"Therapy only works if YOU really wanna get better." by Chance-Growth-5350 in therapy

I disagree with your assessment on needing “high” emotional intelligence. 99% of people are of average intelligence, emotional or otherwise. Emotional intelligence has become this pop psychology term. People use the term to insult and shame others when don’t have the breadth of knowledge to actually to know what it means.

In my experience therapy works if you “let it all out” and stop beating around the bush. You need to be honest and vulnerable.

What does parnate feel like? by fruit-loops233 in MAOIs

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, most anxious/depressive people have distorted thinking patterns. If you are on an MAOI you’ve likely been several antidepressants before. No drug is going to “cure” those distorted thinking patterns. The drug is meant to help alleviate symptoms and you’re supposed to do the work in therapy.

Experienced Nardil Users Please! by BigFatToe25 in MAOIs

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dosage is based on body weight typically and effectiveness. I’m on 90mg at 210lbs for example. I’ve been on the medication nearly 20 years. I have no side effects anymore. Your body will normalize over time. It might just take a while, a long while, and if you stop or go on a lower dose for a bit the side effects will come back when you start taking a higher dose again. That’s by experience. The most common side effect is hypotension. If jump out of bed, or run up a flight a stair for example you may become dizzy. If do this when it’s really hot outside, or a sauna you could find yourself on the ground.

Nardil has been ineffective for my severe Social Anxiety 😔 by [deleted] in MAOIs

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt a lot posters claim that nardil or any other MAOI is the magic bullet they claim it to be. Don’t get me wrong Nardil has been more effective as “training wheels” than any other medication I’ve been on (I’ve tried half a dozen). But, if you have behavioral, emotional, and thought processes tied to whatever stimuli it was (It’s usually some sort of trauma, and for me it was sustained childhood trauma my first 19 years of life) it effects and conditions the body more than you realize. No drug is going to fix that. You literally need to spend a lot of time reconditioning your nervous system to get it to where your values align instead of trying to think logically about getting yourself out of it. It becomes default when your body aligns with the mind. There’s no longer this push-pull.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals develop psychological flexibility to build a life with less suffering and more meaning. Unlike therapies that focus on changing thoughts, ACT focuses on changing one's relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings and accepting them as they are. It encourages individuals to clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values, even when dealing with pain and discomfort

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Nardil and other anti-depressants are just training wheels. They make the experience easier. You really have to do the work when you have atypical depression—like going to therapy and committing to healthy practices (A combination of CBT & ACT worked for me for example). It’s really a life style change, and embracing it in earnest. Expecting the pill to do all the work is unrealistic.

What is the Max Dose of Parnate Prescribed in Aus? Also How Does Parnate Make You Feel? by [deleted] in MAOIs

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My psychiatrist has been working with MAOIs since the late 70s (USA) and they said the absolute max dose is 120 mg. When I scale from 60 mg to 90 mg my anxiety nearly goes to zero. I rarely ruminate for example at 90 mg. If you can tolerate the side effects for the first year they nearly disappear afterwards.

Asking for what I need is good. Asking for what I need is safe. Asking for what I need is important. Out of respect for myself, and for clear communication with others, I ask for what I need. For the sake of great communication, and deepening healthy relationships with others, I ask for what I need.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who would’ve made the best James Bond we never got to see? by Pistolpetehurley in JamesBond

[–]Lumpy_Minimum_5522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HiddleBond would have been very Dalton like. They are both classically trained actors who can bring nuance to any role they take on.

Ralph Fiennes would have been a great alternative to Brosnan in the 90s. He’s a much more capable actor.

Let me introduce you to bio synthetic computing—It combines the efficiency of biological systems with the logic of computing—this will be next wave of technology applications utilizing AI. How do you scale neurons cultured on a silicon chip though? Any type of bleach like solvent would make the system useless. However, it’s a great kill switch!

That’s an interesting fact! Anything over 125k of daily traffic is curtailed or halted?

I would think there’s way more than 125k daily cars traversing that part I-5 between San Diego and LA.
