Hey everyone, just wanted to update those that care why I’ve been gone for a while. I had a mental health episode where I thought my life was in danger and hospitalized. As a veteran, I have some non-combat PTSD that affects me.

I got a little too obsessed with Bitcoin where it really affected me. Started believing that it was co-opted by the WEF because of posts I was seeing on Nostr and Twitter. Even if it were, I have no clue how I could impact it in any way.

I haven’t been open to many about this to non-Bitcoin friends because they just don’t get it. So thanks for reading this if you’ve gotten this far. I will be practicing to be balanced with Bitcoin since it’s only a tool to have a better life, not the only thing that matters. Thanks for the supportive friends I’ve made with you all. 🫶

I'm glad you're doing okay and back here with us. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

It got a little scary, but I’m here is what’s important

Hey , welcome back. If you need help speak up 🫂

Stay safe and shout over anytime you need to talk.

Thank you, I’ll remember that just in case.

Thanks, everyone. If there’s one thing I can add to our space is that speaking up for help during an episode should be supported. We can’t afford to lose any Bitcoiners. It’s not because you’re a Bitcoiner, it’s because each of you bring value to this world with the kind of mindset it takes to be behind a cause like this. Keep going, God willing.

The solution to the problem of Paranoia is always research more. With bitcoin this is a totally doable task because just through reading the Whitepaper and running a node yourself you can feel very secure knowing how the system works and exactly why the WEF can't co-opt Bitcoin.

Good luck with your recovery!

Thanks, Luke. Researching more could help, but I don’t know how to explain it. I’ve read the WP and run a node (albeit, it needs maintenance), but my mind was running on little sleep, overly stressed, and feeling a lot of fear in the moment. Really just need to slow down.
