Didn’t burn at all.

I’m a white guy, been trying his method for mental health reasons. Spending the first full 1-2 hours in the sun at sun rise. Also eating lamb broth once a day.

Today I was outside almost the entire day (6+ hours) shirtless directly in the sun with a high UV index of 10 today. DID NOT BURN. I always burn. Didn’t use any sunscreen, haven’t since I started this.

I’m literally shocked. My skin looks so good today.

Also feel a lot better since my original post.

This is legit crazy 😂

Edit: Gemini is trying to tell me I permanently damaged my DNA and I should be burned lol

He was pretty good and I was able to get into a trance (I think) and my imagination was fantastic in my head, I was able to see things and felt like I had no control of the direction. Almost like a story in my head.

My main reason going in was for helping with lack of self worth.

At the end of the session he told me the price, which was $190. Which seemed very high. Is that normal?

Once I left the office I felt amazing. Like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt one with the world.

However now it’s been a couple days and I feel the same as I did before my session.

I really want to keep trying hypnotherapy because I felt really really good during and after it. But the price and not seeing an immediate permanent result are giving me second doubts.

What do you all think?

I (28m) have been dealing with major depression, ptsd, anxiety and extreme self loathing for 6 years now since my military service. I’ve also had very bad back acne to the point where it looks like leprosy.

I’ve tried almost everything under the sun. Medication, therapy, CBT, diet, exercise, supplements. You name it.

Nothing has truly helped me.

I stumbled upon Jack Kruse while watching an excellent health YouTube video. I’ve mainly dabbled in carnivore and primal diet recently, and Dr Kruse was being interviewed by a primal diet advocate.

I’ve since researched him a lot. Seems very promising.

How do I effectively start his protocol?

Right now I sleep in until 10am. Stay up till midnight and I’m inside all day on my phone. I can barely get off the couch because I want to d1e.

Can someone walk me through baby steps on how to get started?

I live in Virginia, I’m white European and South African descent. Lots of sunshine in my area yearly. Not sure if that helps in discussing what I need.

Quit Latuda cold turkey 10 days ago after being on 40mg for one month. I was becoming suicidal on the medication.

Anyway I’m in absolute hell. I feel nothing but negative emotions. A hopelessness I’ve never ever felt as badly before. I’m in so much emotional and mental pain that it physically hurts. I have no interest in anything and keeping myself alive is taking so much energy.

I will not talk to my doctor. I’m done with psychiatry. I’ve given them so many chances and this is the third time I’ve had a negative reaction to a medication. By far the worst though.

I don’t wish this on anyone. I’m trying my best to make it through.

I’m praying everyday literally begging God if he’s real to just help me get through this.

Never touching any medication again after this. Unmedicated me was depressed sure but this is another level!

I want to feel okay with myself and the world. It’s been 6 years since I have. I’m 28 and I feel like I’ve ruined my life. I’d give anything to feel normal again.

What goes on down there?

Whenever I look for new apartments I always diligently look through the fan and museum because I love living here, yet any decent apartment rarely have for rent signs up, and the ones that do whenever I call either already signed the lease to someone or they straight up refuse to give me a tour.

Most recent apartment was one that I really wanted, got in touch with the landlord and he wanted me to call the tenant to schedule a tour. She never got back to me. When I reached back out to the landlord he said he’d reach out to the tenant. Then he contacted me days later and said they’d be going with someone else.

I can’t help my gut from telling me that the tenants in the city just recommend or refer someone they know. I meet so many people my age (late twenties early thirties) in sick ass apartments in this area but yet I cannot find a decent one for the life of me.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to find something good? My budget is very flexible.

I (28m) have been actively practicing being single for the last 6 months. Not looking for dates or dating in general. Overall it’s been great. I’ve started to truly enjoy my life.

One obstacle I’ve encountered though is a lingering bitterness. Not directed at anyone, just generalized. The bitterness is summed up like this: No one wanted me in my prime. When I was my most attractive and youthful. When you’re supposed to experience young love.

From high school until my late twenties I spent so much wasted time chasing people in order to date. But it was never reciprocated the way I wanted.

Now that I’m choosing to be single and so many good things are coming from it, I can’t help but have this one last negative feeling of bitterness.

I would love to let it go. How do I do that?

I lived with TV man from 2018-2019. He was the original lead singer of Those Manic Seas. I won’t say his name but I’ve given enough info on him by mentioning that. Ask me anything

I (28m) am planning on traveling the world in the fall. I want to find a good place abroad I can study my masters using the rest of my GI bill. Was thinking why not ask around and see if there’s another veteran out there who has similar plans and wants a travel buddy.

Super excited for this journey. Little scared but hell, life’s worth living.

I just graduated from college with my undergraduates, no dependents and no debt, my lease is up in August 1st and I have to move out. Also it’s hard for me to find another apartment because I have a bankruptcy on file from a couple years ago. Can’t stay with family. In a pickle.

Came into some money from inheritance. I can survive on 4k a month for 10+ years with it.

Part of my wants to travel the world instead of staying in my hometown (where I’ve lived all my life) however I’ve struggled with depression for a long time and don’t want to be abroad and depressed.

I’m young, in good health, attractive, with no ties keeping me here except family.

I was thinking of doing workaway or Worldpackers where I’ll get a place to live for volunteer work while abroad.

Really on the fence. My lease is up in July. I don’t have a job currently. Part of me is getting fomo thinking about traveling like “why the hell not” but I don’t want to be abroad and lonely / depressed.

I really don’t know what to do.

All of it. The Latuda, the Wellbutrin, the finasteride. All meds. Anything I’ve been ingesting.

I feel like I’m losing my mind I just can’t. Sure I’m depressed and miserable without meds, but how I feel now is not like me. I really thought meds could save me.

I also feel like the VA is trying to kill me. All the meds my providers give me just make my symptoms worse. Also like what the hell am I even doing?? Why can’t I just live my fucking life. I just want to be my normal self god damnit. I’m through with it.

Ever since I hit puberty I’ve been obsessed with being in a relationship. Every day fantasizing about finding a girlfriend, getting married etc etc.

However, the past 6 months things have slowly started to change. It almost feels like the wind is out of the sails so to speak. I just am enjoying my life for the first time ever. Sure I still have attraction to people, but I don’t feel any need to pursue dating. I have my own little life and my goals. I’m starting to fill my cup on my own and I’m happy being alone. No drama, no heartache, no anxiety over if they like me or not. In fact I’m avoiding all that because the lemon is not worth the squeeze.

I’m surprised by this! I’ve always been a lovesick and chronically single man. But I think I’m falling in love with myself now!

Who woulda thought.
