I know this might be a bit out of place, so bear with me.

Carl Rivera43 said:Hey restlesstiger49, why don't you go ahead and send it? My internet connection is being a total snail today.
Sounds good. 👍
restlesstiger49 said:Works for me. Any meeting ideas that pop up in other threads will eventually find their way back here.
Basically, we have a new member joining this subforum, so let's get together to say hello. I’m proposing we meet this Sunday (Jan 11th), maybe around 4:00 or 5:00 PM. How about somewhere like Grand Central Station or maybe a spot near Union Square?
I also want to take this chance to invite anyone else who wants to join us and meet someone new—please feel free to speak up and let us know you're coming.

Carl Rivera43 said:Alright, sounds like a plan! Let's meet up by the monument at Main Square around 4:30.
Perfect! It looks like we're all on the same page.
Carl Rivera43, let's wait until this evening to ping the moderators about pinning this thread to the top. Do you want to send them a DM, or should I handle it?

Carl Rivera43 said:Let's try for Saturday instead. That way both the girl from New York City and Altec can actually make it
You’ve got a point there. Let's lock in Saturday then. Once we settle on the final time and the spot, could we pin this as a top thread?

It’s all the same to me; we'll just see what the democratic vote brings our way.

Since you guys are bringing up Calixta, does she actually "elevate" things?

To make things easier to find, let's meet up by the subway entrance. If you spot a long-haired person wearing glasses, you've definitely found the right spot.

Oh, really? That sounds great. Let's definitely make a point to stop by then. It’s not like it's a trek across the country; it's practically right around the corner.
I honestly think 2:00 PM would be a solid compromise. I don't have a strong preference either way, but I know there are a few people in the group who would find that timing much more convenient. Does that sound fair to everyone? What do you think, lonefalcon41? Are we all on the same page?

As far as I'm concerned, 1:00 PM works perfectly fine for me.

There’s some truth to that, too. And Carl Rivera43, you really ought to be a gentleman here and let the ladies make the call. lonefalcon41, what time works best for our meeting?

Carl Rivera43 said:So, who's actually planning on showing up for our hangout tomorrow at the Smithsonian Institution?
Let's use > to nail down an exact time. I’m thinking maybe 2:30 or 3:00? We can meet right outside the Smithsonian Institution, and then, if everyone's feeling up for it, grab some coffee afterward. What do you guys think?
Since the tours run every half hour, I’d suggest we start gathering around 3:00 PM so we can head into the tour by 3:30 PM.
Self-love and mental health: Where do you start?

It’s vital to get to the bottom of where this self-loathing and these feelings of worthlessness are coming from—whether you tackle it alone or decide to sit down with a therapist. Do you have any idea what might be triggering this? Perhaps there's a lingering sense of guilt or a heavy conscience driving what you're experiencing right now. You don't have to lay it all out here if you aren't ready; just try to find those answers within yourself.

Drugs and needles... 🎉
Seriously though, does anyone have a hypnotist or a sleep aid they can recommend? I'm looking for something other than Sanval. That worked for a while, but now it just doesn't put me under anymore.

We're talking about pregnancy here, right?
I actually rolled one up and smoked it... honestly, I think I felt a bit depressed the very next day.🤷 🤣

Roger Carter9 said:Thanks, restlesstiger49, and thanks for nothing... I know I can be incredibly difficult and negative sometimes. Honestly, maybe it’s better if I just stop posting here altogether so I don't end up dragging everyone else down with me. But really, thank you for the support.
Don't worry about dragging anyone down...
As far as venting goes, you should probably move over to the chat thread 😁

Roger Carter9 said:I know I won't be attending... because I'm simply not feeling up to it. Honestly, I believe those who actually do show up aren't "bad" at all, given they have the energy to go out and socialize. Enjoy yourselves.
As the old saying goes, you're speaking nothing but the truth. Unfortunately, some people are great, while others are... let's say, less than stellar, though they certainly try.
As for age, there's another guy on this forum around your age; most of us are in our mid-twenties or hitting that 30 mark. But at the end of the day, we're all in the same boat.

shadowbear9 said:It is the same for me. They offered me Mirtazapine or Seroquel several times, but I told them absolutely not because those drugs make me gain an abnormal amount of weight. They keep trying new things on me, but honestly, why should I? Even they don't seem to know which one will work best for me. At that point, who wants to gamble with their health? Eventually, I suppose I'll run out of options...
Well, Xanax equals Miller equals Ativan equals Alprazolam. It is all essentially the same medication; it just so happens that I find Ativan tastes bitter and I hate swallowing it, so I prefer taking Miller instead, even though both are listed on my medical record...
So, does anyone want to tell me which antidepressant is a bit stronger so I can try it? I have been through Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, now Effexor, Mirtazapine, and none of them have actually cured me...
Effexor?
It actually worked for me. (Though it might have been a bit much—I feel like I have a harder time falling asleep since I started taking it, but hey, everyone reacts differently.)
