@Amazoniac Burtlancast I believe. Not seen since October. I asked Charlie if he was banned and got crickets.
-
Amazoniac were you banned?! I had no idea the banning was so extensive. My god Charlie really has gotten completely mad and out of control. This is the exact kind of behaviour cult leaders do. Explains his anti vitamin A stance.

Nice one!

@Amazoniac How nice to have both of my banned accounts right next to each other in the list

User questforhealth was banned recently on this post for debunking Charlie's claims by asking questions :
-
Charlie is losing it. I hope this place can give me good advice.
-
@questforhealth Welcome to you friend

@questforhealth
Somehow I think you'll know if there's bad advice in a moment. And even though noise or pain can drown out the sense sometimes, that's often just cue to sleep on it once or twice.
-
@ThinPicking Hopefully. Been a bit exhausted the past few days from RPF and Charlie’s recommendations... Waking up feels like I am glued to my bed.

@questforhealth
That doesn't sound unusual to me. If someone's even slightly invested, emotion hath weight. And if we're forced to haul it somewhere we may need a rest.
Aside from that. A spot of fluid restriction after 18:00 and up to bedtime, around a dense and balanced(ish) dinner, may do wonders for sleep inertia. Assuming a person isn't already generally restricting. In which case the opposite may be true.
This very simple thing may be worth testing. Carefully, if you're already off balance. And preferably while self describing in a journal to keep track of it.
-
I don’t have the energy to do journals. I have been trying a lot of stuff recently though, I’m also trying to get heavy metal testing as I suspect that might be one problem I have.

@questforhealth
Ok no problem. I've been there I think. At the point I've needed record the most, at times I lacked the focus to keep them. Memory suffices.
That's quite the degree of exhaustion though
hmm. How's your circadian, sleep latency and its length? I.e. are you keeping good time in getting to bed most nights, do you get to sleep quite easily and is it 7 or more hours (not that there's a blanket rule). I'm not asking because of the restorative aspect of sleep, but because its quality can reveal things about the waking hours before it.This isn't an opposition to your own self inquisition and impending acquisition of data points. Continue with that and anything else you're bound to try.
-
@questforhealth I hope so! As with everywhere there's gonna be a lot of misleading information, as well as people being completely unhelpful too.
If there's a specific topic you'd like people's input in don't hesitate to make a thread.

I wish they could see the damage they are causing. Makes my heart sick.

It’s been hard to sleep regularly for a while now. I need stimulation from a phone 24/7. Very strange. Slowly improving and funnily enough dopamine agonist drugs like amphetamines helped men with some of my symptoms. But bad brain fog makes it hard to remember what to do say to day and the lack of energy is shocking.

They'll see it in time.
Please don't let this part stick around too long. Damage can be done to the undeceivable as much as the deceived.

@questforhealth When you feel like that, the positive aspect is that you likely are not overloaded with stress hormones the moment you wake up.
I would say this state is typical of serotonin being too high.
In your situation with my current experience I would have a solid diet and implement a 1mg dose of cyproheptadine during the afternoon, with a cappuccino, and report back to the forum how that goes. I wouldn't do that more than 3 days in a row just to assess if there's any benefit.
Others might not agree, but I would do this because it's a relatively risk-free (low dose. temporary) way of trying to learn how a potentially helpful tool affects you.
For me to really get better it took 2 plus years and still there's tough days health-wise. Over time you will aggregate information, learn to apply it, learn from your applications and then throug breaking free out of learned helplessness you will exponentially increase the benefits reaped.

I have tried mirtazapine and it does help me a bit. Unfortunately I overdid it on caffeine a year ago and still haven’t recovered much. Will have to try serotonin antagonists again maybe when I summon the energy to get them.
It wouldn’t surprise me if heavy metals cause problems with my nervous system. I know various things like that can lower dopamine.
