new shrink is awesome, trying beta blockers today for the first time and feel warm and calm and happy rn šŸ„¹

is this what normal feels like? I have never felt so stable and calm in my entire life

I only took 2 doses of 2.5mg of propranolol today and my startle response has gone from 9/10 to 2/10

wish I had been given beta blockers as a kid, would have saved a lifetime of suffering and misery.

interesting reaction: instead of my heart jumping into my throat and jackhammering when Iā€™m startled or suddenly stressed out, my skin will flush with hot, sharp tingles. Similar feeling as beta alanine, which wasnā€™t very effective at alleviating anxiety, that I noticed at least. Plus, beta alanine made my skin feel like it was on fire for hours on end. Wouldnā€™t recommend, personally.

Propranolol only makes my skin tingle when Iā€™m suddenly stressed or startled, and only for a few seconds. Very effective at mood stabilizing today. Judging by othersā€™ feedback on this particular med, which is very positive, Iā€™m feeling very optimistic about it helping me get past some debilitating roadblocks.

Everything feels very peaceful and manageableā€¦

good omen.

in case you need to hear this today: if you have children and youā€™re still using cocaine ā€œrecreationallyā€ please seek rehab and distance yourself from your coke-using ā€œfriendsā€ IMMEDIATELY

watching the way cocaine has destroyed my mother, and her life, finances, friendships, career, relationships with her children, is a devastating experience that I would not wish on the children of even my worst enemies

please check into rehab and exorcise the poison that is cocaine from your CHILDRENā€™s lives and your own life, immediately.

you can do it.

local Maxi only has ONE poor, frazzled employee managing TWENTY CASH REGISTERS AT ONCE, same employee is also expected to act as a security guard and verify each customerā€™s purchase before opening the gate to allow them to LEAVE, angering their customers and BURNING OUT employees

like, who can manage 20 cash registers at once AND act as a security guard AND an on-site accountant checking every customerā€™s bill before they open a gate, like customers are CATTLE in a kill factory. hate that gate so much. very obnoxious to those of us who DONā€™T steal from retail stores.

very badly managed. way too much work for one employee to manage alone when the self-checkout registers are even HALF available, never mind during a sales rush.

lol this is my morning rant

Maxi, do better. That poor employee looked stressed tf out and angry customers are not their fault, bad employer.

I really thought the man who groomed and raped me as a child was a GOOD PERSON who was just misunderstood, thatā€™s how deep the brainwashing is, because he started when I was only THREE YEARS OLD during my developmental years, how sad is that?

and now this man is a police officer and the cops are protecting not only him but Steve Dufour too, because Steve Dufour is a witness to Dino Granberg sexually abusing me, because Dino TOLD HIM TO DO IT TO ME!

Dino ran us kids and our foster home like his own personal grooming ground.

I donā€™t care if David Eley abused Dino and Steve anymore. Iā€™m tired of making excuses for men who have NEVER stopped harassing/stalking/sabotaging/abusing me.

Dino and Steve are both bisexual, Steve is more gay-leaning, they are also both former lovers and is one of the reasons Steve hates me so much: he wanted Dino all to himself.

They are also into sadomasochism and both have very old friends in the Montreal and Toronto film industry.

David Eley made videos of him and his friends abusing children, my biological brother was one of his ā€œsubjectsā€ who starred in a couple of commercials when he was a kid. There must be footage out there, I doubt he destroyed it. He DEFINITELY filmed himself abusing my brother.

David Eley was a popular film studies professor at Concordia University and made a lot of friends in the Montreal and Toronto film scene, especially the gay film scene. This man is LOVED despite raping children. David Eley is old friends with Norman Jewison, a director in Toronto, who is suss too.

sickening.
