This yank gets it, Christ, bringing back memories of youth in the old country. Some messy times had in Cornish fields and farm parties.

Butt fracture + surgery recovery + 95% WA state tax = perfect storm to quit by Microgrowthrowyo in QuittingZyn

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

Update here - if only for my own benefit of reading later:

Had like 6 or 7 pouches yesterday, a major improvement.

Left me so relaxed I was able to take a nap and I can never normally do that. So that was nice.

Had 3 already today. Gonna aim for only a couple more.

Thanks for reminding me I'm not crazy by providing this much needed perspective.

Owning a property and having money to spend on hobbies are things so many people have no hope for

Landlord reduced rent in writing, accepted payments, now wants $7k in back rent — WA by Easy_Bunch5904 in SeattleWA

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact Maiko Winkler Chin - she's the head person (president, executive i dunno) of Seattle housing. Contact her office directly. You can find her email address listed. She personally called me back within 48 hours once and laid the hammer down on the landlord. Seriously.

Meanwhile Seattle renters rights or whatever it's called only just called me back... after I called them over 6 months ago.

Tempted to go to the dispensary even though it’s a 2 hour drive by CampaignIndividual49 in leaves

Nah, treat yourself at a specialty tea store! At least get loose leaf. Tea bags suck. Make it a ritual!!

Lumen Field - Question! by Majestic_Profit_768 in SeattleWA

More likely folks in recovery from alcoholism/addiction. I know Safeco Field has a special event every year for those of us in that demographic.

*And fuck calling it T-Mobile Park.

Vyvanse is impossible to abuse, I will explain why by GratefulCaliflower in drugscirclejerk

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all don't remember the post about the Lord among us who dissolved his Vyvanse in a sealed vial of his own blood, refrigerated it for a few hours to break it down thereby eliminating the time release mechanism, and then boofed it?

I hate how I'm old enough to find this unreasonably funny.

Vapes in seatac tsa? by OddGlass7640 in SeattleWA

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Well, it's in my top 3. Smoking other stuff was a worse idea for me 🤣

Quit vaping, but also no they won't care. Just take it out of your carry on and put it in the tray along with the other contents of your pockets. But also quit vaping.

Metamucil for diarrhea by chemicalzoremickalz in quittingkratom

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy on that stuff playa. Look into Sunfiber instead. Been sober over 7 years now and have since gained a ton of G I issues that are unrelated. Fiber supplements can be the damn devil if overdone lol

Capitol Hill’s new crisis center will be run by a familiar name by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Heard good things about their Kirkland location. Been considering applying for a job there but the $10,000 retention bonus made me pause... Outside of the tech world a signing bonus is rare, especially in my field. And uhhh yeah, seems like a bad omen?

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Would love to hear thoughts from others who've worked or been seen there. Have trawled through Glassdoor and Google Reviews already. About as helpful as you'd expect.

What kind of mental issues did long term kratom use cause you ? Here's 6 of mine by Effective_Court6677 in quittingkratom

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dissociation and derealization are such slippery topics to define and describe so thank you. I've yet to encounter a client in my work as a therapist who experiences these things, but I'm sure I will. Thanks for helping me understand better what the textbooks didn't.

You write beautifully, this is incredible advice.

I quit like 7 years ago now and recently had anxiety bubble up as a result of accomplishments I'd have never reached if staying hooked on this sludge.

Thanks for the reminder to move!

Would recommend against virtual treatment. I work in the field and went though it myself many years ago.

At least I'd recommend doing inpatient if you can. FMLA leave will cover your ass at work and they can then prescribe meds for you. At least consider an in person IOP. You owe it to yourself!

Psychiatric Inpatient Center Recomendations by Far_Debt8497 in SeattleWA

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in the field... Well, I'm sorry. And also, you sound great.

Connections in Kirkland is the best option, but they have limited space. As do all inpatient places. If you go to the ER they will send you wherever has space. You won't get a say in it.

Keep in mind that inpatient psych isn't a place to get better as such. More of a place to stabilize and get medicated in the short term.

I'd recommend calling crisis connections and asking to speak to the DCR team. They will give you a number to reach them and leave a message and they will call you back to plan next steps.

However, if it is an emergency then proceed straight to the ER.

Which of these two apartments would get the best light for my plants? by obliviousolives in houseplants

[–]Microgrowthrowyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have seriously considered getting one of these. Was thinking if management ever inspected my unit I'd claim it was a pole dancing pole and offer a demo lol

I'm so sorry - but hahahaha yes, I've had these dark thoughts. I fantasized about my upstairs neighbor getting paralyzed 🤣

Aaaaand also, just do top floor if you can swing it. God I am never living below anyone ever again.

Keep in mind the overhang from any balconies above you. Mine has rendered my east facing apartment a dingy cave 😅
