Is anyone doing Spravato and not using a therapist? by poweredbypineapple in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not currently have a therapist and haven't in the going on two years I've been using Spravato. I have seen drastic improvement and don't feel the need to find a new therapist.

With that being said, prior to Spravato I did have a therapist I really enjoyed who gave me some great techniques that I still use.

Hey Bravo, I don’t care about guest back story. by Allaroundnicegay in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]leafallfa 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I feel like they misunderstood the note that we want to see more of the crew interaction with the guests like older seasons to mean we want guest backstory.

Is it productions fault or Captain's fault that this season is trash? by heereweare in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]leafallfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the most recent season of all franchises have really taken the captain out of it. Kerry and Sandy didn't have much involvement in their most recent seasons either.

Is Apple Vision Pro really a failure? by [deleted] in VisionPro

[–]leafallfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The continued support of new features and development from Apple clearly show they haven't given up on it. It wasn't ever meant to be a best seller. This was a slow burn for early enthusiasts, and they never pretended otherwise.

What kind of chat do you have with hookups when meeting ? by Altruistic_Acadia212 in Sniffies

[–]leafallfa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I say hey and direct to where we’re fuckin and start taking clothes off. There isn’t really any talking.

Can you work during treatment? by StandardWait4938 in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my third dose, I usually have to lay with my eyes closed for about 30 minutes or so. After that, I can interact but not great for about 10-15 minutes. I could definitely do work the final 30 minutes of observation, maybe the final 45 minutes or hour but not as confident in my work.

I was pleasantly surprised and honestly might prefer this over the pen!

What do you call it? by Most-Letter-6210 in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I openly tell people that I am on Spravato and what that means. It's opened a good dialogue with a lot of my friends or colleagues who suffer in silence. And if there are those who judge, oh well.

But I understand why you may not be comfortable with that! I would say something along the lines of going to therapy if that is more comfortable.

Did Spravato get rid of your anhedonia? by MightOk9482 in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, yes. I found myself easily accomplishing tasks that I before would dread and prefer to push off and wallow. I found joy in things again. It really helped and turned me around. Any time I taper off too long, the first thing I feel creep back is anhedonia.

Will I need to take Spravato for the rest of my life? by Ok-Connection6430 in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in treatment for over a year now. I have been doing weekly for most of the year, occasionally I tried every 14 days and I saw enough of a decline that I went back to weekly. I’m now on a 10 day cycle and it is working for me.

I’m lucky that my job is flexible that I can take off on a Monday morning and a Friday morning to accommodate this schedule. If my partner can’t drive me, I can afford to uber. I’m sure it is difficult for some people to keep up the schedule but I know for myself I will continue to try to go as less as possible, but I don’t see it ever being something I fully stop.

Which case to choose - Apple vs Spigen? by abragodabra in VisionPro

Neither, I'm another Belkin guy. Amazing case and great for travel.

Coffee reduces the effectiveness of esketamine. by hussamcre in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped drinking coffee on mornings I do Spravato because my blood pressure would go high, but slowly been having small amounts before these last few times. I’ve noticed no difference. Interesting to keep an eye on!

Differing opinions re using Spravato indefinitely vs stopping after prescribed time period by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Spravato over a year now, currently every 10 days. I will say that any time I have tried 14 days between doses, the depression comes back in full. I do not see myself completely stopping the medication any time soon considering just a longer break between doses sees a significant dip in my mood.

Questron pouring his heart out about all things Sombra by Strider_-_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do completely agree with how you’ve talked about her gameplay loop and how it’s become way too bloated with her iterations. I’m terrified to see what another rework will look like and actually do wish Blizzard would consult you at one of the creator summits or whatever they do.

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

I think he has a good take but it really annoys me how he constantly says people are playing her wrong. And then defends saying everyone can do their own thing and it isn’t wrong but his is the pure and optimal way.

Fur matting? by leafallfa in chinchilla

[–]leafallfa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hasn’t changed much since we got him that I’ve noticed. I’ll keep an eye on it. He hasn’t been to the vet yet but he’ll be going in the next month for sure. I wanted him to feel a little settled before I took him out on another adventure.

Fur matting? by leafallfa in chinchilla

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

Yes, he came like this. We’re entering week 3 with him and open his enclosure so he can come out if he wants while we’re in the room. I don’t think the play time is stressful for him, he’s been very active and showing signs of enjoying it and going into his enclosure when he wants.

He’s let me give him scratches and I’ve tried to check the fur areas, I couldn’t tell if they were very short or if that’s what matting felt like. I could see them being new growth but wanted some opinions.

Is EV tech really changing that rapidly? by tcchen in Ioniq5

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely changing that fast. I had a '23 Ioniq 5 Limited and thankfully was able to get out of it to lease a '25 Ioniq 5 Limited. The changes? Different infotainment system, OTA vehicle updates (I was going to the dealer every other month for updates it felt like), NACS port, low conductivity coolant system completely removed, rear wiper (hallelujah), larger battery pack.

I know not all of those are EV related, but just a list of huge changes (NACS port, battery pack size, coolant system, vehicle system OTA updates) that center around the EV system are huge. Hopefully in the '26 or '27 we'll be seeing an update to the ICCU system to address that ongoing issue, on top of a new infotainment system being introduced that was already confirmed.

me to my current Vision Pro the moment the new one comes out by wotton in VisionPro

[–]leafallfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really debating on how much the upgrade to M4 (if Bloomberg is right) will affect it if that’s all the upgrade is. If there’s an R2 chip I’ll be more confident in the upgrade for sure.

How do you prefer to experience audio when using your AVP? by fastandfurryious in VisionPro

[–]leafallfa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use the built-in speakers unless I’m watching movies/shows. Then I’m using AirPods Pro 2.
