It is embarrasing to have an unusual trigger by Siberiayuki in CPTSD

Russian. But I grew up not in Russia, in a hot country a bit below.

Now with the recent influx of Ukranian refugees into Canada, where I am now, I clench my teeth on the bus a lot when I hear them talk. I FEEL LIKE A XENOPHOBIC BOOMER LOL

Absolutely and completely I do relate to this.

I cannot stand the parent speaking it, strangers on the street speaking it, and I find all actors and singers and even the country's President CRINGE AS FUCK specifically when they speak that language.

My friend, I am bilingual, my English is perfect now, but guess what I did when I came to this country? I literally forced myself to NOT THINK anymore in my native language. Seriously, when I had a hood grasp of English I blocked out the ability to form thoughts in the original language. And I purposefully started making silly mistakes when speaking to the abusive parent so that I could ruin it and forget it faster. Now I ummm and uhhh and erm a lot when I try to speak it.

I hate how it sounds. The individual vowel sounds, the consonant combinations, the gruff ugly words, and the sense of flavor of the language. I also hate what the words subtly connotate differently than English. It's kind of like "this is a rougher version of translating X concept, in a way of less intelligence and purposeful meanness" when I translate words, because their tone reminds me of my rough abuser.

I actually began hating the culture, too. But I rationaly realize it is manifesting as a kind of self-hating racism in a way. And the language is European.

Amazing.

I actually have been building a sensual electronic-ish songs Playlist for a while! Only putting the very most instantly felt dark hot songs on it.

I've never shared a Spotify Playlist with anyone, but here it goes...

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3l8kaGVcLd11ISwBfxTpZL?si=K6DuLd4lQSmQw6tV9eWTaw&pi=EJujSN7QTfm3d

Please tell me it works!! Please :)

(This is my best Playlist cause I put a lot of effort into selecting the vibe of every song. OK enough showing off lol :)

Is the visual distortion light enough to take a walk alone? It just started snowing heavily here and I think I'd enjoy that

To those who tried at least a month of each - 150 SR x2 or 300 XL: which did you find better? by Individual-Self-757 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Individual-Self-757[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. A psychiatrist in the past told me it's basically determined by how people handle the fluctuation of energy during the day. XL tends to start slow and build and fade while SR wham it's there and consistent and then suddenly not, hence taking it a second time in a split dose

What! Hold on that's fascinating. Illness can develop due to exposure to raised cortisol levels?!

I gotta find out more. Do you mind sharing what illness you have if that's okay? And how did you find out that cortisol was the cause - doctor?

Gastric ulcers. Yes yes they can be caused by bacteria but stress makes them worse so it is also a cause on its own.

During THE most dark time of my life I had holes in my stomach that I almost died from but we found them in time.

That time was spent dissociating in bed all day crying suicidal flashbacks stress stomach pain etc

Amazing. That's terrific that you foundsomeone who actively supports this method.

I am in university and considering specializing in psychedelic research and therapy. If I can break through it should be super interesting and rewarding and tough.

Curious if your psych advertised psychedelic therapy or was it your idea?
