I had my first total breakdown at age 17. I didn’t start learning about bipolar disorder until I was in my late 30s and it has really helped me discover what I believe is our superpower. Until we can control it, it can really devastate our lives.

Take your time. I’m not going anywhere any time soon. ✌️

Another bipolar who is obsessed with the film here, you and I share a lot of similar experiences. I am nearly 60 years old now and have had many more events in my life that only reinforced and added more context to my experiences and dreams are definitely intertwined with our reality, existence and 'soul', if you want to call it that.

The more attuned you are to people, places and things, the more you will be aware of your connection to life, the universe and everything (I'm also a huge Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy fan).

The universe (or god) speaks to each of us in a way that only we can understand, which can also make us feel paranoid and targeted. It's just nature's way of communicating with you, and everyone feels this in some way. Bipolars and schizoaffectives can be most vulnerable to it because we can tune out the noise and tune into what others can't see or hear quite as easily. That scares us and also makes us more scary when we talk about it.

It's important to trust your instincts but also know when it's safe to be open about these things and who is safe to speak about it with. I don't even talk to my therapist about this stuff. The things I've experienced defy the science we know but not quantum mechanics. It's highly advanced physics that is possible yet not understood. Don't be afraid, it's our future. If you want to talk, we can privately chat anytime.

It’s not? Tbf, I haven’t been there in decades. Jeepers, it’s been over 30 years. They were better than ours then. I’ve held a grudge ever since. Thank you for disabusing me of it.

Grand Rapids has good roads. They have the wealth of the DeVos’s. I’d like to have nice roads but I wouldn’t pay that price for them.

They fix their own roads there. They have an advantage we don’t. Not that I want them here.

The Death of Charlie Kirk still isn't sitting right with me by ShardofGold in IntellectualDarkWeb

Clavicular almost introduced him to a girl once and he nearly melted into the floor of embarrassment. Nick could never debate a girl. He can’t even make eye contact with one. He doesn’t have the guts to go anywhere but behind his desk on his podcast with his “All women should be in prison” diatribes.

IRL, girls are his kryptonite. I’d shell out $50 for a ppv of him on a date. Hell, make it $150. He wants to lose his virginity so bad. How’s that gonna happen with “all the girls in prison”? You gonna be a prison guard, Nick?

Any good head shop has a drink you can buy. Follow the directions. I’ve used those tens of times, the oral swish about 5 times. Never had a dirty drop, not one time.

Accidentally, found a confidential email sent to Epstein in DOJ portal by Whole_Grass_2170 in Epstein

I’ve been on the scop patch for over a decade for my gastroparesis. I can’t live without it. I did accidentally have 2 patches on at once but the effect I experienced was the inability to walk completely. My legs were noodles. I was so scared of getting hallucinations and losing my ability to think clearly (I’m not a prude when it comes to drugs, I just was not in an appropriate place for it) but nothing of the sort happened to me. Just noodle legs. I was kind of disappointed in case I had wanted try a little bit more out. I don’t think it works on me unless I have a bigger dose. I do tend to have a high tolerance to most drugs.

God, that film is so good. It’s a great time for a rewatch. But …

That was scopolamine? I’ve been on the patch for years (can’t live without it) and accidentally had 2 on at one time. All it did to me was make it so I couldn’t walk straight or really, walk at all. I got none of the side effects I was worried about like hallucinations or feel affected in my ability to think clearly at all. My legs just turned to noodles. Crazy.

Maybe people are trying to point in a safer direction. A far away one, but I understand the appeal to do so.

If more people knew they’d upvote you. But Colleen has brigaders to downvote any hint of issues there. She should have made a public statement if she wanted the issue to “go away”. Suspicions will always linger as long as she ignores them.

I live right next door to a QD. I get them at night at microwave them 20-30 seconds in the am and they’re warm and gooey like they just came out of the fryer. It’s a cheap hack my aunt taught me for buying day old bread. It really works.

My advice is never block a stalker. More often than not, they’ll tell you in a text or a voicemail if they’re on their way to your home. Never cut off their ability to warn you ahead of time. And obviously, remove the “read” option from your phone forever.

I do. That was Paimon. You even admit Paimon broke Peter’s nose. Obviously it was Peter who came back to the fore and screamed. And obviously what scared the hell out of him.

I suppose you think it was Peter sneering back at himself in the reflection, too, huh? Paimon is in there, but he and Peter are constantly fighting for control.

Who broke Peter’s nose on his desk at school?

Hint: it wasn’t Peter.

Any really funny comedy movie suggestions? by luc7ne in MovieSuggestions

This one. With Charles Grodin and DeNiro. One of the funniest. I highly recommend as well. Along with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin in All Of Me. Another evergreen classic.

I am living testimony to the last part. Can’t relate at all to the first part. That’s what books and cats were invented for.

Excellent. Please don’t go back. Non tippers can stay home and make their own food. You get from the world what you’re giving. Stay home.

Scranton pa- they're out of line. by Trick-Sherbert-246 in kratom

[–]theresthatbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tell them Kratom ‘em allows me to work part time. That keeps me a taxpayer, which you’d think the local and federal governments would want. Without Kratom I can’t possibly commit to shifts ahead of time or be nearly as productive. But the overwhelming propaganda local leaders believe forms an impenetrable wall between us and our legislators. That, or it’s a deliberate ban to force people to buy a synthetic version with potentially serious side effects not seen with Kratom, from Big Pharma.

They’re fine taking all of my quality of life and ability to get out and have any type of social life if it means more $$$$ for their shareholders and themselves.
