  • Hey Guest,

    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.

Hi, I might have mentioned this before, but I wanted to mention it again, as Modafinil is great for depression. Yesterday I spent the day crying, suicidal (normal day) and in the evening I took Modafinil and actually was laughing with friends on Zoom. I think it stops working if you take it every day, but it is also good for fatigue caused by depression. I recommend it a lot. In the UK you can buy it online legally.

Modafinil gave me a tiny energy boost, you have to be careful if you have allergies though. It stimulates histamine receptors, and gave me a horrible itch around the 2nd time I took it, likely because of the histamine cascade. It is good to try a small dose and see if the therapeutic benefit is substantial.

That's very interesting, isn't it used for ADD?

While I've never used Modafinil, I have used Adrafinil often in the past when dealing with insomnia and having to work. Adrafinil converts into Modafinil, and you don't need a prescription in the states. It worked quite well for it intended purpose, which was to make me not feel so sleep deprived at work. I don't really remember it having much effect on my mental state, but maybe I just never noticed and I have no clue what it would do if I used it after getting enough sleep. I figured if I took adrafinil without being sleep deprived, I wouldn't feel it. Kind of like an OTC painkiller, in that if you're not in pain, you won't feel any different after taking it.

I couldn't use it for more than two days a week though, because on the third day, it would do nothing. Even the second day, it wasn't as effective. So I always saved it for the day I was the most sleep deprived each week. I'm pretty sure I have a few left. If I do, I'll take it again just to see what it's like now that getting more than 0-4 hours of sleep for five days out of the week for five years. I do have serious fatigue from depression so maybe a weekly boost isn't such a bad idea. We'll see.
