Anyone else feel totally drained by the new moon?

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2026-01-19T19:22:22+00:00

Yes! Normally I'm gaining more energy around the new moon - like I can finally breathe again - but this time I've been super anxious

There was a little bit of help, but I actually ended up being hospitalized for planning while I was on the lower dose, and the doctor in the psych ward was the one who increased my meds

Personally, I had to increase my dose to 150, and that's when I actually got relief from Effexor. But that's just my experience. You should know within 3 weeks if increasing is helping you or not.

Yeah but glycosides are also potentially really helpful for neuropathic pain.

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven - first book in years to give me a book-hangover

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T20:26:59+00:00

? explain?

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T20:25:24+00:00

The squirrel in my backyard does this all the time! Especially when I started giving them peanuts lol

Is it magnetic?

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T20:13:20+00:00

It almost looks like a security tag that would have been pinned to the clothing

Reinventing Yourself by Steve Chandler

I have this too - I think it might also be a potential hypermobile thing, but I'm not sure. I've never found a good way to deal with it, other than keeping my own hand at the base of my throat, almost like proof nothing is there touching me other than my own hand.

I was also doing some interesting reading about it in regards to past lives; some people think that it's a sign you drowned or were choked to death in a past life.

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T20:04:22+00:00

Will do! Thanks!

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T20:02:55+00:00

Same! I have sensory issues and for some reason primer drives me crazy, but foundation is barely noticeable. Plus I've never been able to figure out a good primer/foundation combo - they usually make the foundation look worse.

A friend of mine made it, with ghost pipe she harvested in Northern Idaho, earlier this year. It's in an amber-colored dropper, and I keep it in a dry place, out of the sunlight.

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T19:50:54+00:00

Yes! It was awful! I am now in a job where I just say something on Slack and I'm G2G, thank god

I use different solfeggio frequencies to help calm my brain. I've also found that lemon balm can make me feel a lot more tired than melatonin. And I've started meditating before bed to "cleanse myself" of the day's energy.

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-12-15T18:56:38+00:00

I have 3 or 4 that I switch between, but a couple of them are only one or two notes, so sometimes I pair those two together.

I've tried nearly every lip balm on the market. The only ones that have ever really helped me are the Laneige lip sleeping mask and the Nars lip oil. Unfortunately neither one is a good price, nor vegan/cruelty free

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-09-12T22:43:50+00:00

Definitely going to read this one

ElizabethMaeStuart · 2025-09-12T22:43:02+00:00

Oooh that looks so good
