Despite forgetting my meds earlier this week, i have bounced back mentally and want to spread some good vibes!

So, to that end, how ya doing? Been alright?

Purpose of this thread, for the newer folks, is just to open up a space to tell us about anything cool you’ve got going on, or vent if ya got something on your mind.

Remember, you are loved Care-Comrade

For my own part, “worked” 85 hours last week, but got paid today. Am officially caught up on rent and my internet bill, gonna chip away on power and gas next. Once those two are down, I’ll officially be out of the financial hole that unemployment put me in and can pay back personal debts! Have an interview Friday for another tech job, so I can stop doing the AI training thing if it pans out (but I’d still keep it up enough to buy a nice amp head >.>)

On a not so great note, I’ve been finding myself craving cathinone stims the past few days. Fortunately, i don’t have the money or the sources, so that works out nicely. Another positive note - 8 months without booze!

That’s really all with me. Hows about you?

    I’m going off tramadol for however many days to see how bad the withdrawal is. (Please tell me about how I am going end up destitute and addicted) If it’s more than slightly bad I’m off for good, and I’ll have to accept being a completely busted corpse instead of a mostly busted corpse.

      Good luck! I’ve cut opiates cold turkey, but it was a nasty “research chemical.” Tramadol isn’t a particularly strong opioid in the grand scheme, but I think it has some SSRI stuff in there too doesn’t it?

      Feel free to DM me if you need an ear! Proud of ya, and good luck!

        Tramadol is simulatenously a pathetic, shitty, worthless opiate cut with paracetamol that doesn’t even do anything get on something stronger, and also I’m already a casualty of the opioid epidemic, I am going to be a statistic in a year.

        I was on and quit tramadol before, a couple months, that was easier than going off of zoloft. This is a 37.5mg dose. I asked for it because nothing else makes my sternum stop trying to kill me effectively and I still won’t walk into a dispensary. It keeps me moving but there isn’t much left of me now.

        My mood has been extremely deranged partly since I cut cyproterone acetate doses down to 12.5mg.
