Agreeed. Thank goodness we have a dog - he needs play outside and it gets us out and at least somewhat active a few times a day.

Way way way too stressed - nearly 100% due to how hard it is becoming to scrape by financially.

I should mention that if you ~feel~ ANY effects, cognitive or otherwise, after dosing, you’re beyond the microdosing threshold. If you dose above the threshold you’re definitely liable to experience cognitive impairment. I dosed above it once and had unnervingly heightened senses and some odd but not intrusive…

I have an incredibly difficult time sticking to routines so I definitely don’t microdose continuously, though I would if I could. I come back to it if I notice I’m falling into a rough patch re; anxiety or depression though. There’s no effect on my work at all and zero interference in cognitive ability. I don’t notice…

I can definitely attest to this working for anxiety. When I’ve been microdosing, I can register that I’m becoming anxious - like anxiety is politely knocking at the door instead of barreling into the room like the goddamned Kool-Aid Man - and DECIDE not to give in. I didn’t notice this until I’d been microdosing for a…

Thank you SO MUCH for your detailed and thoughtful reply. I am 100% going to follow your recommendation. I tend to try and do everything all at once and then burn out in the process of trying to implement and maintain it. I also overload myself and effectively make it impossible to maintain any semblance of order in…

I can see disliking kids but complete avoidance is... Suspicious.

I was thinking about that for sure - we’ll hopefully live close enough together that it’s a possibility!

These are great suggestions - thanks!! I really appreciate the second point as someone who haaates feeling like I’m imposing. Minimizing those feelings in my mama friends will definitely be a priority!

I’m not going to have kids of my own but my partner and I are committed to being super supportive of the families and children in our lives. The whole “it takes a village” thing is our schtick. Is there anything someone on the outside could do to help make mornings less hectic?

I’m autistic and live with ADHD and I’m not sure if it’s symptomatic of either but I CANNOT. STICK. TO. A. ROUTINE. TO. SAVE. MY. DAMN. LIFE. I would very much like it if someone could help me develop a routine and set the tools to sustain it but whenever I try to do so on my own I get overwhelmed and give up. I do…

You’re kidding, yes?

I’m a small beans investor (I’m like 28 and poor) but Wealthsimple has an ethical portfolio with low fees that meets those criteria - check ‘em out?

Thank you for this! I am horrified by the global response to climate change and have gone so far as choosing not to have children, becoming a one-car household, and significantly reducing our meat consumption but I know it’s nowhere near enough. I decided this morning that I want to put my money where my mouth is and…

AND SHE’S CANADIAN!!! We’re proud today at my university (which is not Waterloo) :)

Here for you, Babylegs. I feel those feels.

I can kinda see the compulsion to avoid perceived embarrassment but I’m a proud Tinderella and our friends and families either find that hilarious or don’t give a rat’s ass.

Holy. Shit. Thank you for sharing!! I hope that you value yourself enough to avoid that red flag armada forevermore. You gave so much! Agh! How you doin’ these days?

My fiance and I met over Tinder - I’m a Tinderella - and I 100% tried to ghost him after we slept together on the night we met after messaging back-and-forth for a few weeks. He caught me trying to leave in the very early morning and convinced me to stay with arguments that began with “it’s still dark out” and ended…

I’m a union worker and I’ve developed innovative new processes for my institution. I’m proud to work here and I work hard for my institution because I feel cared for and valued, largely thanks to my union.
