I will start tomorrow.
Be gentle with yourself. It's very hard to get accustomed to being without any drug so take your time with tapering down/off any and all stuff you're using.

Do you really think you should sell your apartment? With housing getting more expensive, I'd hang on to any real estate you already have. But I may be totally wrong about it since I don't know much about it.

My mom sold my condo 🤕

The oil sands are starting back up so it could have been a good investment still. Oh well.

Can you take a Klonopin? I know it's not ideal, but if it helps, maybe something to consider...

I have to get rid of some of my stuff. I have too much stuff in my opinion so I'm going to try to cut back on the amount of physical stuff I have and be a little more minimalistic

I never tried it. I should try a low dose (25-37.5mg) and see if it could help with my symptoms;


"Sadness, unhappiness

Loss of interest in enjoyable activities

Anger, frustration, irritability

Sleep changes (too much or too little)

Feelings of worthlessness

Thoughts of death or suicide; suicidal attempts

Weight loss or weight gain"


A little serotonin to lift my mood, a little more norepinephrine for alertness and ADHD.. Why not?


I'll taper off of phenibut completely, stop smoking weed and stop using psilocybin mushrooms.


I should give it a try... Cuz self medicating is extremely mentally exhausting.
In 2013 I was put on cymbalta at the inpatient psych ward. I liked it, when I was there. But it's a very hard drug to taper off because it only comes in huge increments.

I tried to take it again when I was at home but I got too nervous about any side effects.

I wish I could....when I bought the place they said you could rent with board approval but the board has approved a total of zero rentals in the past so it was basically a lie.

Regular adrenaline-anxiety panic attacks last 10-20 minutes.

Dissociative panic attacks seem to last hours for me. In August of 2020 when I was in the hospital, it lasted 5 hours.

Benzos still help very well. 1-3mg of lorazepam worth is all I need.. But also 0.25-0.75mg of clonazepam can work too.

But now since I've been on 10mg of olanzepine every day, the dissociative panic has vanished.

The QR code thing makes me paranoid. The whole thing about this does. It's like, what I don't know that I should be paranoid about has surpassed what I knew earlier - In such a quick amount of time that it doesn't matter anymore.

watching mass, I hope I'm a good person, I try to be, I don't know if I'll ever be remembered by anyone after I die someday because I'm most likely not having kids, and I'm not really interested in relationships anymore.

I journal a lot, so maybe someday someone will read them (I'm not sui by the way I'm just thinking about the future )

When I was young I hated the thought that I'd ever not be remembered for my music. Now it doesn't upset me as much as it used to. But I need to put all the stuff on tape. Anyway, I asked my friend what would happen to us or somesuch. He said "we'll die and be forgotten". It doesn't horrify me anymore. Planet earth is all temporary anyway.
