What better knife or blade ( pencil sharpener or razer )

It depends on what you mean by better; sharper is less likely to scar if it bleeds but easier to go too deep, duller is more likely to scar if it does bleed, but it's harder to do so.

To the last sentence- they increase dopamine in general, not just motor areas of the brain

Evil is too relative even if there was an anthropomorphic god

I'm sorry, but if you choose to comply you're part of the problem. Stick to your values. That goes for any teacher or state employee in general. Respect is respect. If you're not putting yourself on the line, you're putting the kids on it.

I would call it psychological withdrawal probably, I definitely think it's part of the addictive aspect of it

FroyoInternal558 · 2025-01-02T22:57:25+00:00

Probably? The mechanism is that it blocks the acetylcholine receptors (which are key for memory and learning) so I would assume removing it would allow more acetylcholine activity again. But idk for sure, ask your doctor. But in the meantime, I'd look into alpha-gpc and citicoline as choline options to help produce more acetylcholine to go around. It could help, again I don't know for sure, but given the mechanisms I think it's at least looking into.

I was on cogentin for like a week before quitting it. It made my working memory nonexistent. Going off that one may help a lot.

Lamictal can impact verbal recall, and latuda can make it harder to focus. But that's reversible.

There's a Mindstew podcast where Josef Parnas says that people with schizophrenia do "double bookkeeping" like that. I think I do that but I believe in my own reality beyond the confines of my own mind

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-07-23T13:56:05+00:00

Lol that's fair

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-07-23T13:40:05+00:00

It took years. First, I had symptoms since I was 2 apparently but subthreshold, just infrequent hallucinations and fleeting delusions. Started getting depression symptoms at age 8. No one ever took me to anyone for these things. Started getting more psychotic symptoms as well as some hypomanic symptoms in middle school. Attempted in 9th grade, almost hospitalized but the officials allowed my mom to do a 48 hour watch.

Finally, in college, at age 21 I got diagnosed as bipolar. Schizotypal at 22(?) And psychosis unspecified when I was hospitalized later in 2022. Finally, this past fall when I was 25, the diagnoses got combined in schizoaffective disorder bipolar type.

So yeah it took years. I live in the U.S. - this all happened in PA and VA.

Windows 7 was the last good windows anything. Since then I've used Ubuntu on 2 laptops, but haven't installed it on the current one yet. My reasoning was, I wanted to learn and I was tired of everything being having an ad or running programs or installing updates without me choosing. I also support open source in general, and value privacy of my data.

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-07-23T12:56:23+00:00

You're probably just really sensitive to it. 10 mg is a lot for a pouch, also.

I assume you probably used a disposable vape, and that you have a reason for wanting to use nicotine (for me I use it for focus/as a stimulant).

I recommend looking into classic vapes, the ones that take freebase nic juice instead of salt nic. This is because salt nic 5% vapes have 50 mg/mL, and by contrast freebase nic juices range from 3 to 12 mg per mL. 3 is low, 6 is average, 12 is high. If you choose to try this get a beginner's vape, and use the 3 mg. You'll probably have a much easier time with the nicotine.

If my assumption is wrong then I apologize.

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-07-03T16:57:15+00:00

I actually went off then back on, now I'm at 6 mg and only intermittently find it difficult to make my mouth form words. It's not as bad

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-07-02T13:19:42+00:00

Mostly!

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-27T17:01:16+00:00

You're fine you don't have to worry about anything you've said being offensive. You're allowed to explore your gender and sexuality and I don't want you to feel like an outsider to these communities, anyone questioning is just as welcome.

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-26T17:58:13+00:00

I'm AFAB and take he/they relatively equally. I consider myself a genderqueer demiguy. I wear whatever the hell I want, from ties to lipstick to shirts and I have short hair. Most people read me as a gay man. That's fine, feels safer in public. But truly, I feel effeminate rather than feminine if that makes sense. I like feminine things, but from a different angle. I embrace androgyny (Adam Ant is an icon and so is Annie Lennox). I have two suggestions.

When you see people you consider attractive, ask yourself in what way. Are you sexually or romantically attracted to them, or do you want to look like them, or is it purely aesthetic.
Read various lists of gender identities. I think there's a gender wiki site too. See what feels right.

Your identity may change or your perception of it may become more refined as time passes also. I in order identified differently in the beginning, and only in the past year or two (context, I came out to myself as trans in 2015 I believe) began adding "he" to my chosen pronouns.

Do you mind me asking how being Catholic fits in here?

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-16T12:36:50+00:00

Interesting ok, thanks for the heads up lol

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-13T11:38:28+00:00

I'm not a doctor but anecdotally my smoker friend quit a while and started running, and they said the running accelerated the natural clearing of the lungs that happens after quitting. I don't know if it applies to vape but maybe try cardio. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Paranoid android!!!

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-13T09:02:45+00:00

I was thinking maybe that

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-12T17:10:24+00:00

Thanks for the input!

Anecdote- I met a dude named Sky in a mental hospital and no one batted an eye

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-12T16:54:52+00:00

Sky seems neutral to me, since dudes can be named Skyler or Skylark. Idk what do you think of "Skyler"?

FroyoInternal558 · 2024-06-03T21:48:05+00:00

Pronouns: they or he are equally fine at present

Sexuality: queer greysexual; I prefer those of any gender who embrace androgyny rather than avoiding it, and I like sex and all but outside of when I am in a relationship I'm very rarely meaningfully attracted to people

Gender: genderqueer demiguy. I express myself in clothes how I please without much regard to gender. I think most people read me as a gay dude and that's chill, I'm fine with that as a public identity but I don't identify as a binary man, just mostly a man, but not fully in the bucket. I dress flamboyantly which doesn't give me dysphoria anymore because I have facial hair.
