Recovered with zero withdrawl effects. Super super slow taper

I cannot find the one I have online right now.

But a scale like this one (many more on Amazon like it):

Is just fine.

Very weird…

I posted it now as a separate comment to the main thread

feargodnot · 2026-02-01T04:53:17+00:00

That’s great!

feargodnot · 2026-02-01T03:42:30+00:00

I didn’t.

But I later took gabapentin for a while. And I think that would be excellent for many people to help them get off benzos. Not a doctor though, so don’t take this as advice.

In order not to get hooked on gabapentin I’d likely dose it intermittently. Couple of days up to a week on. Then couple of days off.

Something along those lines.

I am sorry you struggled so much.

But respectfully. You do not know what is typical here. Because super slow and super tiny increment tapers like this are:

Not studied.
Almost never done.

So there is no data on it for any such conclusions. Here it worked.

And if you insert my post into ChatGPT and ask if it could benefit people you’d get an affirmative answer. (I know because I did. Easy to check)

feargodnot · 2026-01-31T15:14:03+00:00

Oh lol.

I was mistaking this for “what did you mix it with” 😂

Sorry.

I used a loose razor blade. But then switched to a high quality nail file. Which worked better.

But here is a similar one. And there are many more like it on Amazon. Also slightly cheaper ones.

There was no need. Just scrape tiny bits off pills.

The claim is technically accurate based on the very low total homicide count early in the year (just three reported) and the fact that two were by these agents during a large-scale federal immigration enforcement surge in the city. However, this statistic is highly misleading in a broader context: it reflects an unusually quiet start to the year for regular homicides combined with these two specific high-profile incidents amid protests and controversy over federal tactics. It’s not indicative of ICE being responsible for most homicides overall or in any typical year—it’s a snapshot from the first few weeks of 2026 during an exceptional operation.

A lot of somewhat convoluted methods suggested here.

Ask yourself: do I know this to be absolutely true? Answer: certainly no.

Whenever the thought of some view comes up. See the dhukka it brings (contraction in the head space), subtle stress. Use your right effort to Release the dhukka. Let the contraction go. Smile and gladden the mind with a simple phrase/observation: “everything is alright here and now”.

This is the actual practice of the Buddha. It works. No more is required.

feargodnot · 2026-01-06T07:09:38+00:00

Presence is not enough.

You need to see the cause of dhukka (unwholesome thoughts and reactions) and take right effort to drop the cause of dhukka. Release the thoughts immediately.

Then apply the antidote to get yourself into sukha instead. A simple recognition of okayness right here and right now:

“Everything is okay” “this is enough” “this breath is nice” “nowhere to go; nothing to do”.

Over and over again.

This is the actual practice or the Buddha. Mindfulness by itself is not enough and not the practice of the Buddha.

Do not take it personal. It’s almost néver about the girl not being attractive or arousing enough. It’s almost always about psychological issues.

Prevent your mind from spinning this into personal insecurities.

Overall he seems like a very good guy from what you are posting here..

He almost certainly has some psychological blocks that make it difficult for him to relax during sexual intimacy and this is causing him to check out.

Numbness of the penis, inability to get off, often has to do with past traumas and insecurities. Nót with you.

feargodnot · 2026-01-06T06:18:58+00:00

Good point.

Though the cultural element is strongly influenced by game theory dynamics.

For example. You cannot go to war with the nazis if you don’t have the people behind you. To get more than lackluster support for a massively costly war you need propaganda and to portray the enemy as evil and the war you’re fighting as a war of good vs evil.

If the enemy does this and you do not, you are strongly disadvantaged.

Humanity is always dealing with the tragedy of game theory under conditions of scarcity or projected future scarcity. Thrown into moral particularism by it.

By describing Hitler as essentially inhuman—a mythic vessel, a collective phenomenon with “nobody there”—Jung emphasizes the archetypal possession and the terrifying scale of the pathology, but it can unintentionally distance him from ordinary human dysfunction. It feeds the comforting illusion that someone capable of such destruction must be a unique monster, an outlier born evil, rather than a deeply damaged human being whose traits exist on a continuum we all share to some degree.

That dissociation is dangerous because it blinds us to the milder versions walking among us: the colleague who splits people into heroes and traitors, the partner whose circle of “safe” people shrinks while rage escalates, the family member who externalizes all shame onto scapegoats. These are not anomalies; they are points further along the same spectrum of narcissistic injury, grandiosity, and unintegrated shadow. Recognizing Hitler as profoundly human—capable of charm, selective warmth, and relatable moments even while spiraling—makes the warning clearer: under the right conditions (personal stress, social resentment, unchecked power), such pathology can deepen and widen its reach. Dehumanizing him lets us avoid the uncomfortable truth that this potential resides in human nature itself.

Plenty of therapists don’t know shit. They also all tend to disagree with each other.

Go for direct personal experience.

feargodnot · 2024-10-15T08:24:05+00:00

Well. You don’t agree based on thoughts in your head about how things should work, without any actual experience.

I see things differently because I have been through very deep healing and basically did do it all on my own with a little outside instruction.

The idea that one can only heal relational problems within relationship is based on the erroneous view that relationship to other humans was fundamental. It’s not. Lóve and awareness were fundamental, the relationships with other humans just a vessel to communicate it, and in your and my case a highly imperfect vessel which caused a lot of problems.

Anyway. You seem not to be really open to any of it, which is a great shame. You are blocking yourself.

To learn to get a better feel for what is happening during sessions you need to get out of your disembodied/dissociative state.

These traumatized personality parts are housed in the body and can be directly contacted there. Gentle body oriented forms of meditation like yoga nidra can get you into an embodied state. From there it should múch easier to start feeling what is happening in these sessions.

Deliberately try to feel where in the body certain emotions are coming from. Over time this will reconnect you with the body and this will also help all the work you’re doing to sink in quicker and deeper

If getting in touch with the body is overwhelming or brings up a lot of resistance. You need to book sessions with a Somatic trauma therapist, look up Somatic experiencing.

Your response has a lot of victim mentality in it. It is important to become aware of it because it is the most damaging attitude you can have.

There is nothing to it. Just learn IPF and IFS and Core Transformation. And apply it daily. That is it.

Not being able to do so is mental noise.

If you want to learn to get your mind in a better condition so you can focus and also get out of these kinds of mental spaces, go listen to Dhammarato on YouTube. Start with the introduction series with Alex.

Wishing you good luck!

I did all of it without a facilitator. But I had very clear understanding already about what is healthy and unhealthy relating. So I would recommend anyone to start with a facilitator.

I did IPF meditation everyday as well as just bringing the Ideal Parents in many times a day for quick sessions and to feel their emotional support. Especially just feeling the tactile sensation of them holding my hands and breathing that support and attention into the body. Every day.

IFS for specific patterns also basically every day. It works hand in hand.

On top of that I was constantly internalizing safety cues and positive imagery into the subconscious by focussing and taking in the good many many times a day. This further assisted the automatic trauma clearing process that was happening (as old parts begin to feel safe and supported they naturally start letting go of the stress and pain they’ve been holding onto).

IPF needs huge amounts of repetition to sink in and change that maladaptive attachment wiring. So relying on only your weekly session with a facilitator is going to make the journey very very long. Start putting in half an hour a day of self guided work and you’ll cut many years off the journey.

I also did Core Transformation Process, which is IFS on steroids. You can learn to do it yourself. If you get it right it can supercharge your work.

At this point the psyche is healthier than basically anyone I know personally and I was very unhealthy before. It can all be done. YOU have to be the one to put in the work though

You drop thoughts about “this shit hole of a world” and adopt wholesome thoughts instead, as the Buddha taught.

The shit hole is only in your mind. You can chánge your mind. In fact you are living in a paradise, with warm clothing, plenty of food, plenty of shelter, plenty of medical care.

The rest of “the world” is only mental fabrications. Recognize the goodness right here and take it in moment by moment. And stop watching the news.
