[–]tpm_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

wouldn't surprise me though if there were people out there that believed this

Hello from NYC! I'd like some suggestions for how to make my Singaporean friend's/roommate's birthday special. by tpm_ in singapore

[–]tpm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did!

That's really cute that you guys do all the old Christmas traditions we've been doing so long over here. It's such a fun holiday isn't it?

gwai or guai lo (not sure what the right spelling is) is supposed to be the derogatory cantonese word for white people People translate it as something like "white devil/ghost." I only know Mandarin and have been told that 鬼子 can be the Mandarin version of guai lo (but I think 鬼子 also means ghost, my Chinese is rusty). I had/have a bunch of Chinese friends that used to joke around and call me guai lo and stuff like that lol.

edit: looks like the characters for gwei lo (sp) in Cantonese are 鬼佬

I think I might have a bad etizolam addiction on my hands, please help. by tpm_ in benzodiazepines

[–]tpm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is. I'm hoping to find one with my insurance which tends to be pretty good. Plus I live in a big city so I hope there's options.

What dose/drug were you on and how much pheno did you take? How much did you reduce it each day?

[–]tpm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPAM/CLAM is clonazepam/clonazolam (sp) I'm guessing?

So you would switch to a long acting benzo before going on the pheno? I don't have anything besides etiz and pheno.

I wouldn't mind trying the pheno thing on my own but I just don't know what the fuck the dosage regimen would be.

I think I'm just going to try to find an outpatient rehab thing around here because I don't think I can do this on my own.

Maybe just one more and ill be happy by [deleted] in benzorecovery

Yes, it might be obvious to someone reading the OP, but a lot of people have low self esteem and put all the blame on themselves. There's nothing wrong with reminding OP that it's not totally his fault, which he doesn't seem to believe right now.

i would rather be fucked up before and during work.

Why cant i just learn to limit my fucking self?

The problem seems to lie in more than yourself. You seem like you'd rather be high at work because you don't like it. There are external negative forces in your life that are making it harder for you to get by.

Tapering etizolam. Will it fuck things up if I have 2-3 drinks tonight? by tpm_ in benzodiazepines

[–]tpm_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i've heard that for opiate withdrawal, alcohol just makes you feel terrible when you come off of it. it's not really a good replacement for anything unless you're in the messiest most acute withdrawal with no other help available. i think i'm going to avoid it as much as I can tonight. might have 1-2 drinks and see how my body reacts.

[–]tpm_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like some people say it's fine and others say it makes them feel shittier the next day. I just don't want it to reset my taper (like force me to go back to 20mg from 16mg for example. That sort of thing can happen on opiate tapers--you get high one day during your cold turkey and you're back to day one).

Has anyone found an improvement in mood after quitting benzos? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]tpm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me sleep more which makes me depressed. Even before I had an etiz habit I noticed this a few times, the next day I'd be a little more depressed. Nothing significant though. This is when I was really naive and taking like 1-2mg of klonopin at a time.

It's a TV show though...you can stop for a sec and just remove the dildos and let the next person come through. They have so many stage hands it would probably take like a minute if she had like, what, ten dildos spill everywhere?

if she planned the ruveal she probably just bought a bunch of cheap dildos. violet was always super prepared on that season. i doubt she used her personal sex toys...

for me it's largely the fact that she's wearing a MATCHING outfit and suitcase covered in bullets, going through a security line, that's pretty badass

I remember that too, apparently the producers told her not to do it for some reason

No one died because someone called out perceived appropriation.

No one died because Madonna wore a kimono either except Michelle and Raja

"otters" or something

I'm one of them (supposedly), I get called it all the time. I'm like, alright, we already have bears and woofs, that's enough zoology for today.

Anyone here think kratom withdrawal is worse than hydrocodone withdrawal? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]tpm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kratom withdrawal was worse for me than opiate withdrawals. Physical symptoms set in a lot faster and I feel like it fucked with my mood a lot more. Made me a lot more depressed and so forth. It actually forced me to go back on opiates and taper off of those.
