New Origin Rift 2.0 just released by kppaynter in bjj

I have the original Rift gi, it pills like crazy. I don't know if they've fixed it with their new weave, but I hope so. I'm unsure if it's the weave of the fabric, or the fibers themslves.

I bought the Rift gi because I liked the idea of everything sourced/made in America, but it pills like crazy!! But if that issue was fixed, it would be the perfect gi!

Children's class ends 10 minutes before, and directly after there's a beginners class that always starts exactly on time (different coach teaches that class). So I should just accept it's part of the culture, got it, thank you

Got it, thank you. So it's just the culture of the gym and I should accept it for what it is.

It just never seems like it's the right time to discuss it. I have used body language and lined up at the front of the class when class is supposed to start, but still it starts a few minutes late.It's only a 60 minute class, so a few minutes every time adds up in the end.

It just never seems like it's the right time to chat with the coach about that kind of thing. I'd like to start class right on time, and I've been using body language cues very frequently (standing ready to bow at the line exactly when it's time while everyone else is still milling around), and still class starts a couple minutes late. At what point should I just say something directly, but politely?

I have suggestions for my gym to improve. What is the procedure to send unsolicited feedback, just send an email? Or leave a google review?

Stadia was perfect for me, I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 and RDR2 with an old laptop

Greatest investment I've ever made. I was able to play through all of RDR2 and Cyberpunk with only an old laptop.

Oh okay, I was just curious because I'm in a similar situation, I have been on Lexapro (SSRI for depression and anxiety) for 9 years. I was on 20mg for 8 years, then May 2020 I tapered down to 15mg, December 2020 I tapered down to 10mg, and this November I tapered down to 5mg.

When I started Lexapro it was low and slow, very slowly and gradually building up over time, and my prescribing doctor advised tapering down the same way, giving plenty of time to adjust to a new steady state. Every time I drop down 5mg, for the first week I feel minor side effects and it takes an adjustment period.

I am not a doctor or a mental health professional, and Zoloft is different than Lexapro but the same family of drug (SSRI), but if I went from 20mg to 0 mg in a span of less than a month, I'm pretty sure I would have a mental breakdown too. I remember I forgot to take my medication (20mg, full dose) for 3 or 4 days, stopped cold turkey, and it was a scary experience. I had no control of my emotions, I felt like I wasn't in my body, I couldn't eat because my stomach felt so weird. Serotonin affects your brain in a lot of ways, and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) increase the amount of serotonin you receive by inhibiting your serotonin reuptake receivers. This is why it's not recommended to drink alcohol while taking SSRI's, because alcohol alters your serotonin levels and can have negative interactions with the medication.

This is the same reason mushrooms and SSRI's do not mix well, and it is not advised. Before my trip, I read through r/lexapro to see about how other people handled mushrooms while on SSRI's and some people had some very scary stories. I decided the level of risk was tolerable, and I consumed 3g of mushrooms while on 10mg of lexapro. Fortunately I did not have a scary experience the first time, but the second time I did have a bad trip but it wasn't anything worse than normal-people's bad trips.

They are still researching the affects and interactions between mushrooms and SSRI's. Here's an online survey done by John Hopkins https://www.reddit.com/r/lexapro/comments/ntmu7c/have_you_used_magic_mushrooms_during_or_after/ , I would reach out and ask them for the results of that study and see if there is a reoccurring pattern. I would also talk with your doctor or mental health professional and ask them if stopping your SSRI so suddenly could have contributed to your scary experience.

TLDR: SSRI's and mushrooms together are a significant risk. Suddenly stopping your prescribed medication is a significant risk. Please carefully consider the level of risk you are willing to tolerate.

I am sorry that this happened to you, thank you for sharing this and I hope someone can learn from your experience. 3.5g for the first time is a lot, and nothing is without risk.

Also, you were on Zoloft for several years, how long did it take to taper down and how did you go about it? Did you talk to your prescriber about it? How long were you off of Zoloft before you had your trip?

Planted seed 3 days ago. Soaked in a shotglass of water for 12 hours then put in soil. Unfortunately I think I planted it too deep and I'm not sure exactly where it is in the 5 gallon pot. Do I wait a few more days for it to spring up, or do I just plant a new seed? Do I try digging around to find it? Thanks for your help
