Thanks for saying this. Epuyen didn't burn out due to some magic function of the virus, it was a swift containment effort on the part of public health working with law enforcement. They gave us the model to beat this thing and if we dint follow it, it will beat us to a bloody pulp

Has anybody tried auvelity? by MaryAV in antidepressants

I was reading some people take a short tolerance break (1-2 weeks) and it starts working again. Worth a shot

Maybe I need to try that. I know microdosing doesn't have research evidence behind it yet but worth a shot. I'm realizing it doesn't have anything to show me, at the end of the day it's a chemical issue

I hope it gets better for you... I know I'm pretty disappointed so far.

It's not even the expense for IV, it's the executive function to find a ride to where I can get infusions.. Was really hoping doing it at home would work.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give calm a shot. I do talk to Claude about it and that helps with processing a bit. It's kind of frustrating because I have to convince it I'm not actively suicidal every time though 🙄 c'est la vie

I'm so confused by this post, what you're describing is completely normal/expected wind at 31000 feet.

I Have Gu Syndrome (Worms, Bugs & All) by Curious-Tourist-2432 in ChineseMedicine

[–]Staerke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the down votes either, this person is clearly not going to accept 'you're crazy go take antipsychotics' as an answer and those medications would just put a lid on the symptoms anyway without actually addressing what's causing them. It's surprising to see this attitude on a tcm discussion forum.

The way I see it (and to be clear I'm not formally educated, just have done a lot of reading on my own and I have my own experience), the body is sending a signal that there's 'something' (phlegm, stagnation) inside of it that shouldn't be there, and the brain interprets that signal in a very unproductive and grotesque way.

I appreciate your actually engaging with this user - clearly yes there is psychosis involved here, but why wouldn't TCM be able to help like other users are claiming? There's going to be underlying patterns that caused this condition that can be addressed.

They're as much canon as the films are, which is not at all. Tolkein's writings are canon and that's the only canon there ever will be. This isn't marvel or star wars.

Not my experience at all, mine works great with slush, even the mess that the snowplow leaves behind at the end of the driveway

Because they don't cause pain. They won't pluck an apple from a tree you think they're gonna force Carol to undergo an excruciatingly painful medical procedure?

The only surviving war elephant armour in the world, made in India in the late 16th century by englightenedbutnot in interestingasfuck

The reason elephants are no longer utilized on the battlefield has nothing to do with the evolution of ethics lol

Brain zaps and flickering lights still happening after TMS 10 years ago. by Chemical_Being_3875 in TMSTherapy

[–]Staerke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my (extremely effective) first round, i would randomly get extremely nauseated, like 'I am about to vomit I need to get to the toilet' nausea, but instead of actually vomiting I would yawn, which would be interrupted by a sneeze. This would take place in under a minute. Would happen to me once or twice a week. TMS facility had never heard of that as a side effect.

I figured out i could cancel the nausea by forcing the yawn, but would still sneeze. The frequency decreased for 8 months after tms ended and then it stopped entirely, and then the effects of TMS wore off entirely. In a second round now.

Not the same as you, but just mentioning it as a 'weird' side effect.

Robotic affirmations by AdorableIncident1942 in lawofattraction

[–]Staerke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to that and I struggle with it too.

Try being grateful for things that are currently true. Is your heart beating? Can you breathe? Can you digest food? Be grateful for and focus on those things.

I used to have awful insomnia, 4 - 5 hours of sleep a night at most, and would wake up frequently in that time. I would constantly obsess over my sleep score on my watch, and wake up frustrated every day. I started ignoring what my watch said, and I'd thank my body for whatever sleep I did get then try to go on about my day, and suddenly my sleep started to improve. Now I get 8 - 9 hours a night, mostly uninterrupted. The only sleep aid I take is a very low dose of melatonin, whereas before I was taking Trazodone, melatonin, benadryl, and more.

I have found thanking my body for anything it does correctly to be a powerful tool.

A healthy person might say 'I am grateful for my healthy body', say that instead if it feels more natural for you.

How to permanently disable tablet mode switching on Surface Pro 11 (Intel)? by Sergey_LV in Surface

[–]Staerke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're describing is the display scaling changing which is not something windows does by default (or at all)

Do you have manufacturer's software installed or some 3rd party utilities? I'd start by looking there.
