Also, working on something at the moment.. it's by far the most complete piece of work I've assembled thus far. Came upstairs last night though, after doing a line of "chinese coke" and half a line of ket.. and realised the thing might be terrible. I'm reluctant to reread now and think I need to just keep pushing it forward. But feels bad man.

I guess I started in Saigon, made a heap of local friends. I didn't make it to Hanoi until about 7 months after my arrival here, and by that time Saigon just felt like home I suppose. I really did like Hanoi, but I found the people to be less approachable (honestly don't know if this is just because I didn't put myself out there the same way I did when I first arrived in Saigon and/or because I'd gone there with this preconception already in mind).

But yeah, by my arrival in Hanoi I was already pretty over the country, in a shit place. In a sort of "retake control of where you are" move, after spending days in a really bad head space, I just booked a hard-seat train ticket back down to Saigon. Honestly the best thing I could have done, I think. Those thirty five hours with the toothless farmers and livestock really gave me some time to sort things out. At the moment I'm just staying in this big "resort" full of freaks (see previous post about chinese coke and ket) in a room on the rooftop. Luckily none of these idiots stay up here, so I sorta have the roof to myself along with this one other indian guy, but he's super sound. Decided to spend the month here and commit to working on a project I'd been mulling over for some time.

Anyway, feels good to talk about it. I haven't really told any of my friends what I'm doing, nor the people here. I'm really over talking about doing things and not actually them through, so in a way I suppose it will be real nice to have a completed first draft together, regardless of the final product.

And thank you >>11970508, you're exactly right.

>i spend 30+ minutes per day plucking the hairs off my genital region. i've been doing this for about 7 years now. I've got it down to a science, doing it in patches, which I learned from reading about farmers patching their crops. I'll pluck one section til it's smooth as an egg, then the next day pluck a different section, and so on, so that there is always one section growing enough to warrant plucking. Otherwise you begin splitting hairs, quite literally, but digging too much into ingrown hairs or pluck bumps you wrongfully suspect of being ingrown hairs and it causes some weird pimples. The first 2-3 years were a constant trial and error process with many bumps, scabs from digging into ingrown hairs and pimples growing over them, but now i'm very professional with it and it almost looks like i had laser hair removal (which i've considered but the actual act of plucking is like a form of meditation for me).

>There's a small window in my shower that overlooks a courtyard behind my apartment building. The courtyard is surrounded by adjacent residential buildings. Some of the windows in these other buildings lack curtains, privacy. My bathroom window, situated in such a way, faces a bedroom in the apartment directly across it. A few months ago, on one particularly hot summer night, I took a long, cold shower, with my little window raised, a first. In the corner of my eye something caught my attention. Could it be? There was a woman in a black dress, hips swaying, facing me from her window. Shock. Was she looking my way? Incredulous, I bent over, peering into her apartment. Yes, there was no doubt now. She was staring right at me. Captivated and unable to look away. The woman undressed down to her underwear, exposing a pair of pear-shaped breasts. I began stroking my sex. I watched until she turned away and turned off the lights, leaving me with a sense of dread at not having finished in time. Did this really just happen? Naturally, the following day I showered around the same time again. It was no coincidence. There she was, waiting. Since then, I take long showers, in hopes of seeing her and whatever she's willing to expose that night. I often see her naked, and her me. I've even seen her on the street before in passing. I wonder if she recognized me.

>>11971341
the movie "Les Duellistes" is really great, but it's not based on that book
the inspiration for it is the novella "Le Duel", by Joseph Conrad
while both are set in France, the Ridley Scott movie (and original novella) is set in napoleonic era; the one I'm talking about takes place near the end of the french wars of religion, under Charles XIII (and was only published last year)

>being ambitious, polite and charming is enough to score any job you want
Provided you make it past the "AT LEASTs", "YOU MUSTs" and "REQUIREDs" in order to make it to the interview. If you have any outstanding debts, are obviously destitute, or if they already have their nephew's friend lined up and you're a formality, even a successful interview can be to null effect. There are many people I've met who resent kindness and ambition and just want to shoot you down before you even have a chance. I'm glad this has not been your experience. In someways, it's even more disheartening to possess politeness, charm and ambition and fall shy of your potential as people see you as competent and place the entire blame of joblessness or menial employment entirely on you.

>When I was younger girls used to pass around my dick pic to each other and every time a new girl would see it she would ask me for sex. Several times this would happen because the girl I was actually dating wanted to share the pic to get friends to brag. Once a girlfriend shared it in person to two mutual friends while I was also standing there and while the tell friends looked both texted me asking to give it a try. At one point I showed it to a mixed group at a party of coworkers and one of my coworkers girlfriends. A female co-worker said she didn't think she could handle it and the non-co-worker asked for me to fuck her that night so we had sex on their back porch while my coworker played in the room attached to the porch. Now I wear don't jeans, grey sweatpants, basically pants that show off my dick print and just try to catch girls staring. It happens quite a bit. When I worked retail I actually would get girls asking to take my picture, one time a coworker saw two young girls maybe twelve or thirteen trying to sneak a picture of me from behind a small support column. When I decided to settle down I married a plain doughy looking girl who is in no way traditionally attractive and I don't know why.

There have been blind studies on sexual hormones and ovaluating women, and no visual clues are necessary for women to find the man witzh most attractive features, genetically speaking (health, facial symmetry etc).

God isn’t real and I instinctively disregard the “scientific intuition” of anyone who thinks that anything like that is real, humanism is a pernicious extension of that abortion of a world view. You are asking why, as if maybe it might hurt my feelings? I’m doubtful because its an idea promoted by perfume companies and by TRP faggots, and there are no isolated pheromones identified. We don’t even know if Chimps actually have pheromones. I never said that smell wasn’t an essential element in mate selection, I said pheromones don’t exist in humans (or any primates from what I’ve seen). There are countless men and women whose natural scent is superior to mine, though ive never had any complaints in this regard and don’t really find anything like cologne to be a good use of money. Please consider if you’re not being unrigorous.

I highly doubt the industry can copy such smells, when they even fails at making synthetic vanilla complex enough or even "old book smell". Don't even know what TRP means, desu.

And I said, that funding is key. If you wok in STEM you should know how this game is played.

>There are countless men and women whose natural scent is superior to mine, though ive never had any complaints in this regard and don’t really find anything like cologne to be a good use of money.
I don't use parfums, cologne or deodorants with any small at all, so no personal interest in that area. I'm simply arguing from biologcal probabilities, evolutionary benefits and the fact that modern research rather blows money on claiming a bleeding hole is a vagina instead of sexual differences as pheromons.

You might want to read "My inner fish" (badumtsch) if you're not actually a first semester STEM fag to understand why it is very likely that, if our forefathers had it, we will still have it.

Additionally you might be interested in the fact that women on hormornal birth contol will find different men oiclactory attractive than those off it, another indicator that those deep hormornal additions change how we perceive sexual hormones through smell, meaning that their existance, be it pheromones or a higher evolutionary complexity, do exist. So pleae stop this autism.

Regression towrads the mean. Most first generation immigrants are smart and well adjusted, but genetics don't care. You are more likely to get a brainlet child than one of your kind. Those children themselves will again, if they aren't 1 in a million, get kids more similar to the egyptian average than you. Now, 50 years down the line, you have an egyptian community in canada demanding sharia law there. Just like they do in germany, france and britain. You are only thinking about yourself, not seeig the bigger picture. Self sacrifice for your fellow people is what you were born to give. Especially if you rather kill yourself. DOn't be a coward and behave like a fleeing woman.

> I have radical or particularly hateful beliefs.
Guess what, I too. But if you'Re not a brainlet you will find more adequate words till your views are in the majority. You'Re still in puberty, so you prolly not even able to comprehend this, but this will be the way. If I would speak my mind openly I would unironically lose everything and probably even my freedom, with a high probability of getting killed or injured by a mob someday. You'Re nothing special.

Firstly, I corrected it as *no radical or particularly hateful beliefs. I was speaking about the possibilities of me directly making Canada worse. My argument was the exact opposite of claiming am something special.

Before going further, my mother is a European descended Syrian. I'm mixed race, are you saying that me not being "a brainlet" (well, at least I don't feel I am haha) makes me a one in a million child?

Now, are you claiming that it is genetically encoded in egyptian dna to demand Sharia law, and that urge can only be suppressed for so long? I know you're probably not, but there isn't a reasonable alternative to this argument. I don't see it. I don't see how my children will do that, I will raise them irreligiously, I will likely not ever bring them to Egypt. I will likely not teach them Arabic. You don't seem to understand my intentions. Maybe my view will change as I get older, maybe not. Don't currently see how it would.

You want a Polish wife because you're attached to the culture. I am not. I haven't convinced myself am not, I genuinely am not. Deep inside, at a subconscious level, I despise this place. Once my direct family dies and if my limited friends here immigrate, I'd completely cease to care about this place.

Maybe my view will change as I get older and I'll realize something I currently don't see, a true brainlet decision would be stop working towards my goal over this future possibility that I know is highly, nearly fully, unlikely.

The probability of you beeing significantly smarter than the average egyptian is very low and if you are, your children will tend to be moer average egyptian than not.

90IQ is the gate which closes off democratic states. Below this the populus is too stupid to be able to function within democratic means and needs a strict law (sharia or otherwise).

>I don't see how my children will do that, I will raise them irreligiously, I will likely not ever bring them to Egypt.
Most european born turks were raised in western values and never been to turkey. Tribal thinking and longing for belonging is deeper than some teachings. Your children will never be fully canadian and the day will come when they will want to have a society with their own people instead of beeing an eternal minority. That's why thrid generation is the most radical regressive one. They are neither fish nor flesh. You are making the coice for them and they will recent your liberal values just like they resent the western world. You are robbing them of everything which makes them egyptian while not beeing able to give them anything which would make them canadian. A piece of paper stating this doesn't make it any better.

>. Deep inside, at a subconscious level, I despise this place.
Your firstly far too young to know that and secondly this would mean that you better not reproduce at all, because, you hate verything which makes you and millenia of your forefathers. Ihope it's only puberty.

Either way, you want something which will destroy the country to flee to and make egypt only shittier. This is the coward decision, nomatter what you tell yourself. Europeans fought to death for their soild and betterment of their countries, while you can't even fathom to sacrifice even luxuries to better yours. This is the simple truth and the reason why your country is shit. It's not that you people are too stupid, it'S that the smarter ones don't give a fuck about their country.

I'm not particularly well informed on this calculation, so correct me if I'm wrong, but if I marry a Canadian, my children's grandfather will be the only pure (mostly pure) Egyptian in their direct descendance (like I said, mother's a European descended Syrian) Things will likely not work out as you're prophesizing, genetically speaking. Also, genetics are a large factor towards intelligence, but they're not everything.

My children will grow up as Canadians. My children will likely look Canadian (am white). My children will speak like Canadians. At every aspect my children will be Canadian, save for genetics perhaps. But, what the fuck are Canadian genetics? What the fuck are American genetics? They're nations of immigrants. I don't worry about my children feeling like they don't belong.

>Your firstly far too young to know that and secondly this would mean that you better not reproduce at all, because, you hate verything which makes you and millenia of your forefathers. Ihope it's only puberty.

My mother isn't Egyptian. I didn't see my father much while growing up, and I grew up abroad.

>>11975746
>I'm not particularly well informed on this calculation, so correct me if I'm wrong, but if I marry a Canadian
Yes, biologically speaking you are destroying both, your and the genetic patterns of your partners uniqueness and specific adaption by mixing it up. Sure, you are still caucasian, but that doesn't mean there are no differences. One of you will get the shorter end of the stick and your kids still won't be europeans and be "off". Your children therefore, and that'S as well statistically true, will be more keen in promoting policies which make canada into a country were they aren't off (more immigration). This leads to a white minority making everything you like about canada to disappear with them, as has been the place of every multicultural experiment, see France or Britain or Germany.

>Also, genetics are a large factor towards intelligence, but they're not everything.
True, but they ae 80-90 percent, while nurture is still unchangable for the better with our current understanding, meaning you can fuck the IQ up by multiple means but we still don't know how to effectivly boost it beyond puberty (IQ raising is possible but will be averaged out after hitting puberty showed in twin studies).

>My children will likely look Canadian (am white).
I don't want to be rude, but just because you are caucasian doesn't make you white, let alone anglo-frence. Look into human phenotypes. Your facial features are very much different from those of northern europeans, which make canada canadian, just like my western slavic features are very distinctivly eastern european and different from the germans right across the border. Your children will be a "mutt meme". Neither fish nor flesh.

>save for genetics perhaps
Anon, genetics is the one most important thing. Gens make culture, just like everything else. It's like claiming a good faked MTF tranvestites is a woman on all levels but genetic. It's not a woman, it's a man with psychological problems denying its real nature.

>hey're nations of immigrants
Northern european immigrants till the 60s. The america you think off is western european culture, not a real melting pot as they like to claim. With non-western european immigrants you get things which aren't "american" and don't blend in.

>I don't care about Egypt brain drain, and you have failed to convince me I'll make Canada shitter.
You don't cae about egypt just like you don't care about canada. You only care about the short term benefits for yourself and you wont really look into the points I made, because those might pop up a guilty conscience. That'S okay, I know that most people aren't able to fight off their greed for higher goals. I honestly wanted to prevent you from fucking up, but it's not my problem.

Enjoy your male roasty, a "shower" which is a penis that loses its ability to fully contract. Leakage, undesirable arousal and more prone to damage. The flaccid penis should be 1/8th the size of its erection after exercise or when concentrating. You're ruining the comfort of the organ throughout the rest of the entire day so your 15 minutes of fun can be enhanced. It's not worth the trade off. If it's bad, even the motion of walking can cause undesirable stimulation.
I have the same thing from a decade of pornography habit. The penis lost its ability to fully detumesce. Even a cold shower, it's not as small as it's supposed to be. It has improved but it bothers me. When I used to play chess or do any cognitively demanding task, it would shrink to it's fullest extent.

>Regression towrads the mean. Most first generation immigrants are smart and well adjusted, but genetics don't care. You are more likely to get a brainlet child than one of your kind. Those children themselves will again, if they aren't 1 in a million
This is wrong by the way. Regression to the mean only occurs within the family, that is, the child regresses towards the family mean. If his family mean is 100IQ, which is very possible, since he's an immigrant (has money to travel and support himself in another host country) his kid will either maintain (suppose he's 120IQ or something) or regress to his mean, and not the average nation mean (that wouldn't make any sense, races are not inbred). Just think if people regressed towards the nation mean, the high class wouldn't simply exist at all since their kids would always be regressing towards the national mean, and selection wouldn't be possible which is just ridiculous. The rest of your post is just cuckery.

>>11975944
>his mean
Meant his family mean.
Also to add, it's possible that the high class, isn't even that much selected by intelligence, because enviroment still takes part. Take the pessimist expectative of inheritance, like 0.8 or 0.85, the enviroment still accounts for maybe a half or a entire SD. The high class might be just individuals with 115-120IQ who get boosted to 125-130 by their exceptional enviroment.

There is no family mean. You have to consider the bell curve of the sexes (averages for females, extremes for males).

> the high class wouldn't simply exist at all since their kids would always be regressing towards the national mean
You missunderstood. Of course, for genetic heitability to be a thing, not everyone will be average of X country again. Regression towards the mean only means that his children, if he reproduces with a women of his own standing and heritage will most likely be below him in IQ terms, not the average. Over generations this can be lifted up, but extraoridnary individuals will not produce just as extraoridnary offspring (besides the one in a million). Just like I know that my kids won't have my 134IQ either, but they can still be much higher than the average when my wife is even more rarely above the 120.

> The rest of your post is just cuckery.

Wrong. Breeding in the west (actually the whole world, most parts of Africa to this day) weren't heterogenous. Aristocratic families for thousands of year intermarried between, setting themselves apart from the general population. Most of societies were structured within hierarchies and people married with their own hierarchy, setting themselves apart from the bottom and the top. You can search for this, having Aristocractic DNA makes you more likely to have higher than average IQ, income and opportunities in life. Social mobility basically doesn't happen and it's not a coincidence. So if he's from a distinguishable family (assuming he's not someone who hit the genetic lottery), his kid won't be dumb as the average, but not as smarter as him, in the end it makes no difference.
> You have to consider the bell curve of the sexes (averages for females, extremes for males).
Irrelevant. A family already pressuposes male plus female, their bell curves are already accounted.
>Regression towards the mean only means that his children, if he reproduces with a women of his own standing and heritage will most likely be below him in IQ terms, not the average.
I'll say that i couldn't be bothered to read the rest of your exchange with him (so i don't know the details), but suppose he's from africa or something, and is from a distinguished family, maybe he's 130 IQ, so he wants to immigrate to the west. Who gives a shit if his kid won't be of the same IQ of him? They'll probably be smarter than average because of the enviroment boost plus genetics. He has nothing to worry about, nor his kid, assuming he'll also marry a woman with similar genetic material.
>t's literally the opposite of cucking my heritage to larp as another group
It's cucking because you're denying your children a better enviroment because of some retarded infographic you've read on /pol/. If you're a high IQ in a 3rd world nation you're simply a retard and an irresponsible faggot for not immigrating to a better country and giving a better enviroment for your children.

Cultures aren't only a matter of genetics. The enviroment matter as much or maybe more because the enviroment is the sphere of action that the genetic material can't express itself. Thus, if it were only genetics, change would be minimal (in our time at least, maybe in millions of year something would change) because it would be always expressing itself fully, with minimal mutations.

Meant "can".Basically, if a culture is genetically predisposed to eat a lot of carrots, but their enviroment has no carrots, then the genetic material can't express itself, thus, they'll have to find something else to eat, not being a carrot eater civilization anymore. So no, cultures can't be reduced to simple muh genes, the matter is infinitely complex.

Again that's brain drain, which hurts the ntive country because it skims all upper IQ indidivuals and hurts the recipient country through lowering wages in industries flooded by foreign immigrants.

At this point it's obvious that you don't really understand the consequences and can't comprehend reasons against such actions which don't revolt around the individual.

>t's cucking because you're denying your children a better enviroment
So, you argue that it's ehically right to displace canadians because you want what they have build? Would you support the displacement of syrians and egyptians for american imperialism? Because I do neither and ressources are finite. Making ones envoirement better is also the long-term supperiour path than to wash your genes into some creatura not resembling anyone anymore. You are giving up your genetics which millenia of people killed for o be sure it's theirs just for short term gibsmedats. It doesn't get more cuckery than that. After a generation you lost everything you thought to gain.

>Cultures aren't only a matter of genetics. The enviroment matter as much or maybe more because the enviroment is the sphere of action that the genetic material can't express itself.
Genes express always in the same way (and if you mean prenatal or epigenetics, it's still the same genetic base unique to the group). Your desire for carrots (the nutrients they harbour, will seek out food which is adequate to give you the desired nurtients. This will still happen in the cultural frames of your subgroup. That's why caucasians as such, if you neglect such subtle differences still are pretty much culturally the same. The codes hamurabi otherwise wouldn't still be considered just, in the historical context.

Meanwhile unrelated groups will completly disregad such ideas as their genes require a different network of societal rules to flourish. Just take r- and k-selective breeding.

Your first paragraph makes no sense because in the original we were assuming he comes from a distinguished family(supposing he's 120IQ or something), and he himself is a distinguished individual among his nation, so his kid won't fall below average into the other nation (just as Chinese kids don't fall behind on western countries). Do you think the average 85iq 3rd worlder is here, speaking decent English, arguing on 4chan? By that matter alone i can say he isn't your average guy from whatever 3rd world nation he is, though i can't say anything of his genetic line, if he's just a guy who hit genetic lottery or comes from a 100iq family. If he comes from a line of 100IQs, and gets married to an 100IQ (with a genetic line of 100IQ) there's no way for his kid to be regressed or fall behind. If anything, his kid will be on a higher IQ because of the enviroment boost now being on a 1st world nation.
>So, you argue that it's ehically right to displace canadians because you want what they have build?
Whites are genociding themselves by not breeding enough. He is only an individual, even if he produces a mixed race kid, it's not statistically relevant, and at worst he'll lose phenotype, but nowadays no one cares about that. Race mixing isn't that common in white nations, whites are "dying" because they themselves don't breed.
>Making ones envoirement better is also the long-term supperiour path than to wash your genes into some creatura not resembling anyone anymore.
He's only an individual. There's only so much he can do to improve his 90IQ nation. Even with sustained efforts will take up decades for a 90IQ nation to catch up (and that assumes birth control policies to allow the 100iq middle class to breed more than the poor). You'd have to a retard to not take up the opportunity and get out. As for the other matter, it's up to him if he wants to race mix, he doesn't need to.
>Genes express always in the same way
If genes expressed themselves in the same way, then Twins would be identical in personality. Sure thing, in heavy hereditary traits such as Intelligence, height and so on they turn out to be the same, but if you ever met twins in real life you'd see how much they differ in personality, most of the times, because the enviroment isn't the same. Victor of Aveyron and other kids also shows that without enviroment, you're almost not even a human being. As to your conclusion about whites, they are literally killing themselves for thousands of years because of different cultures.

>Whites are genociding themselves by not breeding enough.
Whites literally can't affort to breed thanks to taxation which is insane to support the offspring of immigrants which for the most part don't work. And those in power support this, for whatever reason.

>He is only an individual, even if he produces a mixed race kid, it's not statistically relevant
Individuals constitute the society. The individuals shows that he is asocial by not giving a fuck about what he promotes through his own deeds and should be shunned and excluded in a healthy community.

> and at worst he'll lose phenotype
It's the exteriour representing the lost genetic material ones ancestors fought with their life for. Race isn't only skin deep. People arguing for racemixing are indoctrinated beyond help, when even the most natural desire to procreate with ones own is reduced to looks.

>You'd have to a retard to not take up the opportunity and get out.
The worth of a society can be measured by the willingness of men to plant trees in which shade they will never sit. Your and his mentality is the reason why shit countries will never get better and good ones get run down.

>If genes expressed themselves in the same way, then Twins would be identical in personality.
If we are speaking about identical twins, then yes. There has been enough research showing that even those which never knew each other work in a similar envoirement, marry similar spouses, like similar food etc.

>but if you ever met twins in real life you'd see how much they differ in personality, most of the times, because the enviroment isn't the same
I have two pairs of ident twins in my family. Even they fetishes, while they differ on the outside, come down to the same likings.
You seem to confuse twins and identical twins.

>without enviroment, you're almost not even a human being
More like, without nurture you die and at best become an ape. Socialization is obviously important, as in you can fill a glass only with drops (of culture to raise the expressed IQ) but you can never raise it above the (genetic) brimm. As I said in the beginning, one can fuck up the nurture part but not raise it above what is genetically determined to be expressed. But for this expression there is no need to move to fucking canada and dillute ones genetic line.

implying genes matter when the world will fuck itself within the next 500 years minimum.
None of this matters, the only thing you can control in a democracy without being deluded is your own life.
The reason religious sects have loads of kids is because they genuinely believe in the afterlife and the earth lasting infinity years. Caucasian agnostics / atheists realise the bargain it is having kids when they cost so much and practically give nothing back until they're 50 or so. Unless you've found a loving wife (which past the sexual revolution, I doubt) having kids is the most expensive way to produce obligated company, much like how Burt Reynolds said getting married is the most expensive way to do your laundry.

sure, shouting "projection" is an easy way to get out of others not speculating that you might be the one "projecting" your "doomed, infantile romanticism of what you think a family is, versus how a family is", I bet you take pictures of white kids next to pitchers of whole milk too.
Also, I'm not an antinatalist, your comprehension is wrong, having kids is wonderful with the right wife, however it is nigh on impossible to raise a family of more than 2 children nowadays without losing all your mobility, which non-religious families care about more often. Religious families don't give a shit about their own lives because they serve "God" and shack up and have as many kids as they want, their lives are lived in servitude for the sake of resolving their necrophobia.

>>11976625
Who cares about mobility? I'm non religiuos and still down to sacrifice my luxuries and easy life for my kids.

Depends what Africa you're more interested in. Achebe is famous for his depiction of precolonial Igbo life in Things Fall Apart, and it is really excellent. But if you're more interested in contemporary African stuff then Anthills of the Savannah might be a good way in, since it's about an archetypical corrupt West African military state, and notably about the important players in the government instead of a repressed citizen.

Assholes at Massachusetts General Hospital decided to try using pregabalin (Lyrica), a volatile medication used for diabetic nerve pain) on kids because they thought it might have anti-anxiolytic properties. Legislation created by drug companies allows for nondisclosure of all the effects of patented molecules, so not even the doctors who prescribe them fully know what they're giving you. Also it's legal to experiment on children. What they didn't know is that when nerve medication is combined with an SSRI like Zoloft (the one that made Columbine shooter Eric Harris extremely aggressive), it causes bad things to happen. Add in that I was prescribed clonazepam for 8 years, a drug that all prescribing references (MERC/PDR) warn against taking for more than 2 weeks (because klonopin functions as a GABA-pathway depressant developed in the 50's to act similarly to the alcohol molecule, and is therefore "habit-forming"). Addiction is a chronic abnormality causing an out-of-control triggering of the nucleus accumbens, while dependence is an artificial rewiring of the brain's threshold of foreign chemicals, convincing neurons that they need a foreign substance to send signals. It can be reversed, but not without damage.
>did it all just come at once?
Brain chemistry changes during puberty combined with the above statement about clonazepam is what exploded my frontal lobe.
>Also, are you like disfigured cause of this?
Since clonazepam is a muscle relaxant you get these awful muscle spasms while in withdrawal, like insects biting you under your skin, but what's really happening is that your muscle fibers are firing randomly, crisscrossing when they should be lying side by side. This creates these awful hard knots that pull entire muscle groups in directions they shouldn't go. It took 2 years of intense physical therapy exercises and a muscular rehab specialist jabbing her fingers into the knots like a hot steak knife to disrupt them and heal. Many of the tympanic cilia in my ears which make their way to the auditory nerve were uprooted a common "symptom" (it's a fucking disfigurement) of long-term SSRI use. Because of this, I have hearing damage that makes detecting low frequencies very difficult.
>is that stuff permanent?
I need to keep myself built through exercise, maintaining a stretching routine in order to keep everything in place and feeling good. Lots of aches, pains, and intercostal tissue soreness between my ribs, the hearing damage, and I can't drink anymore due to the molecular similarities between clonazepam and alcohol. Also just the trauma of it all. I'm lucky to be alive.
