Man. United - Wolfsburg halftime/fulltime 1/1 at 2.70 SS (1-1 / 2-1)
Since Manchester has a lot more Champions League experience under their belt compared to Wolfsburg, I really think they have the edge here. After that first match against PSV—where they actually held the lead but ended up dropping points—they’re going to be hungry to secure all three points tonight. Looking at their home form in the Premier League, they've managed to lead by halftime in two of their games already, which isn't a bad way to kick off the season. I'm expecting the Red Devils to come out swinging early to grab that opening goal and set the tone. A 2.70 payout feels like solid value to me, so I decided to toss it on my slip.
Celtic is hands down the best team in Scotland, and even without Šimunović out injured in defense, I think they’re cruising to an easy win here. Aberdeen is sitting five points behind them, so they really need this one to stay ahead. Honestly, Celtic showed exactly what they're capable of in that 2-2 draw against Ajax.
Looking at the history against Hearts, Celtic has swept the last 10 matches, racking up 35 goals while only letting in 2. Because of that, I wouldn't be surprised to see a three-goal victory, especially since Celtic tends to average nearly four goals per game when playing at home. Plus, Griffiths is back in the lineup after missing the cup game, and I have a feeling he might find the back of the net. That 2.70 odds looks pretty tempting, so why not give it a shot? 😁.
Villarreal/vs-Atletico Madrid YES SS 2.10 (1-0)
We've got two teams in great form facing off this round. I’d give a slight edge to Atletico Madrid because their defense looks a bit more solid right now, and having Jackson Martínez and Antoine Griezmann up front is just incredible. Villarreal started things off with a draw, but they've been on a roll with four straight wins since then. They kept a clean sheet away against Malaga, though they did let in a few goals at home against Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol. In their two home games, Villarreal has netted 6 goals (averaging 2 per match), bringing their season total to 11, with Roberto Soldado accounting for 2 of those.
On the flip side, Atletico has been scoring at an average of 2.5 goals per game over their last two away matches. Griezmann is looking sharp, and Fernando Torres has been making waves too.
1/5 ; 2.00 Lately, Atletico seems to be the stronger side. They just pulled off a 1-0 win in their last outing, and overall they have 11 wins compared to Villarreal's 9 (with 6 draws). Since both sides are scoring, I'm leaning toward an Atletico win at 2-1, with Jackson Martínez getting on the scoresheet.
I feel like my brain is just totally fried. 93 milesMy dosage has been scaled back quite a bit lately. I’ve just been sticking to one apple a day, taking an hour-long walk every single afternoon, and keeping up with my Omega-3 supplements. I stayed pretty disciplined with that routine for about a year, and honestly, it worked. Lately, though, it feels like that brain fog—or whatever you want to call that mental haze—is starting to creep back in. I honestly feel like we need to talk about how much everything is relative. It’s one of those things that sounds like a deep philosophical cliché until you actually start applying it to your daily life—like, seriously. Take my experience with medication, for example. What feels like a massive, life-altering shift for one person might be a total non-event for someone else. I was chatting with Laura Castillo6 the other day about this, and it really hit home. We were discussing how everyone's baseline is just so different. One person's "mild side effect" is another person's "I can't get out of bed," and there's no objective scale for that. It’s all based on your own unique chemistry and your own personal threshold. It’s kind of like when you’re driving through the Midwest. If you grew up in a tiny town in rural Nebraska, seeing a massive intersection in Chicago feels like an overwhelming sensory overload. But if you’ve lived in NYC your whole life? You barely even blink. Your perception of "normal" is entirely shaped by what you've been through and what you're used to. We try so hard to find these universal truths or standard metrics for how we should feel, but most of the time, the truth is just... well, relative. It depends on who you are, where you've been, and what your body is doing that day. There isn't one single way to experience things..
After riding a six-game unbeaten streak through all competitions, Tottenham finally hit a snag last time out. Now they’re back on home turf for a massive showdown against an objectively stronger squad—Manchester City. It’s looking tough for Spurs, though; they’ll likely be missing two huge pieces in midfield, Moussa Dembele and Nabil Bentaleb, who are both probably sidelined for this one. On the flip side, City might be feeling the pinch without Vincent Kompany and Bernardo Silva in the lineup.
Looking at the history here, Manchester City has absolutely dominated this matchup, winning the last eight league games against Tottenham and putting up a whopping 27 goals in that span. That’s over three goals per game! And man, Sergio Aguero has been on fire, netting 10 times in just seven meetings. For those of you feeling a bit more adventurous if the odds look right, I’d personally consider a parlay where Aguero scores and City wins by more than one goal. My gut feeling? A 3-1 victory for City with Aguero finding the net twice.
Chris Robinson25 said:I'm hearing some people say this med numbs you out just like Seroquel, while others say they feel exactly like I do—like they can't even "feel" the drug working at all. Honestly, now I'm just more confused than when I started.
Yeah, it really comes down to the underlying mechanics of how it works. You aren't hitting that side effect where you just crash out and sleep all day, and that's basically the gist of it. 😁
Lens had a pretty rough start through those first seven rounds, but they finally broke the curse last week with that away win. Honestly, I think the matchup against Sochaux is the perfect moment for them to grab their first home win of the season—they’ve been stuck with three draws and a loss at home so far. On the flip side, Sochaux is sitting right at the bottom of the table, and I'm expecting their slump to continue, mostly because their offense is just non-existent right now.
Memphis-Nashville 1 1,65 SS (1-2)
Unlike Lens, Memphis hasn't really tasted defeat yet. They're playing at home against a squad that hasn't managed to pick up a single point on the road all season. Nashville is clinging to that bottom spot, and I feel like Memphis should have no trouble walking away with another three points here.

You know, they teach Special Forces operators how to approach a sentry from the rear—they don't look at the crown of the head, they aim for the back so the guy doesn't even sense someone is closing in on him.
I don't know, though. Personally, I think a guard is going to sense a tactical operator nearby regardless of where they're looking.
Larry Lewis said:You really shouldn't go messing around with these kinds of energies—it’s dangerous stuff 😵
Look, I don't care what my grandmother used to tell me about this sort of thing 🙂
Sounds like you're just scared🙂.
Total coward🙂.
What's the worry? Afraid she's gonna hit you with some kind of double diagnosis?
As for that energy talk—look, people might roll their eyes, but I actually had this woman send "healing vibes" my way over the phone once. Fast forward twenty-four hours and I ended up in a psych ward with a formal diagnosis. Pretty wild how things work out, right?😁.
Larry Lewis said:Hey there! It's great news that you've got everything under control.🙂 But I'm a little lost on the whole psychic and tarot card thing?
So he reached out to a tarot reader back when he fell ill and linked that to the trigger 🤔?
Spending way too much time glued to a computer screen or scrolling through the internet can really take a toll on your body. It’s one of those things where everyone reacts differently—some people might feel the burnout almost immediately, while others don't notice the physical strain until much later down the road. Honestly, just spending most of your life staring at a monitor isn't great for your health in the long run.
Larry Lewis said:Sure—but personally, 300mg of Seroquel hits me so hard that I can actually feel it rattling around in my brain—which isn't exactly a pleasant sensation—but once that initial "peak" passes, it’s fine. Usually, I just take 200mg for sleep Kada I'm having no trouble drifting off.
I was also on Risperdal recently, and when I take, say, 1 mg, it barely sedates me at all—that's about it.
Those are just my experiences with those two specific drugs.
It isn't strange at all when a "patient" is prescribed two antipsychotics at once.
Robin Lopez2, regarding what you wrote about your social doctor—it sounds like he was just messing with his doctor, nothing more, but hey, he guessed your regimen correctly.
My own cocktail: Klonopin: 1,1,2 of 0.5 mg Effexor: 1,0,0, of 75mg and 37.5 mg as needed Seroquel: 0,0,1 of 200mg Seroquel XR: 0,0,1 of 300 mg
Again, this is MY regimen—it's not necessarily ideal—but I'm doing okay with it.
Seroquel is ranked 6th on the list of most harmful medications in existence.
Here is some advice we all probably know, but I'll say it anyway: stay active, push yourself physically until you sweat and strengthen your system, because these drugs drastically reduce a person's lifespan and they do it fast. Surround yourselves with people you truly trust, or at least people who offer some semblance of understanding.
And aim for less lucid dreaming—basically, try to stay more "awake" internally.
Personally, I enjoy a little indulgence with marijuana now and then, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Eat as healthy as your bank account allows, and stick to plain water when you're thirsty.
There—just my two cents. 🙂
For me, 1mg of Risperdal acts exactly like Seroquel does for you. It doesn't just knock me out; it causes these really unpleasant feelings while you're still awake. Just... blah. When I brought up that 1mg dose to my doctor, he actually told me it was impossible to feel anything on such a negligible amount (I'm talking 1mg here).
Then again, if you look at the actual Risperdal prescribing info, it mentions that an effective dosage can be as low as 0.25 mg 😁, so there goes the doctor—who apparently has no clue how his own prescribed meds actually affect people.
As for being prescribed multiple antipsychotics, that’s pretty standard under the American system. It feels like our doctors have been stuck in the same mindset since the 1950s, where the goal is basically to move a patient through the system as fast as possible. So, if one drug doesn't "effectively" work, logically, they just throw a cocktail of others at you. 🤣
That’s just my take on why they prescribe so many psych meds. I don't think the general public realizes that this approach doesn't just hurt the individual taking them; it affects all of us, since we're dealing with these heavy synthetic drugs.

Nah. Honestly, I’d take living in a psychosis over being stuck in a deep recession in Russia any day of the week.🕺
Nicole Barrett76 said:But those Omegas can actually suppress the immune system. Just Google "Saami immunity immune."
Furthermore, one requires a massive amount of EPA/DHA to see any actual effect—ranging from 5 grams of those acids up to 25 grams if you are dealing with severe schizophrenia or depression.
I apologize if I am bringing unwelcome or discouraging news to a thread where you should be feeling encouraged.
And besides, it is as expensive as Saint Peter Kajgana! Can anyone even afford to set aside at least $333/month just for Omega?
I have tried everything under the sun. When I look at the ratio of what I invested versus what I gained, I found that antioxidants and vitamin-mineral supplements—specifically high doses of B vitamins (2 x 100 mg of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, along with 2 x 100mcg of B7, B9, B12)—were what helped me most.
As for Omega-3, my answer is simply NO. For a long time, I was never in a financial position to consistently provide myself with at least 2.5 grams of EPA/DHA.
I believe Omega-3 might help you all a bit more than it helped me. I wasn't taking it for depression or schizophrenia because, thank God, I don't suffer from those. I took it to stop my vision from declining. But again, I must say... do not expect miracles unless you are capable of consuming large quantities every single day over a long period of time.
That’s not really how it works. It’s more that certain indigenous groups have lower immunity because they rely on Omega without getting the other foods that actually boost the immune system. But nature kind of balanced things out—they live in places where bacteria just can't thrive, so the result speaks for itself: they survive. Having spent about a year living up in the high Arctic regions of Russia, where it averages around -20 degrees, I know firsthand what life looks like when you aren't constantly fighting off colds or minor bugs.
+ you need massive amounts of EPA/DHA to see any real impact. We're talking anywhere from 5 grams to 25 grams of those fatty acids if you're dealing with severe schizophrenia or depression.
Sorry if I'm dropping some unwelcome reality on a thread that's supposed to be encouraging.
And man, it's expensive as hell, like buying gold from Saint Peter Kajgana. Can anyone even afford to set aside $333/month just for Omega?
I've tried pretty much everything under the sun. Looking at the ROI (what I put in versus what I get back), the biggest help for me was definitely antioxidants, vitamin-mineral complexes, and higher doses of B vitamins. (Specifically 2 x 100 mg of B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 — and 2 x 100mcg of B7, B9, B12).
As for Omega-3, my honest answer is "forget it." For a long time, I just couldn't swing the budget to consistently get at least 2.5 grams of EPA/DHA.
I suspect Omega-3 might help you guys a bit more than it helped me. I wasn't taking it to fight off depression or schizophrenia since, thank God, I don't deal with those. I was using it to try and stop my vision from declining. But again... don't go expecting miracles unless you can afford to take large doses every single day over the long haul.
I remember reading a study from 2014 involving people at risk for psychotic episodes. The research suggested that those using Omega-3 had a higher chance of avoiding an episode entirely, which leads to the conclusion that Omega-3 can assist in managing psychosis or schizophrenia. So, it helps, but that doesn't mean it's going to cure it. Honestly, it's probably better to spend $50 a month on neuro-focused Omega-3 rather than blowing it on nights out, coffee, booze, or cigarettes. In fact, lately, we've seen schizophrenia linked quite closely to smoking and alcohol. People seem surprised when they or those around them develop schizophrenia or similar symptoms, yet almost everyone is using alcohol or nicotine, both of which are proven to mess with brain function.
Larry Lewis said:The last few days have been okay, but for about a month straight, even 300mg of standard Seroquel wasn't enough to knock me out—and honestly, 300mg, damn it, 🙂
A 300mg dose of Seroquel is basically the same as taking 1mg of Risperdal.
Look, it’s true that antipsychotics hit everyone differently, but if you ask me, you two might have been slapped with a schizophrenia diagnosis based on some pretty shaky evidence. Honestly, though, even if the diagnosis is accurate, it doesn't seem to be having much of an impact on you guys, which is actually a good thing. You're going to recover; it just takes a lot of patience. I’ve always felt the brain does its best healing while we're asleep. Once you get back into a steady rhythm—you know, hitting that 10 PM to 6 AM sleep schedule, eating three solid meals a day, and getting some light walks around the neighborhood—your body will naturally start to bounce back. Antipsychotics can definitely drain your energy, but maybe try taking them only in the evening? On a side note, I personally tried Ginkgo Biloba extract and found it really helped my focus. You can find similar supplements at any local pharmacy, so why not give them a shot? Since you're already managing psych meds, I don't see what the harm could be in trying a little something extra.
Most folks dealing with psychosis actually see some real improvement with the right help. Honestly, I think one of the biggest keys to making things work is just building a solid, trusting connection with your doctor or your care team. It makes such a difference when you feel heard. Right now, we have strong research support for several psychological approaches used to manage psychosis in people living with diagnoses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder: Assertive Community Treatment CBT Cognitive Remediation Family Psychoeducation Social Skills Training Vocational Rehabilitation Programs
