I second this! There’s seriously something wrong with him if you are doign the best you can to carry your own weight and he is threatening you for being distressed about health concerns. Even the threat of leaving home might encourage him to reconsider his actions.

I’m really scared, it’s been a while and i’ve been feeling similar to my old crash days. I had some improvements in between but recently realized i’ve been consuming hydrolyzed soy protein in something that i’ve been eating. I don’t know where to go from here. Hope you’re all doing well.
Stay strong brother…
We know it is hard but you need to hang and chin up…
Anticipating the worse will not make it any better…
The more you are into it, the more you tame the beast…
Hey man, stay strong. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I feel you with the parents thing, i’m going through almost the same thing… we’re around the same age too, i also turned 20 this year. Please feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to. I wish you the best.
Really concerned because i took it for somewhere around 10 days and just stopped about 2 days ago. Hoping to go back to baseline because although life was difficult, I was in a somewhat manageable state and getting closer to who I wanted to be. I’m currently doing a course in medicinal chemistry on edX a couple of nights a week, if anyone wants to join me feel free to message me.
Thank you for your words.

We have to support each other cause this place is where you will find comfort…
This drug has done harm to you, don’t put another strain on you…
We are all in the same shoes… We cycle our fears… I might feel shit in two days and maybe you will offer comfort, that is how it goes… Looking forward to the chat function as we will be able to interact even better and help people…
Even though it sucks, it is an ultimate human experience… I feel very grateful to modestly offer support. I used to be a selfish prick :D.

Sup with your dad bro?
Any chance you can live independently? Or change his mind?
Show him the foundation or something!
Feel better soon brother, and PM me if you want to talk!! Seriously, if you don’t then I will 
Just how he is. Unfortunately living on my own isn’t an option as I wouldn’t be able to afford it. I got a bit better for a bit and now haven’t been doing so well this past week. I don’t know what to do anymore.
Why can’t you afford? Can you take a job?
Let me guess, the dilemma is that you are at college?
Yes, jobs, even for college graduates aren’t the easiest to find here. It’s largely down to who you know.
hey @borax decided to bump this because currently im going through a rough spot here, below my baseline
was curious if you ever tried the psilocybin or ketamin
im at the point where if i want to have “PFS normal” life where i can still work and pay the bills then i might have to take a chance, and was wondering if you had any experience with them that mightve helped
sent you a dm regarding this a while back FYI

I have not tried either of them. I recommend not trying anything and letting time do it’s thing if it’s something you can handle, but if not, I hope you find success. I’ve personally gotten better to the point where I’m just hoping to not get worse, and am willing to wait things out until there is more research on PFS (a point I never thought I’d get to when I made this post, and am incredibly thankful for). For what it’s worth, there has been a lot of progress for us as a community recently, and for the first time in a long time, it looks like we might have a solution to this problem in a few years.

Thanks for your advice and optimism. I’m pretty risk averse but was getting desperate.
Though you’re right, I’m just going to wait it out.
Hi lakehouse, have you maybe tried any supplements that might improve your situation?
no, i typically dont experiment anymore.
no supplements do anything significant for us, and the downside risks are too high for whatever little upside we get
only things worth experimenting on are breakthrough technologies like psilocybin and ketamine through clinics, but even then im risk averse. my life is worth more than being a guinea pig

yeah understandable. once your in this shit place you’re willing to try new things to finally get out, but you can get worse of course as well… just like taking finasteride, thinking we finally got rid of the mpb…
have you tried somethings already, regarding supplements, or have you always had the position to just see to what extent the body could restore on it’s own? what did you try?
The only experiments I did to try to get better were:
5htp for sleep- long before I knew I had pfs. Got way worse permanently
And cdsnuts protocol with the prohormone cycling - didn’t do a single thing for me. This was the first and last experiment I did when I knew I got PFS
Once I got familiar with the research/theory and saw the documented experiences on the forum I decided to give up on experimenting despite being tempted many times
Edit: sorry, after cdsnuts protocol, I did try PREP (the hiv prevention meds) but it didn’t do anything for me
