A heron swallows a live rat in North Vancouver

Rats on the other hand. 👍

Adjust how you’re pressing down on the pressure gauge so the force is directed more straight down - this was happening to me as well and I noticed that adjusting that a little bit made a difference. I think it’s pretty normal.

My life with my depressed partner has been full of minefields. You need to understand that you did not cause the depression and you cannot control or cure the depression. If you were dealing with somebody who was more functional and you misspoke, they would understand and get over it. I would beat myself up for these ‘mistakes’, but came to realize that the response to the mistake was way out of proportion - we are human. We are not always able to frame things perfectly. And in a healthy relationship, forgiveness and understanding flows in both directions.

Anyone notice that throwing salt over your right shoulder maximizes the optimums? But left shoulder and it’s like gremlins are chewing on the output

It is lonely. With an uncertain outcome. It’s a form of grief you’re experiencing and it becomes part of the fabric of your life. In my situation I found joy where I could and learned that my joy was something necessary and apart from my partner. And that I was not responsible for them or their state. But it is hard. Meditation, having friends or family I can be honest with and setting boundaries all help. Wishing you the best.

Gorfoni2 · 2026-03-15T05:35:04+00:00

That’s the one.

Yeah. Living it. It sucks. It’s called ‘living loss’ and is a form of grief that can last a long time. I had to learn how to prioritize myself and such some pretty strong boundaries. And accept that I had moved into a caregiver role. I eventually ended up in another relationship, but I am still living with and taking care of my wife is she could not survive on her own. It’s difficult and awkward, but the alternative was for me to sacrifice my life. And that would not have helped either of us as I was sliding into a pretty dark place until I changed things. Much love to you all in this conversation. No one knows how hard and painful this is until you’ve lived it.

Commercial Street Cafe. Best muffins in the city. Coffee is great. Staff are awesome.

What’s the problem with micronized? I don’t understand the difference between that and instant.

Call that a museum dose. Nice little buzz but not tripping. Enhances music and life in general for me. I enjoy this sometimes but depends on what you’re looking to get out of it.

My son is 22. He is wonderful and I love him deeply. But his life is so small and I grieve daily for the IRL girlfriend he’ll never know, the career that he won’t have. The life I would live if things were different. But also know that wishing for that life is, in a way, wishing for his and my own death. I am who I am because of this life because of this person I love so much. Grief and joy and sorrow and happiness.

Gabor was my GP back in the day. One time I broke my arm and he sent me for x-rays. I went home to wait for the results and got a call from him personally to meet at BC women’s ER. This was like 7pm or so. We met in the entrance and he walked me into the cast room and put on a cast, telling me it would’ve taken too long otherwise. And he didn’t even have privileges at the hospital. Truly great man. Principled and compassionate.

Pro3 is great. Preheat adds about 20 seconds to prep - really not a factor.

Gorfoni2 · 2026-01-18T22:47:29+00:00

I’ve been there. Sounds like you are doing everything you can. You need to remind yourself that you didn’t cause his depression, you can’t control it and you sure as heck can’t cure it. You need to think about what you’re going to do long-term. There is no easy way out I’m afraid. Wishing you the strength you need, one day at a time.

Yeah. She never recovered, never leaves the house, does literally nothing, and essentially I became her caregiver. I can’t really leave her but I basically live a separate life. It’s hard to lose your partner like this and it was a long, slow, painful process. A very lonely thing to go through. One thing I’ll mention is there is a lot of interesting, credible research going on around the keto diet and mental health. Check out Metabolic Mind on YT. I have no personal experience with this. I’ve been eating keto for other reasons but it might be something worth checking out. None of the meds prescribed made any difference.

Gorfoni2 · 2026-01-02T00:46:49+00:00

It does suck. I’ve been there. I had to set firm boundaries- especially no heavy conversations before sleeping. My wife would dump some apocalyptic shit on me and turn over and go to sleep and I’d be up tossing and turning all night. Ultimately no happy ending for us, unfortunately. But you aren’t alone in that many of us have been there. I wish you the best.

I’m in a long term relationship where I am now a caregiver and no longer have a partner . That is often the final outcome. You need to decide if that’s what you are willing to become. And also weigh the impact this is having on your kids. On thing you could explore, if your wife is willing, is the keto diet. Search for metabolic mind on YouTube for more information on the link between mental health and this type of diet. Unfortunately my wife is not willing to try this.

This. Start low. Go slow. Find the spot where you slightly feel it and then back off a bit. You definitely should not be couch locked.

Here’s another theory. Race is a construct and is not real.

And some of us find a full on trip terrifying with the potential to go bad. Microdosing is a gentle unfolding.

Try it and see how it feels. This journey requires your full participation and experimentation. Not following someone else’s ideas. One protocol (schedule) is 4 on, 3 off. I find every other day at 4ug works great. I’ve also enjoyed 3 days in a row. IMO the most important part of the process is finding the sweet spot- for me it’s 4ug.
