I honestly believe that we need to set up a headquarters or at best move beside one another somewhere tropical and warm. We are all suffering there’s no doubts about it but we should all be looking out for one another not just be put on another notch on that fucking suicide list that shit breaks my heart all the while those greedy bastards at Merck and Co turn a blind eye. People close to us really can’t understand what we’re going through and we shouldn’t have to suffer alone like this imagine what we could accomplish together not just sat behind a forum dying silently. If you get disability paid by your goverments then you would have a source of income and shoudn’t have to worry about finance troubles as Philippines is a very cheap country to live in. Lots of vid d, beautiful beaches and friendly people not to mention your fellow brothers there as moral support, we could also do a shit ton more for the cause we really need to start structuring this and doing more.
Hi @Blueryan123, I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling like this.
Would you feel comfortable revealing your location? Perhaps you could see if there are any post drug syndrome sufferers located nearby who would like to meet? I met with a guy from here early on and it was very helpful.
Founding a post-drug commune was actually mentioned in jest a few times in recent conversations I’ve had. Some of us are financially devastated by inability to perform at work and some are basically abandonded at a young age by loved ones who think this condition is psychosomatic, so it isn’t really a terrible idea.
The stories about people being slain in the Phillipines over being accused of substance abuse make me wary through.
I have had friends who lived in Thailand and the Philippines it can be dangerous but I’ll be moving in the next couple of months I’ve wasted away in my room for several months now so I have nothing else to lose and everything else to gain. The drug has took away my happiness and I think it’s paramount to be in the best environment possible not under constant stress and worry which only furthur exumes the body. Imagine if we got 300 people pooling together a thousand bucks each we could easily buy our own retreat out there.
I’m from N Ireland doubt there’s many men from there
I’ll chip in as long as we can have a fully-outfitted research facility.
Maybe in the shed out back. Wouldn’t have trouble finding study participants at least.
In all seriousness, there is probably a high enough density of post-drug patients in the London area that several people pooling money for a home wouldn’t be out of reach.
I actually gave a research facility a lot of thought when I was imagining a retreat it would be perfect and I’m sure there are people with backgrounds in Science suffering from PFS and intellects who are eager to learn. The whole purpose of a retreat for sufferers is to let people know we aren’t alone in all of this that there’s actually real faces behind our usernames and to band together like an army and fight this thing head on and stop these suicides. One life is too many to be lost to these drugs we all deserve happiness.
The reality of the matter is that you can’t run away from yourself.
We’re prisoners I get it @orthogs but I’d much rather a better environment around other brothers who are suffering with the same disease as it’s an incredibly lonely experience to have to deal with by yourself and why a lot of these young men are killing themselves as they feel lost and nowhere to turn. There needs to be support mechanism in place this would make a world of difference instead of 3 main guys working on a solution there could be hundreds of us working side by side each having a department to work on finance, marketing, science, public image, fund raisers this disease needs structuring.
