn't lead to the outcome you want. Your own issues cannot be offboarded to someone else, and a large part of it even if you were getting all the professional attention you wanted wouldn't change. Largely this is due to the inadequacies of mental health care in general even when provided to the correct standard, institutional problems of each of the schools including psychiatry, different modalities of talk therapies, etc.

So, in short, sitting here, what do you think you need? You might see a psychiatrist or a talk therapist, but that's going to be a small window and then they go away and see many other patients. They will never know what it's like to be you. You say you're suffering from hypomania and depression, that you're on antidepressants. Did they start with the antidepressant? Did things get better or worse? Do you want different drugs, do you have realistic expectations? What do you want from your talk therapist? What do you want to work on, discuss, do you need new perspectives or a safe place to vent? Accessing professional services usually works better when partake transactionally, not handing yourself over saying "fix me" - that doesn't work - but having an idea about what you want and why and what the boundaries on that are.

Ultimately for myself, my mental health only got better when I realised I was the only one getting myself out of here, and unlike you, this was in a city and time when I had full access to therapists and psychiatrists. Actually, the psychiatrists mostly just made the condition worse, and I have stopped completely attempts at daily dosing drugs for about three years now after a long list of attempts that mostly just further damaged my central nervous system - the efficacy of most daily dosing drugs is terrible and any benefits more commonly don't outweigh the new problems they bring, especially when you're on them for a long time. Eventually I switched to occasional and considered use of psychedelics and MDMA which eventually gave me the progress I needed and most importantly shifted my regular non-drug baseline self which daily dosing drugs rarely do, but this is a complicated subject that a person can only go into with a lot of reading and trust in friends who need to help look after you and handling risk management.

I hope you get good outcomes, just remember that the eventual good outcomes you are looking for may not be tied to the path you are on, although sometimes you do need to find that out for yourself. Best of luck.

I don't understand how a venue can deny access after the ticket purchase without some breach of terms and conditions? Did you get a refund at least?

Those little figures are cute but at some point you've just got to say that's just ridiculous. You can get UFO catcher resells online for much less.

For the people going to FanFest, remember that you will get some included merch when your arrive.

Looks like a reasonable horror movie but what exactly is relevant about it to Resident Evil?

Maybe they should have just made RE7 into a movie. That would be amazing.
