2023.06.10 22:23 PinkSweets87 Recovery, Relapse, and Repeat…. OH MY! It’s a Long Winded One, Apologies For Length In Advance.
THIS IS A TRUE RANT I’ll start from the beginning so bare with me. I’m all over the place, so if this doesn’t belong here, I understand. For starters, I just moved to the West Coast (Mountains) from after Living on the East Coast my entire Life (35 1//2 Years). I’ve been here for 9 Months now. For me, it’s a nice place to visit, but not Live, especially given my current Environment and Situation…. I don’t know where I’m Living, to be Honest. I moved in with my Dad (He has always been my main Trigger and surprise, surprise, nothing changed). Inflation got the best of me. I met a really nice guy and spent the Night two times and now, I’m not allowed to Live where I actually Reside. I Live there because my things are there, my Boyfriend and I visit once a Week, but I Live with my Boyfriend of only 4 Months (and his Roommate. My Boyfriend just got a House which I’m not ready for and “I’m not allowed Home” and is currently working on that which makes ED so much more Interesting.) I just lost my Best Friend and Emotional Support Animal of 17 Years. I lost my Job while “Living” at my Boyfriend’s House. My Parents are Divorced. My Mum is up the wall about this and can’t do anything about it because she’s East and I didn’t stay with her because my Step Dad is jealous of me. I recently had a Friend tell me that he missed me and would like to get together with me and Possibly talk about me Living with him. I have to say, I think I Miss the Beach. I remember how much I couldn’t stand that place though. I also can’t stand this! Moving on…. Back in 2021, I Relapsed. I was Living by Myself. That made it so much easier and way worse. I had a Job I thought I had Insurance with because it became out of Control. I thought wrong. So I pushed through to the best of my ability. May of 2022, I had a Slip-Up, but not too bad. January of this Year 2023, after my Emotional Support Dog passed, I Relapsed again. Horribly. My Epilepsy became 10x’s worse. I lost my Job due to Mental Illness. I just told my Boyfriend that I’m Relapsing again. I swear, every Relapse is worse. Since I no longer had a Job, I needed Insurance. I just got under Insurance and I was so Hopeful that this Insurance covered a Treatment Center…. It did! Woo Hoo!!!! But only if I met a Deductible or pay $3,000 out of Pocket. The Job I got let go from, I met the Deductible already. And to top it off, my Boyfriend didn’t know what an Eating Disorder was or Relapse was or any of these Terms so I had to explain. ) He’s Book Smart and I’m Street Smart! LoL!!!!) He then told me, “Well, just stop.” “Only You can make it better.” Like some sort of Wild Fire. I currently have the opportunity to go back East, and how much it would be nice! This was supposed to be a new Book for me. I screwed up everything. EVERYONE tells me ALL the time EXCEPT for my Mum and closest Brother, You can do this on your own! You don’t need IP. You don’t need Doctors. You know how to do everything already! Exactly! I know how to Starve! I know how to Advocate. I don’t remember how to though. My Mum and Brother are the People closest to me in my Life and have gone through Mental Struggles themselves. Not saying my Dad hasn’t. He’s a Pathological Liar, didn’t want Kids, and wasn’t in the Room when I was Born nor was he around. He admits that like he’s Proud of it. My Dietician was excited because all she knows how to do is to Treat the Body, not Mentality. And now, I have to tell her that I’m Relapsing. I’m Honestly beginning to Believe that maybe I’m not meant for Recovery. I am SO sorry this is so long. I am long Winded this Morning and realized that this took 2 Hours to perfect. I’m realizing that I’m Living with 2 Boys I don’t know, 1 Father I’m desperately trying to have in my Life, Forever Recovery Vs a Relapse, and terribly Missing my Mum. Whoever read this Post to the end, Thank-You. It really means a lot.

2023.06.10 22:17 DeliciousSoupps This is the superior psychedelic. (First time trip report)
Me and my buddy split a 4 foot concoction of boiled and reduced cactus.
I will never drink a brew again. I cannot handle the taste, nor the affects it has on my body, even after the next day my stomach is not happy with me. We ended up throwing everything up about 40 mins into drinking, and we finished about half of what was left in the cup after. I was very worried that the trip was ruined. Until shortly after vomiting, things just seemed different. Everything seemed to have a particular difference about how it present in the world. Mushrooms have this affect on me but everything seems more alien. But this, it felt almost as everything was more real, and looked more interesting... I was still feeling pretty ill at this point, so I smoked some weed. I really wanted to wait awhile before doing this, as I wanted to experience mescaline on its own for awhile, without cannabis. But man, did I feel better after a hit or two. My stomach was no longer in pain, and I really took off at this point at about 60 minutes in. I felt so weird, in such a good way. Headspace was happy, curious and so so comforted. I didn't feel much euphoria at this point, but the mix between the body high of the weed and the body high of the mescaline was just heaven. This feeling of pure contentness washed over me, and a headspace of just pure positive energy. Things looked weird, but oddly perfect in their own way. This is a feeling that did not stop for over 12 hours. As for visuals, the reaction to light in darkness was very interesting. Seeing strands of light come off of the moon and almost turning into a full spectrum of color where the strand fades out. Sometimes the floor felt wavy for a few moments and would lock back into stillness when I started to really focus on it. Perspective was weird but satisfying throughout, sometimes things seeming closer or further away than they actually were... In my opinion this is the ultimate nature substance. I cannot begin to tell you how nice it was to be outside, listening to birds, looking at nature on my back porch. I would really like to go camping with this drug. With mushrooms I almost feel overwhelmed being outside, while it's still nice to be outside, the headspace isn't the best for that for me, as I prefer to be in a safe enclosed area, with a blanket. Me and my buddy played so much chess during this experience. I literally have never played so well in my life. I felt as if I could see every single move and get into his head way easier, which was weird but so much fun. I felt like this is what it feels like to be an old man, out on retirement, playing chess in the park with his friend, and purely enjoying life, not having to make conversation and just focusing on the game and taking it in.
At the 12 hour mark, I dozed off still tripping, and slept with some wild dreams, no nightmares.
This is a gorgeous compound. A new favorite of mine. 10/10. God's gift to humanity.
I will however, only be taking extracted mescaline. If it's your only option for consumption it is still worth it, but if you have the means to extract, just do the extra work.
Thank you for reading.

2023.06.10 22:16 CoolCartoonist7126 Migraine Treatment Anxiety
Is anyone else scared every time they try a new medication?
I've had migraines since I was 5, they've gotten worse as I've gotten older. I have a constant headache and my migraines can last weeks. I consider myself lucky when I have a migraine free day ever. I've been trying different medications, and lifestlye changes, since I was 9 years old. I tried going to a chiropractor ages 7-14, and acupuncture for a couple months. I've never gotten pain relief from medications and recently had a horrible in patient hospital stay. Most medications don't work as low doses and then I have horrible side effects but no benefits when they get upped.
My family really wants me to try Botox and I'm so scared at the thought. Any needles or injections have just caused worse side effects that I already experience with my normal migraines.
Just wondering if anyone else has an experience similar to mine with how my body reacts to medication or just the anxiety of new meds.

2023.06.10 22:15 ShadowRider777666 Practiced writing lore
The Drakeith was birthed from the god of war, Highrys, and the goddess of birth, Myrath; the skin of the original form of the Drakeith was pale-skinned and much stronger than now. They lived in the peaceful plains of Agrone; however, that changed once Hyra, the daughter of Highrys and Myrath, was revealed; the daughter cast out that she called to the Drakeith, promising conquest and victory, the thrill of a fight.
As punishment for the traitors that left, Highrys and Myrath cast a spell, changing the shape and form of their people, the divine essence twisted and wrapped the bodies with growing horns, skin becoming purple and growing a tail, then the souls of the warriors she led; they had more animalistic thinking; and she turned their curse into a blessing, their feral hearts turning over into focused aim of bloodlust and victory.
The Drakeith, now less wise known as the Opals until Hyra had her warriors take turns aiming down at her parent's creations. The war broke into a bloodbath, with the Opals slowly losing and her parents pumping more divine energy into their people; meanwhile, the weak were left to rot by Hyra as she fueled the strongest and most intelligent among them.
Her warriors, though, left the women and children untouched unless ordered to do something about them. The job was done, but now with the parents not having enough followers, they cast the last bit of magic into the region, fueling the monsters to become even beefier, giant, faster, and bulkier. The creature's genetics mutated into forms of powerful monsters.
This, however, only played into Hyra's hand, fueling the narrative set by her. The propaganda built up against the two gods. Hyra gets her followers to build kingdoms, to go out and start wars. She took a more hands-off approach to her godhood.
Governance
Hyra made it clear she desired monarchy; she wished for the men to lead; she saw that most of her brightest and hardest working people were men, looking after their families. She saw how her mother led a peaceful, boring, dull, dreadful life, with her father being bored and giving a boost defensively from the sidelines.
Hyra views that only the smartest and strongest should lead, with the victor of a duel letting the king be the only way to have the throne. No divine right in her eyes. The old ways of the Drakeith had a woman leading, a passing of leadership to her children.

2023.06.10 22:12 snow-white-waif it's unbelievable how little care i take of myself when i'm binging/gaining. tw for numbers
for the past 6 months i've been eating horrendously and basically abusing my body with food. 3k calories daily of trash and i've gained 28lbs to my great surprise /s
for the last 3 days i've been restricting and eating super clean. and i could cry. because it's only when i snap out of my binging that i realise how poorly i look after my body unless i'm restricting.
i did a pedicure.
i did a manicure.
i've been doing my skincare.
i shaved my legs.
i even exfoliated my legs and moisturised after.
it's like i somehow feel like i don't deserve to be looked after when i'm not starving. i've tried to work out what the correlation is - do i feel worth it when i'm hungry and trying to take care of my weight? like the rest of me deserves care too? am i just bored so i'm doing self-love to pass the time rather than eat? is it that my mental health is better when there's no junk in my diet and i simply remember to care for myself?
idk if its one of those or all, but whatever it is, it always hits me square in the jaw when i notice the familiar patterns again.

2023.06.10 22:10 Green-Music-2128 Weird guy at the pool
Hi,
I work at a pool as a lifeguard and this summer had a creepy situation with a patron. Being a lifeguard your kind of exposed to everything, the sun, creeps, kids, the sun, anyway I had an adult come up to me who I was unaware was autistic and talked to me about some uncomfortable things. As a kid I was almost kidnapped so any uncomfortable slightly creepy conversation can trigger me very quickly and this was one of those where my body went into fight or flight. He started talking about his heels and saying he puts aquaphor on them to make them smooth, weird but ok, then asks to see my heels, I start to get triggered and just reply no. He gets more and more angry to the point where I am on the verge of a literal panic attack and if you know anything about guarding it’s that our objective is to make sure nobody drowns and I was not fulfilling my job. I was scanning and everything but I couldn’t drown out his comments as they progressively got more and more creepy. He then asks me what shoe size I wear and at this point I’m thinking he’s going to take off my shoes and I’m not comfortable with this, and it should be known at this point I am freaking out and in shock so I can’t even grab my whistle to call my manager over so the only thing I can do is keep saying no. Once he finally leaves me alone I start sobbing, luckily my coworker came over to ask me something and saw and immediately rotated me out so I could go calm down. And thank god my boss was there I thought. He did Jack shit, talked to the adults guardian and they told him he had autism, end of the story. I thought that this was invalidating because I was practically told to get over it. I go on after crying and then being okay but still shaken to finish my shift in the back of my head wondering if this has happened before. It has, twice and he’s been talked to about it before and it stopped. He only does this to teenage girls it seems and the last girl he did it to was tickled, her feet, by him. Am I the only one seeing a pattern and seeing how creepy that is. People tell me he doesn’t know boundaries and that I’m going to have to let it go, but how am I supposed to let go of something that’s happened to my other co workers. I feel as though we aren’t being protected from this guy. Am I in the wrong for thinking this and should I just let it go?

2023.06.10 22:09 Lucifer_devilman Weird book idea
I don't know if this is allowed but who cares. I already pulled almost an all-nighter working on the outline but the jist is.
What if a Transphobic woman takes the desicion make a chanal called mission transgender to prove that transition is easy. She makes the classic timeline videos but she is twisting her experience to be conservative by saying that it was easy.

What if a Transphobic woman takes the desicion make a chanal called mission transgender to prove that transition is easy. She makes the classic timeline videos but she is twisting her experience to be conservative by saying that it was easy.

2023.06.10 22:09 lieutenant_pandaman Heavy edible user - how I passed
Hi everyone,
This sub has been super helpful in helping me pass a pre employment drug test at Quest. I thought I’d add my experience on how I passed to add to the info collected here.
Starting weight: 140 lb Gender: M Height: 5’9”
I would say my body type is skinny fat.
Usage: I was a heavy edible user, averaging 50-75mg per day for the past 6 months.
Before test: I drank a ton of water each day and had 5g creatine and vit b complex pills. I also greatly cut down on food and fell from 140lb to 134. This would be better with exercise but I was lazy.
I had to take the test twice, as my first test result was dilute. I used the certo method for my first attempt, drinking a 16oz Gatorade with 1 pack certo + 15mg creatine the night before. The day of I had less prep than I’d like, and drank the certo mix 1.5 hours before the test, a 16oz Gatorade and took a vitamin b complex pill. I peed once before the test and came up dilute. The second test that I passed, 4 days later I repeated the same procedure the night before, then the day of I took the certo mix 3 hours before testing and 2 hours before testing drank 16 oz of water + 5g creatine + 1/2 cup of sugar + vitamin b complex. I realize this is a lot of sugar, and it may have been straight up useless, but since last test was dilute I thought that adding an absurd amount of sugar may have made the urine less dilute? I haven’t seen anyone suggest this so it may be unnecessary. I peed 3x before the test and it looked yellow. Passed on this attempt.
Important:
TEST YOURSELF. I knew exactly how much water I needed to drink reach a negative result. Drinking more may lead to a dilute result.
THIS MAY NOT WORK EXACTLY THE SAME FOR YOU. This procedure worked for me, and it may work for people with a similar body type. You may need more or less water, or vitamin b. That’s why it’s important to test yourself.
Make sure to drink a ton of water before the test and do at least some exercise. I was somewhat lacking in this department.
Big thanks to this community for helping me pass. Hopefully any readers will find my post helpful.

2023.06.10 22:04 remyshere How to fix yellow-turned Barbie body?
Hello everyone, I just got a 1996 Christian Dior doll but unfortunately with yellow-turned chest. I’ve heard of cream applications containing Benzoyl Peroxide, but I cannot find a cream/gel containing 10% benzoyl peroxide in my country. Has anyone heard, know or applied a different method and got results? Would acetone, bleach, or light sanding work? I don't want to spoil the originality by changing the body and also I don’t want to harm the body. Waiting for your answers, thank you!! :)

2023.06.10 22:03 FloatingTriangles Experimental Trial 12-2 - The Death of Leaf, Part 2: A Sip of Wonder
That's the mystery of where in the world is Monotaro cleared up. But what's this I hear about poison not working on a victim? And you guys said something about one of the crime scenes possibly being fake? How interesting...
Also, don't get too ahead of yourselves, 'cuz there's a few things about the Ultimate ??? Research Lab crime scene that haven't really been explained yet. Like, for example, what exactly is that bloody Monopad, hmm? And those bloody rectangles in my beautiful crime scene picture...so mysterious.
Remember, your lives are on the line. You do you, but if you've got information about that, it's probably best to spill it!
Leaf's body was found in the Ultimate ??? Research Lab. He died from blood loss before 10 pm on Day 2.
Leaf's Autopsy
Leaf’s fatal wound was a stab wound in his right side, and it’s the only injury he sustained. Besides the blood on his clothes and on the floor around his body, Leaf’s hands were also covered in blood.
Library Crime Scene
Library Crime Scene
Discovered in the evening of Day 2. The sliding Hallway Door across from the A/V Room was open. Blood had stained a knocked-over tower of books, and one book, page-down, had blood on its pages. A trail of blood led to the Moving Bookcase.
Library Secret Door
Library Secret Door
The trail of blood continued to the Secret Door. There was also blood on the moving bookcase and on the Card Reader.
Ultimate ??? Research Lab Crime Scene
Ultimate ??? Research Lab Crime Scene
Discovered in the afternoon of Day 3, when Leaf’s Body Discovery Announcement was played.
Ultimate ??? Research Lab Wall Safe Dials
Ultimate ??? Research Lab Wall Safe Dials
Blood stained multiple sections of the large, unwieldy dials needed to open the Wall Safe. The handprints were too indistinct to compare reliably to anyone.
Bloodstained Sword
There was one sword taken from its sheath on the floor of the Ultimate ??? Research Lab. The blade is covered in dried blood, and even the handle is bloody. Due to its weight, it would have been wielded with both hands.
First Night Concert Attendees
On Day One, Melody and Kuromi held an impromptu nighttime concert in the Ultimate Pianist’s Research Lab. The concert lasted until the group went to bed. Though most attended, Roulette, Dash, Tut, and Fenrir did not. Those who attended stayed the whole time.
Masked Figure
During the search for Leaf after dinner on Day 2, Zero claimed he and Dash saw a masked figure coming up from the basement while Kuromi, Melody, and Kanata were investigating the girl’s bathroom. As they rushed to chase the masked figure back down into the basement, Dash tripped and fell down the stairs, giving him a bloody head wound. Zero checked the Library, saw the Library Crime Scene, and went back to tend to Dash until the girls found them.
Kira's Account
When she woke up on Day 3, Kira found a letter on her room floor, telling her to meet in one of the rooms in Hotel Kumasutra at 1:30 p.m. to discuss getting out without bloodshed. She went to meet the writer a little before the indicated time. However, after Tut convinced her that she was someone’s target in the hotel’s lobby, she left him there and returned to her room.
Photo Printer Ink Issue
The photo printer apparently had an ink issue today when Smile was creating a poster of photos she took of Kanata’s Get-Together. The pictures of Misao and Kanata came out fine, but the photos of Kanata, Kira, Atari, Kuromi, and Melody had a pink tint to them.
Casino Contest Setup and Rules
When Roulette proposed a friendly four-way Casino Contest at lunch on Day 3, Atari, Zero, and Star took her up on her offer. The Contest took place from 1–2 p.m., and the four were given Casino Coins to see which game paid out the best. Roulette chose MonoMono Slots, Star chose OUTLAW RUN, Zero chose TREASURE HUNTER! MONOLITH, and Atari was left with SALMON FISHING.
Under the watchful eye of Judge Monotaro, there were two rules imposed to prevent distraction: competitors could not look at any other player, or at any other player’s machine.
Bloody Knife
After lunch on Day 3, Dash found a Bloody Knife in a corner of the Ultimate Magician Research Lab.
This was the knife Melody used to attack Kuromi. She says she originally found it in the Ultimate Detective Research Lab in the morning on Day 3.
Forget-Me-Not Poison Bottle
An empty bottle of poison Kanata found beside an unconscious Tut in the Hotel Kumasutra lobby, alongside a used syringe. According to the label, the poison is 100% fatal unless cured. Victims of Forget-Me-Not Poison will go unconscious almost immediately. After 10 minutes, their eyes will be noticeably bloodshot. After 20 minutes, victims will produce tears of blood. After 30 minutes, if not cured with an antidote, the victim will die. A surviving victim of Forget-Me-Not Poison will lose their memories of the previous 24 hours.
Hotel Kumasutra Door Slam
When Kanata and Smile found an unconscious Tut in the Hotel Kumasutra lobby, they heard a nearby door slam in the hotel.
Antidote on the Table
When they carried a poisoned Tut up to the Ultimate Detective’s Research Lab to search for an antidote, Smile and Kanata fortunately found a cure-all antidote set out on the table.
Laptop
Found in the Wall Safe, without any blood on it. The first time its screen was turned on during the investigation, an “Invalid Username or Password” message was already displayed.
DVD
Found in the Wall Safe, without any blood on it. However, Monotaro took the DVD and locked himself in the A/V Room.
Missing Crossbow
During the investigation, Star finally found the missing crossbow he’d carelessly left out in the Ultimate Assassin’s Research Lab yesterday. He found it duct-taped to the back of the red-robed mannequin in that very same Research Lab.
Ultimate Assassin Research Lab Poison
During the investigation, Kanata found a full bottle of another eventually-fatal poison, set behind the mannequin in the Ultimate Assassin Research Lab.
Blood Pack Refrigerator
During the investigation, Mecha and Kira found a refrigerator tucked away in a corner of the warehouse. Blood packs were stored in the refrigerator. It’s unknown how many were in there to begin with.
Tut's Lost Day
Due to being apparently poisoned with Forget-Me-Not Poison, Tut has lost 24 hours' worth of memories.
Melody has confessed that she attempted to kill Kuromi in the morning of Day 3. First, after convincing Kuromi to stop and take a break, she grabbed a poison that would definitely kill her intended victim from the Ultimate Detective’s Research Lab, and slipped it into Kuromi’s water. When Kuromi drank the poisoned water without incident, Melody, convinced Kuromi was the mastermind, lured her to the Ultimate Magician’s Research Lab and attacked her with a kitchen knife, cutting Kuromi’s hand badly in the process.

Tut's Lost Day
Due to being apparently poisoned with Forget-Me-Not Poison, Tut has lost 24 hours' worth of memories.
- After lunch on Day 2, he went down to the Basement Library and was there with Atari until about 4 pm.
- Atari and Tut then went up to the Ultimate Tennis Pro Research Lab. They met Misao at the door at 4 pm. Atari managed to settle the dispute with a compromise: Tut would use the Ultimate Tennis Pro Research Lab to play tennis, and Misao would use the Ultimate Prisoner Research Lab to practice tying her kimono sash.
- At 4:20 pm, Misao left the Ultimate Prisoner Research Lab to go back to her room, and Tut was still in the Ultimate Tennis Pro Research Lab.
- From 4:30 pm–6 pm, Star and Tut were together in Tut's room, and they went to dinner together.
- After dinner, Tut searched for Leaf outside on the grounds with Atari, Roulette, and Kira. Eventually, he split off with Atari to cover more ground.
- Tut participated in Star's Nighttime Training Exercise with Star, Atari, Fenrir, Kira, and Mecha.
- On Day 3, before lunch, Tut was seen coming down the stairs from the Second Floor, and he was one of those who followed Kuromi's blood trail to the warehouse.
- After lunch, about 1:25 pm, Kira encountered Tut in the lobby of Hotel Kumasutra. He apparently told her she was indeed someone's target. As Kira left, Tut told her he'd be right behind her.
- A little after 1:45 pm, Kanata and Smile found an unconscious, poisoned Tut in the lobby of Hotel Kumasutra. They were able to carry him up to the Ultimate Detective Research Lab and give him an antidote.
Melody has confessed that she attempted to kill Kuromi in the morning of Day 3.

2023.06.10 22:02 channelingRasputin How to develop when you can't handle pressure?
I have so much I want to do with my life. I have goals, dreams and hopes for myself, but the second I start, for example, a calorie deficit, going to the gym more, a new training course for work or trying to learn a new skill, it's like my brain is suddenly going a million miles an hour. I feel so incredibly stressed that I always end up caving and returning to default settings of laziness, anxiety, negative self-talk, etc.
Even if I take one thing at a time, like learning a new skill, and even if I take it slowly, e.g. setting aside 2 hours a week to learn, I crumble. I cannot handle even the slightest amount of pressure.
When thinking about it, I think the stress comes from a fear of failure and change. For example, when I'm at the gym, I get a lot of anxiety about moving up to the next set of weights in case I can't do it; I've always been overweight, and I've realised that I use my body as an excuse as why people won't like me; I've never been exceptionally talented in anything, and when I think about learning something new I'm afraid trying will just confirm that.
I don't know where this fear came from; I'm an introvert with next to no social life, but I'm a pretty lucky person - I have a fantastic WFH job, I'm close to my family, I live in a beautiful flat in the centre of my city, and it is just me at home so I don't have to worry too much about money.
I do enjoy my life. I don't want to seem ungrateful... but I wouldn't forgive myself if, in 5 years, I was in precisely the same place as I am now - no hobbies, no social life, overweight etc.
Any advice anyone may have for me would be appreciated.

2023.06.10 22:02 VioletHumanEater My Contrave Journey
I’ve been feverishly reading through all the posts and inspired by u/sedatedforlife I’ve decided to do the same and post my journey to both keep me accountable and to help future Contrave users.
About me: I’m a 5’5” 242.8 lb 43 yr old female from Canada who has yo-yo dieted my whole adult life. I have tried just about every diet out there over the decades: Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Dr. Bernstein, Calorie Counting, Slimfast, Soup Diet. I have found success and lost weight with all of them, but my problem is in maintenance. Once I stop the program, I revert back to old habits and the weight piles back on. I am a junk food addict and I am very aware that my excess weight is because of this and not from overeating at meals. I have luckily not had any major health side effects from my obesity, but I know that with my family medical history and age it’s only a matter of time before I start to experience health issues.
This led me to have a conversation regarding my weight with my family doctor. I was told of 3 medications that she could prescribe: Contrave, Saxenda and Ozempic and the pros and cons of each. I left to do my research and to find out what my insurance would cover as well as out of pocket costs. My insurance covers both Contrave and Saxenda fully and I’d need pre-approval for Ozempic. Due to Saxenda and Ozempic possibly causing thyroid cancer and having experienced a thyroid cancer scare over the past 6 months I decided neither of these medications were for me. Researching how Contrave works on the brain led me to think it may be worth a try if it can dull my cravings and temptations to eat junk food.
I began Contrave on June 1, 2023, started wearing my Fitbit again and started calorie counting via the fitbit app, setting it for a 500 calorie deficit/day. I have had a fitbit account since 2012, so it’s useful to see my weight history as well as how long it took me to get from my past highest weight - 240 lbs to my lowest past weight 165 lbs and it was 3 years!! So I’ve committed to try Contrave long-term and probably be on it for life (assuming that I have success)
Week 1: June 1, 2023 Start: 242.8 lbs Side effects: I felt a bit jittery the first couple of days (it felt like I had a massive amount of caffeine) as well as feeling a bit dizzy/lightheaded. The first 2 days I had very vivid nightmares but nothing since. Very thirsty and dry mouth. Tip: I bought TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges and they help a lot.
I notice I’m still thinking about food a lot but I’m making healthy choices and not giving in to cravings.
Week 2: June 8, 2023 Start: 238 lbs (weight loss to date: 4.8 lbs) Started 2 pills a day. Side effects: slight headache
My obsession with food has eased tremendously and I’m not thinking about it as often. I’m recognizing my body’s hunger signs and now realizing the difference between true hunger and the constant cravings I used to have. I realize that my problem with food has been in my brain and I now understand why it’s SO much easier for non-overweight people to stay that way. They don’t have the constant obsession, desire, cravings that I had. Contrave quiets all that brain chatter. For the first time in my life I feel “normal” in regards to my relationship with food.

10 grams and a Zap: a psilocybin mushroom and THC report.
Before I get into the report, let me tell you a bit about myself.
I am a young man who has been experimenting with psilocybin mushrooms for six months.
I have a high tolerance for mushrooms and THC, usually 8 grams is enough to get me quite high but anything lower than that is very manageable for me.
I start feeling the effects of edible THC at 50 mg.
I have an addictive personality and have a tendency to hyper fixate on things.
Right now I like mushrooms.
But enough about me, let’s get into it.
Preparation:
I got home from work at 3:45 pm on a Thursday, blended 10 grams of blue meanies and put the kettle on to boil.
I put the the mushrooms in a tea strainer, added a healthy shot of lemon juice, added some caffeine free herbal tea, and then took 200 mg of edible THC.
When the hot water was ready I poured into the cup, adding more lemon juice, then I went to take a shower while the mushrooms steeped.
I came back ten minutes later and stirred the tea with a fork for five minutes. Lastly I added some honey.
Trip report:
T+0: I consume the tea of the course of five minutes. When I finish my tea I go up stairs and lay down in my bed.
T+10: the come up starts… Blue meanies kick in faster than cubensis strains and the lemon and hot water broke down the psilocybin so the onset is very fast.
T+30 I am full on TRIPPIN. Distortion waves fill my vision and sparks start to crackle when I look around.
When I close my eyes I can see the visualization of sound waves as if shown on recording equipment.
T+40: I get the bright idea to go make a video in the woods while tripping on mushrooms.
I wanted to make sure my phone was fully charged so I got my battery pack to charge it. The pack was nearly dead so I decided to plug it in to the wall.
The outlet already had a plug in it and must have been faulty, because the second I plugged the cord in..
ZAP!
I hear a click, see a pop of blue sparks. And then got electrocuted. It was a fraction of a second and then it was gone.
I unplugged the batter and sat down on the floor to make sure I was ok.
T+50: I decided I was alright after a few minutes in the floor.
I got up and put the battery pack on the counter and plugged it into a different outlet.
Now here’s where things really start to go sideways.
I got close to the battery and the mushrooms told me to tense my hand.
I tended my hand as hard as I could about 8 inches from the battery.
You can choose to believe me or not but hand to God, I heard a pop and saw a spark spear between my hand and the battery.
The minute after it happened I noticed that I could feel electrical currents moving through my body.
I was able to pull the energy from the battery and into myself.
I sat down on the couch and wrote a poem.
I was rubbing my arm on the couch and suddenly I got electrocuted again.
The static build up shocked me like a jolt from an outlet.
This is when I panicked.
I suddenly realized that everything was electrocuting me. My clothes, wall outlets and batteries.
If I got too close to a power source I’d start to draw in the power.
I called my brother and he came to sit me.
I shook his hand and thanked him for coming and got electrocuted just from touching his hand.
I went into the back yard, got into my swing and covered myself in blankets. I stayed there for a few hours chatting with my family while I calmed down.
It’s now the next day and I can still feel electricity. When I touch my phone with two hands I form a circuit and my back starts to tense up from the electricity.
This is for Paul Stamets and Andrew Huberman. If you are watching this please reach out. I could use some assistance with this new found condition.

2023.06.10 22:00 Due_Pea6110 New to Canker life
I hope that all I did was over medicate
Recently about 2 weeks ago I worked out legs, didn’t even go hard as I hadn’t worked out in a while, unbeknownst to me, working out with out proper carb intake or hydration will cause your body to release toxins into you and make you feel flu like symptoms, so I dealt with pain quite a lot but was taking about 8 ibuprofen a day,
The recommended is only about 6 I believe so took to much, started to feel a pain in my throat and just thought it was a sore throat, then started feeling pain on my tongue and gums surrounding my wisdom teeth, this progressed until I found out ibuprofen can cause canker sores, so I’ve now been dealing with this for a little over a week,
The tongue no longer hurts but my gums around my wisdom teeth are still quite sore and inflamed, is this common or has happened to anyone else? Anything I can take to calm it down? My right side of my gums is now back to a pinkish color but any thing I eat absolutely hurts as the gums frequently touch each other

2023.06.10 22:00 AdhesivenessNo3773 Meeting people in the bay area
Hey everyone! I moved to the Bay Area for an internship and I live in the San Mateo/Foster City area. I'm definitely open to having non-brown friends but it is nice to have brown friends too.
Does anyone have tips on how to meet more brown people in the Bay Area? I’m in the foster city area, 21M, desi(lmao), and just looking to make some friends! I love swimming, table tennis, watching a lottt of shows, techy stuff like coding(im a cs major lol), working out, and absolutely love being by piers/water bodies during sunsets or in the night.

2023.06.10 21:57 elongated_smiley Can you help clarify about how EMFs work?
I'm buying a house near a high voltage transmission line. I know the science isn't conclusive. I get this. I'm not truly scared about this, or I wouldn't be buying the home. But reading about this stuff has gotten me curious enough to try to understand what is going on with EMF, and how it works. I've done quite a bit of reading the last few days, and also asking here on Reddit.
I'd like to understand how to compare (quantify) the following two sources of EMF:
A guy I spoke to on Reddit, who sounded knowledgeable, wrote: The power line voltage is 500x higher than the blender. We can claim the EMF are perfect inverse square compared to distance. Take the square root of 500 = 22.4, and this tells you that the power lines only have to be 22.4x further away from you to have a weaker EMF compared to the blender. So if the blender is only 0.5m away, if the lines are further away than 0.5x22.4=11.2m, their EMF will be weaker than the blender's by the time it reaches you.
I have to admit, this seems reasonable. If I compare 0.5 to 25m, that's a factor 50 distance increase. 50x50 = 2500. Since 230x2500=575000 (4.6x larger than 125,000), the effect should be stronger from the blender at 0.5m compared to the power lines at 25m.
SECOND EXPLANATION
I tried asking chatGPT the same question:
So my question is why are the two answers different quantitatively? Is it just due to assumptions, or is one answer actually flawed?
Thank you!

I'd like to understand how to compare (quantify) the following two sources of EMF:
- 115kV power lines that pass 25m from my new home, about 10m in the air. Frequency is 50Hz. 11MW load.
- My blender sitting on my kitchen counter 0.5m from my body, 230V, 300W.
A guy I spoke to on Reddit, who sounded knowledgeable, wrote: The power line voltage is 500x higher than the blender. We can claim the EMF are perfect inverse square compared to distance. Take the square root of 500 = 22.4, and this tells you that the power lines only have to be 22.4x further away from you to have a weaker EMF compared to the blender.

SECOND EXPLANATION
I tried asking chatGPT the same question:
A 230V, 50Hz appliance is consuming 300W. I'm located 0.5m from the appliance. What EMF will I experience? Show your steps.ChatGPT says:
To calculate the strength of the electromagnetic field (EMF) that you would experience at a distance of 0.5m from a 230V, 50Hz appliance consuming 300W, we can use the following steps: Calculate the current flowing through the appliance using the formula: I = P/V Where: I = current in amperes (A) P = power in watts (W) V = voltage in volts (V) I = 300 / 230 = 1.3 A Calculate the magnetic field strength at a distance of 0.5m from the appliance using the formula: B = (μ0 * I)/(2π * R) Where: B = magnetic field strength in tesla (T) μ0 = magnetic constant (4π x 10^-7 T·m/A) I = current in amperes (A) R = distance from the appliance in meters (m) B = (4π x 10^-7 * 1.3) / (2π * 0.5) = 1.64 x 10^-6 T Calculate the electric field strength at a distance of 0.5m from the appliance using the formula: E = (V/d) Where: E = electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m) V = voltage in volts (V) d = distance from the appliance in meters (m) E = 230 / 0.5 = 460 V/m Calculate the strength of the EMF using the formula: EMF = c * sqrt(E^2 + B^2) Where: EMF = the strength of the EMF in volts per meter (V/m) c = the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second (m/s) E = electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m) B = magnetic field strength in tesla (T) EMF = 3 x 10^8 * sqrt((460)^2 + (1.64 x 10^-6)^2) = 1.38 x 10^8 V/m Therefore, you would experience an EMF of approximately **1.38 x 10^8 V/m** at a distance of 0.5m from the appliance that consumes 300W at 230V and 50 Hz.
A 115000V, 50Hz power line is transmitting 11MW. I'm located 25m from the power line. The power line is 10m in the air. What EMF will I experience? Show your steps.ChatGPT says:
To calculate the strength of the electromagnetic field (EMF) that you would experience at a distance of 25m from a powerline that transmits 11 MW of power at 115,000 V and 50 Hz, we can use the following steps: Calculate the current flowing through the powerline using the formula: I = P/V Where: I = current in amperes (A) P = power in watts (W) V = voltage in volts (V) I = 11,000,000 / 115,000 = 95.65 A Calculate the magnetic field strength at a distance of 25m from the powerline using the formula: B = (μ0 * I * d)/(2π * R) Where: B = magnetic field strength in tesla (T) μ0 = magnetic constant (4π x 10^-7 T·m/A) I = current in amperes (A) d = the vertical distance between the powerline and the ground in meters (m) R = distance from the powerline in meters (m) Assuming a vertical distance of 10m between the powerline and the ground, we can calculate the magnetic field strength as: B = (4π x 10^-7 * 95.65 * 10) / (2π * 25) = 3.83 x 10^-5 T Calculate the electric field strength at a distance of 25m from the powerline using the formula: E = (λ * d)/(2π * ε0 * R) Where: E = electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m) λ = the line charge density in coulombs per meter (C/m) d = the vertical distance between the powerline and the ground in meters (m) ε0 = the electric constant (8.85 x 10^-12 F/m) R = distance from the powerline in meters (m) Assuming a line charge density of: λ = I / v Where: I = current in amperes (A) v = velocity of the charge carriers in meters per second (m/s) Assuming a frequency of 50 Hz, the velocity of the charge carriers can be estimated as: v = d / (1/2f) = 10 / (1/100) = 1,000 m/s λ = 95.65 / 1000 = 0.09565 C/m We can then calculate the electric field strength as: E = (0.09565 * 10) / (2π * 8.85 x 10^-12 * 25) = 1.81 x 10^4 V/m Calculate the strength of the EMF using the formula: EMF = c * sqrt(E^2 + B^2) Where: EMF = the strength of the EMF in volts per meter (V/m) c = the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second (m/s) E = electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m) B = magnetic field strength in tesla (T) EMF = 3 x 10^8 * sqrt((1.81 x 10^4)^2 + (3.83 x 10^-5)^2) = 5.44 x 10^6 V/m Therefore, you would experience an EMF of approximately **5.44 x 10^6 V/m** at a distance of 25m from the powerline that transmits 11 MW of power at 115,000 V and 50 Hz, assuming the powerline is 10m in the air.Comparing the two ChatGPT answers, the blender's EMF at 0.5m is 25.4x stronger than the power line EMF at 25m.
So my question is why are the two answers different quantitatively? Is it just due to assumptions, or is one answer actually flawed?
Thank you!
2023.06.10 21:57 bull09393 Have an old guitar coming apart at the neck, full neck reset necessary?
 | I have this cheap, still playable, guitar I love, but the neck is separating from the body. The glue holding the fretboard to the body is still strong, but the glue holding the neck on the back is coming loose. This would be my first guitar repair ever, so I'm nervous to do a full neck reset. Could I just clean up the old glue in the crack, squeeze in some fresh hide glue, clamp it down, and call it a day? This guitar is cheap so it's not worth going to a pro for, but it is sentimental and still playable, so I stil want it to be in working condition. Any advice would help, thanks! submitted by bull09393 to Luthier [link] [comments] |
2023.06.10 21:56 TarotLessTraveled A Little Light Reading (revised repost)
 | submitted by TarotLessTraveled to TheTracklessWay [link] [comments] La Papesse from the Camoin/Jodorowsky 1997 TdM La Papesse has an open book on her lap. I confess that when I initially looked at this card, I did not think much about it. I presumed it was the Bible (or some other writ approved by the Church), and not very interesting. However, it has been and continues to be, for many writers of TdM commentary, a source of speculation. When we work with tarot cards, we make the assumption that every detail contributes to the meaning of the card. The problem is in determining what is genuine symbolic resonance and what is merely cleverness on our part, concocted symbolism leading us through rabbit holes of our own conscious design to intellectually determined conclusions (i.e., taking us where we had already decided to go). It is an especial dilemma for me because I love rabbit holes, but I love them when they lead me into unsuspected areas of discovery; I do not want to be (pardon the mixed metaphors) like my cat who catches sight of his tail, begins chasing after it, spinning like a dervish, and banging into furniture. The book La Papesse holds on her lap, at least in the Jodorowsky text, shows seventeen lines. This is significant as it establishes a connection with the 17th arcanum, “for the accumulation of The High Priestess is the action of [L’Étoile].” La Papesse is passive; she is not engaged in any activity: she reads her script, meditates upon it, allowing it to fill her in accordance with a traditional monastic practice called Lectio Divina or “Divine Reading.” In the Lectio Divina, scripture is the living word, the Logos, which became incarnate in Jesus Christ; hence, the presence of the egg, a symbol of new life, which in its most positive aspect represents an elevated future self. (In Jean Dodal’s deck, this second arcanum is named La Pances, which means “belly” and might signify the womb or Church.) This takes us to L’Étoile, which features a human woman, naked and pregnant; in the Jodorowsky-Camoin illustration, “she [bears a sign] on her rounded belly at the level of the navel evok[ing] a seed of life. She spreads fertility.... What is received from on high, The Star, channel of universal generosity, pours toward the Earth to fertilize it.” Left: Le Toille from the Camoin/Jodorowsky TdM; Center: Le Toille from the Jean Dodal (1701) TdM currently preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale à Paris; Right: L’Estoille Jean Pierre Payen (1713) restitution deck by Yves Reynaud It is an odd mark Jodorowsky refers to (it has always reminded me of a set of lips), but it has precedent in the Dodal and Payen decks. In most of the other historical decks, the mark has been diminished and appears to be an ordinary belly button, or it is not present at all. In the Dodal and Payen, and well as the Noblet, the naked woman is flesh-colored, except for her face, which is strikingly white, like the Popess’s. In 1709, Madenié made her face flesh-colored like the rest of her body, and so it is in every historical TdM type-II, as well as Jodorowsky’s deck, contributing to the distinct impression that in his recreation of an authentic Tarot de Marseille, he and Phillipe Camoin cherry-picked (or outright contrived) details to further the narrative they had decided upon. So are the seventeen lines displayed in the Popess’s book a discovery of another harmonic resonance in the Major Suit or artifice introduced, consciously or otherwise, into Jodorowsky’s commentary? It is always a slippery slope, and even if we can find no antecedent, that does not in itself invalidate the image. Authentic symbols cannot result from focused, linear, rational thought. “They,” as Joseph Campbell writes, “are not manufactured; they cannot be ordered, invented, or permanently suppressed. They are spontaneous productions of the psyche, and each bears within it, undamaged, the germ power of its source.” When people try to devise symbols, they end up with signs, which stand for something completely known, and of course they are known, for they come from that part of us that quantifies and qualifies, labels and categorizes. Jodorowsky makes an intriguing case for the connection between the Popess and the star woman, but he does not follow through. Further, he does not cite any historical precedent, and when we look at other cards, we see in the Noblet, the book has six lines, linking La Papesse to Le Chariot. This is not an obvious connection, but it is not impossible to make either: Jodorowsky writes, “The Chariot enters the world like a conqueror, a traveler, or an inseminating prince.” In the Pierre Madenié, the Popess’s book has sixteen lines, referring us to La Maison Dieu, which might be interpreted as representing the traumatic experience of birth. We could apply the same line of associative thinking if one of the TdMs featured a book with twelve lines: Le Pendu, hangs upside down, like a fetus preparing to be born. If a book had twenty one lines, we would no doubt see the world dancer in his/her vulvic wreath; and if it had twenty lines, that might signal a birth into an eternal life, from the womb of the tomb into an incorruptible spiritual existence. We are able to devise an endless number of permutations, for our capacity for cleverness is boundless. In Francois Tourcaty’s 1745 TdM, the book has fifteen lines, a number that corresponds to the 15th arcanum, Le Diable.

Flesh-colored, it tells us that she is studying the laws of human incarnation. Because she is not reading it, it gives us reason to think that this open volume is nothing other than herself, waiting for someone to come to decipher it, to awaken her. It also refers to the Holy Scriptures: The High Priestess collects the language of God the Father, the living language.” Jean-Claude Flornoy, in Seeing the World: Tarot Signposts on the Path to Perception, writes, “The open book she holds on her knees is the great book of the knowledge of vitality and of nature.” The book in all the historical cards I am familiar with is flesh-colored, until we come to Rochus Schär, 1750, when the pages appear more white. Shortly thereafter, Nicolas Conver decided to make the pages gold, an innovation of his that did not catch on, though J. H. Arnoux and A. E. Amphoux (1801) did retain the gold color for the outer edges of the flesh-colored pages.

Unlike the number of lines, which I believe is more likely to be random than a revelation, this seems to be a significant detail, but it leaves us with questions that have yet to be satisfactorily addressed. Going all the way back to Noblet, why would the book be so full of vitality when the reader of the book appears lifeless (all the blood drained from her face and hands)? How do we interpret this? If the book is full of life, then would not her close contact with it also reinvigorate La Papesse? Perhaps this is what Claude Rochias intended to convey when his Popess’s hands were made flesh-colored. It may be the vitality is moving up through her body and will eventually reach her face. (If that was his intent, I wish he would have made her neck at least partially flesh-colored as well, to strengthen the impression.) Nicolas Conver continued this stream, and we see it in the Arnoux & Amphoux as well (1801) though in the Bernadine Suzanna (1839), her hands are white, once again. Left: Claude Rochias 1754 TdM (Yves Reynaud restitution deck); Center: De La Rue c. 1880, preserved in the British Museum; Bernadin Suzanne 1839 TdM currently preserved in the Swiss National Museum in Schaffhausen In the 1880 De La Rue, which became the model for Paul Marteau and Grimaud, not only the book is flesh colored, but so are the hands, face, and even the Popess’s sleeves, as well as the curtain that hangs behind her. “The flesh-colored drapery behind the tiara, shows that the higher part of the woman, a symbol of passivity, can be hidden by the veil of matter” (Marteau, trans. Digiovanni). Marteau goes on to contrast the veil representing her individual corporeal nature with the “immutable and eternal wisdom” represented by the three-tiered papal crown. But if this is the distinction we are meant to make, then it would seem that Conver’s idea of making the pages gold would be more on point. Of course, white (as we see in the Gassmann above) would be a fine choice, indicating the purity of God’s Word, which can bring life to the dead but cannot be corrupted itself by the contact: the flow is one way only. It is also possible that the card-makers intended to make a statement more relevant to history. For around a thousand years, during the Middle Ages in Europe, ordinary people were not allowed to read or even own a Bible. Further, it was a crime to translate a Bible into common language. This was a way for the Church to maintain control over the people: their congregants were utterly dependent upon the clergy for spiritual wisdom. The last thing the Church Fathers would have wanted was for people to be able to read and think for themselves. Bibles were only becoming available to the masses shortly before TdM imagery was created, but even then the issue was not put entirely to rest. There were many laws regulating the publication and reading of Bibles, and people who were found guilty of violating them were sometimes put to death. I am not an expert in this area, but it is possible that the Popess, with her lifeless face and hands was a statement against the Church for denying people direct access to the life-giving wisdom of the Holy Writ. |
