i need to read something so agonizing, so heartbreaking, that i start dry heaving with the sobs

antidepressants and diy case

[conceptofjoy]

if HRT (both e and t) could be alchemized what do you think they would have to put in the cruxtruder to make it.

sorry if cruxtruder is the wrong word,, I'm not great at remembering things :)

thank u tgirl dirk fic

she walks through the steps a little after too its rlly funny. as for T.. hm idk alot about diy testosterone making in like history.

though im sure u could make another type of hormones (that dont have to relate to trans hrt) and alter it there… antidepressants might be a good starting point? i mean if u got animals in jars like i do, then i think using their gonads would cut down on a lot of alchemizing.

[pseudophan]

Is 50 too much? if 30 doesn't work, can you just go for bigger dose? I did it with my antidepressants, but I have no idea how your drugs work

i do have a bottle of 50mg but i took it once and it was a bit much, but like in a way where i think it might be fine if i just got used to it. the main reason i didn't keep going was i've been too busy with the cookbook and didn't want to have to deal with the side effects while getting used to it lmao

basically what we agreed on today is until the project is done i'm gonna keep taking my diy 40mg, then i'll try taking 50 and if that goes to shit i'm gonna try the ritalin again but 40mg and then 20mg a few hours later rather than 60 all at once cause that's what fucked me over last time

[anarchoherbalism]

it's funny/sad to me how many anti-diy med people whip out their mood stabilizers or antidepressants as examples of irreplaceable pharmacueticals when actually, plants LOVE making alkaloids! Yes, there are BIG question marks in terms of keeping people alive that are scary. For example, some stopgaps exist for some types of diabetes-- therapuetic diets and mediating metabolic processes via plant-derived medicines give people much better odds of hanging on while further work towards community-based insulin production and/or alternative medications are being developed; but people are HUSTLING on insulin, HIV medication (antiretrovials), and other projects because we need more solutions NOW and ACUTELY, not just for the future.

Brain meds tho? That shits fucking gucci. On lock. Would it take YOU, PERSONALLY putting in research time and trying stuff out to land on something that works for your needs? Of course!!! Everyone taking virtually any medication goes through that process anyway! Are there direct analogs for you to switch to seamlessly from what you take now? No, you will likely have to take a different approach using different pharmacological basis--but even those bases exist already, many of them have simply been discarded in scientific research or clinical practice for reasons OTHER than their efficacy or risk* (such as socially-born risk like the war on drugs or good old market competition). AND, that's only if you are the most staunch evidence-based person out there; there's exponentially more information available if you're at all willing to experiment based on anecdotal evidence, something your doctor abso-fucking-lutely does nearly every time they customize a treatment plan, or choose between closely-related members of the same class of medication.

For most people, especially if you're starting from a place of skepticism, nobody's gonna hand you a resource you won't come up with some kind of beef with. GOOD. it means you have a critical eye. Hone that! Discard what you think is bullshit and hold on to the handful of principles in every source you think could be valuable and you will start building a base of knowledge and expertise that is practical and relevant to your own needs and context.

I wish I could get a job. I know people complain about jobs in retail, but like, it sounds better than being forced to rely on others for subsistence in a system that hates you.

If someone asks me 'where do you see yourself in 10 years', idk, homeless after they repo my house? It's sort of hard to think positively to stave off depression where after ten years of treatment nobody still has any idea what should be my diagnosis. Antidepressants don't do much, antipsychotics do nothing. When I suggested to a psychologist I might have adhd I was laughed at. It doesn't help that transition at this point might be a pipe dream. Like two therapists treat trans people in entire Poland and both would be very expensive to visit. DIY isn't much cheaper. I'm in my thirties and I'm getting bald and I have a hard time looking in the mirror. I sleep for 20 hours a day and I'm constantly tired but my disability is 'light'. Light means I do not qualify for any welfare assistance at all. I don't qualify for unemployment benefits because you need to work for a full year to get that. I don't qualify for a disability pension because to get it your disability must start before 18th year of life, and I cannot prove that it did because it took me several years to go to a psychiatrist - after I was already an adult.

Even local food bank was shut down.

The very idea that I could ever make a living as an artist or game designer feels silly. At my very best period I could work for like, 8 hours a month. I feel guilty for even offering art to people since all I did - all I could do - was let them down when I got bad again.

I can't say I want to die? But I'm not sure if I want to live with no hope like that.

[enfys-squees]

How the fuck do I dress “nonbinary,” anyway?

I've been really struggling with figuring out my gender expression and clothing choices. I am much heavier than I've ever been thanks to antidepressants, perimenopause, losing access to my gym due to the pandemic, and of course pandemic stress, and most things I wear are comfortable but not nice enough to wear outside the house. In particular, I don't know how to dress up in a way that feels gender-affirming. I don't experience my gender as a midpoint between masculine or feminine, but on another axis entirely, so I have no idea what to wear that feels authentic. Our society genders all clothing by default, and it feels like I have to choose between objectively masculine or feminine clothing when neither feels right.

But I talked to someone this weekend who used to run a plus-size clothing label that had a lot of nonbinary customers, and she gave me the best piece of advice I’ve heard for this problem: Figure out your archetype or archetypes, and find clothes/looks that work for that. For example, her parter has a pirate archetype, and builds outfits that evoke that - flowy shirts, tight pants, boots, etc.

To me, this is a fantastic way to take gender out of the equation and focus on what kind of vibes I want to project, and makes shopping a bit simpler because I know some of the types of things to look for. I figured out some of my archetypes, some of which I already have stuff for, and others of which are aspirational:

• Soft 80s punk (Floofy hair, bold colors mixed with a more goth/DIY aesthetic)

• Gonzo from the Muppet Show (bright colors and clashing patterns, yes!)

• Classy and dapper with a twist (vests and ties plus high femme makeup)

• Sloth femme (basically my entire wardrobe right now...yoga pants and cardigans)

Bonus pic from an event this weekend where I did kind of 80s hair & femme makeup + a dapper herringbone vest with a push-up/binder-style red bra under it. It felt good. (And I got to wear the trans witch pendant @tamsinsayshi made for me a couple years ago.)

If you have concrete walls, spray them with water to cool them down. If possible, get an old mattress or some form of thick padding to insulate your hottest walls from irradiating you with extra heat.

You can build a DIY AC unit with a radiator pipe, a fan and an ice box; there's plenty of YouTube videos about it. It will lower temperature by a couple degrees but every little bit helps.

You can buy window polarising stickers on AliExpress for like $3; reducing the amount of UV rays that enter the home will help a ton.

If you're going out, fill up two thirds of a disposable plastic bottle and stick it in the freezer, then when you're leaving fill up the rest with cold water. Wrap it in a towel and keep it in your backpack so you can cool yourself if needed.

Forget about the oven for a couple months. You don't need extra heat inside. As an option, you can use an air fryer so long as it vents outside the house.

Don't cool off with alcohol; it will dehydrate you and possibly make you black out. On the same note: weed and most antidepressants are dehydrating; if you take any medication remember to compensate for the water intake.

Eat salty stuff, it will help you retain water, which right now is something you want.

On the religious dress code: in many cases the mandate is specifically about not being seen without covering, not about wearing something specific. You can fulfill your requirements just as well in a less suffocating way by locking yourself in a dark room and stripping naked in front of a fan. I'm sure God will understand.

If you own the land your house is on, surround it with trees. If you don't, get indoor plants. If you live in an apartment with a balcony, a hanging garden is also an option. Plants absorb heat, promote air flow and give shade even to the outside of the walls.

Minimise time outside. Plan your shopping trips carefully, and if possible do them after 6pm. If you don't have air conditioning at home, Walmart is a good place to spend the afternoon.

On the positive news: if you have a dirty mattress, this is absolutely the time to give it a thorough wash. It will make it lighter, fresher and better smelling.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

In the last Workout Nutrition DIY post, I ran through how magnesium and creatine help with sleep deprivation. I think it’s safe enough to say as a general statement there’s a good percentage of people who workout that use creatine, and more concretely, there’s an abundance of peer-reviewed research on it, which brings me to my point – creatine isn’t just for the gym.

What Happens at an Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centre?

What Does an Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centre Treat?

Most rehab centres offer treatment programmes to treat:

drug addiction

alcohol addiction

behavioural addiction

Treatment programmes ranges from one to three month, but extended care options are frequently available.

Even though many people battling addictions also have a psychological disorder like depression, anxiety, or PTSD, few alcohol and drug rehab centres are equipped to treat co-occurring disorders. A co-occurring disorder is when someone has an addiction and at least one psychological disorder at the same time. It is vital that people with co-occurring disorders receive care from a psychologist, psychiatrist, and/or trauma specialist alongside addiction treatment for successful recovery.

Even fewer rehab centres offer onsite alcohol and drug detox programmes. Supervised medical withdrawal requires a proper clinic and psychiatric doctors, and many rehabs lack these vital resources. Withdrawing in hospital then transferring to rehab does not provide continuity of care or a smooth transition into rehabilitation it is stressful and uncomfortable.

Alcohol and Drug Detoxes

Detox can be difficult and potentially lethal when attempted alone. Uncontrolled withdrawal can have swift and dramatic medical consequences. Some alcohol and drug rehab centres have onsite detox clinics, specialists, and partnerships with local hospitals to help you safely through the painful withdrawal process. Unsurprisingly, medically-supervised detoxes are significantly more successful than DIY attempts.

Medical detoxes in an alcohol and drug rehab centre are a controlled withdrawal, carefully designed to make your experience as smooth and safe as possible. You are cocooned in a safe environment, far away from stress and negative influences, while professionals administer round-the-clock medical and psychological assistance. This gives your body and brain time to eliminate detrimental substances safely.

Medication is sometimes used to ease the symptoms of withdrawal. It mimics the effects of alcohol or drugs and allows the body and brain to adapt to gradually decreasing doses. Cravings are more manageable and you feel calm and soothed. Withdrawal medications include naltrexone, disulfiram, methadone, and buprenorphine.

Co-treating Addiction and Mental Health Disorders

A co-occurring disorder is when addiction is present at the same time as at least one mental illness. It can increase your risk of treatment-noncompliance, demotivation, early discontinuation of your treatment programme, and relapse.

Long-term substance abuse can chemically alter the body’s physiology and cause mental illness. For example, cocaine addiction frequently leads to anxiety and paranoia, and heroin abuse can disrupt the brain’s pleasure centres and cause depression.

Sometimes, a person with a pre-existing mental disorder may self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. PTSD and prescription painkiller abuse go hand-in-hand because long-term reliance on the soothing effects can quickly turn into an addiction.

Most alcohol and drug rehab centres will conduct a mental health evaluation to determine if you have a co-occurring disorder. Your counsellor will develop an integrated dual diagnosis treatment plan and tailor your rehabilitation programme, counselling sessions, and outcome goals to suit your needs.

Medication is sometimes combined with other therapies to treat co-occurring disorders. Examples include:

Antidepressants

Anti-anxiety medication

Mood stabilizing drugs

Atypical antipsychotic medication

Private and Group Counselling

You can start your treatment programme as soon as you finish detoxing — if detox was necessary in the first place. Private counselling plays a significant role in recovery at an alcohol and drug rehab centre. It is non-judgemental and helps you dig deep, dissect the reasons behind your behaviours, instil a sense of optimism and hope, achieve sobriety, and learn techniques to cope with temptations, triggers, and stressful situations after you return home.

Substance abuse and recovery can be excruciating alone. Research shows that group counselling is equally as effective as individual counselling. Indeed, for many people, it’s one of the most useful aspects of their treatment, tapping into our natural desire to congregate, share common experiences, and bond with those around us.

Group therapy sessions are an opportunity for self-expression, positive peer reinforcement, and healthy new relationships. They offer insights, ideas, accountability, and motivation that may not have been possible in private sessions alone.

Individual and group counselling used together offers a well-rounded therapeutic tool for treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.

What Types of Therapy are Offered?

Let’s look at a few of the many different kinds of therapy offered by an alcohol and drug rehab centre.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

CBT and MBCT are talking therapies. CBT and MBCT counselling help addicts realise connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. These therapies are used in the majority of rehab centres because they are highly effective at aiding recovery and preventing relapse. With CBT and MBCT, addicts can finally understand the reasons behind their substance abuse making it much easier to overcome addiction.

With guidance from a trained counsellor, you will hone in on the negative thoughts and behaviours associated with your craving triggers such as pressure at work, time with particular friends, or simply feeling tired, hungry, or lonely.

You will be able to recognise environments and circumstances that lead to substance abuse, learn how to avoid and remove yourself from triggers, and use specific techniques to cope without turning to drugs or alcohol.

After identifying negative situations and behaviours, your therapist will help you list objective evidence to support or disprove your negative thoughts. Then, you will develop new responses to those triggers.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Stress increases the likeliness of substance abuse. MBSR soothes stress with meditation, body awareness, and yoga. It also helps you untangle the unconscious interactions between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Ultimately, MBSR drives a conscious wedge between cravings and actual drug or alcohol use.

The 12 step of AA

The 12 Step Philosophy was introduced in the 1930as and is still widely used today. Following the twelve steps means admitting you have a problem beyond your control, turning to God as you understand him, conducting a moral inventory of self and admitting to any wrongs, asking God for assistance and allowing his help, making amends with people you have wronged, praying, meditation, and finally, awakening spiritually. Research suggests that 12 Step Philosophy is especially effective for patients with a strong support network and this includes local Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings back home.

Family Therapy

When your family or partner attend therapy they can learn more about their role in your life, how to help you gain awareness of your behaviours, and devise ways to bolster the entire family unit. They can improve their own mental wellbeing, open up new lines of communication, and understand and avoid enabling behaviours. They can even become part of your relapse prevention plan and help halt the spread of substance abuse in your family.

Addiction can impact your family and friends. In many cases, dysfunctional relationships can contribute to and perpetuate addiction. It is unsurprising that addiction is often referred to as a family disease. Family Therapy considers a person’s drug problems in light of their family interactions. It explores dynamics that may affect behaviours and contribute to drug or alcohol abuse.

Choose the Right Rehab

People who successfully complete alcohol or drug addiction treatment programmes lead better, more productive lives. They experience social and personal improvements and are less likely to engage in criminal activity. But the key word here is successful. Ineffective programmes will not help you, so it’s important to choose an effective alcohol and drug rehab centre you can trust.

so i was at the Psychiatrist today to finally get some ✨antidepressants and shit✨ and he basically told me that I'm too soft for this world but in a way that didn't make me feel like shit. I know that this is learned behaviour but i am very much not used to being talked to in a non-judgemental way if that makes sense..

idk i just had this weird thought all day since.

I don't feel too great lately.. i had a weird spike of non-depression around the time i finally went on a date for the first time since being single again. weird though since that really stressed me out. or rather i stressed myself out about it. but it was nice. but yeah that was a little boost for like a few weeks and i really got some shit done but by now I'm scraping by. No SH though during that time but some diy tattoos (I have a tattoo machine and i like the diy look) and i bleached my hair and cut a edge into my eyebrows. Also I have a Tattoo appointment tomorrow so looking forward to that has been scratching that urge.

Yeah starting meds tomorrow once the Pharmacy opens. Excited and i hope I can focus on things and therapy better with them.

Not too happy with the diagnosis bc i don't feel like the description really fits so i want to talk it over with my therapist once she's back from her vacation.

anyways that's about it

[iatrophilosophos]

Hi! So, good news: Health problems associated with addiction aren't set in stone. The difference between people "living the life of an addict" and "taking medication that works" is a legal and social one (like @jumpingjacktrash said it's about not being able to access the Approved Correct Treatment). A huge chunk of physical health issues and basically all financial/social problems with illicit drug use are because those drugs are illegal/stigmatized, not really anything unique about the substances themselves.* For plenty of people, the desired ideal medicine IS an illicit drug, but the conditions they can get it under cause problems (personally, antidepressants and antipsychotics and most conventional pain medications do jack shit at best and actively make me miserable at worst; opiates actually treat my chronic pain and make my brain easier to deal with). These issues come from a number of places--one is scarcity and inconsistent supply making it harder to self-regulate dosage; another is lack of attention paid to drug user specific health, where "addiction" is treated as the main concern and "stop using" is the treatment for any side effect instead of holistic healthcare to counteract shit like GI disturbance, nutritional deficiencies, sleep disregulation, and more--which you'll notice are all things both western medicine and non-western medical traditions are relatively well equipped for.

The actual solution to these problems is not treating addiction as a special class of health problem, and instead taking steps to ensure adequate access to WHATEVER tools someone finds desirable for their own health. Sometimes that's alternate medications (whatever works, whether it's "non-narcotic" or a currently illegal/stigmatized drug that suits a person's need better than what they typically use), sometimes it's more skills and accomodations to deal with whatever a person is struggling with without medication, sometimes it's side effect & tolerance management; and sometimes some combination.

The better news is that we don't have to wait on systemic reform to make this a reality. Shit like decriminalization, universal safe supply, home grow/synthesis rights, open source medicine etc would definitely be advantageous, but it is possible to change our thinking regarding drugs and health and start seeking more effective solutions through DIY medicine. The harm reduction movement owes most of its advances to drug users talking to eachother to come up with ways to keep ourselves safer: we can (and many, many are already!) do the same for broader health on top of emergency response.

An immediate, individual step that can be taken towards this end is researching the health problems and background knowledge that come up in our own lives or that our friends and family struggle with (e.g. you might read up on GI complications with opiates, but it's even better to do that AND develop a firm grasp on GI function *generally* and how a wide variety of problems are classified and treated) and start looking into what might be useful in your situation and how you might go about making it happen. I'm partial to herbalism as a route to diy med--its cheap, readily available, and theres a wealth of information (whether you want to stick with what's been studied by western science or use more traditional or non-western approaches is up to you) and by using a supplement-medication interaction checker it's usually easy to get the info you need to experiment safely to find what works for you! That said there's other options, like grey market pharmaceuticals. It's not always possible to find a good solution right away, you will come up on problems and dead ends, but we CAN get there.

*small caveat here that some substances (like alcohol) may have harsher health impacts than others and we absolutely need to take an individual chemicals impact on an individual person into account in any holistic medical approach; and for some things that can involve switching substances (or for some it's deciding the drawbacks are worth it,nwhich is their right), however point stands that the barrier to doing this is a social/political one and a HUGE portion of the health problems associated with addiction are directly caused by chaotic eating, stress, and sleep disturbances--all of which are treatable.

fun fact: any policy on drugs that isn’t harm reduction is going to cause addicts to suffer and die

i know its selfish but im so glad i have a sister coz whenever i deoression spiral like this i can never think maybe my parents are right because if they were right about me they must be right about her but they put her in thousands of pounds of debt they spend around the same amount of money on coca cola as they do on either of us. theyve done way worse but i do not want to share those things

with the amount of shit she went through and how she came out of it our parents could never have been right about either of us. ever

at least shes medicated now. unfortunately therapy scares me psychologists and psychiatrists scare me and antidepressants are not something i want to try to diy anytime soon

Kaospilot (2001-2005)

Kaospilot was an Emoviolence, Anarchist-Skramz, and Noise band from Oslo, Norway. Formed from 2001 to 2005, the quintet band included Kristoffer Rødseth (Vocals), Øystein Rånes (Guitar), Petter Ringstad (guitar), Anders Simonsen (Bass), and Mads Hornsletten (Drums).

Kaospilot mainly focused on questioning systematic ways of thinking and behaving that are taken for granted but should be reconsidered. Although Kaospilot sang about philosophy and several political subjects, they didn't see themselves as a political or revolutionary band. They were based on certain paradigms from certain philosophers to help make their texts more understandable. Furthermore, Kristoffer Rødseth wrote about subjects that engaged him, such as the 'systematic and brutal repression by the American defense institution School of the Americas,' 'Latin American liberation groups fighting for human rights and freedom,' and other topics like Human Trafficking and the capitalism of Antidepressants. They tried to make their music more challenging and push the boundaries as far as possible.

Although Kaospilot shares the name with the Danish School, Kaospiloterne, they have nothing to do with the school and were unaware of it when they named their band.

With the following they had, they toured in Europe, the USA, and Japan. Kaospilot only performed at DIY independent places with close contact with the audience.

There are no articles or interviews where the band states their breakup, but following the breakup, both Kristoffer Rødseth and Anders Simonsen formed a new band in 2010 called Soul Mountain to explore new musical fields.

Kaospilot produced 2 albums, 1 single, 2 splits, and 1 compilation. They debuted with their first single, 'For Your Safety' (2001). Subsequently, a split with Neil Perry (2002), their first album titled 'Kaospilot' (2003), a split with Van Johnson (2004), and their final album, 'Shadows' (recorded in 2005, released in 2009).

You can still listen to Kaospilot on Spotify (Kaospilot, Shadows).

Someone please drop me the recipe for a diy antidepressants pls I really need one right now and I never had one
