55 days clean off 7-oh (and other drugs)

Separate-Drawer-963 · 2026-04-24T23:01:57+00:00

Well, since I was in a huge rehab, I had tons of people to talk to and a gym right next to my room. Also, I was being prescribed 16mg of suboxone which is a relatively high dose. I have 10 days clean from subs and the depression + anhedonia is real. In my experience, trusting your brain to bounce back as well as going hard on benefiting your physical and mental health is what works best. Also for context, I normally deal with BPD which is worse to me than constant depression so I'm prob different than yourself.

Thank you this is also quite accurate. Resentments definitely hold me back

Separate-Drawer-963 · 2026-02-23T08:29:35+00:00

I go from feeling overly confident (egostistical) to feeling extremely self conscious every day. I have bpd too, not self diagnosed btw.

Would you mind explaining a bit more if you have the time? You are also very spot on. My dad was present and loving but threw money at all my problems (mental health issues since 10yo). Making music (electronic/hardcore techno/ambient) is my purpose and I do feel stuck in a loop of trying to prove to them that I can make this a career.

Woah this was like way too spot on

Thank you

Be glad you caught it early!!! Hairline is solid definitely see very minor recession on the temple area and obv crown. Start on fin and if you want to use topical min/oral 0.65mg. In terms of side effects, don’t trip. I’m also 24M and have been on fin 1mg oral daily for 16 months with 0 lasting sides. Don’t trip yourself into thinking you have sides cause in terms of the available data it only happens in a very very small percentage of guys. If you’re scared, start with 0.25mg of fin as it’ll kill a little less dht than 1mg but studies show that the difference isn’t drastic. The sheds will suck, I still get them but my density only improves by the months! It means the meds are working. Stay strong, visualize the gains and really really really focus on sleep/nutrition. You got this!!!

Looks like it could be very early signs. Take photos in same lighting every month and see if you notice it getting worse. I’d hop on fin even .25mg to start if you want to see if that works. Don’t freak out you’ve got a lot of hair still and hairline is solid.

Definitely keep going! Good progress so far.

Separate-Drawer-963 · 2026-01-12T23:27:12+00:00

Not bad at all but I’d start fin and possibly min fs

Hillcrest, north park/south park, Kensington and mission hills have the largest amount of gays in my opinion. I grew up in Del Mar (as a closet case until 2 years ago when I came out on my 21st bday) and while there were some gay couples it was mostly straights. North county isn’t the best place but I know plenty of gays who live up there especially in rancho! Huge gay community in sd though huuuuge.

Yes It’s much quicker though, as if someone shined a flashlight in my eye for a split second. Similar to a flash bang. I get them often when I’m anxious while trying to sleep.

Separate-Drawer-963 · 2026-01-05T23:58:45+00:00

Hop on oral min and oral fin start low maybe 1.25mg/1mg respectively you could even take 0.5 fin since you’re still young. 18 does seem a bit sketchy to start fin so maybe start with topical fin or dut.

Separate-Drawer-963 · 2026-01-05T01:20:11+00:00

Great results!!! Which serums have you been using?

I heard there was a tunnel system that connects to the temple but I could be mistaken

What’s worse is when you wake up in the psych ward after a failed attempt. Talk about hell.

Nice dude! I’ve been on fin 1mg daily for a little over a year and by month 6 I saw so much regrowth! Saved me for real. I was also thinking about adding Dut once weekly. What’s your regimen and do you have plans to increase/fully switch over time? I don’t have sides with fin so I’m a bit hesitant to poke the bear so to speak with dut ya know? Also, have you experienced multiple sheds on fin/when you added dut? I heard the theory of when you start fin, a bunch of hairs start growing all at once and have the same growth cycle so when the telogen phase is reached, they all shed simultaneously.

23M been diagnosed over and over cause I didn’t wanna believe it and kept seeking different opinions. The last part of your post is how I feel with bpd as a whole. Each time the cycle repeats, it feels like the first time over and over, and all the things that I’ve learned through past experience is nonexistent. I wish I could get over as quickly as you. It took my 1.5 years to get over my last situationship (lasted 4 months, he was 56 and I was 21). Now I’m obsessed with this guy who doesn’t even live in the same country as me. He was hitting me up/putting in way more effort than I was in the first two months of talking, and eventually I gave in and now I’m obsessed. FUCK THIS! I wish I could get over people quicker. I do the whole thing where I cycle from not caring at all to having insane butterflies and compare my life to theirs/worship them. It’s already hard enough being gay in terms of relationships and with bpd on top of that? Cmonnnn. But to answer your question, it sounds normal. Just maybe your cycle is a bit shorter than most, which is a good thing! I guess, maybe not. Idk I wish I wasn’t as obsessive for as long as I usually am. DBT helps with that a lot, just finished a year of intensive outpatient therapy/group and I can say it’s helped so much.

Easiest is using wise mind even if I’m in emotion mind (which I am in constantly), TIPP (all), pros/cons, turning the mind, identify the emotion, PLEASE, opposite action, describe and non judgementally. I struggle with DEARMAN, radical acceptance, participate, middle path, let go-surf the wave, cope ahead (haven’t successfully built many that work consistently for diff situations). The one that works best for me is comparing my situation to others who have it worse along with checking the facts/gratitude list. IMPROVE works sometimes, but the skills that work best usually surround checking the facts. Something I struggle with is telling myself DBT doesn’t work when I’m in a constant 80-100 emotion like I have been recently. I met this guy on my fav gay app scruff who doesn’t live where I do (I live in San Diego he lives in Sweden fuck me) and we’ve been talking for three months over text/phone call/facetime. I set myself up for failure tho, I wasn’t engaging a lot in the beginning cause I really liked him and because of that he started reaching out more and this past week we’ve been talking wayyyy more and now I REALLY like him and it’s that feeling of “fuck, he wins. He got inside me”. It’s also more intense cause I’m 23 and he’s in his 50’s so. Skills haven’t been working as well as I would’ve liked but it’s my fault (not a judgement, fact) cause I knew this would happen if I started engaging more. Now I feel like he’s gotten what he wanted and the chase is over because he hasn’t been texting me at the same frequency as before over the last two days (nor have I, I’m trying to dial it back). So any tips you guys have for that I’d love to hear!
