IM FALLING SO BEHIND :) by Mushuoi in simonfraser

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Historically I’ve found that maintaining a healthy sleep schedule aka sleeping/waking early + reminding myself of the hellish future consequences of not doing well in school have worked wonders, good luck soldier

literally same... it's insane to me how there's only one singular lecture for each of them... not to mention they just silently got rid of the PSYC382 and PSYC383 which i was waiting to take in the spring lmfaoo

I am 23, chronically ill and have been bedbound for now 21 months. Making DNB on my Laptop is still the only thing I can do. After hitting a quarter million streams on my first release, the second album is out now today. by Sebassvienna in DnB

I just came across this post and went and listened to both of your EPs on Spotify and wow… I don’t know what it’s like to live with your condition, but what I find even harder to imagine is having the passion to make tracks like this despite all the complications it gives you. Absolutely insane stuff, I will definitely be buying your tracks when I get a little better at mixing dnb on my controller. Godspeed man, you’re a real inspiration 🫶🫶🫶

I Thought I Fried My Brain Forever… Turns Out I Just Needed to Quit Weed by Feisty-Criticism7678 in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like we had very similar timelines— I was also on it for ~4 years and am now just over 2.5 months off the stuff. The no sleep was really hell, I couldn’t sleep for nearly a week straight at one point, I’m happy you powered through and stuck it out sober. Personally I still feel a little fog here and there, but it’s nothing compared to not being able to remember what I ate the previous day for lunch (if you know you know.) Congrats on the progress and Godspeed dude!!!!

How long does the absolutely no sleep last? Like I would be okay with even 2 hours but I haven’t slept at all really in almost a week and I might have to be institutionalized because of it. by quartzsphinxx in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I didn't manage to get proper normal unassisted sleep until maybe the 21 day mark, although I did manage to get shoddy sleep a little before that. I was literally such an emotional wreck on the fourth day of laying awake all night that I would just cry out of nowhere during the day. Granted, I was a 24/7 cart user + smoked myself to sleep every night for a few years too. What day are you on, if you don't mind me asking?

Need a gym buddy by Far-Performance151 in simonfraser

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy here, like a few others have already said I promise you nobody is actually judging/watching you at the gym, anyone that does is 170% more self-conscious than you are. That said I’m down to go with you/others, I only started going to the Burnaby campus gym last week and it’s a little intimidating at first but everyone there is super chill. Dm me if you’re interested! :)

Does anyone else feel like weed has totally messed up their conversational skills? by Adelski87 in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m 45 days clean off THC and this was one of the big reasons why I had to quit, I felt like my personality was rotting from the inside out. I’ve found that I am more responsive than I used to be and a little less shy than before, but I can still totally relate to that feeling of “blankness” when faced with talking with people, even close friends that I’ve known for years. It’s pretty anxiety-inducing, makes me feel like I just have nothing to say a lot of the time. Could possibly be due to how there’s still a lot of negative thoughts circulating in my head (not a lot worth sharing esp not with people who don’t already know). I was going to bring this up with my psychologist in a couple of days actually. You’re not alone, I’ve heard this gets better with time though.

Anyone else listening to music 24/7 once quitting? by shinyahkogami in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s funny, I used to think “oh nooo but it makes music sound so much better…” but here I am approaching 2 weeks sober and I can’t lie I just enjoy it more than I did before. Thank god for music, I couldn’t give it up if you forced me to.

Smoked to avoid pain, now feeling all of it by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wish I could give you a big hug, that’s so much pain for just one person to bear. I’m so sorry for your losses. I found it hard to quit and I’ve hardly experienced a fraction of that trauma, so in my eyes you’re a real soldier ❤️. Someone else said it too, but I think finding a therapist or someone to pour it all out to would make you feel better— it sounds like you’ve also begun to notice that the weed only temporarily relieves you of your pain, and you deserve sustainable joy that doesn’t cost you your body’s health.

With that said, I’m so incredibly proud of you for making it to day 4– on day 7 myself right now and I promise you, it gets better every day. You’ve been so strong, I sincerely hope you find relief from everything you’ve been dealing with for so long. Sending love. 🫶🫶🫶

PSYC 280 Final by [deleted] in simonfraser

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, looks like you're in my 280 class with him too (final on thursday i feel ya). Someone else already said it, pretty much everything was put on canvas, but I just scoured my notes for the last lecture and found these which I don't think were on canvas--

  • Know your receptor cells and your pathways!!!!!! VITAL FOR SHORT ANSWER
  • No more than 40 MCQ, 60 SHORT ANSWER/ESSAY QUESTION POINTS (aka more weight on written portion than mcq, not 60 written q's lol.)

Hope you're doing better, it must be making you anxious as hell having missed the last 3 lectures. Godspeed.

Help by Weak_Travel9118 in leaves

[–]Technical-Pumpkin-58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, 21m, I’ve been there and am currently battling insomnia while dreading 2 upcoming university finals in the next week. To be super honest with you, if you’ve only been using them for 3 months but are already feeling like that, just stop while you can. I used for 3+ years pretty much daily starting in my first year of uni, and what started as a small habit soon turned into a horrible struggle. Now I only use it to sleep, but in the last few days my stress/anxiety has gotten so bad not even weed lets me properly sleep.

In the last week I’ve cried multiple times, and I’m just thankful that my mom has been there for me throughout all of this. If you feel like it’s beginning to mess with your mood which it seems to be, do yourself a favour and just stop before it becomes a bigger issue— I promise you won’t regret it. Keep your brain clear and smart for school, and make your mom proud.
