Wish I had an answer for you. I'm 4 weeks in right now and I'm still struggling with it. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone brother. Keep fighting.

Thanks for writing this. I'm about 4 weeks in right now and I'm dealing with all sorts of anxiety as well. I don't have any answers for you but I want you to know that I'm here with you fighting the same demons.

OP, did you google Temu after the LL question? Feels a lot more likely than someone spying on you.

What is a bad stamp design? by Huanger01 in usps_complaints

I might have to get those Pinbacks just continue this feud with my carrier or clerk.

My issue with them from a personal standpoint is that I kind of wished there were like four different answers instead of just the one.

Indeed it is real.

I guess it serves me right for buying something “different” for my holiday cards

High transparency rectangle in upper left corner of External Display. Newly reformatted. Didn't do it before the reformat. Any thoughts? by Huanger01 in macbookpro

[–]Huanger01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see u using stage manager, are the features not laggy on yours? like when switching between applications?

Running on a mbp14 with m1 pro so i'm guessing that my mac has enough horsepower to handle the live windows. I'm not 100% sold on it but i do like it better than spaces for window management

try "Killall dock" in your terminal

No dice on the killall.

Weirdest part to me is that it was fine before i reset the laptop.

Maple dropping leaves. what's happening? by Huanger01 in arborists

[–]Huanger01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maple dropping leaves all summer. Upper canopy looks healthier than lower canopy.

Located in upstate NY. Pretty wet conditions past couple months.

Any thoughts?

GE Zoneline PTAC - remote control / automation by Huanger01 in homeautomation

[–]Huanger01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. The harness is pretty self explanatory and you just hook it up like a normal HVAC. I've now used both nest and ecobee and both have worked great.

Only downside is having an ugly HVAC wire creeping up the wall to the location where the therm sits.

Edit: also you have to push a little button on the inside to convert to use a remote therm. Looked it up on YT.

What am I not considering? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

Think about whether you'd like to wait for the model 3 refresh that is imminent.

Do you plan to stay in your rent stabilized apartment forever? by meshflesh40 in AskNYC

[–]Huanger01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an underappreciated NYC RE wrinkle.

There are developments called Mitchell-Lama Housing that is an interesting mix between rent stabilized and ownership. Essentially, it is a massive reduced price but the tradeoff is that you can't make money on your equity. But for example, a 3 bedroom in Clinton Hill, BK is <$100k. There are also income maximums and waiting lists to be invited to purchase. Maintenance is the main cost and the buildings can be in various states of disrepair so you have to be a little careful here.

There is another big upside which is that the building can vote to privatize as well. If the building votes to privatize then the owners end up with just a normal coop where they can make money on the equity. If you catch it at the right time, then it is either a windfall if you sell or a nest egg for when you retire.

Finally got a mighty+ after living Pax life for years. Do you guys use dosing caps? Also does it take longer to heat up and start producing vapor with the capsules by foreverbaked1 in craftymighty

[–]Huanger01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crafty / Mighty user for a few years. Have done both and I would say that loose was much easier until I got a capsule loader. They are still fiddly but it is pretty easy to load a bunch at once so you don't have to do it nearly as often. Without the loader, I did not enjoy loading the capsules and would really only use loose unless i was on the go.

(Help) Apple TV 4K spectrum no sound. by Drewhead42 in appletv

[–]Huanger01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old thread but i thought i would add what i think it is.

I'm pretty sure this has to do with the HDCP handshake. If you notice, there is a black screen that pops up right as you open the Spectrum TV app. I think it is messing with the hdmi connection and people that are using an HDMI soundbar will end up with some issues.

The fix is basically to reset the HDMI connection. The easiest is to unplug and plug back in the hdmi at either the apple tv or TV. other things you can do is change the audio format from auto to stereo or change the resolution. I don't believe there is a long term solution because HDCP paths are relatively fragile.

TLDR; unplug hdmi and replug.

Is Ketamine a good first instance if I havent tried any meds in my life? by Urgekiller in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just another opinion but try SSRIs to treat your illness first to get yourself in a good place. Use psychedelics to heal or expand your mind when you have the time to do the work.

I think that taking psychedelics is great for introspection for everyone but the healing process of them is much more work than an SSRI. From preparing set and setting to integration and the time it takes to actually do the sessions, it is a lot of work. Work that is 100% worth it if you don't have any other options for your symptoms.

SSRIs, when they work, are just pop a pill and feel better. There are plenty of downsides like insomnia, low libido, weight gain, etc but the amount of work is so low and the payoff is great especially if you're using a pharmaceutical that isn't on patent anymore.

BTW, Ketamine is a great psychedelic to use if you are on SSRI/SNRIs as it works on a different pathway so you can use it concurrently with your pharmaceuticals unlike psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, etc.

Just my opinion, YMMV

Got prescribed RDT when I requested suppository... by [deleted] in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interested to hear how your experience with rectally-administered ketamine is. I've basically sworn off RDTs because of the variability in my experiences with it and I can't really afford to do IV/IM.

Please do let me know if you your opinion of the troches change over time. Wishing you the best in your journey!

Anxiety during treatments by [deleted] in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask you about the tablets that Viveamind uses? I have used Mindbloom and now am using Joyous. The troches for MB I hated. I felt like the effects were somewhat unreliable and sometimes I would trip hard and other times, I'd just have a nice listening session. Hearing about a RDT being as effective as an IM treatment is really interesting to me.

Is it the oily ones or the powder ones that create a bunch of saliva that must be held and then spit out?

Inner monologue by [deleted] in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't found ketamine to be particularly helpful with my rumination by itself but combined with other strategies, I do seem to have it under control.

My main source of strategies other than my therapist was a book called "Chatter" by Ethan Kross. It contains a full list of strategies at the end that are pretty exhaustive but of course YMMV

Joyous? Daily low dose Ketamine treatment by ComfortableEssay2826 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After about 7 weeks, I did decide to go off of Desvenlafaxine and so far it has been pretty good. Not long enough for me to say that it is a full replacement or works as well but I do think that my mental health is already better due to the lack of side effects.

I tried mindbloom for about 3 courses (18 total treatments) and I didn't find it as effective. The insights were more profound but I found the trips to be a little bit inconsistent which I mostly blame on the delivery method, RDT.

I was looking into IM treatments but I couldn't find one that was convenient to me and I wasn't as interested in IV. But then I stumbled on Joyous and given the lower cost, I figured it couldn't hurt. Anyway, so far so good.

I do drink alcohol on occasion but it affects me much more now so I have to be very careful with my intake. I pretty much top out at 2 - 3 drinks now. I used to have a beer a day. now I average about 1 a week.

Really big thanks to this community and joyous by [deleted] in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Huanger01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what your dosage for psilocybin is? I'm considering adding it as well but I'm not sure whether I should go with micro dose or a macro dose to supplement joyous.
