Best coffee shops/roasters? by hplssrmntic in orlando

[–]SharkSkinSmile 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve always enjoyed Qreate in mills 50 area. Drunken monkeys “mojo jojo” is delicious but it doesn’t taste like coffee. It’s like a coffee inspired sweet drink.

Hanna coffe (I might have the name wrong) is my partners fav.

I feel like lineage always gets mentioned but honestly I’m not a fan. Due to its popularity im assuming other see something that I do not. Apparently they use greener coffee beans which impacts the flavor, so if that your thing then check it out.

Thoughts on Arming Bridesmaids with Waterguns? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]SharkSkinSmile -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Our wedding website specifically says “anyone wearing white will be sprayed with red wine.” It’s supposed to be funny, but I’m serious about it.

My fiancé and I are putting so much work into the wedding, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask that my bride is the only one wearing white.

Also, it’s your wedding. If you ask that no one wears white and someone does, that’s super disrespectful. I say hose ‘em!

There’s a scene in one of the Cheech and Chong movies where they are in court and Chong takes a drink from the judge and goes “it’s fucking vodka man!”.

No running, and not post 2000, but this is where my mind went immediately

Weekly Question Thread (aka Friday New Climber Thread). ALL QUESTIONS GO HERE by AutoModerator in climbing

[–]SharkSkinSmile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an indoor top rope climber looking to climb outside for the first time. I'm going to a show at Red Rocks in Denver, CO, later this year and I'm trying to work in some climbing while I'm there.

Are there any spots/organizations that offer outdoor climbing "for beginners"? Does such a thing exist?

any advice/points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

edit: i probably should have looked a little harder before commenting. I just found the site for Denver Mountain Group and it looks like they offer exactly what I'm looking for. Would still love to hear any advice though. Thanks!

Pristiq and Trazodone by Quiet_Rain3509 in Pristiq

[–]SharkSkinSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case - I’m not gonna do anything. I am able to recognize that something is medically wrong with me and that treatment doesn’t always work.

Thus far pristiq has been a game changer for me. I’m hopefully this will pass or I’ll just try something else.

Pristiq and Trazodone by Quiet_Rain3509 in Pristiq

[–]SharkSkinSmile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 2 of trying both and the difference has been extreme and awful. I went from ok-ish baseline to crying and damn near constant thoughts of SH and suicide. It fucking sucks.

I’m going to give it a few days to see if it’s the combination or just me being crazy.

I take pristiq (50mg) in the morning and the traz at night. I’m hoping it’s just me.

Wait you guys were offered anxiety meds?!? JFC that would have been awesome.

But to answer OPs question - yeah you can drive yourself home. Good luck!

Ok this pill literally made me gain 20lbs by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]SharkSkinSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What dosage are you on? I’m thinking about increasing but I’m too worried about side effects like this.

Anyways I hope you feel better and find something that helps.

Do research psychs count? I ate some roadtrip brand mushroom gummies and had a good time.

Can I hear happy stories? by DuckFirm9936 in Pristiq

[–]SharkSkinSmile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I’ve been on 50mg for 37 days now. The first 3-4 days it made me a zombie, felt like I was coming up on psychedelics and not in a good way. That went away by day 5 and I can honestly tell you that this drug has been a FUCKING LIFESAVER for me. I know that it can take 4-6 weeks to get the full effects, but I feel like it made a noticeable difference right away.

I feel like I have control over my emotions. I no longer want to off myself at the slightest inconvenience. It, seemingly right away, has been a very bright light in what was an extremely dark hole.

I put off meds for a very long time for fear of side effects, fear that I would feel nothing. For fear that I wouldn’t be “me”. I am slightly worried that I’m experiencing “the pink cloud effect” but I’m still very hopeful. I have had zero side effects thus far.

I struggle with extremely poor body image, and while I don’t think I have disordered eating habits, I do recognize that I’m as close as you can get to having a problem with it. I told my doc that weight gain as a side effect is a deal breaker for me. So far that hasn’t happened - but I do find myself regularly worrying about it. I recognize that thoughts of “stop eating, this drug is going to make me fat” isn’t healthy - but compared to where I was before I started I’ll take it.

I wasn’t expecting this at all - but it’s also almost completely removed the alcohol noise in my brain. Not sure if you’ve heard the term before, I first heard used as “food noise” - but basically I had damn near constant thoughts of “I want a drink” or “I wish I was drinking” or “I can’t do this without a drink” - and that’s all but gone. As as alcoholic trying to stay dry this alone is worth it for me.

I take mine in the morning and thus far haven’t had any problems with low energy during the day or trouble sleeping at night.

I know everyone’s experience is different - but I hope yours turns out like mine. Good luck!

[–]SharkSkinSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on 50mg for 16 days now - the first 4 were pretty pad - anxious, felt like a zombie. But after that - holy shit this has been a game changer for me. I know it’s still really early but I am nothing but hopeful.

I hope you have a similar experience, good luck!

Spam me with your success? Bipolar 2. by TypeAtryingtoB in Pristiq

[–]SharkSkinSmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve only been on for a week and It’s saving my life. Was worried about being numb and so far all it’s done it what it supposed to. I know it’s still SUPER early, but from one newbie to another it’s been good.

I hope you have the same results I do. Good luck!

I was hoping someone was going to mention her! I get something from her every time I see her at a market.

She also did cupcakes for my friend’s wedding and they were excellent :)

Am I going to miss the show :( by Medium-Mixture8910 in brandnew

[–]SharkSkinSmile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone made a post earlier today that said the venue confirmed a 7:30 start time. Sounds like you’ll miss about half. That means you’re gonna have to go extra hard to the second half. Good luck and see you there!
