It works really well for me! Since I’ve been on both, my mood has been ok almost every day, for the first time since puberty (10-15 years ago). Psych said that’s a known effect of this exact combo.

Idk for photos in particular I don’t experience many drawbacks from just using two separate physical external hard drives (every photo is backed up to both).

The capsule is the MP, the lengthy one is escitalopram (an SSRI antidepressant), the round ones are thyrostatics, for my autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Hahaha yeah it’s definitely just 6

(I just checked, it’s 19 on my phone, 21 on my laptop and 12 on my work PC)

My brain broke deciding whether it was the English or German word ‘also’

Felt prompted to share my lunch. Feeling healthy (yes one of the pills is MP as well).

This follow along while helping family is 100% why I keep a windows partition.

I’ve had 2 or more messenging apps for about a decade now because of this.

Everyone basically saying that you can fuck yourself and should never drive again is a bit of a dick at best. It’s ofc perfectly fine to not want to drive. But if you do have to, or if you end up wanting to in the future, it’s not like this was your only chance and you can never again learn. If you want/have to get back to it, please practice with someone experienced in a calm and safe environment. Pay for an instructor, go to and empty parking lot, etc. Take as much time as you need before you’re good enough to drive in traffic again.

If you have access to a decent psych, they should be able to work with you at that. Like, figure out whether meds are right for you and which ones to try after a certain one doesn’t work for you, effect or side-effect wise.

I keep seeing this meme and wondering if they meant ‘lattice’ or ‘lettuce’, or if the word indeed exists.

The officially changed it in my country to be an syndrome diagnosable in adults as well the very year I turned 18. I’m not saying it HAS to be because of me, but yeah.

Do you happen to have a guide or something you can recommend about self hosting email? Got a spare PC and don’t want to pay for email bc I don’t want my bank to know what email I use etc.

20+ years of unprompted advice (as in, when it’s not the topic at hand, just a reaction toy body; your advice is appreciated!) and I have NEVER heard of this, thank you!!

I’m a little better these days. It takes a lot of mental bandwidth for a lot of time. I’ve retrained myself to just rub my fingers together or sth. Meds help to stay on it. Also lots of moisturizing, so 1) you get to do sth with your hands and 2) there’s less stuff to pick at. I’m far from cured though- managed to grow my nails out, but still get my cuticles bleeding regularly.

Whenever someone suggests the ole remove distractions, I get reminded of that Rick and Morty scene that’s like I NEED TO GET ALL OF THIS SKIN OUT OF MY PERSONAL SPACE. Then the character flays themselves.

Thinking about it, if this were possible, I’d probably continue picking whatever is underneath.

I mean, it’s not just herd mentality. I’m just not willing to lock myself out of relationships because of my principles. It’s not my fault my mum can’t be convinced to ditch Whatsapp for signal. Not willing to give up communication with her.

Herd mentality would be if you did a thing because others do it even if there wouldn’t be any loss from switching to a better thing. It’s more complex if you’d lose out a great deal from the switch.

I honestly prefer text over either of those options. Saves time and doesn’t over stimulate. Plus, if I lose focus I can just go back, which would be tedious in a video.

Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.

Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.

The problem is that we allow individuals to amass so much wealth, it inevitably leads to the rest of us being at their mercy like that. If we’re lucky, they’ll be sorta benevolent, like this person. Would be much easier if we took out the randomness and just had the funds to do necessary stuff like this collectively.
