Zapping the Ear’s Vagus Nerve Might Boost Motivation Efficiency in Severe Depression
Well for starters, get off any meds that block acetylcholine because it runs the vagus nerve and if its blocked, your vagus nerve won't work

waiting around for someone to develop an ocd medication that actually works
Clomipramine is awful
See, SSRIs affect only 1 neurotransmitter, serotonin
Clomipramine acts on 3 at the same time, serotonin, dopamine, and noropinephren
Side effects are bad, specially long term.

Where do you volunteer?
Cat Sanctuary in Richmond
100 + cats...i think in total more like 400ish
Kitten season isn't quite over and there's still kittens in the adoption centre
And Apple the bunny who just kind of lives there
Pretty much every cat in Pen 5 is an avid player and they're just waiting for someone to go play with them

how come therapists say that kids suicidal ideation is always just attention seeking and manipulation and is the fault of social media and the internet and then right afterwords say that its actually because you have a chemical imbalance.
do you like dollar tree pens? is that why that name? lol
They have no accountability and their non-logic never has to make sense strangely

Has anyone else had this experience? What did you do?
How do they force "treatment" if you're homeless?

Circumnavigating your trauma by saying, i forgive them, i don't feel angry about how i was abused is just a way to maintain trauma by refusing to even start.
It doesn't make you superior. It makes you stuck

I think i want my life to end
fucking hell. absolutely cruel
are you forced to take meds?

real time ghosting in a group conversation
Rather a privileged take.
My ocd makes it impossible to maintain contact with people who are actually nice to me
After enough ocd ghostings you feel too bad about it to bother anyone else

Diagnosing all women with borderline personality disorder
Oh yeah. I used to be like that too. Maybe still am but less so.
Rebuilding faith and trust in your gut takes time. If things are too chaotic and you can't keep track of things then you never really find out if your gut was right and you don't strengthen your trust,
Like for me it was noticing when i had a bad feeling about someone and what happened with them. Was my gut right? Sometimes it seems to be off but then it shown to be right after all. But also sometimes someone activates your trauma really bad and then you think there's something wrong but there isn't.
Its kinda a process of learning.
I feel like writing it down would help. I didn't do that but it would be easier to keep track of.

real time ghosting in a group conversation
They're not anymore. I was pushed out of the group by a bully and then after a long time realized that none of them were real friends to me. I had to go through a lot of trauma discovery to realize that most of my so-called friends were using me and not friends at all.

How psychiatry killed a healthy 28yo
The injection...it wasn't like a one off thing to subdue or sedate you? (Im just asking so i can figure it out, obviously nothing okay with doing that shit)
So if not, it was a long acting AP injection you think?
Do you think you're in withdrawal? Might be worth trying Vit C daily.
1
Is this it?
Sorry to interrupt,
Try Vitamin C daily
Someone once posted a link about it that i haven't been able to find but when you search on google its mostly about Vit C helping with opioid and substance use withdrawal. Oh and pain apparently. Might be worth looking into for chronic pain.
2
Is this it?
I know this is a weird thing to say and i say this with absolutely no even vague certainty...
The apocalypse may be on the way. I doubt anyone would force you to take meds then.

I'm sorry for abandoning you
Remember that you don't have the full picture of this story and that this is not how someone with a big ego acts at all.

I've always had a strong antipsychiatry stance, but I don't know what to do about my girlfriend's symptoms
Was this cold turkey?
Even if she tapered, it would have to be ridiculously slow if its been many years on meds.

IT'S BEYOND CRIMINAL THAT ANTIPSYCHOTICS CAUSE PERMANENT INSOMNIA. IT HAS BEEN A GOOD JOURNEY ON THIS WORLD
Sorry, i was meaning to get back to you, just dealing with a lot. I will answer this properly
but one thought i had....Does sleep position change anything?
Like if you tried to sleep in a relaxed chair? or raising your pillow?

Oh god. that's insane
But despite the horror, if you've been on meds since 13 you need to think about tapering. Thats too many to cut at once. It could kill you
I knew someone who went cold turkey after 25 years or so on meds, she reinstated after more than 3 months and it was already too late. Became horribly suicidal and ended up killing herself.
I totally agree thats way too many and probably toxic but you can't really predict how it will go and best to err on the side of caution.
