Yeah that makes sense. Methylphenidate and cocaine both work as dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Cocaine also acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor as well, something missing from Ritalin’s neurotransmitter profile, as it were. And it’s for this reason that doing cocaine whilst on an SSRI feels almost exactly like snorting methylphenidate.

Either way, try to limit the tachycardia if you can, for obvious reasons, not the least of which is: none of us are getting any younger, ya know? 😉

Absolutely agree with you and I have been drinking water constantly pretty much like a ridiculous amount to try and keep the blood pressure down. My girlfriend said she would be so mad at me if I have a heart attack, lol. Feel pretty good tho I don't have side effects or anything like that but when I was flying up I thought damn dude what the hell were you thinking should have dragged that out a bit. You live and learn you know, I'm just making something to eat right now some Chedder and Broccoli Rice w/ some Chicken thrown in the mix. Will deff be waiting awhile to take anymore of I even do tonight, I'm feeling content with this amount right now.

*Edit* started having some chest pain last night pretty mild but it was deff sketchy and it still feels kinda fucked up now. Will never take that much again in a day, honestly don't think I would ever take more than 120mgs just to be on the safe side. Thank goodness for my girlfriend being there to talk me thru it.

Nice, I'm also trying to find solutions, coming up flat though.

I've just been very bored which is the deeper structural issue, kinda stable and functioning yes, but otherwise there's really nothing going on.

Funny how boredness could become a "deeper structural issue", the very young me predicted this but he was all wrong on the reasons why.

What do you mean? What did you expect to become bored with, and what's currently boring you?

Or do you mean your former self didn't see the APs coming?

Young me thought work and the whole routine would bore me =D
It's not that, I've barely listened to music, gone for walks, haven't been in interesting online conversations, haven't seen anything particularly good etc... in months, for example. It's become boring and unengaging, but everything else has too so... I used to be a pro at never being bored.

And I have been just fine with it, that's the problem. I don't think it's actively solvable except for titrating down which does seem attractive

"Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime"


Woke up late, didn't set an alarm, didn't feel great about it... gonna just give it a better go tomorrow. I have to be up by 8am anyways because I gotta take the dog to the vet. She's okay, just needs her heartworm med refilled and they insist on testing her for heartworms first.

So tomorrow. Tomorrow I will start stopping. I will wake up. I will go to bed early tonight. Change will occur.
 
Man, work has been so intense this week. Both if my web platforms are deep in testing, with 2 or 3 people actively spending most of their time testing them up, down, left and right. Pages and pages and pages of emails, hundreds of Jira tickets, but it's coming along. The finish line is finally in sight for one of them, we have a V1 launch date target of July 1st. The other one, I still need to develop the entire reporting side of the platform. We were in limbo for months, thinking this other company's service would do it for us, and finally they were like yeah, this one thing you need, we aren't going to put on our roadmap and we can't do. So, looks like it'll be from scratch. I'm supposed to be working on determining feasibility (I already know I can do it) and timing (no idea how to determine that in all honesty), but I'm too bogged down in addressing issues. We're starting to use both of them for live projects, as a way to really test it, so whenever something comes up I have to jump on it really fast so it doesn't fuck anything up.

Interesting stuff, but man is it intense right now.

There are various ways to look at boredom, each of which has defensible validity depending on one's life circumstances and psychological variables. But one thing boredom is not is a crime. Boredom is only a crime for the addict, who shall swiftly and resolutely punish emptiness of feeling with anything at all, cheap 'n synthetic as it may be.

Boredom is the hunger for experience. So the fact you feel boredom means you're intelligent enough to perceive repetitive pattern, intelligent enough to grow this aversion to a lack of novelty. Hunger isn't a crime either. It's a physiological state, it's the organism signaling it's ready to eat. Extended hunger isn't even a crime. In a state of controlled fasting, the brain grows.

In a state of boredom, a state of actual intentional minimization of activity excepting breath, the prefrontal cortex grows. Boredom can therefore be used even as a biohack. But you need to systematically, radically, sincerely be bored, and sit with it. That way you attract control into your life, influencing its @Vastness of scope of variables.

Or it can used as a signal to intelligently organize activity as our friend @Xorkoth regularly shows. He uses his hunger to clear a lot of plates. :)
 
This scumbag in the halfway house stole all the cash from my wallet and backpack which was 50 dollars and stole my Debit Cards, my backpack and the piece of shit had alcohol hidden in my locker. Stole over a 1,000 dollars from someone else last night. Thankfully he wasn't able to access the funds in my account and all of my money is still on there which is like 1,300 dollars if he took that also I would have been crushed. This turned into the worse day.

I'm so upset right now guys 😭
 
Damn Charlie that sucks! Well, at least he only took $50, really. You need to cancel your cards right now though if you haven't already, I assume you have online banking, with my bank, you can literally press a button online to turn them off and order a new card. Generally any credit card or bank card these days will have that through your account online.

You didn't get in trouble for the alcohol, did you? I hope that dude gets charged for that
 
No I'm not in trouble for the alcohol. Just stole a whole bunch of his food that he left behind and laundry detergent so I got some shit back at least I'm so fucking shook by this situation. It was such a violation of privacy and now I have to change how I get paid at my job I'm gonna switch over to using Chime instead of Cash App that was so dumb to get my direct deposits on there. Thank God he wasn't able to transfer the funds over cuz I had my phone up with me in bed, I didn't even have a passcode locking it if I had left it down charging he would have deff transfer the funds.

I was being facetious, just referencing that 'Welcome to the Internet' song by Bo Burnham lol


Last night I was asleep by 11pm and was up at 8am today, proud of myself. Of course, the dog had a vet appointment to make at 9am so I had to get up either way... but I'm gonna stick with this, time to get busy.
 
yeah you gotta be careful these days with online banking and stuff. Fortunately there is 2-FA (2 factor authentication), if you don't have your bank card and other things set up with that you should look into it. People try to steal from you, but they can't get in without a code sent to your phone.

That does really suck though. :(
 
Yeah you can't abbreviate 2-FA around here without anyone wondering where to get some. :ROFLMAO:
lmao, that's on point 😂

I had some of the craziest nitrous-induced visuals last week while on a modest 17.5mg of 4-AcO-MiPT. I watched, closed eye, completely fully photorealistic surroundings brighten and then burn away in what looked like nuclear fire as I whited out into oblivion...there was more, and it was blissful.

As has been the case lately, going back for more caused the bliss to sour immediately, but it remained exquisitely beautiful and rich with metaphors. I'm dubious of the valur of disssos peeling back of the curtain to see the great cosmic joke, but it was wild nonetheless.
 
The last few days, my upper lip has been dry. Every day it gets dryer. I keep using chapstick/lip balm, and it offers some brief relief, but doesn't seem to improve it. I'm drinking plenty of water. It's really weird, because it's warm/hot and humid. And I don't typically have a problem with dry lips, usually not even in the winter. It's really bad today, my lip feels almost a bit scaly. I have no idea why it's happening, it's starting to sketch me out a little bit.

I somewhat wonder if I have covid (for the third time), because I hung out with a friend last week and the day after, he got tested because he found out someone he hung out with had it, and he was positive. He never got sick, and I don't feel sick either, but covid can manifest some weird symptoms. I mean I had it the last time just a few months ago (shortly after my booster :cautious:).

Seems like people are getting it over and over, and generally it's the same people, while others never get it (like my girlfriend).

I have that problem sometimes. Previously had it for years straight. For me i think it's a manifestation of some spiritual malaise, or as we say bluntly in the west: Stress.

I don't think it's simply biting the lip more, but rather an internal systemic thing. When i feel good, it doesn't happen.

I always assume that anything can be reached through the mind! I want to shed all materialistic spiritual blindness and impotence. I love it when faith in interconnectedness proves right and every single problem can be taken as a friendly reminder to Do Better, Be More, Never Give Up, Do Not Fear Fear.

This is probably not much of advice but i like sharing my takes on weird subjects. Now i've made a post that makes me suspect that i'm manic, triggered into preaching by anything that happens. Treating another man's chapped lip as an opportunity to go off about spiritual bliss, is for sure a remarkably odd thing to do.

holy fuck last night i went on the most powerful trip of my entire existence. This k hole was fucking mad blew away any trip i ever had before. Thank fuck it induces amnesia to a degree it was fucking insanity. This was beyond anything. FUcking blew me away.

Fuck I discovered some deep insights into my own being and darkest parts of my mind. It scared the fucking shit out of me. i have been in many many k holes. But this topped a new fucking level. Just wow. No words can be start explaining what i experinced. This was beyond death. Gone for a endless eon with no way back. this made psychedelics look like childs play lol.

No wonder we can't bring back shit from that realm. Its just pure utter fucking insanity. I understood it all beyond all humans things and the world. The wild waves of consciousness as i surfed through infinity. I understood where I came from and my unfolding fractal pattern of life. I saw the darkest parts of reality, as i was plunged into the depths of the unconsciousness.

I was slung across the void into utter insanity and sheer madness. In those depths I saw through the duality into oneness of all. Including the union of darkness and light. Through this I transcended my human identity and was plunged further into the endless mysteries of life, the universe and god.

This made my first acid trip look fucking tame in comparison.

Thank fuck ketamine puts you out of action. Reality was turned inside out.
