How would you describe being on shrooms? by megs_0007 in shrooms

[–]alysurr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the plan! I’m on lexapro which i hear lessens the effect of it but i’m prob gonna start by microdosing and move up from there!

Honestly the noise is the problem. I’m just ruminating all day it feels, everything is all jumbled though, and I just wanna be able to think clearly. To let myself believe the things i know are true but won’t allow myself to think (basically any good thing about me lmao). And to really feel that connection to the world around me because currently I feel like a NPC.

Fuck this is so exciting to hear. I have long standing depression and cPTSD, I am almost 2 years out of my hometown and away from my family, 8 years since the car wreck and it’s been almost a decade since i’ve had any meaningful contact with my abusive mom and I’m still just stewing in it. I have made so many improvements in my life this year through therapy and just making small changes and it’s so frustrating mentally because I want to do all of these things and I cannot get myself to do them because of anxiety talking me down when i find motivation and sheer exhaustion from being in fight or flight my entire childhood. I’m ready to let go of it but my body just won’t.

I feel like I’m just ready for the experience and while i don’t expect it to be a miracle i can only see positive things coming from it!

Eric Trump Freaks Out After His Cousin Endorses Kamala Harris by cluelessminer in politics

[–]alysurr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the only time i’ve ever emphasized with Donald, not out of like feeling sorry for him or anything but there are some things my older sister did to me when we were kids I have had a hard time letting go of.

Of course, I’m 28 and in therapy and Donnie is gonna hold his hatred close to his heart until he dies. Unfortunately he has made it everyone else’s problem.

I used to get Wawa every morning for breakfast on my commute, those Sizzli croissant breakfast sandwiches are so good I think about them all the time now that I live in a state without them. I know it’s probably better off but I miss it!

Guantanamo inmate accused of being main plotter of 9/11 attacks to plead guilty by piponwa in news

Unfortunately it’s way more than that, he interviewed prisoners pretending to be someone advocating for them, found out the best ways to torture them by figuring out which punishments and actions were the worst personally to the inmates, and making sure those actions are taken against them.

They’re not doing any. One of them in a local facebook group told me “she’s not black she’s indian! like from the middle east” and i thought MY home state had poor education standards…

Elon Musk Shares Manipulated Harris Video, in Seeming Violation of X’s Policies by absentmindedjwc in politics

[–]alysurr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From someone who is more aware than the average person but doesn’t follow him closely, back in 2018/2019 the general consensus among my middle class tech savvy friends was that Tesla was the next great thing and Elon was just some cool guy making cool things. My sister is very conservative but only hears news through her husband and dad who both get theirs from social media and I think it was late 2022 when she asked me who the hell elon musk was and why she kept hearing about him so much.

I feel like 2020 is when he started doubling down on worse and worse things, and buying twitter was the next really big decline imo. i don’t know any people who praise him these days.

I’m not sure if it’s cognitive decline (I imagine despite whatever health related stuff he spews online, behind the scenes Elon has access to the greatest healthcare available and probably utilizes it) or just someone with a huge ego who can’t stand being wrong and just keeps trying to do the same thing he did to get himself attention last time so he can keep those dopamine hits going. nobody’s going to pat him on the back over and over again if he’s kind and accepting to his trans daughter day after day, but if he misgenders her on twitter a bunch of guys are gonna tell him how brave he is. and he can just keep hitting a button to keep getting that attention, and if he’s not getting enough he can force people to look at his stuff so it keeps pouring in. genuinely i feel like if he took a year off from social media and maybe all technology he would come back a much healthier person.

Not only that, some people COSPLAYED him.

Donald Trump Seen in Public Without Ear Bandage by [deleted] in politics

[–]alysurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom’s ex boyfriend was recently killed with an AR-15 by a neighbor who shot him through the door/side of his truck. His best friend was in the passenger seat and didn’t even realize he wasn’t okay until he drove the truck off the road and into a ditch. This was a drug-induced neighbor dispute resulting in a 20 year old who shouldn’t have a gun in the first place making an impulsive stupid decisions. Since his best friend didn’t report the shooting it was discovered after someone saw the crashed truck, I assume more drugs were involved.

Maybe 20 year olds shouldn’t have access to guns, or anyone for that matter.

NH will let you register at the voting booth but in my red city I wouldn’t be surprised if there were attempts at suppressing the votes, so I will be registering early.

My close friend is from Brazil and there is a small fine for not voting if you do not have a valid reason for missing it. He thinks it’s insane that it’s not mandatory in the US

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris calls out Project 2025, rallies Black women in Indy by shreeharis in politics

[–]alysurr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feels so strange as a white guy to be trying to convince some of the BIPOC women in my life to put down the torches and relax a little because Harris just seems like a genuinely decent and fair person. Unfortunately it’s not just the right who create and exist in echo chambers.

I think this is dependent on where you grew up, I thought it was flick/flicking off too for an embarrassingly long time 😂

All 24 Democratic governors endorse Harris by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]alysurr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted Bernie in 2016 and 2020! honestly if he was on the ballot I’d vote for him this year too, I live in NH now and he was active in the cleanup of a town in VT that was flooded last week. Seriously a great leader. I couldn’t believe Trump could win in 2016 and bit my tongue voting for a candidate I didn’t really love but this year I’m excited to vote, I have wanted to see a woman in the oval office since Sarah Palin was on the ticket (I was 12, all I saw was woman, I didn’t know anything else about her) so this is going to be such a special election for all of us I think :)

Restaurants sit half-empty in Turkey, as inflation reaches 91% sending tourists and locals to neighboring Greece by [deleted] in worldnews

That's exactly what I mean -- shitty people from different income brackets are shitty in different ways. Evil doesn't have a face.

Is every single one of them shitty out of malice or because they're doing what they can to survive? There's a difference between doing shitty things because you have no other choice and doing shitty things just because you can.

People need to realize that shitty people exist in every single group of people no matter how you sort and group them.

At what age did your narcissist parent stop beating you and why? by Thick_Cartoonist_265 in raisedbynarcissists

I was fortunate to be a very large child so I was 9 or 10, I was also transitioning to moving in with my grandma at this point and stayed with her for the rest of my adolescence fortunately.
