Especially because I'm currently experimenting with Lamotrigine, I am guilty of poor cognition, many hours of the day. Please do not spot those moments, and subsequent small efforts, and make assumptions about me at my best. It breaks my heart enough that these things end up on my Google search results.>/r9k/

And it's surreal to run into you. I must remember that there's enough overlap between these sites that this isn't representative of true internet fame.Ver archivo adjunto 2137549

@henstepl I am very fascinated by how rigorous you are in trying to deduce what is going on from a physiological perspective. I see a lot of this in myself, having spent years on a quest to "hack" my own neurotransmitters and deal with major depression.
I'm genuinely curious as to whether you have experimented with a consistent, vigorous exercise program and what, if any, thoughts that you have about it. There are many studies out there that have documented statistically significant neurological changes with exercise. There is often a distinction drawn between cardio and strength training, with very different effects. Beyond the peer reviewed studies, we all know intuitively that mankind evolved to hunt, run and survive in difficult circumstances.
I know that exercise triggers neuroplasticity ( especially cardio ). Weight training can contribute serotonin. Physical activity has tremendous effects on hormones, etc.
Personally, i believe that many of our modern psychiatric illnesses are symptoms of an underlying mis-match between our biological realities and our contemporary lifestyles. Whether this be from diet, lack of exercise, industrial chemicals or social media......something is genuinely going wrong for us as a species.
Anyways, just wanted to ask. I force myself to exercise. I feel like it keeps the demons at bay. Good luck to you on your quest.
@henstepl Are you taking lamotrogine for a mood stabilizer or as an anticonvulsant? I know it's commonly prescribed for bipolar disorder off label. Slight power level, but I take it for that type of issue and I think what you're talking about with Lamictal is how sedating it can be despite it typically being more likely to cause mania in BP disorder?
It's stupid hard to put me to sleep and that stuff really speeds it up and makes me pretty brain dead when it first kicks in. It also numbs my mouth for a few hours and makes food and drinks a bit off during that. May be similar for you?
Eirher way please be careful with the withdrawal from Lamotrogine. It can be really brutal. Its very underrepresented. Makes me sick similar to hangovers, but worse. Especially after it's built up in your bloodstream.
Speaking of which didn't you mention a similar effect from Lamictal withdrawal compared to hangovers?
I feel the part about inconsistency. Now that it's been getting warmer, I've been trying to get out and exercise more often. I'm shooting for consistency, but, you know, it's tough when you have to go out of your way to to do something that's not sedentary. That's one thing to be jealous of farmers for, I guess.When I do exercise, and I'm never consistent about it, I do feel the rush of serotonin (and I can actually prove it with soda tests). But any effect on any scale of "depression" is overshadowed by personality changes. Adrenaline/acetylcholine are complicating variables arching over my serotonin ratio, and (A/b) will put me into psychopathy, and (B/b) is an abductive, hysterical fuck prone to obnoxious yawning fatigue.
"Depression" is only fallaciously described as "serotonin high good low bad" and "depression" is not my struggle anyway. Never let me talk you out of the benefits to you, or even to me, but exercise is a lot for me to sign on to.
It's shitty to have to balance honesty against fear of institutionalization. Though I know it's not really warranted in my case, I sometimes find myself in that dilemma, too. "If I tell them how depressed I feel, are they going to deem me a danger to myself and put me on a 302?" From afar, I know that's not realistic, but I can't help feeling that way in the moment.There are only so many times I can calmly deny a mood disorder. To consent to a mood disorder is to run the risk that one day when I shout and scream that I can't count to four, I'll get locked up - and stopped from shouting and screaming - and without restoring my ability to count to four.
There's a difference, though, between sadness and emptiness. Sadness is arguably not that bad; lots of people seek out opportunities to feel sad and cry at their TVs. Emptiness -- where you can't even feel that sadness, and if you could it would be preferable -- has got to be worse. Emptiness actually fits better with the clinical definition of depression than "conventional" sadness.The zero-cognition voids I pass through are not sadness and they are not sleep. They're just times you're lying in bed, catatonic and rapeable, hoping mother won't come and interrogate you, and christ you wish the voids were sleep.
Hello friend, I have been doing some mulling over the question of Bell's palsy (which you know is the paralysis of the left or the right half of the face).What do you make of the COVID vaccine causing bells palsy in some people?
Hey, I'm only schizo if I don't take my sweet, sugary serine.Do I win something for finding you in the wild on /gif/? Very apt of you to post in the /gif/ schizo thread!

Hey, it's been a while, but I'm in better cognitive straits now. I've been NMDA positive for about a week without needing serine (and antidepressants prove not to drag me back down.) Let me see if I can do better for you regarding this.@henstepl how do you explain people with congenital blindness (born blind) being immune to schizophrenia? (Also immune to other forms of psychosis)
The fact there has never been a case of schizophrenia in a person born without sight in recorded history has mystified doctors for decades and they think it might hold the key to explaining the causes or mechanisms of schizophrenia and some other mental illnesses with psychotic episodes.
Every time I try to practice my catatonia face I freeze up.Everyone practice your catatonia face!
What do you mean when you say serotonin and dopamine are "media?" Not sure if you're describing normal NT function strangely or if you have a different theory of NT function altogether.nd our brain is not relativistic, so, our cognition processes occur in a medium. And when I trace my medium up and down my face, and test for it with soda, it becomes clear that my difficulty is the presence of two media - serotonin and dopamine - and the schizophrenic crisis of NMDA hypofunction is to have an ambiguity between the two. A fluttering margin right across the center of the mind.
wow you can really see the schizophrenia in this picture; i wasn't entirely convinced before but the eyes and smile here just scream deranged, you may be onto something after all. i couldn't pull a face that creepy-looking if i tried.
It's not Pac-Man and the movies. "Media" is the plural of "medium", and like a roll of film, a medium is what's necessary for the motion of something else, like the ocean to the waves, or the disproven luminiferous to light itself.What do you mean when you say serotonin and dopamine are "media?"

What the fuck is happening in this thread.
It almost seems like there are alts taking to OP feeding himself.
Have I stared too long into the Abyss?
