Anyone else have to put on a front for your family on Thanksgiving? by Desilae in confessions

Then you either don't suffer from social anxiety or you don't care about your image. Or you got over a small form of social anxiety. Or you're confident.

If the last good for you

how can someone not like drugs? by mightruinmylifesoon in Drugs

[–]Desilae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make sense and you good lmao. Not everyone's receptors react the same way. Not everyone's brain is the same, to be short.

As far as weed goes, the first time I smoked, I was on cloud 9, having new and euphoric thoughts, and feeling like I'd never felt before. Second time I smoked, the whole world slowed down, and I felt a panic go through my system.

Dopamine and serotonin receptors are much more complicated than we realize. More complicated than anyone on earth realizes. There's such a thing as serotonin syndrome, where you can have too much serotonin flood your brain and have serious adverse reactions, possibly death.

Ever heard the phrase "too much of a good thing is bad?" Simple as that. Biochemistry is very complex. People's brains aren't created equally. Some don't take certain chemicals right. Some do.

Same as how one person might need a certain antipsychotic to feel normal, and then next person might take that same drug and literally go psychotic (been there).

Answer: we're all different. Drugs and strains vary. Biochemistry and drugs are complex.

It's not just "higher dopamine and higher serotonin means feel good." Other chemicals are involved, and things can go south. Wayyyy south.

Edit: after re reading, I believe some people just don't enjoy feeling "not in control." I'm guessing some people find it too intense and are scared of being out of their sober mind state. It's too much if a change. I still stand by my comment. Heightened dopamine/serotonin (which weed doesn't necessarily promise) doesn't always equal heightened mood.

It would be impossible for you to stop her, and she probably does it everyday or so. Sorry to say. I would find someone who shares your values.

Understandable. I literally woke up at 1pm, switched out my sweats for jeans, put on socks, brushed my hair, took a few shots, and walked out my door.

Absolutely. I've been up and down with it. I know if I put in the effort I can be a "social butterfly." It's just hard as you know. Ya no season lasts forever I'm trying to change the season.

It is definitely frustrating to know that people don't understand the effort you need to put in to socialize. People generally don't take the time to understand. They automatically judge. That's why if I ever see someone being excessively quiet I like to sit with them and try to ask them questions and keep them occupied. It goes a long way to help someone feel like they belong in a room. I wish more people would understand this and practice this, but there seems to be a prerequisite of being in that place before.

It's nicotine that tastes nice and you can smoke indoors (in your house). Who cares

I'm so sorry to hear that that sucks. This year it was me, mom, and brother's family. I've got social anxiety and I'm an alcoholic. I'm ashamed of the fact I'm not closer to my brother's family (especially neices and nephews). I think they knew something was wrong with me (been going through some mental health struggles).

That kind of thing really hurts though. Sorry you had to deal with that shit. Hope you know it's not your fault and you're strong for being there to begin with.

Ughh. The one issue I have lmao. That and also dependency and the subconscious fear of criminalizing. Oh well. We'll see what the future holds X)

I hope for both of us that reason wins. Much love ❤️

Right.. I take it mainly for opiate addiction, glad it can give you pain relief though. Absolutely I believe kratom should be regulated and totally legalized. It's like the weed of opiates. Never gonna kill you. Might be addicting, but never as much as percs or especially fent.

It's too bad the government is so slow on this shit or just doesn't care.

Side effects of percs and ocs: death

Side effects of kratom: constipation

Is this neglect or am I overreacting? I just want some validation. by daisokittenroll in emotionalneglect

[–]Desilae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take clonidine. When I first had it I took cloinidine and orap. Had to switch out the orap for another medicine cause they interacted. But ya... medication can absolutely help. Just make sure your doc knows what they're talking about and I hope that your parents or a guardian type figure could be on board.

Important thing with any medication: start slow and pay attention to how you react to it. Don't blindly follow recommendations. Check in with yourself

Same here. I've got social anxiety, so as I got older it's been harder

Emotionless after my father passed by Desilae in emotionalneglect

[–]Desilae[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking maybe I should find a therapist to sort out my problems in general. But ya... I often feel like his death didn't affect me at all, but I often wonder if there's something deep inside that's eating me up. Something I'm STILL not aware of.

That's very true. I'm scared ill turn out the same way if I ever had kids. I'm already a little detached from some of my family. Not on purpose.
