You've just given me some great ideas, thanks! :) I was very fixated on the idea of exercise that I can do at home – while I don't particularly mind being around other people (e.g. if I went to a gym or swimming), it's not exactly something that I'm very keen on, either. But I googled 'cardiovascula...

The past month was really difficult for me. After I reactivated my Facebook account, I thought at first that a marvellous new world had opened up to me. The reasons why I had deactivated my account in the first place - feelings of envy, anxiety and fear - no longer seemed present, and I was thinking...

P.S. – I just realised you've passed the 6 months mark ... congratulations!

Thanks for all your replies, Bagobones! For the past few weeks things were pretty difficult for me, which is why I haven't posted for a while, but luckily after every slump things always go uphill again at some point. I can't really tell what determines the cycle of feeling low and then feeling alri...

I think this has been the first time that I haven't posted an update for over two weeks, and I'm surprised how much has happened on this forum in such a short time. In the past I've usually tried to catch up on other people's posts, but looking at the sheer amount of posts with new replies, that mig...

Yes I'm OK thanks. I've been thinking myself about having some more counselling. It's been about six weeks since I finished my previous sessions, and they have a rule stating that a client has to wait at least six weeks after the last session before they can reapply. Originally I was thinking of app...

Hopefully you're not planning to return!

But What about drug use and abuse? Is it a cry for help in disguise? I have a close friend who smokes heavily everyday (we are talking dabbing and wax and everything else) and occasionally uses other substances. I know he had a troubled past so I think that it's a way to cover up wounds. I haven't ...

18 weeks 6 days [...] I have even grown a belly!! :cry: hehe.. [...] That sounds very familiar to me. Not that long ago, I was at least two clothes sizes smaller than now, but somehow I was still telling myself that my weight is in the 'normal' range, until I checked my BMI online yesterday, and I ...

The twelve-step program isn't my cup of tea either, but there is no doubt that there are people for whom nothing else worked until they found the fellowship, so I'm not going to knock it. Even if only 10% of people who go to meetings stay permanently clean, it has already served its purpose. Sure, y...

Thanks! :D I wholeheartedly agree. Nobody has the right to tell anybody else what is right or wrong for them, unless (a) that person specifically asks for advice, or (b) they are harming somebody else with their behaviour. Personally, I used to be very critical towards anyone using benzodiazepines, ...

This means you should be extra careful with the L-Tryptophan and not take it with other drugs and medication and not excessively. It's probably best to leave it isolated from the other stuff to avoid Serotonin-troubles. Just to be safe. Yes, the same is the case with 5-HTP (of which Tryptophan is a...

Definitely Zinc , which (like Magnesium) assists the nervous system and helps with lowering anxiety levels (along with other effects, such as increased intensity of dreams, and better dream recall). Apparently, most people (especially those with various mental health problems including depression an...

Oh, and I just realised that it's a new day, so it's my birthday ... and I really want to be very kind to myself, so maybe I can think of something nice that I don't usually do. Whatever my activities for the day are going to be, it won't involve spending any money, as I've already ordered myself lo...

Based on personal experience, LSD and especially MDMA is a terrible and misguided way of getting over addiction. In my opinion. I'm sorry to hear about your experience, and I hope it all works out for you. We are all individuals, and one person's medicine is another's poison. There is no need for a...
