NasserAlazzawi Magnesium Glyicinate

May have to give this a try as I’m having trouble sleeping at the moment

NasserAlazzawi t was more like apathy and avoidance.

Go and see a shrink, they could probably box this off for you in a couple of sessions, shouldn’t cost more than a few hundred quid.

    NasserAlazzawi Thank you for sharing! Many of it sounds all to familiar. Regular life can get so exhausting but so can be a brain/nervous system that never shuts the fuck up. The upside of it for me (having a nervous system like that) is greater insights, awareness and overall consciousness. The downside is the amount of energy it takes and the disconnect with most people around me.

    I think I might just order Lions Mane separately and go from there (I read good things on L-Theanine as well). Being AuDHD my brain is not ‘all over the place’ but it is ‘always on’ and instead of being scattered it very deeply goes on and on into the depths of one topic (mono tropic) even if I don’t want it to. And fuck, not even on the topics I want it to perse.

    “Oh you wanted to do all this other shit today? No here’s that thing from your relationship the other person has already forgot about and we are going to analyse it with the vigor and knowledge of all of psychology until the mater gets addressed in the next encounter.. and it WILL get addressed!!”

    next encounter partner feels overwhelmed and analyzed

    Amps And they will say “trauma related” and we will concur, but does not stop our brain from working the way it does. During my burnout I got Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Yeah, that shit don’t work for me. Trying to instill concepts of metacognition I was already aware of and doing since I was 12 years old. Another upside/downside from having this brain.

    That is also part of where the disconnect with other humans comes from in everyday life. They just experience themselves, others and life in general so differently and they find it almost impossible to imagine that your experience is so different from theirs. Making it harder to get something from them when it’s time to protect your actual boundaries.

      whatever Dan,
      Do these nootropics show up on drug tests as illegal drugs? I’m interested as I’ve a lot of crap going on at the moment, but because of my job I’m screened constantly. 😕

        Morty-C-137 Another upside/downside from having this brain

        Yes, but, as you point out, we’re not all the same so it may well work for Nass, and quite quickly and effectively, so it’s worth him having a go.

          Dan

          Nootropics - no.

          Psylicybin from what I’m reading online is “not in normal drug testing kits”.

          On top of that, in theory since a microdose is such a tiny amount you would not meet a threshold marker even if they looked.

          That said, I’d be careful risking a career it - perhaps learn more about the type of test they do.

          a month later

          Wondering how @Morty-C-137 and @hugopal and others are doing with this stuff.

          I’ve been consistent for a couple of months now and feel good. Sunday night and Wednesday night microdosing (straight after work so it does not affect sleep)

            On a slightly different note, any advice/hacks on losing a bit of weight/body fat ?

            Had my yearly medical and wasn’t pretty reading. Im around a stone overweight and my body fat% has increased from the last one I had in 2022. Obviously diet / exercise are the essentials, but anything else people have used in conjunction to aid progress? A few of my mates have opted for “the pen” too, but want to keep away from that option as i’m sure with a little will power and hard work I can shift the weight.

              Millsy …. so I eat dinner say 6pm the night before. When can I next eat to count as intermittent fasting ? Plus how many “sessions” per month you reckon to make a difference? Your body starts burning fat right, because there’s nothing in your derby to use?

                IndustryStandard so I finish eating around 8pm. Then I usually don’t eat until 2pm next day. But I’ve got used to that so you need to work up to it. Yes the basic concept is, by reducing he reliance on glucose in your blood for fuel, and insulin spikes through the eating response, your body turns to fat stores for fuel instead. It honestly works an absolute charm mate.. but it’s hard work at first but I barely notice I’m doing it nowadays. Plus you can eat for England during the non fasting part.

                  Millsy do you stick to this religiously? Just thinking about the temptation for a kebab/chicken and chips after a few evening beers which seems to be my issue at the moment!

                    gcw nah, not religiously. The kebabs, nights on the bevvy etc still a part of life’s rich tapestry. If I start to feel I’m getting out of shape, I just make more of an effort with it, but the weekends I tend to fall into bad habits.

                      Millsy cheers. Might give it a go. Have seen the beginnings of a middle age paunch and need to remedy!
