  1. Live life because you love it, not because you need something from life to live. Spontaneity requires wisdom and trust.
  2. Nah not all; I’m allergic to mostly shellfish. Dating has definitely helped me get out of my shell, though
  3. Step 1: How to go about making bold decisions. … Step 2: What most actually do.
  4. The ketamine clinic took me in without hesitation. I hadn’t take any SSRIs for about a year up until that point. Though, I’m sure there are many other factors they’ll take into account, such as how suicidal someone is (which was not my case). I was actually the one who was hesitating going into it, especially as the date of my initial trip was coming in close. The staff was really kind and patient with all of my rationalizations (e.g. I kept nagging them about if something will go wrong in a variety of ways). One of the nurses finally had it with my BS, set a boundary, and lovingly told me something along the lines of, “Look, we are not a day care service. Either you go into this treatment or not. There’s no more excuses you can give us. And there are other places that are willing to help if you don’t want to take this seriously anymore.” I got the message right away, and made a decisive decision. In conclusion, taking the plunge and not running away was definitely one of the best decisions I made in my life, hands down.
  5. It’s not that nothing is being done, it’s that changing the content doesn’t mean you’re changing the structure.
  6. Even those schools lack in diversity and genuine understand of the conditions that they are trying to treat. Categorizations of people are only as intelligent as the system/structure in which they are based upon.
  7. I honestly have a vague, insignificant memory. That part of me died a peaceful death. Try it yourself if you’d like to bring me back to life
  8. For sure. I need it to send me occasional push notifications reminding me that I am NOT AWAKE 😴
  9. Stuff like Lexapro, Zoloft, Abilify, Wellbutrin, Luvox…. you make a whole musical number out of it. I don’t regret any of it, since I was able to use all of this context while filling out my ketamine infusion intake form. No history of struggle means no ketamine for thee!
  10. Simple ptsd is what’s presented on TV shows and word of mouth stories Or worse, believing you’ve got the full picture of a complex issue by simply watching a 30-second YouTube Shorts.
  11. There is disorderliness in the orderliness and vice versa.
  12. I’ve trialed over a dozen different SSRIs and psychiatrist meds when I was a teen/young adult going through the roughest times of my life. I came out of it much stronger despite the debilitating war inside my body and mind I was fighting.
  13. Same question applies to people who are shooting up fentanyl.
  14. One time while at the grocery store checkout, the lady scanning my stuff held up a rectangular bag and asked me, “Oh, you like edamame?” We proceeded to have a chill 2 minute conversation about our love for soy and seafood. It’s the small, genuine interactions that make all the difference and open up a brand new world of possibilities Oh, I also happen to be allergic to seafood, but that didn’t matter
  15. This is NOT how to speak to a woman!
  16. It takes courage to be open to the close-minded. There’s a lot to learn from it with an open-mind.
  17. Nice! This made visualize this forum as its own collective commonplace book.
  18. God loves creating Infinite Models. God is every birthday card greeting God and having a Godly party. Whether you show up to the party or not makes God go God is Infinite Parties
  19. Assuming that caring deeply about a war from a distance inherently makes you selfless is a selfish assumption. We need more people who are willing to turn inwards at their own selfishness. This is the real challenging work; not the endless debating and finger pointing. Contemplating this war actually helped in my own personal life, connecting the larger conflict with my own inner conflict.
  20. High quality jokes always look into the greater context.
  21. Donald Trump and Elon could team up to right this wrong.
  22. Spending billions on defense mechanisms must be the solution, then.
