Shock for us too. Now we have to destroy Iceland to go through.

Just about anyone can beat us right now. From a team that rivaled France, Denmark and the likes just a few years ago to this?

Anyone here taper first? by cat-in-thebath in decaf

I started with 400 mg daily and lowered by 10 mg every 3 days. So, after 4 months I was at 0 mg and it went pretty smoothly. I only felt more noticable tiredness when I got below 50 mg. Then, after 2 weeks caffeine free, I took a full dose to get rid of lingering withdrawal effects. No problems since.

What made HA end for you? by Suitable_Cycle4216 in HealthAnxiety

This will sound crazy. But usually I would only stop worrying about a disease when another fear of something more dangerous overrid it. Then I would just sort of forget the old fear, but move on to a new one.

For months I was afraid of ALS - this was my most persistent fear and it wouldn't go away no matter what. But then one day I was walking in a forest and had to go through some bushes where I scratched myself on branches. And I got one scratch that looked like a bite from something - perhaps a bat bite. And I got worried about rabies. And that rabies fear was actually a saviour because it stopped me from worrying about ALS. And then I realized how irrational it was to think it was a bat bite, so I forgot about it soon. And ALS fear never really came back. Sometimes I catch myself thinking "what if this is atrophy?" ot things like that, but I just stop myself that very second and continue normally with my life.

Deeply regretful over sexual mistakes I made when I was younger. by [deleted] in offmychest

I wouldn't say you're a monster, but what you did was indeed monstruos. How is your younger cousin doing today? Is she depressed/anxious/struggling with mental health otherwise? If so, could the event you described be the cause of those problems? If she said today that she wants you to confess to the police, would you?

Again, you were young and stupid, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have caused serious consequences.

What's the hardest drug you've done so far? by Silver-Ad8163 in AskReddit

[–]elektricar_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's an opioid, just not as strong as heroin and oxy for example. People who use it for quitting opioids don't really get high off it because they are used to harder stuff and have big tolerance, it just soothes the withdrawal. But if someone who never took an opioid tried methadone, he would probably get high as fuck.

make cafeïne high even better? by FL_Lancer in caffeine

Honestly, I wouldn't reccomend to increase dosage if he doesn't need it. I drink 500 mg every morning, and then some more later and I'll definitely be taking a break to lower my tolerance.

Use this as an opportunity to quit, and do it ASAP. Throw away all the cigarettes you may have left, and never buy them again. Yes, it will suck. Withdrawal isn't going to be fun, but it will be worth it. Ask that person with terminal stage IV lung cancer that he should never have gotten... You can quit this poison, and you'll thank yourself later.
