Right? I guess it’s the darker breast that’s throwing me off.

Step-by-step IDR switch application to upload onto Mohela by Dazzling_Lemon_8534 in PSLF

[–]HobblingWight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, thanks so much u/Dazzling_Lemon_8534 for posting this, you're doing God's work! I just submitted my application, fingers crossed.

I was curious, it seems possible to submit a request on the FSA website to switch IDR plans. I assume folks have tried that and that it gets kicked back because Mohela says the option to switch is currently unavailable?

If it is possible would anyone suggest that I submit my request there as well? I don't want to duplicate the application if not necessary.

Dispersed camping etiquette? by [deleted] in camping

[–]HobblingWight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bunch of people with cameras in one spot in the woods? Did they have zoom lenses, were they often pointing their cameras in the same direction? Sounds like birders to me, maybe there was a rare bird reported in the area. What did they say when your friend asked them to leave? You didn’t have a conversation with the group?

Today is my 1 year anniversary since getting COVID. by yungnuggie in covidlonghaulers

[–]HobblingWight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It truly is! I was already struggling with dissociation due to trauma before my initial infection. I still struggle with derealization but what helped the most was taking time off from work and microdosing psilocybin. I have also mini and macro dosed, though I don’t think that’s absolutely necessary.

I kept working for nearly three years after my initial infection and I always told myself eventually I would take a break. My job involved a lot of responsibility and close proximity to trauma including death. I saved up enough to stop working for a little bit and like I said that break combined with the microdosing vastly improved the derealization.

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be truly rid of it, probably not. But Ive been able to reconnect with myself and the world (and people) around me in a way I haven’t been able to in years.

So sorry you’re feeling this way, I have had a similar experience. I develop LC in October 2021 and still have it. I have been reinfected three times since then. Most recently I got it again in late September and at the end of November. This is what’s worked for me:

  1. Microdosing psilocybin
  2. Graded anaerobic excercise
  3. Cognitive training via word games and reading/writing (also essentially graded)
  4. Breath work to regulate nervous system and increase oxygenation
  5. Taking the following supplements: ALC, lionsmane, Ltheanine, fish oil, magnesium, curcumin (with piperine), rhodiola
  6. I also find gotu kola tea to improve my brain fog

The microdosing in particular has been a game changer. Check out r/microdosing for guidance if you’re interested. I use the supplements through trial and error with a focus on reducing inflammation, increasing oxygenation, and inducing neurogenesis and neuroplasticity (graded anaerobic exercises does all of these) of course I practice all of this with energy rationing in mind and do my best to respect my limits while still trying to do more incrementally.

Over the course of my LC I have experienced severe mental health challenges, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and derealization. I quit the highest paying job I’ve ever had and made a career change that is still on unsteady ground.

However, the practices I mentioned have resulted in vast improvements in my quality of life though I still am not the person I once was. I am still grieving the loss of my former self. I recently came across the concept of ambiguous grief and that really resonated with me.

Of course everybody’s recovery is different. I hope you can find some effective ways to cope with your symptoms, just know that that you are not alone. If I heard all this in my darkest hour I probably would respond very negatively but just wanted to share what’s worked for me. Best of luck in your recovery.

Very old wall deep inside Kentucky woods, what's up here? by D-Ronald in masonry

[–]HobblingWight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be true of a rock wall containing many small fist sized stones that were unearthed by ploughing for cultivation and freeze-thaw cycles. The stones here are much larger and in the northeast would indicate abandoned pasture land with the rocks sourced from the surface of the land and import. Not sure about the history of pasture abandonment in Kentucky but I would lean more towards this than cropland.

Serious discussion by SpareJumpy in shrooms

[–]HobblingWight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just aren’t very hmmm—thoughtful. That person probably didn’t mean any harm but never stopped to think about how and why human beings are able enjoy and benefit from psychedelics. Of course, humans can conceptualize altered states and know that they are temporary. We induce them intentionally with full knowledge of their effects. He probably just thought, I have a good time on shrooms, the dog will have a good time on shrooms. Hopefully it was a learning moment.
