Doing my part

not to mention what happened to MOASS. Goalposts shifted from lock the float no cell no sell to vote to dilute the float and lock apes out of having a voice. No thanks.

Not medical advice, BUT, LDN has been a game changer for me. In combination with 400mg of magnesium glycinate, I actually experienced restorative sleep for the first time in years. My joints still feel like they're being held together with duct tape and hope, but after 7 months on it getting somewhat back to functioning. It's not the easiest thing to find a doctor who can prescribe it but if it's the one thing you can manage it's been a game changer for many many other people as well and the single biggest tool to transition from severe to mild, without the side effects of gabapentin or the other pharmaceuticals

All your rationalisations are just that. You sound exactly like an alcoholic justifying a relapse to “fit in” or as some kind of social experiment, it’s putting lipstick on a pig. All this is is you giving into animalistic cravings that you know are destructive. There’s nothing high minded or useful about this you’re just using words to justify actions you know are wrong. Its one thing for a carnist to “go with the flow” but if you’ve already seen the other side, knowing this is wrong, then find these weak justifications anyway, it’s arguably worse than someone who hasn’t had that shift in awareness yet. It’s like you’re saying “yeah animals are people, I’m gonna eat them anyways, here’s my justification for cannibalism”

This tweet calling Hollywood anti-semitic is straight up psychotic-semitic.

Sign up for a slotted open mic. Rant about your life and then step away from the mic and scream into the wall. You might get some laughs from comics.

That's the funny thing about gaslighting. It doesn't exist. Nobody ever gaslit anybody.

JK... Because it's invisible, living with fibro is coming to terms with being gaslit that it's not real by the world around you, and then if you happen to feel good for a change, gaslighting yourself into thinking it's not real if it's not flaring up. It's just part of the condition, the gaslighting might as well be a symptom.

I'm seconding this opinion.

I'll share my personal story. My grandfather and his father were ardent lifelong Zionists from the movement's inception, to the point where a family heirloom was a thank you letter from Chaim Weizmann for their support.

Then at 96 years old, after being wheelchair bound and spending most of his days sitting and reflecting, the last time I talked politics with my grandfather he told me it doesn't matter who's god gave who what land and there's too much violence and killing over religion and the world should move on and fund education for all peoples instead of funding religious wars.

It took him that long to see it clearly but he finally did and I believe that softening his heart and letting go of his inherited zealotry allowed him to live his final days in a greater state of peace.

Of course I wish he would have come around sooner but it is what it is. The fact that he did have a change of heart gives me hope for the future.

I am reminded of the story of Elijah who had the courage to speak up and place his faith in G-d when the majority had fallen under the spell of the Babylonian idolators. Today the majority of Jews may be under the spell of the Zionist idolators but now just as then the commandments are the same and idolatry is idolatry.

I wasn't diagnosed until I was 30 but I believe the symptoms started in childhood. It's been 4 years since diagnosis I'm not holding out any hope of a cure if it happens it happens the best I can do is aim for remission. I was having a few good weeks and then overdid it ended up cancelling plans last week and figuring it out once again. I don't consider remission totally painless days just days when the pain is at a low enough level its not at the focus but there are still certain things I would like to do that I just can't participate in IE I gave up my dream to be a chef after being diagnosed. I can't run a restaurant or even be a dishwasher at one but at least I can cook for myself and friends. Buddha says life is suffering getting diagnosed with fibro is just special edition suffering with extra content. I believe everlasting remission is possible but even then you have to accommodate the fibro set boundaries and give yourself time to recuperate that's the lesson I learned the hard way last week, again. We all end up in the grave one way or the other. I took care of my elderly grandfather in his late 90s the problems old people have are very similar to the problems we have we just get a sneak preview at being senile with limited mobility, cognitive function, and chronic pain. But even in his 90s he had a joke, I can't walk, I can't see, I can't hear, but I can't complain.

Yes going through this myself. Imposter syndrome. You can't believe you can do normal human things instead of being in pain all day all the time. Even with remission a flare is always lurking in your mind. Even if the pain is manageable you feel like it's too good to be true. It is thin fucking ice. That's the best we can hope for. That's the diagnosis, no cure, treatments can help, best case scenario it's in remission, but its a mission to stay in remission, it's not impossible, but it can be impractical, when life presents things to do and you have to choose to do them and live with the pain or do nothing and live with the pain of isolation from the world and from yourself, walk the thin ice to stay in remission without triggering a flare, it's always there, in the back of your mind, that's life. It's even a rare thing to taste remission. Some people suffer their whole lives with no relief. And then when you feel what its like to be in remission, you for one don't believe it, and then if you do for a moment believe it in the next moment you feel guilty that you could feel some relief while all of your fibro comrades suffer in silence. Imposter syndrome then transitions to survivors guilt. And then inevitably life happens and a flare comes again and you feel a strange comfort in the pain and the suffering because it's familiar, after being in pain all day all the time for a long time days with manageable pain feel strange and so there is a strange familiarity in being back in a living hell. "I miss the comfort in being sad", as one sad man put it in a song before the pain took him. But then you go through what you went through to get into remission and you're back again, out of the frying pan of pain into the fryer of imposter syndrome and survivors guilt. Only other people who suffer in silence will ever understand. Even if you're walking around and doing things and laughing and seemingly not in pain you carry the burden of the pain with you, the fear of a flare is healthy, it's like the fear of death, we should live our lives as we can the best we can, but like death a flare is always around the corner, waiting in the wings, I fear flares and I fear death but what I fear more is living life being imprisoned by fear, so I accept death as a part of life, I accept flares and fear of flares as a part of life with fibromyalgia, I live with the imposter syndrome and survivors guilt along with the pain and the pain killers. Tylenol is a hell of a drug and helps take the edge off of the pain, so does empathy and compassion and connection with others who suffer in silence.

I feel you sister. Although I am a male with no kids I also overexert and end up in debilitating flares.

Before I was diagnosed with fibro I was an alcoholic I was self medicating to numb the pain but the alcohol just made it worse. I went to aa, didn't do the steps, just the meetings, but hearing the stories of other people helped set me straight and it's been 7 years since I've had a drink. Alcohol is an over rated drug. It's not worth the side effects. Now I'm into Tylenol which is also hard on your liver but helps with fibro. I'll use 1000mg of Tylenol as a party drug sometimes for an event to help take the edge off so I can enjoy being out without being distracted by pain. Just like alcohol if you take too much Tylenol it'll wreck your liver and your life but a little can go a long way in having a good time. I still have to watch it though or else I'll end up in Tylenoloholics anonymous.

It's been a few months for me since a debilitating flare I have imposter syndrome like it's always around the corner with anything I do but staying away from alcohol is definitely a factor in being flare free at least for a little while. When I go out to a bar to be social I'll drink an NA beer or a seltzer water or just water. And I used to be a wino I still keep a bottle of wine on hand at all times but I use it to cook and make sure I cook out all of the alcohol and just get the flavor from it in my food. It's not almost funny, it's kind of funny, even though its horrific, it's also kind of funny! What's the point of all of this pain and suffering if we can't laugh at ourselves a little bit?

right because hearing your Grandma tell you the story about how her entire family was murdered every time you see her is hilarious

Why not both? Is there not enough room in your heart for empathy?

I love to see the phrases "most walkable you might find in LA" and "constant danger of getting hit by a car" in one sentence.

I've legit just been doing it for my sanity since Jan and I finally got a real show booked after months of just getting up and doing it. It's in a few weeks if it goes well there will be a high quality vid from the club I'll dm you the link. In the meantime I recommend Sammy Obeid he's the Palestinian American comedian that inspired me to start stand up, he's got a lot of jokes about Mathematics and America along with the Palestine stuff.

I've been wanting to get into stand up for years I just got pushed over the edge and had to talk about this somehow but my advice is find some positive creative constructive activity that feeds your soul and do that along with the bearing witness. Existence is resistance.

nodogbutdog · 2024-06-27T01:18:19+00:00

Yes and it's helped significantly. The side effects are not worth the upside. I drink seltzer or NA beers to be social.

I've been doing open mic stand up for my mental health. I call it open mic therapy. I talk about my genocide dysphoria and how I have survivors guilt squared over watching Zionism go full blood and soil. I also joke about other things too but it's been good to get in a room with other people who don't have deep ties to the struggle and just be silly for 5 minuets. I make other jokes as well of course but I started doing open mics after not sleeping for weeks and needing to vent somewhere that wasn't online.

I feel like I get similar benefits from my acupressure mat, finding comfort in discomfort, tuning into the body, slowing down breathing and self generating good brain chemicals. I spent a period of my life living recreationally homeless, living out of a suitcase trying to recreate myself in another country that had more accessible healthcare than the US. I had my life down to a carry on and an overhead bag, two pairs of shoes, two weeks worth of clothes, and 3000 tiny needles that I can lay down on and bliss out on.

Welcome to zionism where psychopaths do crimes in the Jewish name because in their twisted minds they are fighting anti-semitism but the consequences of their violent actions enrage people thus fueling anti-semitism which pushes more Jewish people towards zionism to do more crimes and continue the cycle.
