Whenever I take shrooms I smoke/vape a lot of weed alongside them. But I have spent 42 (non-consecutive) days of the last 52 days sober from weed, and wanted to try shrooms that way.
Turns out they work SO much better and I feel way less anxious and more clearheaded after coming down. It felt nice not to want weed today. Had a lovely trip and feeling very at peace.
I bought this clock for $20 at an auction. After the auction the guy who gave me the clock was like, "are you a clock person?" and I said "yes" because I thought he meant "do you like clocks?" but I realized right after that he was asking if I understand mechanical clocks, to which the answer is no.
Anyway I have this clock, and I wound it but the pendulum will not swing. When I manually swing it it makes tick-tock noises and the hands move. But it will not swing on its own. Please advise!
Edit: it’s so obnoxious to downvote someone new to your hobby just because they don’t know what they’re doing. If clock people are like this I’ll stick to typewriters 😤 at least we’re nice to novices!
I've been taking a break from weed. I'm tallying sober days as reps instead of streaks to help me not give up if I get high one day. It's working well, I've done 37 days so far and only used weed four times in that stretch. My biggest issue was carts, and I've been off them for 44 days now.
Anyyyway I had a horrible week at work. My partner has been out of town and I'm alone in the house. I've got PMDD and am PMSing. Last night I decided fuck it and smoked part of a joint.
It was honestly fantastic and felt super cathartic. And man has my tolerance plummeted! But this morning, I'm hung the fuck over! It's noon and I haven't been able to do anything all day other than flop around in bed scrolling on Reddit. I really miss the clarity I've been having sober. I can't believe I used to be this groggy all the time.
It was a good reminder that I'm doing the right thing cutting way back.
I had such a horrible fucking day teaching. I run an art studio and one student was behaving so horribly this week that he basically ruined the class for everyone. He wouldn't shut up, wouldn't do the activities, wouldn't stop singing annoyingly, etc. It was a bit out of character, I know this kid well and he usually is a bit mischievous but able to be reasoned with. Then I find out on the last day, today, that he wasn't taking his ADHD meds all week.
Anyway there were new students there who probably will never come back, and I don't blame them. I am already hurting for business. I can't even complain to the kid's parents because he's one of our most frequent attenders. But like why send your kid to me unmedicated if you know it will make my life hell!!!!!!!!!!
Also I found out yesterday that I probably am developing glaucoma. And my partner is out of town and all my friends are busy and I don't even have that many friends to begin with and I'm so bored and lonely!!!!! The one thing that would help is weed, but I've been taking a break! I think I might take a break from my break! UghhH!
My grandma had glaucoma and my dad has it too. He was diagnosed in his late 30s, and though he treated it, his doctor was pretty lax about the whole thing. It progressed and he lost some peripheral vision. I'm 32 and I just had an eye exam where my pressure was 21 in both eyes. The eye doctor said my pressure is borderline, but that my optic nerves look good so she's not that worried. Two years ago my pressure was 17 or 18, so it has gone up.
How seriously should I be taking this? I am nervous my doctor is underplaying it given my family history.
On July 23 l initiated an instant transfer of $588 from my PayPal account to my business checking account. It said the transaction was complete, but the money never appeared in my bank account and the bank says they have no record of it. I've done instant transfers to this account from PayPal many times before, and have never had this issue.
I contacted customer service last week—they said to wait 5–7 days and check again. The money never came in. It is now August 3. The customer service person I contacted today said she has escalated my concern and I'll hear back in 3–5 days.
I am a small business and I'm late on my rent. I cannot afford to lose this money. Also, I have more money in PayPal now that I need to deposit in my bank account but I'm scared that money will vanish too. Wtf!
I’m on drugs I have time second time best I are snacks so many of them I will throw up
Next day update: when I posted this I thought it made complete sense. Xyrem is a powerful thing, and eating snacks on Xyrem is wonderful and dangerous 😆
I have had a rly painful canker sore all week. Tonight I put a ton of salt on it and it hurt like hell. Brushing my teeth I noticed there was a bunch of white stuff on my gum, like when you pop a pimple. I rinsed it out and this is what is left. Google says canker sores don’t pop. Should I be concerned about it being an abscess?
A month ago I decided to quit carts and take a break from weed while doing so. I'd been abusing carts for like four years, hitting them all day every day. As of today, I have successfully not used carts for 31 days! I have used THC three times in the past month, each over a week apart from each other: a few hits of a joint at a friend's house (which didn't do much), an edible for pain management when I threw out my back (I intentionally took a non-stoned-getting amount), and last night I took an edible with my wife for a concert and got stoned for the first time since taking the break. It was incredible! This is the relationship I want to have with weed. I want to use it socially and medicinally, for being more present instead of hiding from my life.
But today I feel low mood and am having cravings. I am doing my best to use my coping mechanisms, but I'm definitely more on edge than I have been lately. I am worried that this type of moderation will make me feel like I'm white-knuckling it. But I really really really want it to work, because I love getting stoned and I really don't want to stop forever. (Though I do want to stop carts forever). Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening <3
Looking to go to the concert at The Pines, don't want to pay full price. If you're selling your tickets LMK! :-)
The AQI had been 175ish in my area for a few days. Today it finally went down to 50 so I took the opportunity to go for a bike ride. I went 11 miles of my usual 22 and ended up getting so winded and exhausted I had to stop at a friend’s place and lie down. I had a migraine and was wheezing. My wife biked home to pick up me and my bike.
The whole thing was really weird. Could the bad air have caused this even though it was better today?
I know that’s counterintuitive as fuck.
I’m on day 25 without carts (day 21 consecutively), and day 18 without weed at all (but bc my goal is moderation, so I’m counting in reps—I did smoke a couple hits of a friend’s joint on day 7 and took an edible on day 22 because I threw out my back and no amount of Tylenol or ibuprofen would touch it. On neither occasion did I get high).
My goal is to decouple feeling stressed or bored with getting high, and learn new ways of coping. But being stuck inside doomscrolling without access to my preferred forms of exercise means that I am missing a lot of my usual coping mechanisms.
Anyway just struggling today and wanted to share.
I have TLE. I’ve noticed when I have focal seizures I often yawn repeatedly right before. It doesn’t feel like a tired yawn, it makes me feel really foggy. Then I get Déjà vu (aka I see a “vision” from a dream I had long ago, and then forget the vision after).
Anyone else have the yawning thing?
I’m on day 20 of my ~24-day cycle and fucking losing it. I’m two weeks into taking a break from weed and I’d been feeling okay. I got my rhythm back without it. But now I feel so sad and mad and scared that I cannot function. I feel like my life is hopeless. I’m so nauseous! I spent all morning in bed, it’s now 1pm. I am being so rude to my wife and I know it, but have no self-control.
I wanted to prove to myself I could get thru luteal solely with my other coping mechanisms. I was delusional. I hate this a lot!
My armpits have been increasingly pink and itchy and burning for a few days now. Any idea what this is?
I’m being horrible
I am in hell week and on top of that, I’m a week or so into taking a break from weed, which I use heavily. This is my first break in years. I’m acting like a fucking lunatic and being a jerk to my wife. I feel insane and furiously angry and also incredibly guilty for how I’m acting. I feel so out of control rn. Why am I like this? How do I stop???
I am taking a break from weed because I got massively hooked on carts. It's been two weeks since I've used a cart and 9 days since I had THC in my system. I had started doing well and not having cravings. But I'm now in PMDD hell week, and I REALLY miss medicating. I'm in a horrible mood and snapping at everyone. Weed helps SO MUCH during my luteal phase and I feel a bit unhinged without it.
A big reason I'm trying to cut back on weed is because I want to get pregnant in the next year or so. When I'm pregnant I won't have PMDD. With that in mind, I am wondering if it make sense for me to smoke weed during my luteal phase until I get pregnant, or if that will launch me back into problematic use again.
I have been enjoying their micro dose gummies a lot and very bummed to see that they are offline. Anyone have an alternative? I'd love a DM if so. Thanks <3
I am in the middle of a print job and ran out of masters. I need to get this done ASAP. Does anyone in the New England area have a ledger-sized master roll I could buy? Will drive to you.
the amc+ website is glitchy as hell, and the iPad app isn't working either. anyone else having this issue? customer service was of course beyond useless
