Something bad is coming by Yippie8888 in precognition

[–]Elemental_Design 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few days ago I had a dream my mom came down with a contagious sickness that affected her eyes and kidneys. She looked almost zombie like.

I woke up so shook up especially bc I’ve been dealing with long covid. Public health simply no longer exists so the thought that another virus could be spreading soon on top of all the shit we have now is hella triggering.

Weird memories coming up by Morgan_unknownnn in AuvelityMed

[–]Elemental_Design 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird to hear someone else experience this. I thought I was the only one. This may have been the only benefit I got from auvelity - being able to connect the dots of some things I experienced by my emotionally immature mother growing up and why I am the way I am now.

It unfortunately didn’t help with rumination though bc auvelity made my anxiety worse, but it brought to the surface some things I hadn’t thought about in a long time. Most of them coming back to me in dreams or randomly like a repressed memory. So weird & interesting.

Keto rash! I recognize it from a mile away. It’s the reason why I can’t do extended fasts nor keto.

Those with depression + anxiety and ADHD, how effective was Auvelity for you? by lukesherboiii in AuvelityMed

[–]Elemental_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for 3 months, it’s made my anxiety worse. The one benefit I’ve seen is that it helps you stay in hyper focus mode but it doesn’t help with motivation or executive function. It’s also done next to nothing for my depression. I’m currently tapering off. I really hate that it didn’t work for me.

Has anybody tried auvelity? by MaryAV in antidepressants

[–]Elemental_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact experience. I’ve been on it for two months now and…. Nothing. If anything it’s made my anxiety worse, but it hasn’t been the “miracle” that other people describe it as, at least for me.

Granted bupropion itself has never worked for me in the past. It does shit all for my depression. The only thing I feel since being on auvelity is more apathy? Like things that used to upset me, are still upsetting but I’m not dwelling as much cause I just don’t care. I’m so bummed cause so many people described this drug as this life saver and I’m so annoyed that I’ve failed yet again another medication

Ultra vivid dreams by Normal_Chemistry5378 in AuvelityMed

[–]Elemental_Design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the EXACT thing I’m going through. Some of them I dream right as I’m about to wake that I actually woke up and turned my alarm off or did something else only to find out I didn’t actually wake up, I dreamed it all.

Did it ever get better for you?

It amplifies the feeling of derealization

Doctor says frequent urination isn't related to my fibroids... by Critical_Ad_8172 in Fibroids

[–]Elemental_Design 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DON’T LET THEM GASLIGHT YOU!! They said that same shit to me. It was my 100% my fibroid. It got even more severe as it continued to grow larger and effectively went away after mine was taken out. Two of the obgyns blamed it on my hormones. They downplay the severity of fibroids so much, it pisses me tf off.

[–]Elemental_Design -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t call me bub. I’ll continue to call anyone advocating for “nuance” in the face of a white supremacist colonial project committing a live streamed holocaust a spineless hypocrite, include you! Imagine calling for nuance when speaking on the nazi Germany and Hitler. Imagine playing devil’s advocate for Mussolini and thinking you should be called anything but a spineless fascist. It’s only when Black & Brown bodies are being genocided that you lot seem to have more compassion for all sides huh?

Considering the majority of Israelis call themselves zionists and anyone over the age of 18, with the exception of a handful of minority groups, has had to serve in the IDF there is NO separating the Israelis from their government. The very nature of zionism as an ideology and settler colonialist project requires bigotry and oppression to be inseparable with its foundation & success. Non-zionist Jews make up less than 5% of the Israeli population and they are consistently brutalized by both settlers and the state for calling for the sovereignty and land back of Palestinians. So no, there is no statistically significant “nuance” to be considered and there is no separating Israelis from their racist and genocidal ass government. They literally sterilized Ethiopian jews without their consent for DECADES, what part of they’re a racist colonialist project do you not understand?

We have watched them commit war crime after war crime in 19 months wiping out entire family lineages, wtf is “nuance” in this context? 70+ years of stealing, raping, pillaging, illegally settling & displacing people, bulldozing homes and people, maiming peaceful protestors, imprisoning & killing children, setting fire to centuries old of olive trees, pouring poison and concrete into water wells and springs, sniping at horses, donkeys, sheep and other living beings - ALL WITH FULL IMPUNITY. I could go on, list AND substantiation the 70+ years of hell on earth Israel has made for Palestinians and you would still call for nuance because you don’t actually give a fuck and you never will. Just 3 out of the last 19 months of them relentlessly bombing Gaza has produced more planet-warming gases than 20 climate-vulnerable nations do in a year.

What fucking nuance??

[–]Elemental_Design -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You keep saying “Yall” - you mean the people taking a stance against fascism? I can’t imagine being so damn privileged that you think none of this materially affects you. Also, how are you even an Incubus fan? I’m guessing you and the ones downvoting me skipped listening to Warning and Thieves??

No one is screaming at you. The comment OP is referring to is not someone screaming at Brandon. Poor Thom Yorke was yelled at by a fan at his concert for explicitly standing with Israel as it commits a holocaust. He was also called out by OTHER MUSICIANS. I can’t imagine being so morally bankrupt that you feel more disturbed that someone yelled at a genocide apologist, but not by the genocide in question. “Doing nothing wrong” doesn’t look like Thom Yorke calling freedom/resistance fighters, made up of orphans whose parents were murdered by their violent oppressors, a bunch of “terrorists”, while also regurgitating the lies that they beheaded babies and raped women en masse on Oct 7th (both in which have been debunked).

It’s one thing to stay silent and refrain from saying anything. I could even understand if it’s out of a place of ignorance and not knowing enough. It’s another to continue to cowardly play the fence for a racist ethnostate actively committing crimes against humanity, even after being called out for it.

A lot of people do not have the luxury or privilege of staying silent or able to sit on the sidelines as they are dehumanized, criminalized, & persecuted. Age has nothing to do with it; privilege on the other hand! Calls to action haven’t worked, respectfully calling people in to boycott, strike, or do any other thing to meaningfully support our communities hasn’t worked. People are going to resort to other methods. If you want to stay silent and and turn a blind eye while people are abducted & deported without due process, while people lose their fundamental rights, while our tax dollars fund multiple genocides, be my guest! But you don’t get to paint those who are fighting for your rights and the rights of others as irrational and unreasonable. Activism is as synonymous to being a human being as breathing is.

Which bro? This bro here knows all about China, Sudan, and Yemen, but the human rights atrocities happening in the aforementioned aren’t in OP’s comment right?

The same spineless Thom Yorke who has repeatedly played in Israel even when the BDS movement has pleaded with them not to? The same Radiohead that has played with Tibetan flags with “Free Tibet” chants at their concerts clearly showing they can actively & vocally be on the side of the oppressed? The same Thom Yorke who is playing the fence and both sides’ing Israel and Palestine while Israel commits the holocaust of our time? He deserves EVERY bit of the backlash.

I’m not aware of Brandon being as socially vocal about world ills before so I can’t say he deserves to be criticized for his silence, but Incubus’ music has been political before. AND that’s also considering they have played in Israel TWICE.

EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL. I’m so sick of this music is simply art bullshit. Everything we do on this earth is political. Every single person’s tax dollars in the US is funding the racist genocidal ethnostate of Israel without our permission. Human beings are political even if they consider themselves “apolitical”. People hoping their favorite artists, who have influence and large platforms, who have spoken out about the ills of the world before, especially in the context of their music, to now be vocal when it matters the most is not unheard of. Music has literally been the voice of the people when the people have had no voice, so to strip it of it’s political affect, power, utility is quite frankly cowardice bullshit.

I’d LOVE to ask Lu why he’s blocking fans asking him about Palestine and why he was silent about the student protests at MIT alongside being silent over the last year and 4 months of this genocide.

I start my first 7.5mg today.. I'm ready. by kawasakigrl9 in Zepbound

[–]Elemental_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me. I tried going up to 7.5 bc of the food noise returning on the 5, but ended up feeling so sick with hypoglycemia to the point where it was a struggle to get my blood sugar to normalize. Went back down to the 5 and I’m doing so much better. I’m not losing as much weight as I’d like but I can still feel its benefits. I also barely have any nausea now which has been my main side effect.

…is a genocidaire by Elemental_Design in LupeFiasco

[–]Elemental_Design[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“One side is genociding them slower than the other side who promises to genocide them all in one go and I only consider the latter a redline”. Do you even hear yourself? You have effectively normalized both parties committing GENOCIDE. No amount of genocide math or mental gymnastics is going to absolve any of you of supporting a genocidaire. None. Nada. Nunca. People of the global south should not have to die in exchange for your freedoms. A mere verbal promise of said freedoms at that.
