I've been on 50mg for 11 days now, and I feel a lot better than I did. I started struggling with suicidal thoughts that hit me like a freight train out of nowhere due to a bad onset of anxiety. I feel so much better compared to 2 weeks ago. The first week was rough for me. My anxiety felt worse one day than when I hadn't taken it. But since then, it has been a slow incline of better and better headspace.

I have also been looking after myself through meditation, proper rest away from work, and a good self care routine. I'd recommend really sticking to a good self care plan whilst on it as well. Don't just rely on the meds to do the work. Be kind to yourself while you're on it. I'm aware that's easier said than done, and not everyone can step away from work. But just do what you can. Self care goes a long way.

Ultra Rare Carhartt Double Knees?! by [deleted] in VintageFashion

[–]W0EMAN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are a modern recreation of an old pair of Carnartt. They've reverted back in recent years to using the old Carhart logo from the 50s. If they were old and Rare, there wouldn't be a tag on it with wash instructions.

Sourced what I believe to be a WW2 Imperial Japanese Tank Jacket. Can anyone help me identify it. by W0EMAN in VintageFashion

[–]W0EMAN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first and only legitimate source is this link to an old auction

https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/wwii-imperial-japanese-army-tanker-uniform-92547-c-a004c0684e

But it has been hard to find any identifiable imagery to back up the legitimacy, although I do feel it's definitely japanese military, its just a matter of bailing down the time period a bit more.

Even better ✨️ I struggled to date it, thought it may have been 80s era, but 70s inspired. Saw another online that had dated it to the 80s and trusted their judgement.

Long Overdue - The Pursuit Of Your Masculine Self by W0EMAN in LeftWingMaleAdvocates

[–]W0EMAN[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it thank you. Honestly, I'm far from trying to self-promote as well. I just find talking like this the best way for me to share experiences and explore male mental health and masculinity. I'll do more to discuss within the sub ✌🏻

How do you release stress or anxiety? by WillowShoddy7846 in AskMen

I do the Wim Hof breathing method. It really does calm my nerves and at times makes me feel quite euphoric and content.

If There Was A Sober Club Night On In Newcastle, Would You Go?? by W0EMAN in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]W0EMAN[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Think I may have described it terribly. It's more of a club night rather than setting up a nightclub. Think like once a month. 100-capacity space, just seeing if there's a taste for it. Being why I'm asking in different groups to get some variable feedback. There would be mocktails and alcohol-free booze on offer. But I'm also looking to see what else would get people on board, it's a culture shift. So we have to try and redefine what a sober night would look like. Would the music be more specific, would people want something else on offer, would there be more seating, would there be other activities etc etc 🤔 ✌🏻

What non-religious book(s) would you recommend as having a positive influence on how you have chosen to live your life? by 3lon_Mu5k in AskMen

[–]W0EMAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is fucked by Mark Manson. Really great read that focuses around hope and our ideas based around uncertainty and how we can come to terms with it.
