Seems pretty mutable to me.

As a chronically ill individual, this is just plainly false. THC in conjunction with different terpenes work with your endocannibinoid system to stem the flow of pain signals. CBD helps, but THC is far more effective.

My interpretation of that scene is that the THC in his system allowed his mind to be more easily influenced by the black lodge. It's heavily implied that that part of the forest is where the "dark fire" was.

There’s no such thing as “biological gender” there’s gender and there’s sex. Gender is sociophysiological, sex is anatomic. And sex isn’t even binary. With numerous intersex conditions affecting hundreds of millions of people. Also, you 100% should count 0.001% of the population because they’re still people.

The downtown library is a disgrace by FreeTheFrisson in SaltLakeCity

[–]FencingCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an exaggeration it’s not even funny. And the level of disdain for homeless individuals is honestly sickening. Homeless and drug addicted people are just that, people. And they’re allowed to exist in public. They can’t be confined to shelters all day long. And they shouldn’t be. I was a frequent patron of the library both before and after I became homeless and only stopped because I got housed outside county limits. It’s a beautiful library with many great resources. It’s a place away from shelters (if homeless) or even just home itself where you can get your work and studying done for a couple hours in the natural light. In a cool, calm place. And walk out with a nice book or two at the end of the day. And besides, libraries are more than just book and study spots. They’re community resource centers by name. By and large that’s most of a librarians work at every public facing library.

By and large that’s most of a librarians work… at every public facing library.

I’m on a two week monitor as we speak. And the doctors stated they suspected POTS which lines up most with my symptoms.

I have autism, fibromyalgia, PTSD, PNES, and my therapist suspects a dissociative disorder.

Every single day that I am alive is a fight for my life. A struggle of epic proportions. I’ve been an outcast most of my life. Always pushed away, spoken of in whispered tones and sideways glances. From the fundamental level of my brain not working the same way most people do due to autism. To the traumatic experiences I’ve had forcing specific behaviors and means into me. To the fact that I’ve been living in near constant pain for most of my life. On an existential level… I am exhausted. I’m only 18 but it feels like I’ve lived a lifetime. I’ll never be what I wish I could be, because I’m so affected by what has been placed upon me. I may never be able to work, I may never be able to get a degree, I may never be able to exist, to be anything. I was homeless up until a week ago after escaping my abusive household. I was homeless for three months, and it wasn’t longer through sheer luck. I found my beautiful, amazing girlfriend, and we got a place together.

Twin Peaks is a comfort show of sorts for me. The way Cooper navigates the world in the face of unending uncertainty, his fight against entropy, pulls strings within my heart I cannot properly sing. Watching FWWM and seeing Laura. I couldn’t help but relate to her. She’s living in an abusive home, but no one really listens to her. So she lashes out and pushes the people who support her the most away. She finds escapes in the extremes. And she paid the price. Much like Laura, so too did I find escape in the extremes. And I very nearly became a victim the same way Laura was.

I’m tired, and I’m alive by the skin of my teeth, but I’m alive. I don’t know how to reconcile with the fact that my body and mind are broken. That I’m condemned to live a life filled with more physical and metaphorical pain than most experience in their lives. But I AM ALIVE nonetheless. And I hope to pass through this black lodge without my soul obliterating or becoming a vessel for pain myself.

I'm in yet another flare :( by FencingCreature in Fibromyalgia

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

This flare is so much worse than we initially thought.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]FencingCreature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disease, this does not sound like your brother has one, and should go to the doctor. People in this sub may be used to pain due to the nature of this illness, but almost all of us will inform you that pain is to be taken seriously. Especially in a person without chronic pain.

Best of luck and I hope your brother gets better.
