An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I think I'm just going to go back to using meth and drinking alcohol because I always had so much dopamine pumping in my brain it was hard to ever feel depressed now that I've been sober for 3 months I've been miserable as ever thinking about suicide more serious than I ever have before in my life at least when I was a drug user I was content with being alive.

Have you made full use of the diversionary tools such as TV, movies, books, music, etc. Drugs are much more diversionary, but they tend to contribute to more severe longer term problems.
Both light weight and heavy duty diversions neglect the work of building something positive in life. Without such construction, one is vulnerable to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune".
If you can see even small steps in taking control of the direction of your life, you may be able to build a momentum such that you find rewards greater than the transient numbing of drugs.

Meth is the worst for your neurobiology. 3 months is early recovery, I would keep it moving in that direction of healing because meth is just slow suicide to the brain.

Exactly, I agree. I know some people don't believe in medication and had bad experiences with it but if it's not your case you could try some or even something natural. For me the medication have been helping a lot.
am missing weed a lot - even though I am crazy on weed, without it life is just lonely and hopeless. Without weed I am going to become a pill-popping layabout - which is basically what I am in any case.
Well, the perspective that your worries didn't seem like reality while intoxicated might reveal that they aren't as serious as you think. Doing drugs isn't good. I didn't think I'd have to say that, but I guess I do. Maybe it's more of a sign that you and a doctor could find a medication that could help you.
It takes a while to get a life together after drugs. The body has to adjust, including the emotional controls. The brain has to learn to navigate and regulate itself. Getting away from intoxication also means learning to face what was being hidden by the drugs. It's always a pain, but it can be worth it.
I mean, I guess this is a place that accepts suicide, so it's not like people wouldn't accept the individual right to do what they want. Still, if you're going to live, it only makes sense to try and live a good life and a healthy life. It's not just one day at a time. It's one moment at a time.
Well, rather harsh. I don't believe that a prescription changes the chemical nature of drugs, but the existence of greater research and the aid provided by having a medical establishment can be helpful. There is a difference between self-medicating and being under the supervision and advice of medical professionals.
Yes, and the difference is often that mal-informed, ideologically-driven, careless and/or money hungry doctors will advise you to ignore the signs you get from your own body, surveil you, gatekeep your access, and sometimes force you into involuntary medication.
Of course people on a pro-choice site respect people's decisions around self-medication, this should not be surprising.
