My Lexapro helps.

Raw dogging that shit is not what matters but looking at what you care for can help in any case.

Our governments, media and sadly often enough the people around you try to convince you that nothing can be done. Wrong. There are people everywhere around the world bringing positive change to their communities, even if it won't do any systematic change over night or at all.

Our governments will crumble and our society will change and i am convinced that this will bring us all closer together. Don't let hateful bots tell you otherwise.

I self medicated as a gen x'er with alcohol...kratom ... Thc and the knowledge that there is a surety I will either die early because of a 9k deductible or homeless and in a tent. That's how we do.

(Irrational?) lack of trust in the medical system and its data security in the face of a hostile government.

I've never done any drugs or alcohol or anything in my life. I'm in a lot of pain and life is miserable but I have no desire to put poison into my body either.

Mate, I'm going to urge to to try cannabis gummies. Your body actually has natural cannabinoid receptors that help regulate your mood and pain management. Cannabinoids are 100% natural. I wouldn't recommend smoking, because I feel you on trying to avoid poisons and such, but cannabis is such an amazing and natural pain reliever for chronic pain. It's also anti-inflammatory so it helps massively for burns, bites, scrapes, etc. It can also help boost your mood.

If your worried about "getting high", CBD gummies do the same thing but minimize the psychoactive THC from the mix. Let me know if you have any questions.

And that was three years ago

Couldn't find a doctor who could fit me in for a refill appointment and had to wean myself off them last year. It's been...interesting.

Some of us don't have a choice. We aren't even given that much.

[–] chris@l.roofo.cc 1 points 2 weeks ago

Me. But only because I don't find the energy to get a new prescription.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I have great confidence in my base state of mind that any form of alteration would make me lesser.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno. I'm definitely funnier sober.
