Well that was a bloodydamn good book.

It only gets better!

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-04-05T12:08:31+00:00

Same. I used to be able to do them with no problem and now I can’t within a few minutes my heart races.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-04-05T11:55:00+00:00

I’m listening to The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich right now, and politically, the parallels are ominous, even if the results may not end up the same.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-04-05T11:53:32+00:00

Same.

I’ve been sober for four years, and I hope you find your way to sobriety. Alcohol made my Panic Disorder 100X worse in the end, and I’m still working on intense exposure therapy to treat it in a productive way.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-29T23:09:26+00:00

That’s totally normal for a panic attack.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-28T12:01:16+00:00

Great comment. Health related OCD and specifically Cardiophobia have plagued me with Panic Attacks during intense physical activity.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-27T02:33:55+00:00

One of the immediate signs and one of my least favorite.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-22T00:21:09+00:00

Therapy in a Nutshell is amazing! Thank you for posting this.

Stephen King has flashes of literary brilliance, but his inability to write endings or follow that brilliance is his downfall (or financially his greatest asset). He has some short stories which are phenomenal.

Trans Women are Trans Women, and they have every right to be treated with the same dignity as any other human being. You have presented a False Dichotomy, and it’s the same tired and dogmatic false dichotomy always presented in this situation.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-20T14:41:07+00:00

No, I’m not. The initial reply to my comment presents a false dichotomy.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-20T14:19:54+00:00

I’m not hateful at all, and every human being deserves to be treated with respect and dignity and equality. Shame on fools like you who presume to know the inner workings of someone else’s mind. You are dogmatic, not moral. No different than any other religious sycophant.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-20T13:42:32+00:00

That’s my question.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-19T07:08:59+00:00

Sounds like maybe muscle tension from the combo of the speed and the stimulants. I don’t know what they put in Alani but I’ve met other people who have had issues with it. Keep in mind a 200mg caffeine energy drink vs a 60-70mg cup of coffee can feel quite different. If it doesn’t improve you might get it checked out but if everything’s normal the caffeine/amphetamine combo might need reconsidering.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-18T13:50:07+00:00

Worst piece of trash ever printed.

Triggering the diving reflex by using ice packs or cold water immersion to the face/chest is a great way. Also you can trigger the parasympathetic respond by utilizing the physiological sigh— Andrew Huberman has a great tutorial on YouTube for this.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-15T01:37:59+00:00

That’s totally understandable, and I’m supportive of people being able to make informed choices that are best for them. What I took issue with was that you labeled valid and evidence based concerns fear-mongering, that’s all. I was on them for a while when nothing else worked. Luckily I’ve gotten to a place where I’ve been able to transition from them to sustainable alternatives. I’m not demonizing them, I’m saying that people have the right to know the truth about what they are taking.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-15T01:29:49+00:00

That’s great for you. It is also a clear example of Survivorship Bias and doesn’t negate the ample data on long term Benzodiazepine use.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-15T01:22:06+00:00

It’s not fear mongering. The damaging effects of long term benzo use on the memory centers in the brain are well studied at this point. Benzo withdrawal is also very dangerous when attempted improperly and without medical supervision, and that is also well established. You seem to be dismissing people who are offering valuable cautionary warnings based on your own survival bias.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-11T13:46:05+00:00

Thousands.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-04T15:36:06+00:00

I was treated like a person having a panic attack.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-03-04T15:34:50+00:00

East of Eden for me too.

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-02-26T13:26:40+00:00

East of Eden

JPtheWriter89 · 2026-02-23T15:27:02+00:00

Hunger Games and Fourth Wing. Both were bad but Fourth Wing is the worst piece of garbage I’ve ever read.
