Hear hear sister! I showed up in 2025... But I then proceeded to orange pill my husband! π§‘
Dreams/nightmares can be super intense while tapering off of SSRIs. The last two nights I have faced apocalyptic terrors. Good times. One day and one night at a time. #ssrihyperbolictaper
Hello there.
It's been a couple months.
I'm three steps down in my ssri hyperbolic taper...only 30 more steps/months to go. A few rough days, but mostly doing well. Added some red light therapy into the mix as of yesterday, and loving it already. Went with sauna space so I can feel the heat from the incandescent bulbs instead of led lights.
Also following a #peatstr diet and it is really making me feel good. Much better energy levels. Which is nice, since these stupid meds can cause such fatigue.
β‘οΈπΊπΈ NEW - Starbucks releases apology after fights and arguments break out at various locations over their new Glass Starbucks Bearista cup.
Starbucks fans are fuming and fighting over the company's new bear cup. One fight broke out in Houston and even made local news.
"The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations," a Starbucks spokesperson said to the New York Post.
"Despite shipping more Bearista cups to coffeehouses than almost any other merchandise item this holiday season, the Bearista cup and some other items sold out fast."
"We understand many customers were excited about the Bearista cup and apologize for the disappointment this may have caused."

We are so fucked as a species...
Sigh... Back when I was proud to be Canadian. But duct tape can't fix this shit show. π
Yikes lol

When I learned that Spotify was putting out AI crap, I realized I wanted to go back to listening to music by collecting albums, listening in analog, and appreciating music one album at a time instead of an onslaught of streaming music. Building back my vinyl collection one album at a time. Damn...they've gotten more expensive over the years. But it's a better sound and a better immersive experience when you pull the LP out of the cover, clean it, place the needle over and gently put it down. I love it!
Sadly, I can't just replace them. Coming off these drugs too quickly can be life threatening. Last time I went through withdrawal was terrifying. I don't think I'd be alive today if it weren't for my husband. But as I come off of them...my goal is all about natural ways to heal my body, getting the nutrients I need, and finding a holistic way to care for myself and my mental well-being. β€οΈ
My moods are fine. It's coming off these meds that cause withdrawal. It's hell. These drugs alter brain chemistry and you need to come off of them super slowly. Lifestyle changes are good, and I've drastically changed my diet and lifestyle. But because of what these drugs have done to the receptors in the brain, I have to taper off very, very slowly.
I shared this video with my therapist and requested that she watch it, so she can use that info while I work with her during my three year taper coming off of an ssri. She watches it, and understands, and I'm so grateful I am building a team to support me through this.
If you are wanting more info on the effects of these drugs, how to safely come off of them, check out outro.com They are building an amazing library of resources, and I'm incredibly grateful for them!

β‘οΈποΈ NEW - Psychiatrist Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring Says the βChemical Imbalanceβ Narrative For Depression Was a βWhite Lieβ
βThey have not found that there is any difference between depressed and un-depressed people [β¦] That's why we don't use any biological markers in the diagnosis of any psychiatric conditions.β

Canada is pushing up retirement age to 70 & 75 for federal pensions π
Not by reducing old age payments, but by not increasing them properly and only able to attain the increases in payments later.
Yet people voted for it it droves... I don't get it π΅βπ« but that's what Canadians voted for, and got it.
AND at the same time the government is pushing #MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) government sponsored suicide program.
A connection? Maybe... π€·ββοΈ
https://www.moneysense.ca/columns/retired-money/delaying-cpp-and-oas-to-age-70/
Yep. They destroyed our economy, the cost of everything is skyrocketing, but here's an offer you can't refuse ... you can "choose" to retire later. And hey ... if that doesn't work, have you heard about MAID?
Remember how I was writing a book? Well, I gave up on it. But then I wrote a different one:
https://building-nostr.coracle.social/
This book is both practical and philosophical. It ellides a lot of the details you can otherwise get by reading Nostr NIPs, focusing instead on all the things I've learned over three years working on nostr.
It includes a number of contrarian opinions which may be partially or completely wrong. Feel free to disagree, or even tell me where I'm wrong. I'll be releasing updates to the book as I have time and inclination to repent of my mistakes and omissions.
The book is free, with epub and pdf versions available for your reading pleasure. If you like the book, you can send me bitcoin via nostr or at https://geyser.fund/project/buildingnostr, and if people like it enough I may publish a version that you can touch with your fingers.

Any words of advice for a Canadian feeling like staying in this country leads down a dark road, but feeling somewhat trapped because we've only just started our Bitcoin journey.
Not all talks get a standing ovation...

I actually haven't listened to any of his take on Bitcoin. But lots of his other stuff has always been a good listen.
I can't wait to dig into this on my upcoming time off. π§‘
From the cover:
"At the crossroads of spirituality and Bitcoin, this book exposes the system's illusions while revealing how both movements converge on core principles: truth and liberation."

I remember seeing them cancel tom cruise for this back in 2005.
Yet I remember knowing then as I do now that he was right.
It left me with a strange feeling watching someone be sacrificed for the sake of corporate profits and some broader agenda.
An early tell that lies live very large in the world while the truth lives very small.
When you see someone not just criticized but sacrificed thatβs usually a tell that they are over the target and what theyβre saying is correct.

These drugs cause so much damage. I wish I had listened. I still trusted the system back 18 years ago, and have dealt with the harms of these drugs.
The support for helping those of us who have woken up and want off these drugs is seriously lacking, and instead we get told more lies, and are gaslit by doctors when we talk about #ssriwithdrawal
I've started sharing my story here on #nostr
#hyperbolictapering can help those of us trapped on these drugs.

It's the globalists on the one hand, technocrats on the other. I've come to believe they are all evil and they all want to control our lives. But I agree that the EU seems to be even more royally effed up at the moment. Ultimately I'd love to see Alberta be its own little country. And as small a government as possible.
Nothing like elbows up eh Canada? π
