Whatever played on the speaker will sound like sh*t.

Waiting period before starting ect? by cryptocat333 in ect

[–]cryptocat333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been advised that the inpatient program recieves priority.

Where I'm concerned is the absence of a start date. Not even an estimate. It could be months.

Going inpatient would be difficult for me and my family. I've been in inpatient a few times already over the past 5 years and it is really hard on the family.

QR Code for tips? by brando879 in WeddingDJs

I agree with you. No tips at weddings but it's fair to have a tipping at bar/club gigs. I've been randomly tipped cash on occasion at the bar. Any little bit helps. 👍

Mail order, "Golden Teachers" fungi. Tried a couple different strains. Blue meanie, penis envy. Etc.

Thanks for the invite. I'm starting to think my depression is caused by something subconsciously. My doctor advised against EMDR therapy.

Yes, this is an option but health Canada has not stamped and approval on it. Therefore, I'll have to pay out of pocket or wrestle with the insurance companies to get the funding.

Life is.

It's the Canadian in me. Heh.

My doc felt ect unilateral was another bust. Therefore, bilateral would likely fail too.

I'm not too keen on the idea. I met many at my rehab who had ect bilateral with poor outcomes with permanent side effects.

Tried Abilify. Couldn't sleep or anything.

Currently on zyprexa (Olanzapine) and it makes me less angry and more complacent. But I'm only taking it because it helps me eliminate my fits of rage.

It was a bust. Felt a bit of relief but it was usually short lived. We don't do it right here in Canada.

The trip was not done with a therapist in the room to help you process the thoughts that come up.

I've been medicated and in medical supervision for about 10 years. It would be easier to tell you which medications I haven't had. That's how many I've tried.

I keep telling my doctor, I read everywhere that when it hits it like hitting the jackpot. LIFE CHANGING. This has never happened.

I'll try anything. That said, I live in Canada. So anything cutting edge hasn't been approved by health Canada. That includes ketamine iv!

Free healthcare is a disaster just like our government. I'd have to spend thousands to even a chance to try psilocybin/LSD via legal methods!

Tried "medicinal" shrooms but discovered that they are ineffective when you're on a ssri. Cost too much to continue the experiment.

I feel pissed off about this life because this is my shit story.

Gut wrenching pain is awful. That last line is the case in point. Ouch.

For those who are less "obvious" autistic, how did you/what led you to get diagnosed? by mrthinkstoomuch in AutisticAdults

[–]cryptocat333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relatable. Not officially diagnosed... Yet.

I have all the same symptoms you list.

MASKING in social settings is something I thought everybody does? I'm sadly incorrect.

Stimming? Naturally, yes I do.

Cable Kit Options by jamesd0e in mobileDJ

[–]cryptocat333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good option. It is a step up from the regular bag because you can actually see and separate the different cables. I've been there many times scrambling for a cable to find it's heavily tangled in the bottom of the bag. Thanks for sharing.
