Hi! I’d love to know more about ketamine therapy, if you feel okay to share what it is/what uses it has for you/etc. Reading your post was the first time I’ve heard about it.

Sure! I don't mind talking about it.

Ketamine therapy is used to treat mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.

Personally, I use it mostly for depression symptoms but I also use it for anxiety although some research shows that it may not be as effective for anxiety as it is for depression, PTSD, and OCD.

Basically, ketamine therapy involves the administration of ketamine in either a tablet form or via IV. Anecdotally, I've been told that the tablet form is not as effective as IV, but using tablets is WAY cheaper. It can be pretty expensive because most insurance doesn't cover it so it's mostly out of pocket.

The actual therapy part via tablet or IV is pretty similar, but tablet form can be done at home, whereas IV is done at a clinic. When it's done at home, it's mailed to you. I have to sign off for the packages and be home for the delivery, otherwise it gets sent to another place for pick up where I have to sign off for it.

I've done both and prefer the IV method but it's pricey. I go to a local clinic near me, but I know some people will travel hours to go to a clinic. Some people don't have the option to travel to a clinic or it's just not practical because of cost so some people do the at home tablet method.

The IV method and tablet method both involve a consultation either in person or online. to see if symptoms are serious enough to qualify for ketamine therapy. I did my tablet consultation online through Mindbloom, but there are other companies. The IV method for me was done via a phone call to the local clinic and then they were put in contact with my psychiatrist. Some clinics have a psychiatrist on staff, but the one I've used doesn't so thats why they needed to be put in contact with my psychiatrist. The local clinic is run by anesthesiologists. Ketamine is an anesthetic technically.

So after consultation, you set up appointments for IV. On mindbloom I did the same and met with a nurse practitioner and a ketamine guide for my experience to walk me through the process.

Both IV and tablet methods had 6 initial sessions that were done in a matter of a few weeks. The IV consultation had me do 6 sessions over a course of 2 weeks. The tablet method was over a longer period of time. For the tablet method I did 2 initial sessions and then after that I did it once a week for 4 weeks. For some people like myself they recommend following up for maintenance / treatment of symptoms. This looks different depending on severity of symptoms. Some people do maintenance at an IV clinic twice a year, every 3 months, or once a month. They recommended once a month for me. I know with mindbloom they have an 18 pack available after you've done your initial session. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I know they bill you monthly for that method so you don't have to pay upfront for all costs. Mindbloom doesn't take insurance.

An at home session with a tablet looks like this for me. You have to have a person on hand to check in on you to make sure you are safe and not having any issues like an adverse reaction to the ketamine. For me, that's my fiance. You measure your blood pressure with a cuff provided by Mindbloom to make sure you are in a healthy range to start therapy. You put the tablets in your mouth for 7 minutes, and during this time you have to allow the saliva in your mouth to gather. You aren't supposed to swallow during this time. You open the app and there's a guided message for the first few minutes. Then it plays music during the journey. They recommend putting on headphones and lying down while wearing an eye mask. After 7 minutes are up, I spit out the ketamine and saliva into a zip lock bag as advised by Mindbloom. This is to keep the ketamine away from contaminating local water supplies. You're not supposed to spit it into a sink or directly into the trash for that reason. After I spit it up, I lie down and focus on a mantra. One for instance that I used was "I release my depression." This is done for an hour. During that time my fiance comes in and checks in on me every 15 minutes. After the session you're supposed to avoid negative stimuli to let the ketamine work on your brain. I usually eat afterwards because you're supposed to avoid eating for several hours before so you aren't nauseous from the ketamine. I've never experienced nausea but I don't want to risk it. Mindbloom sends anti-nausea meds along with the ketamine. They recommend journaling afterward but I don't because I never found it to be helpful when I tried. Before session I journal to clear my mind. I normally do yoga or meditate beforehand to get myself into a good headspace for my session.

For an IV session, I go to the clinic at my appointment time and am walked back into a private room with an armchair that has heating and massage functions. They administer the IV to a vein in my hand or wrist and hook it up to a machine that administers the ketamine. They also hook me up to a blood pressure cuff. They monitor my vitals on the machine during session via a computer and leave me alone during session. During this time things get trippy. You can move but I find that I have no desire to move. They recommend wearing headphones and bringing a blanket. After session I usually go home and eat or go out to eat with my fiance. I don't have issues with nausea but some people do. I've heard this is more common when you're older or elderly. The anesthesiologists will come in and check in on me during this time but basically I just vibe the whole time. I try to focus on something I need to work through during this time and I mostly just let my mind wander however it will and I listen to music. There are several lists on Spotify that have been made specifically for ketamine therapy by other users. I know one client at the ketamine clinic I go to listens to the grateful dead the whole time so it's really all up to preference.

I've probably given you more info than needed but I've never really talked about it indepth on tumblr so I figured why not. Lol. But that's an indepth look into what it's like, what i use it for and what it is. Hope this post was helpful!

"Warner Crew At The Carnival"

Dr Scratchensniff thought he knew what to expect when he along with Ralph took the Warners out to the local carnival. Helping the Warners win Pinky and the Brain at a shady ring toss game was not one of those expectations.

The two lab mice had previously undertaken another one of their world domination schemes when one of the local carnies had mistaken them as take home pet prizes.

What followed would be an intense competion between the Warner Crew and another visitor from the reboot, body builder and new special freind, Nils Niedhardt.  Two Hundred rings and several stuffed animal plushies later, the lab mice rode away safely in the shirt pocket of Ralph the secuirty guard.

Ralph giggled as the mice wiggled inside. "Theys tickle me!"

"Gee, Brain. Who knew we'd finally get a free ride for once? Narf!" said Pinky.

"This isn't the kind of free ride I had in mind." Brain complained. "In fact I finds it's hygiene questionable. Why does he smell like coconut...?"

Ralph was also carrying two of the Warner Brothers in his arms.

"Look at it this way, he's a ride you don't have to wait on for once!" Yakko responded.

"Thanks for helping out with that last game, Scratchy! We were started to get tired" Wakko said as he reached for the cotton candy in Dr. Scratchensniff's arms.

The psychiatrist looked up in shock. "You kids are actually tired? For once?!"

The two adults were suprised at how well behaved the Warners were today compared to how they usually acted in the past. Normally it ended with the both of them chasing the trio all around the carnival, several vistors being at the mercy of their 'special freind' antics and moderate property damage, but today was relatively normal for them. 

Aside from the ring toss, there were only a few other incidents.  Dot and Yakko tightrope walking across the beams of the moving ferris wheel.  A pie eating competition that ended with Wakko in the first place and Ralph with a face full of coconut cream. And Scratchensniff nearly losing his lunch when the trio took control of a rickety spinning tea cup ride. 

Dot, who was resting on his shoulder peered near his ear to respond.  "We've been tired, our youthful demeanor just hides it well."

"Besides, now that our show is done, we finally have a moment to relax for once!" said Wakko. "Being zany to the max was starting to feel like work again"

Scratchensniff nodded in agreement.  "Well,  you three have been natural at this for years." 

The trio had been ramping up their antics for the reboot's abrupt final season. But the extra pressure of pleasing their eager fans made them work harder than ever before.

"Yep. But we're cartoon veterans now. We need some time off " Yakko responded.

"Dahhh, Veterans? I didn't know theys brought back the draft!" Said Ralph.

 "So what do you all  have planned now the shows over?" Scratchensniff asked them.

"Catch up with all the HBO Max shows that haven't been taken off, yet." Said Yakko.

"Update my Master class on nunchuck lessons." said Dot.

"Maybe visit Slappy Squirrel, or our old CEO" Wakko added. 

His older brother shook his head. "I don't about that, T.P is probably still comatose when he found out Ralph became CEO at the end of season 2"

The guard huffed indignantly. "Noes he wasn't! He was just personified with joy!"

Scratchensniff was about to correct the guards words usage when Yakko asked him. " What about you?"

Scratchensniff blinked at hearing that, he wasn't expecting to be asked about it. "Well, doing my job of course. That and looking out for you three, Which also my job"

"Wow,  we thought you would retire the moment the show ended!" Wakko exclaimed. 

The psychiatrist smiled. "This world is cuckoo enough as is, but if I am going to deal with it, I'd rather it be with you"

The trio smiled at his geneniunely sweet response.

Yakko looked over his shoulder. "How are you holding up back there Nils?"

The muscular overgrown adversary in question was carrying the group's victory spoils from the ring toss game.

"Hating this..." Nils grumbled. The stuffed animal plushies towered above his head.

After being such a great sport during their competition. The Warners let him pick out one to keep for himself. He ended up picking one that visually matched how he felt, a pink jackass.

I seriously had to force myself to keep this story from going on too long.

I had been meaning to do another digital painting for a long time.

But I wanted to go for a look that was more refined than my other ones. Something a little less sketchy and rough.

And with the shows final season out now, I finally felt  motivated to do it with an idea I had been sitting on for a long time.  The final season of Animaniacs actually ended up being really enjoyable and ended with a bang! ( Granted not the one the fans nor I were expecting)

So I decided to do a group shot with Warners and freinds again, but this time in a fluffy casual setting. 

[trans-axolotl]

hey i love your posts on anti-psych organizing, the work you're doing is really inspiring <333 i was jw if you have any advice for people who want to contribute to the movement but have certain accessibility challenges? for example in my case i have very high social anxiety which makes public speaking hard and i also have difficulty processing denser criticism/theory in written form due to cognitive symptoms, etc. and it makes me feel like i don't have much to offer to help but i would love to get more involved if possible!! tysm in advance if you answer this happy pride btw <3

Happy pride anon! Thanks so much for this question, I think it's really important!

There are so many ways to contribute to antipsych/mad liberation movement, and it's so important that our spaces are accessible! When we're fighting for our rights as mad and disabled people, we deserve to have our access needs respected, and to be able to show up in whatever ways work for us. I talk a lot about writing and theory on here just because Tumblr is a place I go to write, but theory is not something that feels always relevant or important in many spaces. Community and accessibility always comes first!

Whatever you have to offer to the movement is enough and valued. I'll list off some ideas I have, but honestly, whatever you feel passionate about and your own ideas are likely to be better than what I can list off.

Creating art! whether writing, drawing, mixed media, anything, creating art and sharing it with others really can be an important way to honor our experiences and share them with others.

Finding out where a psych ward near you is, and writing cards, sending in care packages with things like books, puzzles, fidget toys, things like that. Happy to write out some more tips for that if people are interested.

Graffiti! even if you're just using a sharpie to write alternative crisis line numbers that don't call the cops on posters for the 988 hotline, putting up psych abolition stickers near hospitals, things like that.

Going to protests. There aren't a lot of specific mad pride/antipsych protests, but depending on your area, there might be some stuff happening in July for mad pride! I know there's an event happening in Vermont on July 15th.

Creating reading groups. I think theory is not more important than lived experience and isn't necessary to read super dense academic stuff, but I know for some people it can be a really powerful experience to read stuff that validates your experiences and offers new ways of understanding. Creating a book club where you can read stuff with other people, talk about it together, discuss questions and confusions you have together, can be a way to make it more accessible then trying to navigate it on your own. And it absolutely doesn't have to be theory that you read, it could be memoirs, fiction, nonfiction, anything that interests you!

Finding out what is already going on in your location. Even if there isn't specific antipsych groups, a lot of cities will have mental health support groups, mental health clubhouses, peer support, etc. Sometimes there will already be projects going that you can figure out ways to get involved.

Writing reviews of hospitals/psychiatrists/treatment providers to better give people in your community an idea of what to expect.

Community building. I think that a lot of times, we can feel really isolated and that the psych system can make it hard for us to be connected to each other and learn the skills to support each other. Joining groups like the Hearing Voices Network, other peer support groups, local support groups, clubhouses, etc, can be a really important step just to build relationships and get involved without necessarily having to create specific projects.

Learning what resources are near you and building up a resource library so that you can share things like coping skills, peer respite, local orgs with other people in your community!

Understanding the laws around psych hospitalization, mental health, medications, etc. If new laws are proposed, giving feedback, emailing hospitals about policies, things like that.

Self care and rest. So often we are in crisis, constantly going, feeling the pressure to be involved. Resting can be part of resistance! Taking the time to care for ourselves, our community, embracing joy, play, recreation, is so important. Our survival can be resistance in a system that doesn't want us free.

These are just some ideas, and are not a complete list. I really believe that everyone's contributions are worthy and valuable, and that whatever people have to offer is worth celebrating. Our movements should be accessible and considerate of all of our different needs, and figure out ways to empower each of us to participate, and to get rid of barriers together. My way of engaging with antipsych stuff is absolutely not the only or best way, and I always love to hear from other people about their approaches!

TL;DR: Theory and public speaking are not the only ways to particpate, and accessibility is important! Whatever things you are passionate about are good places to start brainstorming. There are multiple options of things like art, sending care packages, and getting involved in local community.

Followers, please feel free to add on your own ideas or ways you participate! Would love to hear all the amazing ways we're all engaging with this movement.

[redley-of-many-noodles]

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog.

I’m Redley. Relatively new to Tumblr still, but I’ve been finding that I’m comfy here. Though it still feels awkward (thanks, dysphoria), I prefer she/her pronouns. I don’t mind they/them, but… meh. Note that Redley is neither my legal or chosen name; it is solely a handle, and I will only tell you my chosen name if I feel comfortable with you. If I extend that trust, please treat it with respect. If you don’t, I will remember.

Here’s the main stuff I’m comfortable sharing or want you to know about me:

1) I’m transfem, but haven’t had an opportunity to do much actual transitioning yet. Dislike my voice, adore my hair. My luscious, glorious, flowing hair.

1.5) I am likely pansexual, but I haven’t done enough research to know for sure. All I know is, people are… well, people are hot.

2) I live in Florida, but was not raised here. The climate and scenery are nice; the local government sucks ass though. Also, I miss snow.

3) I’m a diagnosed autistic, falling somewhere on the high-functioning end of the spectrum. I’m on prescribed antidepressants, but have not been able to find a psychologist/psychiatrist yet because it’s fucking Florida.

4) There are a lot of things and people I don’t understand, but I’m always open to learning. Trying new food is a special passion of mine, and I’ve met some quite fascinating new people since starting this blog. (*eoughck* @potentially-a-poser *aucghk* @analogue-system *ahem*)

5) I will not tolerate hateful behavior. You will be immediately blocked for shit like denying any of the shades of aro/ace individuals as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. If you see me spreading misinformation or saying something that excludes members of the community, please tell me. I’ll research the matter, as well as review any sources you send me.

5.5) okay so I think I’m demiromantic

6) I do not mind being tagged or sent asks or otherwise brought into conversations. People who abuse that will likely get blocked, but whatever your social anxiety is telling you probably comes nowhere near ‘abuse’ in my book. Anonymous asks are enabled, but that can likewise change if the feature is abused. Hate asks will be blocked, naturally.

7) I would prefer being asked before you directly message me. If you don’t, there is a possibility you’ll be blocked, but it’s not a guarantee. I don’t want me and my friends’ conversations getting buried by anything.

8) If you consistently and frequently post tiktok/reddit memes with little to no commentary, I may block you simply out of annoyance should you repeatedly show up on my dash. It’s not personal. If something about you makes me suspicious or uncomfortable, but not outright offended, I’ll most likely notify you of my reason before I block you.

9) Age: pick a number between 1 and 100 because it’s none of your fucking business. None of you are entitled to any of my personal information, regardless of the reason. I will share only what I want.

My Behaviors

There are certain things I gravitate towards or away from on this site. Here’s some:

1) I am most likely to follow people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, are mentally ill, or are dealing with some variety of personality disorder. This is mostly just due to the fact that I find the most common ground with those people. But even those who I have little common ground with, I’ll tend to find very interesting.

2) I don’t mind things like roleplay and hornyposting on my dash, but will almost certainly not interact myself, or make original posts in that category. More extreme examples won’t necessarily get you blocked or unfollowed, but… well, my filtered tags list may grow.

3) I don’t always tag reblogs. This may mean that my followers will see random things that caught my interest. It could be art, shitposting, tender affirmations, politics, or just goofy-ass Tumblr shit. If something I regularly reblog/post about bothers you and isn’t properly tagged, let me know.

4) I am discovering that maybe, I might, perhaps, be a little bit nosy. When I see someone receiving hate or suffering and stressed, I am likely to take it upon myself to do or say something to try to make them feel better. If I bother you with this, I will not be hurt or offended if you block me. In general, I will do my best to be respectful of it when people draw boundaries, so don’t hesitate to draw any you feel necessary.

5) If your intentions are pure, you will likely find that I try to be forgiving and/or understanding of your mistakes, at least in regards to interacting with me. (The /or is a very important distinction.)

6) I will often be attracted to dark, tragic, or dystopic works of art/fiction. I get a form of catharsis from such media, and some of my writing will reflect that.

That’s about it.

That’s all the important stuff I can think of, aside from tags which are at the end. Still, this post may be updated or rewritten in the future. In general, just be kind and open-minded, and we’ll get along fine. Even if you disagree with me, as long as you are civil and rational about things, I’ll likely have no problem interacting with you.

Be safe, and be yourself! <3

Ah, okay! Thank you. I was confused about that.

And he seems to be like this all the time when I see him, which is probably why schizophrenia seemed more fitting to me. But I’m not with him all the time.

It doesn’t seem like he’s actively seeing things that aren’t there, but pretty much every time we see him he’s asking us if we’ve heard about this or that nefarious thing the government is doing. And the things don’t seem to connect well, if that makes any sense. Like this week it might be that Biden is doing XYZ about the migrants which sounds good but secretly means ABC, and next week it’ll be that Trump, I don’t know, made it the case that all the homeless shelters are going to close down, and the next is he doesn’t like the local DA because *some other thing that either makes no sense, or that sounds like the worst possible interpretation of a small bit of real news.* It doesn’t seem stable enough to be, like, QAnon, it seems disconnected and new each time, which leads me to think it’s not conspiracy theories.

Where the guy I knew pretty well who had bipolar would have very exciting but unrealistic ideas when he was manic, like say he could single-handedly code a MUSH with no help but never show any work on it and excitedly say he was onto the next thing.

So that’s why I thought it seemed more likely to me (with nowhere near sufficient info)that my mom would reach for the label that sounds less severe to her even if the other fits better. But yeah I do not actually know.

The homelessness thing I said because at one point I was talking to my psychiatrist about my family history, and when I said I believed he had schizophrenia and then mentioned 1) his chronic homelessness plus 2) his persistent desire to live in a van and travel the world following Phish (is Phish even still a thing?), she said that this type of …wandering? I don’t remember the word, but it sounded like she was saying it has a name? …is fairly common in schizophrenia.

I have the impression from the way she said it that she was trying to reassure me to some degree. Like, “that must be really weird and off putting to you but it’s a known thing. You can expect it to keep happening.”

[nerdygaymormon]

Im keeping this on anon because I-I... Well, you'll see.

I've been working on my issues for a while; getting diagnosed properly, working through trauma, and being kinder to myself. And I just... Discovered a huge issue with how I was raised regarding sex.

I was raised Mormon and raised to be sexy but sexless. I had to conform to male ideals of how a woman should look, which was sexy, but if I ever implied anything but being a stalwart virgin I'd be shamed... Or worse.

This has led to two horrific things in my life:

The first one is that I realized I've been fantasizing about being raped since I started puberty as a young child, that being the only 'acceptable' way to have sex without being damned. Ive had a high libido my whole puberty and post puberty life, but no one ever taught me how to care for those urges. Ever. And its intensely horrific that a young child would yearn for sexual violence.

The second is when my parents caught me looking at pornography. It wasnt even porn, it was erotic content, but it was enough they took *every* possible device in my name, cutting off every avenue of communication, and confined me to the house for weeks and started talking about forcing me into rehab for my 'addiction'. The truth was I had absolutely no way to manage my high libido and no one that would help, so I turned to the thing I thought I could hide. I had to essentially escape to the neighbors, claim abuse, and then after months of consulting with my psychiatrist, a psychologist, and two bishops my parents stopped controlling my life (and instead are trying to 'good advice' me into controlling my life anyways)

Over mild erotic imagery.

I already know I need to leave the house and make my parents as minimally involved in my life as possible, and I'm also going to have to wipe my records from the Church to keep them from trying to stalk me. While theyve let me have control, theyre always breathing down my neck and trying to 'drag me back' into the Church... When it was the Church that caused all of these problems in the first place. This is severe sexual and religious trauma and I know I need to leave, but I cant drive, I cant afford a place to live, and if I wipe my records now my parents will get far worse.

Its okay if you don't answer this ask, a-and if youre willing to talk to me in private refer to me as the Barbie Anon and I'll reveal myself, but I need help. Where can I go?

I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time. You're in a tough situation.

I'm not an expert on available resources beyond some national help lines for things like suicide. Actual resources are usually available through your state or city, or from local non-profits. You could try contacting The Trevor Project and asking one of their counselors if they could point you towards resources that could help you leave your home. If you're in Utah, perhaps you could contact the Encircle House near you and see what they can suggest.

I know when it feels like you're stuck in a situation you can't get out of, it feels like this will never end. Please know that life gets better. As we get older, get a job, go to college, go to counseling, get some benefits & assistance, and so on, we get more control over our life and we get to make changes.

Good luck! Wishing you the best!

Cabin Fic Masterlist

As Good a Place as Any (ao3) - Taste_is_Sweet steve/bucky T, 6k

Summary: "It was a retreat," Steve goes on more calmly, then has to swallow against something a little too close to nausea lodged in his throat. "They put—they brought me there to help me get my head on straight. Their psychiatrists were sure it'd help me to get away from everyone. And, and they showed me how to set up video calls. If I wanted. It wasn't a prison."

"Video calls," Bucky says flatly. He stares at Steve so long that Steve has to force himself not to avert his gaze. Bucky's eyes are huge and horrified, and he pushes his fingers through his hair again, then leaves them linked on the back of his head. "Stevie," he says, and his voice cracks. "Stevie, don't you even know what they did to you?"

Baby, It’s Cold Outside (ao3) - haveufoundwhaturlookingfor clint/sam G, 1k

Summary: Clint, Sam, Natasha and Bucky are staying in a cabin for a few days during the winter holidays. Unfortunately, Clint and Sam get trapped inside due to the blizzard outside. This wouldn’t be a problem if Sam didn’t have a crush on Clint.

Cat Person (ao3) - The_She_Devil steve/bucky E, 72k

Summary: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bucky Barnes is tasked with acclimating Steve Rogers to the 21st century. Together with Alpine, they are stuck at the Retreat for four weeks catching up on history, technology, and pop culture.

Bucky is aware he might be playing with fire by wearing those leggings around Captain America. Steve is aware he should not try to take off said leggings, as much as that pretty Agent Barnes might want him to.

Takes place during those few weeks when Steve was at the Retreat right after coming out of the ice.

don't threaten me with a good time (ao3) - canistakahari steve/bucky T, 10k

Summary: Steve's taken him on vacation to a cabin in Canada in the middle of winter, so it's obviously the perfect time for his body to go haywire. Bucky is determined to stick it out, though, partly because he's a stubborn bastard, but mostly because he feels some kinda way about Steve.

Like Real People Do (ao3) - 2bestfriends E, 67k

Summary: Seven years into an isolated retirement after the Battle of New York, Steve has carved out a place for himself in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. He has a best friend (his dog, Lady), a frenemy (a local black bear named Rufus), and a cabin in the middle of the woods, an hour's drive from the nearest town. As November comes to a close, he heads into town to pick up supplies and ends up with a stowaway.

Bucky hasn't had much luck over the past seven years. Disaster caused his family to move from New York to Indiana, and his life has steadily fallen apart ever since. After one too many heartbreaks, he decides to hitch his way back to the last place he remembers being happy: Brooklyn. He's in the homestretch when he finds himself stranded in a half-empty tourist town in the Catskills and decides to take a chance crawling into the back of someone's truck.

--

AKA the "Lumberjack Steve/Twink Bucky" fic of our hearts. Bucky spends so much time thirsty as hell.

Of Books and Memories and Snow (ao3) - vorkosigan steve/tony T, 21k

Summary: Even if Steve and Tony are sort of talking again, the unease between them is still palpable. Steve wants to talk things over again. The last thing Tony wants right now is to ruminate over the past. He finally has a weekend off (or as near as), and he decides to go skiing in his old family cabin he hasn't visited in many years. Inviting Steve along seems like a good idea at the tim... No. No, it doesn't, it really doesn't, but it's beginning to look like the only option. Also, catching a cold really wasn't a plan at all...

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater (ao3) - frostysunflowers G, 4k

Summary: A weekend visit to the cabin doesn’t go according to plan.

Ride of the Valkyries (ao3) - archwrites (Arch) darcy/steve E, 7k

Summary: “This is the best-slash-worst mission ever,” Darcy says. “On the one hand, we’re stranded in the wilderness; on the other hand, I get to spend days in bed with Captain America.”

Or, How Darcy and Steve Learn to Stop Worrying and Have Lots of Filthy Sex.

do you know anything about the national adderall shortage? my doc wanted to wait til it was calmed down before giving me a prescription but I don't really know how to check that stuff

i know a little bit!!! Theres a big post on r/ADHD about it, and you can check the FDA database to see if there is an official shortage of amy drug. of course, that doesnt necessarily mean your local pharmacy will have it, or will have a medication your insurance will cover. The problem I was having was that all the pharmacies near me were out of the generic stuff, and my insurance wouldnt cover anything else. I clould have fought them on it (and my psychiatrist was ready to) but without my meds, I didnt have the executive function to actually follow through on that. (Also, my prescription is really high (40mg a day babey) so some pharmacies i talked to werent willing to fill it even when they did have enough pills, because it would entirely clear them out)

(also without my adderall it was almost impossible for me to push through and do things i was anxious about, so i had to make my mom call pharmacies for me to see if they had any adderall lol. they did not)

i ended up finally getting my medication through a mail order pharmacy, which is definitely more expensive than getting it at my regular pharmacy (getting my prescription filled at the grocery store was about $25 for 30 days, and through Caremark its $100 for 90 days) so thats not going to be an accessible option for everyone, but it worked for me

Looking at the FDA database I linked above, they list all the manufacturers and when they're expected to have amphetamines back in stock. The latest date on there is by August 2023. i mean, time will tell if that's an accurate estimate, but it looks like thats when we're expecting things to calm down

hope this helps!!!

So at first I reblogged this with nothing. No comment, no tags. But then... I dunno I just felt compelled to share this from my life and came back to edit my reblog.

Years ago in February 2010, I moved from Florida to Georgia due to my parents splitting for good. I knew if I stayed with my dad, violence would happen at some point and one of us would be dead and the other in jail for it. I had just started treatment for my bipolar in August 2009 shortly after getting my diagnosis. To move, I had to drop out of college. I'd had to take a year off previously due to family and financial reasons, and had finally gotten back in January 2010. I also had to get a new psychiatrist and therapist so I could continue treatment for my mental health.

It was in group therapy at the new facility in GA where I met this woman. We'll call her Raven, as that's her preferred name. Raven was an older woman in her 50s. We did not have anything in common. But I saw her every week at group. She's been doing this for years. Decades at this point, and while we didn't really interact beyond polite greetings and goodbyes or small talk in the waiting room, a lot of what she said about coping skills resonated with me. Standard coping skills never worked for her, and they don't for me either. So any time she had suggestions for others outside the box, I'd make a note to look into it or try it out. Little by little, her suggestions began to help me adjust to my new situation and work on myself finally after years of being a punching bag for various members of my immediate family. I also heard a lot about her kids, especially her oldest. She never named them. Just indicated them as first son/eldest, daughter/middle, and second son/youngest.

Due to being unable to find work, I left GA for Florida for six months in 2011, returning to GA in September of that year. When I went back into treatment, I didn't see her anymore. I didn't go to group, didn't have transportation reliable enough. And we didn't have appointments near each other either so I didn't cross paths with her again. I'd largely forgotten this woman who had such a positive impact on my recovery and healing journey.

Then, in January 2013, I (unknowingly) met her again at my local library. At this point in my life, I was finally at a point where I was able, with some difficulty, start socializing. I was more confident in myself and my skills and while I hadn't landed a job yet, I did have a few interviews, that sadly I didn't pass but it was better than my job hunts before! And I owed a lot of that progress to that woman's nonjudgmental attitude and suggestions during group years previous.

When I met her again, not recognizing her (admittedly I didn't realize our connection for about 4-6 months after our remewting at the library) I also met her eldest son who was with her that day, who's name I did not know. Because of her suggestions, which I took to heart and used to work on myself for a few years, I was able to not have a panic attack talking to new people. So when this dorky but kinda hot looking guy's phone shouted "EXTERMINATE!" at top volume in the library in a Dalek voice, it immediately drew my attention and prompted me to go over and chat him up. I was only interested in making a new friend, and it was obvious we had a shared interest (as I was wearing my Tom Baker scarf that day as well, so yeah... Very obvious shared interest).

Now, 11 years after marrying that man who's name I learned that very day, and 14 years after meeting his mother, my life is not at all where I imagined it to be at 37. I expected to be a hermit with dogs and alone forever. Now I'm a married person with a 10 year old kid and a dog older than the kid by about a year or two. It's been hard, yes. But I'm actually quite happy with the way things turned out.

Weird how it all started by meeting this one crazy old woman at group therapy.

What’s crazy is you can just meet someone and have no idea they’re going to change your life forever

Grasping Bipolar Disorder and Available Treatment Alternatives

Bipolar disorder medication management serves as a crucial element in creating structure to achieve stabilization of mood swings and minimize emotional extremes. People with bipolar disorder experience difficulty with daily functioning when they do not receive proper treatment.

Lifestyle Modifications: The combination of regular exercise and balanced diet and sufficient sleep leads to mental stability.

Support Systems: Emotional backing and guidance come from both family therapy along with peer support groups.

The Role of Medication Management in Bipolar Disorder

Treatment for bipolar disorder relies heavily on medication although medical professionals must consistently evaluate treatment success alongside unwanted side effects. Proper medication management includes:

Patients should have scheduled appointments with their psychiatrist for dosage adjustments when their symptoms change.

Regular checks must be performed to ensure medications do not result in new health issues.

Patients should utilize medication together with therapy to experience comprehensive treatment benefits.

Consulting with a healthcare provider remains essential before adjusting or stopping medication because it will prevent severe mood instability.

Went to a gym in the first time in a long while because I've been opting for at home workouts. I went under a day pass because I wanted to see all what was available before signing up at the location nearest me. The local gym chain is better than the YMCA near me.

I listened to one of my favorite podcasts and worked out about 30 minutes which apparently translated into approximately 300 calories burned. I broke a light sweat. I didn't push myself very hard today because I honestly didn't want to work out and had to tell myself to do it. I basically blocked the digital counter so I couldn't see how long I had been on there and tried to focus on watching the calories burned go up. I'm not gonna lie, I was bored, but I'm glad I went. I'm a little disappointed that we don't have more amenities at the local chain gym because others have more goodies and perks than this one, but I'm mostly signing up because I've always done better losing weight and staying in shape when I've had a gym membership and this membership comes with included classes so I figure that alone is worth it.

I admit that I've been a little depressed lately and the last few days have made me more aware of my mental health and needing to talk to my psychiatrist about my meds. I've bought some manga to cheer me up and also went to the car wash to make me feel better. I can't explain why but I find the car wash to be like visual ASMR and it's calming so that made me feel a bit better. I was excited about the manga that showed up today from Thriftbooks. I already read one because I had a lot of downtime with work today.

I've had some salad and a protein shake post workout so far. Took a break from blogging and I'm off to have some goulash and cornbread leftovers for dinner. Hope everyone reading this is having a good day.

Finding the Best IOP Near Me: A Guide to Intensive Outpatient Programs

When struggling with mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, or addiction, finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming. If you’ve been searching for an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) near me, you are on the right path toward recovery and support. Intensive Outpatient Programs are an excellent option for individuals who need structured mental health or addiction treatment but prefer not to commit to inpatient care or reside in a facility. IOPs offer a flexible, outpatient approach to therapy and recovery that can be tailored to your specific needs.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to find the right IOP near you, what to expect from such programs, and why they might be the right choice for you or a loved one.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a treatment plan designed to support individuals facing mental health disorders or substance use problems. Unlike inpatient care, where patients reside in a treatment facility for 24-hour support, an IOP allows individuals to receive treatment while living at home. These programs typically involve several hours of therapy each week, combining individual therapy, group counseling, and sometimes family therapy.

IOPs offer patients the chance to continue their daily routines, such as work or school, while still receiving intensive treatment. This structure is ideal for those who require more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not need the level of care provided in a residential treatment program.

Why Choose an IOP Near Me?

Choosing an iop near me offers several advantages, including:

Convenience: Treatment centers are often located within your local area, reducing travel time and ensuring that you can easily access therapy when needed.

Personalized Care: With a local IOP, therapists and clinicians will have a better understanding of the community resources and support networks in your area, making it easier for them to create a treatment plan that suits your unique needs.

Continuity of Care: Being close to your community allows for better continuity of care post-treatment. You’ll have easier access to follow-up appointments, support groups, and local mental health services.

Support Systems: Staying in your local area means you can more easily involve family members and friends in your recovery process, if appropriate. Family therapy is often a crucial part of IOP treatment, and having loved ones nearby can enhance your support network.

How to Find an IOP Near Me

Finding an IOP near me involves a few simple steps to ensure you receive the care and support you deserve:

Search Online: A quick search for iop near me can provide you with a list of treatment centers and facilities in your area. Many treatment centers also have websites with detailed information about their services, including the types of therapy offered, program lengths, and patient testimonials.

Consult Healthcare Providers: If you already have a therapist, psychiatrist, or primary care doctor, ask them for a referral to an IOP that would suit your needs. Healthcare professionals are often well-connected to local treatment networks and can help you navigate the options available.

Reach Out to Insurance Providers: If you have health insurance, contacting your insurance provider is a great way to find IOPs that are covered under your plan. This can help reduce out-of-pocket costs for treatment.

Ask About Program Details: When you contact IOP facilities, ask specific questions about their treatment approaches, staff qualifications, scheduling flexibility, and whether they offer specialized care for conditions like addiction, depression, anxiety, or trauma. Many IOPs offer both mental health and substance abuse treatment, so make sure to find a program that addresses your unique needs.

What to Expect from an IOP

An Intensive Outpatient Program typically involves 9–15 hours of treatment per week. The therapy may take place in the form of individual sessions, group counseling, family therapy, and educational programs. During the program, you will work on understanding the underlying causes of your mental health or addiction issues, learning coping strategies, and building healthier habits.

IOPs are designed to help you develop skills for managing triggers and stressors that could impact your recovery, providing you with the tools you need to face life's challenges in a safe and supportive environment.

How IOP Helps With Addiction Recovery

Many people seeking an iop near me are dealing with substance use disorders. IOPs are particularly beneficial in treating addiction by:

Offering group therapy where patients can connect with others facing similar struggles.

Providing individual counseling to address the underlying causes of addiction and teach healthy coping mechanisms.

Helping individuals transition back into their normal routines, such as work or school, while maintaining their recovery progress.

Supporting patients as they begin to rebuild their lives and make positive changes in their relationships, work habits, and overall well-being.

The Benefits of Local IOPs

Finding an iop near me can offer more than just convenience. It connects you with a network of professionals who understand your local resources and challenges. Local IOPs are often more adaptable to specific needs because they’re familiar with the area’s cultural, social, and support systems. This can create a more supportive, personalized treatment experience that accelerates recovery.

Additionally, a local IOP can make it easier to integrate into ongoing support services like peer support groups, self-help meetings, and aftercare programs once you complete the program.

Is an IOP the Right Treatment for You?

An Intensive Outpatient Program is a good choice if you need more support than regular outpatient therapy but are not ready for inpatient treatment. IOPs can be ideal for people who have a stable home environment, strong support systems, and are motivated to work on their recovery independently.

If you’re uncertain about whether an IOP is the right option for you, speak to a licensed mental health professional or addiction specialist who can help assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment.
