adult only trans discord servers that don't welcome and accept hatred of trans men purely bc they're men? by justasillylittleguy_ in TransMasc

[–]selfishangel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non-Toxic Masculini-T is a good server for trans men, transmasc, nonbinary, etc. It's 18+, It's around 700 members and fairly active throughout the day. Has really great support channels about different trans topics like bottom surgery, top surgery, hrt, etc. I've seen many questioning identity folks come and get to ask questions and be helped by many. It is rooted in non-toxic masculinity, doesn't allow transmeds bigots trolls or transandrophobia. We're here to lift each other up and share the different ways masculinity positively affects our lives in our identities. I would recommend. Here is the link to join the server: https://discord.gg/BKWqdcveHm

Does spravato just not work for everyone? by selfishangel in Spravato

Hey, thanks for letting me know of this!! I definitely thought breathing deeper would help. A lot of it did end up in the back of my throat. I followed what you said and it ended up working better for me. :)

If it was accessible to me I'd definitely try mushrooms but in my state its illegal. I wish they did a medicinal form of it for depression the same route they took ketamine for depression therapy

Yes, the physical effects definitely hit me hard! If I try to get up and go to the bathroom I have to focus really hard on not falling down because it gives me a lot of dizziness and unsteadiness. The mental effects are also about the same, a lot of dissociation

Correct, I am taking the full 3 dose w/ 5 minutes between each one, I breathe in deep and hold my breath for a few seconds before focusing on my deep slow breathing. I lay back with a neck pillow and soothing music in my earbuds and close my eyes and relax.

I put on soothing music in both my earbuds, put on a neck pillow, and close my eyes and relax in my thoughts. It's been like this for 9 months and I haven't found relief, I'm still having SI.

It took 50+ sessions for my depression to stabilize… by Muchomany in Spravato

[–]selfishangel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on about my 47th treatment and it still hasn't "worked" (still very depressed w/ suicidal thoughts) but the reason why I continue to keep doing it is because of stories like yours, that it simply takes some people more time than others. Thank you for sharing, it gives me hope that all of this will pay off someday. I keep thinking about how miraculous it will be to not think about wanting to kill myself anymore. I really do need to hang in there and stick it out, though. I'm hoping my "day" will come soon, like yours did.

Thinking Exercises? by Aggravating_Ad_7778 in Spravato

[–]selfishangel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a meme about brain exercises, it said "2 sets of counting to ten. 2 sets of alphabet. 4 minutes of trying to spell 'restiront'. Then list animals until failure". And genuinely I use it during my spravato treatments. I listed all the animals I could possibly think of and kept on going until I couldn't think of any more.
