Who do I PM or what do I post to get added to the hangout? Should I use a burner email or is getting doxxed by Shim actually kind of fun?

Make a burner google email and send me a message if you are still around tonight.

Meh. I use a real email and my real name and have posted my phone number in the hangout and no one has been creepy. Bros trying to help bros out is all.

UP THE BUM NO BABY: Sep 1, 2011; by Hand Knit

So today I was prescribed prozac, trazodone, and ambien. The prozac is for my depression and suicidal thoughts, which I will be combining with trying to change my life up so that I can have more positives in it. I'm not entirely sure what, but I think that I'll try to start exploring the East Coast a bit more, but on the cheap. Any suggestions for places to go that are at least a few hours away from Bragg that would make for a nice weekend trip? The trazodone and prozac are to help with my sleep issues. I'll be taking the trazodone regularly and using the ambien only on occasions when I seriously can't sleep, which is about once or twice a week.

From Bragg, Wilmington and Raleigh are ~2 hours in different directions. I live in Wilmington, there's a massive street fest coming up in about 2 weeks. More info:

Yes, it's a flower festival. It's also a street party downtown (where most of the bars are, among other things), alongside random music stages and fireworks at the end of it. There's plenty of scuba diving here too, if you're into that. If not, there are plenty of dive shops between here and there that you could go to to get certified. It's pretty much my favorite thing ever, and does a huge number on me for stress relief. Or hell, just come down to the beach on a weekend during the summer and bang tourists on vacation.

I have no problem with flower festivals. I grew up with this:

I think that I'll give it a look, it actually sounds like a bit of fun. As for the diving, my shoulder is extremely hosed so I doubt that I can do too much of that, although it's something I really want to get into, as I hear that the diving in the PNW is great.

Careful with that stuff. Seriously.

I'll PM you the name of a local dive shop that could give you better info. It's run by a WWP alumni, and he has had former military members whose injuries ranged all the way up to full paralysis of their legs who he has taught how to dive. It's also the same shop where I've done almost all of my dive classes, and the owner is a buddy of mine so I'm a fair bit biased, so I'll send you the link and let you decide that one for yourself.

Sounds good.

And Cole, I fully intend to be careful. If anything crazy comes up I'll be sure to hop into the chat, as well as call somebody close by.

Trazodone can be hit or miss for sleep. Taking more than 150 mg takes you up to a therapeutic dose of the SSRI and will have the opposite effect, so just keep in mind that less is more if you're going to re-dose. On the plus side there's no memory loss or reduction in impulse control like you get with Ambien.

Trazadone gave me the worst goddamn nightmares ever.

I had it as a sleep aid, and it would dry my mouth out so bad that I couldn't actually go to sleep. I was on Zoloft alongside it though, so the combo could have had weird effects.

Trazadone gave me the worst cotton mouth ever. Ambien works best of all the stuff I've been on.

Yeah, when I was being prescribed trazadone I was told it could leave me feeling hungover. Definitely noticed the cotton mouth. As far as weird dreams, I haven't really noticed anything yet. Just the usual occasional dream of being back on a deployment and going out on patrol without any gear
