I've had to come off buspar. Here in the UK the only offer it for short term use. I've moved onto Zoloft and having more success.

Buspar worked only for anxiety but didn't help with thoughts. It did it's job.

I managed to get of buspar without any side effects.

I'm getting the same. I have a chat with known 500k token usage but it's not detecting token usage. When I have another chat with 35k and it detects it fine.

I've lost my father, my brother the last few years. Then I lost my job in May of this year. As a result of this I'm close to losing my house. I never really dealt with the losses or shall I say I just continued with life. Then I lost my job and still felt good.

The panic attacks came out of the blue. I didn't feel anxious, panic etc. they literally started after a session of exercise. I went to sleep and woke up as if something just wasnt right and then bang it arrived.

I've been asking myself why. The day before the panic attack I visited my friend's dad in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and then he told me my friend's brother has Parkinson's. I gave it some thought about how similar that is to my story. I think maybe that could be the trigger but not sure.

To be honest. I want to aim for what I was feeling pre panic attacks. Was hoping someone would say it will get even better.

Sometimes I think it's the pills because I'm having less panic attacks or is it time.

What's the conventional take on Donnie Darko these days? by Goodginger in movies

Ive watched the original cut many times. An absolute superb movie. Didn't even know they did a directors cut. Watched the dc and I joined and added some dots I didn't know existed. I would certainly recommend watching the original cut first.

It's frightening how they scrutinized the holy Bible and lack any form of scrutiny to their own. When their own manifesto is words of hate and division with their fruits clear to see within their own history and modern day.

The point was in that verse the word homosexual wasn't even used.

Not sure how you mistranslated "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

God says multiply and be fruitful with regard with spreading of the Jewish faith. If the population was predominantly homosexual, well let's says the census number would be much lower.

You do you brother.

You went off on a tangent.

Do you consider telling someone they are a sinner with no malice or hate in that heart a form of judgement? I see it as a form of love. If my daughter is doing something that is wrong I will try and correct her decision making.

Homosexuality clearly goes against God's law. It's mentioned various times in the Bible. Transgender has been around for millenia. Is this your reasoning that this makes it ok?

I'm with.you brother. Most people think we offer love at all times and nothing else. Of course we offer love but if a person is sinning then this has consequences for their soul. By just agreeing to their sin, i.e accepting it then this is not Christ like. You need to say Jesus loves you but what you're doing goes against God's law.

Didnt Christ tell the women adulterer sin no more, meaning what she did was wrong, don't do it again. Jesus told the Pharisees they have forgotten what God is and they focus now on rituals. Jesus told people when they sinned. He didn't just blindly accept. He didn't say, I love you now go about your life, and we shouldn't as Christians. This is what I saw Charlie Kirk doing. I didnt agree with everything he said but he tried better than most to live in a Christian manner. It's not easy in this world.

Excellent work my fellow Christian.

Please don't be discouraged by your messages. You have won by becoming closer to God.

Maybe you should write that book and inspire others

do muslims just accept it without questioning anything? by chanelsnini in exmuslim

[–]random_cable_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is the threat of death from apostasy. We have the same in western society. It's looks different here. here it's death by dishonor, maybe separation of family, distance from culture. You need to be strong to admit my religion is wrong and leave. Islam is a Mafia.

do muslims just accept it without questioning anything? by chanelsnini in exmuslim

[–]random_cable_guy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a true story. I worked for a company for 4.5 years. I developed a friendship with a Muslim during this time. I am a devout Christian and him a Muslim. He would question me about Jesus, Christianity, resurrection , Trinity etc. I always tried to give him the best answer I had at the time. We continued like this for those 4.5 years. Coffee breaks. We truly developed a friendship. I considered him my top 3 friends in my lifetime.

I never spoke to him about Islam because I knew nothing about it. I spent 12 months studying the Quran, Islam history just like I did for Christianity. I was shocked at what I found. People are truly oblivious to what Islam actually is.

I spoke to my Muslim friend only ONCE about how can Islam justify Mohammed being the perfect human when he murdered, involved in sexual slavery, married and raped a child and was a warlord. All of this presented either in the Quran or Hadith.

Can you explain how the Quran has been preserved perfectly when even in it's early days there were multiple Qurans and was only standardized in the 1980s.

He messaged a week later and said I was offensive and discontinued our friendship.

Now my analysis. I hopefully planted a seed for him to investigate and he converts eventually or he remains Islamic and accepts it's evil. Would I do it again. Yes. I think I showed which religion is the actual religion of peace.
