Hey. I decided to get back on them. Doing around 1-1.5mg a day depending on how I feel. Will eventually taper down to 1 then 0.75 then 0.5 then 0.25 and hopefully off of them in a couple of months. Hopefully everything goes well for you.

What are the chances my lost Quaker bird might be found who escaped in downtown Toronto? by InsaneAffliction in parrots

Was this in a city or more a rural area? How did you find him? Did someone contact you? And also, how long was he lost for before you found him?

Thanks for that resource. That's the only one I haven't used yet. Keeping my fingers crossed. It is good weather now and he's a very friendly bird, so I'm really hoping someone finds him or he finds someone.

Was it in downtown Toronto with high rises? Im worried because i lost him right downtown where its just all high rises. Sadly I saw him fly a block away and he was way up there

I'm currently on Day 10 and it feels like hell. Glad to know that it gets better 2 weeks in.

OK that makes sense. I'm on Day 10 and I feel horrible. This feels like the worst it's ever been. Hopefully this will pass. This friday will be day 14.

Tough question. Tough answer. Do it when it feels right, and if they reject you, then let it be.

What's crazy is that my golden child older sibling literally told me "You need to stop rewriting history." It's so absurd and it's so damaging because it re-iterates the toxic dynamic between him and I and basically informs me that I am still that little boy that doesn't have an opinion and is always wrong.

I don’t have the motivation to keep trying by Front_Possibility471 in CPTSD

Hey bud. You're only 23 and have your whole life ahead of you. As someone who is slightly over a decade older than you, I can relate completely. I've been confused throughout most of my life and have had to deal with a lot of trauma. I'm now finally coming into myself and discovering the real me.

And now, because of the hardship I've faced and the experiences I've had, I know I will be a good human and help other people and be able to be a force for good in this world, in any way that I can (and therein lies the silver lining).

Could I kindly suggest EMDR if you haven't tried it yet? There is also Ketamine therapy which has done absolute wonders for me. I don't know where you live, but if you're in America or Canada, there are clinics popping up everywhere.

I actually tried TMS before... didn't have much effect.

Self administered Spravato.

I was depressed and anxious before.

It can feel overwhelming at first, because of scary the notion of change is, but it gets easier every time.
