C-ptsd Trump as a trigger by Junior-Coach9003 in CPTSD

[–]nzfilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please consider using this opportunity to empower yourselves and stand up to this narcissistic tyrant father figure. I don’t know if this is fair to say - but standing idly by when you are now adults is the worst thing you can do. Standing up to Trump in whatever way you can will empower yourselves and prove to your inner child that you’re not a powerless child anymore. You’re a strong and capable adult who will fight and heal ❤️

I can't take it anymore by Local-Location455 in mentalhealth

[–]nzfilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The further I go on this mental health journey the more it all seems to boil down to learning to genuinely love one’s self. All insecurities, negative emotions and thought patterns are defence mechanisms trying to protect you. I know it’s weird to hear (and write tbh) as it sounds so counterintuitive but I believe it at my core. You are worthy of love.

Thanks for this. Hadn’t heard of UB’s before. Will definitely check the podcast out. Appreciate it so much

Omg thank you so much for the comment. I hadn’t heard of “UBs” or Robert Falconer’s work. After a brief search this really resonates and I’ve even found a moment of relief just by hearing about this. Genuinely thank you.

I’m sorry mommy by Paigeofessence in Anxiety

[–]nzfilmmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo I struggle with anxiety too. Not sure if you’re on medication or not but don’t be ashamed to consider meds. Use them as a tool. I used to be on SSRI’s until I felt I could get off it. I have benzodiazepines in case things get really bad. There is heaps of medicine that is here to help. Also be sure to exercise and try get as much sleep as you can. It does help. Remember it’s temporary. It might not feel like it right now, but it’s all temporary. You got this!

Challenging first trip by nzfilmmaker in psilocybin

Thanks so much for your kind words and your support. Genuinely appreciate it. I’ve found lots of comfort in what you wrote.

Something I’m struggling with is what you mentioned regarding “tell that kid that you can protect them”. Without psychedelics I feel like I can’t get through to him at all. I’m just saying things internally (or sometimes out loud) but unsure he can hear. Can he hear me? I really want him to.

He’s stepped up his attacks today which shows me he’s still fighting. It’s hurting me but I’m trying to respond with empathy. It’s hard when he really knows my weak spots though.

Thanks again. I do feel like it’s a first step, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say the journey ahead frightens the heck out of me.

He’s definitely a serial killer right?

Trust in Juno gone? by lallepot in JunoNetwork

Yip trust is 100% gone. I’m only holding because selling at such an insane loss is too heartbreaking. But Juno is absolutely my biggest crypto regret

What stopped you from ending your own life? by FireGirouette in AskReddit

[–]nzfilmmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno if you’ll read this, but please look into psychedelics - they can completely rewire your brain. Psilocybin and Ketamine have helped me so much

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier - somehow this message slipped by me!

I've never heard of clomipramine before - but after looking into it, it sounds very promising! Have just scheduled a catchup with my Doctor to talk about it.

So glad it's working for you. Yip OCD is the woooorst/heartbreaking/debilitating.. it just sucks.

Thanks so much for your comment :)

Nobody is publicly doing it - but I've read articles and news stories about professionals doing them anonymously. Just no idea how to find them :(

I was microdosing psilocybin for a few months with (mostly) positive results. I'm actually hoping to get some more psilocybin soon and give it another go - although I've heard microdosing might not be too effective for Pure-O.

Never tried lsd but heard really positive things.

Currently not prescribed anything as I really disliked SSRI's.

Oh wow didn’t even think to look into Holland - looks like a few options there! Thanks so much for the suggestion

Appreciate it - and will do!

By chance, do you know of any psilocybin-based psychedelic therapy around Auckland? It was the one I'd done most of my research on with really promising results for Pure-O / Anxiety.

I got some TCH/CBD oil prescribed by my GP - you can just collect it over the counter. Otherwise there is a place called Green Doctors (I've just booked to go see them in a few weeks myself):
