  • Get some enzyme spray specifically for addressing pet urine. There are lots of varieties online from pet warehouse places. Nature’s Miracle is a popular one. Get the urine destroyer, the stain and odour eliminator isn’t as good.

    It actually breaks down the urine residue as opposed to the other suggestions here which mask or encapsulate the smell without addressing the source.

    I have used enzyme on quite a few things I thought would never be usable again - def worth their weight in gold in my experience.




  • Carriers have an optimising function which used to be called voting (no idea if is this way) where the connection between a phone and a tower is determined by geographical mapping of signal strength. Think: a tech driving around neighbourhoods with a briefcase computer logging signal strength from each of their towers.

    That data governs which tower subscriber devices use. If this optimisation is insufficient, or if circumstances change which affect signal strength, line of sight, interference etc. your device may be connecting to a more distant tower.

    There are apps that can display a map of all radio towers, the carriers that have transceivers on those towers, and which tower you are currently connected to, along with signal direction and strength data. Most phones also have a diagnostic mode you can enable which provides more data about your device’s cellular connection.

    The data from such apps can be useful if you raise a complaint with your provider - of course no guarantees they’ll do anything, but providing them with quantitative data to support your request gives you the best chance of their taking action.


  • First up - I’m not a doctor, just well versed in this subject as a layman, I’m offering reassurance not medical advice.

    If you’re talking about serotonin syndrome you might be worrying too much. It’s a very rare condition, and it is important to understand the side effects and what you need to look out for. If you’ve been honest with your doctor about what medications you take and how much you drink etc, their job is to provide you with the safe medications and advice to treat your condition. Try not to let anxiety about potential side effects creep in. You’ve done the right thing and informed yourself. Stick to your prescription, follow your doctor’s advice about alcohol and lifestyle, and don’t fuck around with your dosages. I’m sure you’ll be ok. This is an exciting time for you. You’ve been working towards this for a year and a new chapter in your life starts tomorrow. You have every reason to look forward to it Waker.


  • It sounds like you might be seeing a specialist which is so important. I don’t know if general practitioners can prescribe stimulants in your country, but a good psychiatrist as your partner in the journey is vital - all cases are unique. I hope you feel like you have a health care provider who listens to you genuinely looking to understand your experience and work with you on improving it. I understand it’s good practice to start with the antidepressants as they can offer significant improvement without stimulants. If stimulants are deemed necessary they can be introduced once the depression stabilises. Rolling along for two years, sounds like a journey but you’re getting some traction now. Have you struggled to find the right antidepressant?
