I'm sry, but I've been to lots of psych wards in Germany, and none were anywhere near this restricting, and there weren't many incidents.

Patients attack you cause your system treats them like convicts. Treat them like a human and they will react way better

This is not a good thing.

1. It shows people it's okay to misgender someone you don't like

2. It won't feel bad for him. For him it's a joke that doesn't do any harm. For trans people getting misgendered is life and can deeply hurt

Speedrunning buying 4-MMC behind train station is gonna be tough tho

I’d watch a summoning salt video on speedrunning buying crack behind train stations

Gabapentin/pregabaline is honestly awesome. Though I've been addicted to it, it could be worth a try to get it prescribed by my psychiatrist

Wasn’t it something like Paint3D?

:)

Sad to hear that lithium didn’t work for you. I have zero side effects luckily, except hypothyroidism for which I take L-thyroxin, and have zero side effects again.

Have you found meds that work for you?

I tried many meds before lithium In order

• Quetiapine. Due to psychotic mania . Worked like a charm
• Aripiprazol. As a replacement for the Quetiapine. Because I had depression and no energy. Worst medication I’ve ever tried. I didn’t make it past the first 3 days due to severe akithisia combined with being really tired and sedated. Pure agony holy shit. Stopped it and back on Quetiapine again.
• Lamotrigine. Didn’t work at all. Even with 325mg daily my serum levels were way too low.
• Escitalopram. It worked a little bit against the depression, but my QT time was prolonged so I had to stop.
• Lithium. I was hospitalized, and we decided to try Lithium. First they fastly tapered me off of Lamotrigine. Then started Lithium. It works perfectly. I don’t wanna say it and jinx it but I really feel like I’m cured. Euthymia is nice.

Right now I’m on 675mg Lithium, 300mg Seroquel XR, and 50mcg L-thyroxin.

❤️

I’m doing wonderful. Have been eithymic for 1.5 years thanks to lithium and Seroquel. Found the perfect medication for me after 3 years of rapid cycling, multiple psych ward stays and suicide attempts.

Lithium. Heaven.

I can finally work again. I found a job that I’m happy with. My life is worth living again.

Thanks. I basically never get truly angry, unless someone clearly means to seriously harm me. If they can’t harm me I also don’t get truly angry. Only when they have the possibility. Or when I’m severely depressed and suicidal. I scream at random people that say or do something that’s slightly mean. I truly regret those events, but when you can’t stop thinking about suicide, any slight annoyance either makes me angry and lash out OR makes me feel even more miserable.

I hope you’re doing good :)

yet

But by the time we could there would be zero reason to anyway

I’d say knitting is art too :)

Art/creativity really is grounding, and can help you get away from the shitty thoughts for a little bit

Thanks a lot :)

This is one of my favourites. Do you create art in any way for coping or sth else?

If you decide that the better option is to get a new wardrobe, it’s hypomania.

If you act on it instantaneously, and spend every last cent you have on the fanciest things you find, it’s mania.

If you then see an ad advertising the new sand and clams burger from McSandals, believing it is a message sent directly to you from big Air Conditioning, giving you secret instructions to take out a loan and take the next flight to Hawaii to taste their sand, screening it for spiritual impurities to report back to big AC to ultimately save the world from an upcoming Sandaliens invasion, it’s psychotic mania

Money has pretty low transactions fees (5cents rn)and is completely anonymous for example, which can be very important depending on what donation or transaction it is.

Others have other advantages over USD for example. NANO being instant and free.

As transaction vehicles these work just fine.

The sudden downs (and ups) are really frightening. Because you know that nothing happened to trigger it, and it’s really just your biology fucking around

Here’s another 3 months of stats.

Rapid cycling like crazy

Did the medications help atleast a little?

Blockchains don’t inherently need obscene amount of erlectriciy

Proof of work mechanism does. There’s lots of other consensus mechanism that don’t.

Most times they sadly can’t help when they know what is wrong either in my experience

I’ve always been very honest about that stuff. Only thing I sometimes wouldn’t disclose were suicidal urges
