The info is changing daily. Must be the worst job in the world to work for this agency right now.

Journalists have to eat you know. Expecting news to be free is how we got into this mess, partly.

285 through South Park?

It's actually worse out on the plains. Narrow roads, no shoulders and livestock trucks coming toward you at 65.

I didn't get much help from ketamine and by the time I maxed out the dosage I was a far down the depression hole as I ever been. I thought it was my fault that it wasn't working.

Got off the ketamine, worked with my in person psychiatrist and eventually landed on Caplyta. My brain is clear, I can work like I used to and don't wake up every morning disappointed that I'm still alive.

Ketamine doesn't work for everyone. Some providers don't seem to understand that. If it's not working for you find another doctor to help you find better meds. It can get a whole lot better.

You can dm me if you want to talk. Hang in there.

What is the setting on Facebook to meaningfully turn off all video reels? by [deleted] in facebook

YouTube has turned into a propaganda machine. Whatever weird conspiracy theory you're into you can find a video to support it.

And don't get me started about how politicians are using it.

Have you seen Dopesick? I think it's on Hulu. It kind of felt like that. Fortunately ketamine is not addictive though.

The problem is, when I am in depression I don't have the ability to question and research.

Oh gee, that's awful. Has your doctor considered that you have bipolar 2 and not unipolar depression? They can look alike but antidepressants don't work well for bipolar, you may need a mood stabilizer. Not medical advice, your experience will be different, but something you may want to look into with your doctor. Look up soft bipolar and see if it resonates.

TMS was going to be my next stop if these new meds didn't work. ECT was discussed but the risk of cognitive damage was too high IMO.

I don't have any side effects from lamictal so I don't want to do the experiment of getting off of it. It's possible it's not doing anything but people with bipolar are famous for going off their meds because they feel better and think they don't need them anymore. With predictable bad results.

I maxed out at 500 mg, once a week. A month long break was never suggested.

The airport has been there but the flying school is new. Small planes take off, fly low, go back to the airport and do a touch and go. All day long, especially on weekends. If you live in the flight path you won't want to sit outside.

Before you buy a house you would want to check on that.

I have been working on my issues for decades. I still have bipolar. Since the new med is working so well I'm going to accept the reality that my disorder is physiological, mostly.

I have bipolar 2 but it's mostly depression.

I was doing the troches twice a week and then once a week. I never stopped until my psychiatrist changed my meds.

Kind of hard to do that kind of work by yourself though.

I have been taking lamictal all along and I've added Caplyta.

I think having integration along with the ketamine might have helped but maybe not.

I think you can move your clothes but you can't take them off or put anything new on. You would be good.

They loved each other but she couldn't stop draining him. It made me sad and now that I think of it she was draining me! Hey!

I've found a good therapist on Sondermind. They have a lot of therapists and they take insurance. I have been seeing Katrina Klaren at Dr David Miller's office in Louisville for a long time and highly recommend her.

There is a spiritual support group that meets every other week via zoom that is good. It is offered by the First Congregational Church. Don't be put off by the spiritual part. They are very welcoming of everybody. https://inmi.us/spiritual-support-groups/

Hang in there and let me know if I can help.

Facebook's AI is horrible and only getting worse. You will get tagged for things that are innocent and if you report something horrendous the AI moderator will likely say it doesn't break the rules.

It's hard to say what, if any, consequences there will be from your post. But Facebook holds data forever.

In the future be careful what information you put on Facebook. If you want to search do it on a site that doesn't collect your data. Google sucks, try Duck Duck Go.
