So I have a trans friend who wants to stay complete anonymous, who just recently had their power shut off. I do not actually know this person full frontal, my AA sponsor just mentioned this to me. If my sponsor trusts someone, I trust them. Take this as you will. Also if you're adjusted to sending money to my accounts, we're sending all the money to my sponsor for anonymity of the recipient. If you want to send it my way over PayPal instead of DMing, I'll make sure it gets to them.

The recipient has stated that they had their power cut off after being 50 pence short of their power bill. Because of that, there's a minimum 25 pound + "fees" cost to getting the power back on. They're really scared right now, and I told my sponsor I'd check here.

Like I said, even if you've previously sent to me, DM me for the payment info so I can make sure they get them money. They only have PayPal, so that's easy enough to just send to me, but Cashapp and Venmo are a different beast entirely.

 

I make one at work, and it confusing as hell to me. For those of you who don't know, a club sandwich standardly contains lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, bacon, and some sort of mayo based sauce. Its gimmick is that it's a sandwich on top of a sandwich, using 3 pieces of bread instead of the standard 2. Instead of being something that you can realistically take a bite of, the club sandwich specializes in being absolutely fucking impossible to take a bite out of. Do club sandwich enjoyers just completely unhinge their jaw and schmack like they're in Scooby Doo? What does the third piece of bread even add to the sandwich other than more height? Why don't you add a 4th piece of bread and just have 2 sandwiches?

At work, we cut them in quarters and put sticks through 2 quarters, making a kebab of sandwich. I literally cannot imagine how these fuckers eating this are doing it. Eating a sandwich like corn on the cob is a disturbing thought, but possible. This is one of the dumbest pieces of food I can ever imagine

 
 

I'm looking into starting DIY, I really just can't wait any longer. However, I am absolutely terrified of needles. I won't be able to shoot myself up with it. I'm looking into the forms of estrogen, and it appears that I can buy the form used for estradiol pills. But I'm finding very little information on DIY that isn't focused on injections. I'm thinking about making a water solution and just taking it out of a dropper, but I know I'd need a preservative to keep it safe for a long time.

Life is so bad right now. Everything is fucking awful. But things could have been a lot more awful. I posted on here last night begging for someone to talk me into taking my psych meds and someone did it. They even worked with the stupid parameters mentally ill me set up for myself. I never expected anybody to send me money for cigarettes. But that pack of smokes got me back on my anti-psychotics

I really don't know what I'd do without you guys. When this website is down, it is genuinely painful. I understand why the site goes down, it has to happen, but I look forward to seeing the Hexbear front page than I do for anything else in my life. I hate to imagine how much worse things would have been in my life over the past few years without Hexbear. People on here have shown up for me more than anybody else. Thank you guys so much

Well just know if you ever hit that side effect of not!Parkinsons, you know. Back on abilify, it was so bad that I fully relapsed on opiates because they were the only thing that would help me sit still. I wanted to kill myself just so I could get some sleep, it was that bad. If you get it, there is no doubt in your mind

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah I think you're right. I should be on top of the world right now. Every downer ever mixed together with some beer and pot on top, I should feel amazing. But even when doing things I normally enjoy, it was like I was being drug through glass shards. I am miserable without my meds, and even notice how miserable I am without them regularly. Even long before I started seeing a psych.

I've always really needed medication, and always really wanted to self medicate myself. I really need to break that. Sorry for the rant, I know this might be dump-y but I have to write this out for myself to understand myself I guess.

Anti-psychotics all have an interesting effect where they dampen all dopamine and seratonin receptors except for your nicotine receptors. Your nicotine receptors are the last thing that make you feel fully as joyous as you were before meds. Nicotine also curbs every side effect of APs, increased appetite and dissociation being the main ones. Once I started anti-psychotics, I straight up told the people closest to me that I was now never going to be able to quit nicotine. I could accept switching forms, I didn't feel like I needed the cig, but I at least needed the nicotine.

I religiously follow Jim on everything. I wake up to a Jimothy Gaming video, then a revival tournaments video at bed time. Occasionally one on Jimothy Cool as well. I even start listening to The Fridge when I'm really bored. To say that the Jimvitational is the most exciting thing I've seen all year is an understatement. Knowing there's another Hexbear Jimothy fan means so much to me.

Pailperidone is one I'm actually interested in. How does it treat you? Was the injection actually good? I'd love the ability to not skip my meds for a month if it works that well.

Olanzapine was so weird for me. So much heavier with all of the worst side normal effects of anti-psychs. That's the drug that made me stop taking my prescribed meds.

Abilify gave me akathesia that I'm still living with and correcting.

How does the combo work for you? I have personal trauma with much of your cocktail, but I'm curious if it actually treats you right.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I need to start smoking cigs again. The pouches are great, but I feel certain areas of my life actively degrading because I don't have the regimen that cigarettes provided.

Yeah, I guess I just keep forgetting how low my episodes are. Literal months long of nothing but dissociation. They're so long that they always make me forget why I even live. What atypicals are you on if you don't mind me asking? Feel free to ignore this question

Yeah, what the title says. I absolutely never lie about how I spend the money I receive on here. I can get one for less than $5, but would really prefer to get a $5 packs. You guys have seen me post often enough, I always try to make it clear how important something is or isn't. I'm going to level with you all, my life is going absolutely terribly right now. I am currently drunk writing this because I relapsed this week. I haven't taken my psych meds in days, I've just been drinking through the withdrawals. I already got my stepkids covered, they have food and all their needs covered, y'all know I do my best for those fuckers. No starving kids this time. If someone has a starving kid, please ignore me.

I used to have a habit to smoke a ciggy every time I took one of my psych meds. Not a healthy habit, but it got me to take my psych meds. I've finally middle grounded myself to "I'll get back on meds if I can get a cigarette." and no way to get cigs. I normally wouldn't be so dramatic about some smokes, but I know if I don't get back on my shit I'm going to end up dying by my own hand. I can't keep going without meds. I need to make this negotiation with myself.

DM me for any payment info, and if you guys just wanna try to convince me to actually take the meds that'd probably be about as good as money. I feel so bad asking for something so stupid, but I need to start taking my meds again. This is going to ruin my life again if I can't stop it.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I've been really trying to kick the booze for a while. I go to an AA meeting at least once a week because I'm so tired of being like this. I used to love smoking cigs after I took my meds but I actually quit smoking to do nic pouches, and I think losing my post med cig was probably damaging.

Alcohol truly makes me miserable though. Mark my words, if I don't stop drinking soon I will be dead by my own hand before 25.

I have schizophrenia, a condition that fights itself being treated. I do pretty well on the meds. I'm pretty happy on the meds. But I still want to just abandon them and go all the way into being an addict until death. Part of me just doesn't want to do well. No matter how solid the solid becomes, I feel this deep need for these massive good and bad swings. I don't just need the highs of the psychotic mania, I need the lows too. A part of me wants to eat my hand again.

I've gone about a week without my anti-psychotic. I'm kinda split on whether or not I should take it tonight. I know this may seem like too much, but please convince me to take my meds

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I also have hallucinations that make skin picking even worse. I one time ate a tendon out of my finger because I thought it was a parasite.

Getting on zoloft has made the nailbiting completely dissapear.

HR is so fucking fun. Also, a beautiful game even years later, the art style really has held up. The world they built for HR was just so interesting and fun to be in. Very flawed, but ultimately one of the games I hold most fondly from that console generation.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

I made a post about this story forever ago, but it's always a good one to retell. I have schizophrenia, and a lot of emotional swings. One day a few years ago, I woke up and was ready to kill myself. I was gonna get pizza beer and drugs first, but I was ready to go. On the way to go get pizza, I see this Nazi rally on a bridge I drive on a lot. Pulled over and threw moldy coffee at them and cussed them out. One of them ran after my car, but I went into reverse and came inches away from hitting the fucker. Came back after I got my pizza and drugs, they were all gone and just left some lame ass flag there that I stole.

Anti-psychotics are all major life changes. They dampen your dopamine receptors quite heavily. There is no anti-psychotic without the effects I hate because I hate the main effect. I have only tried 3 or 4, but Risperidone is the one that works the best for me by quite a long shot. I even look forward to it sometimes.

There is a side of me that knows taking Risperidone is my saving grace. Another side of me wants to just completely throw it out the window and use fent until die. I have to fight that side a lot. Risperidone makes that battle a lot easier.

Oh yeah I function great as a drunk. Arguably better than when I'm sober. I face very little consequences IRL for my alcoholism. I just know that I'm an alcoholic and refuse to ignore it. All the consequences are in my head. I might be an alcoholic, but I'm not going to be an alcoholic without fighting it. I've really appreciated your support.

Speaking of support, I've switched over to the nicotine pouches. They're a lot cheaper than cigs, and you can do them in more places. I personally have a much easier time going into somewhere like walmart with a pouch in my mouth, it's opened up a whole world that wasn't available to smoking me. It's made me feel like smoking me was missing out. Might be worth giving a shot.

I hate how cheap alcohol is. It's always have 50 cents for a shot around here, so I always have the money for it. Whatever quarters are in my purse is my alcohol fund. It feels like just being drunk and hiding it from everybody is the best path. I stopped taking my anti-psychotic days ago. I'm fucking up a lot of progress I made right now. Alcohol doesn't make me angry or anything like that, it just makes me recenter my entire life around it. It makes me only care about getting more drunk. I hate everything rn. Sorry for the rant guys, I just really needed to get it off my chest.

I budgeted shit out pretty much perfectly this week. Gas in the tank and food in the fridge. This is an unimportant post. Even used some change to pick up my new zoloft perscription, which has been fantastic so far. I have shit I need to do today, like writing out recipes and cleaning and just can't get the energy up, and I haven't bought coffee in ages because it's expensive. PM me for payment info, I appreciate it a lot.

Edit: someone got me! I really appreciate you guys

 

My ex bought us tickets to go see the Flaming Lips because that's our band. We're broken up now, but still going to the concert together tonight. I haven't been to a show since middle school and don't know shit about concerts. Is there anything I should know before going?
