    SCP-3008 is a large retail unit previously owned by and branded as IKEA, a popular furniture retail chain. A person entering SCP-3008 through the main entrance and then passing out of sight of the doors will find themselves translocated to SCP-3008-1. This displacement will typically go unnoticed as no change will occur from the perspective of the victim; they will generally not become aware until they try to return to the entrance.

  • Bipolar community weekly check in Nov 10th
  • I just wanted to share some happy news. The meds that my doctor has been tweaking over the last year have finally hit a sweet spot. Even with the devastating election last week, I haven't spiralled into oblivion; rather I've been able to keep a level head. This is the first time that meds have really worked for me; it's so wonderful.

  • Change in Latuda/Lurasidone 20mg pills?
  • I asked my close friend who is a pharmacist (+15 years) about your post. They said:

    L25 is aurobinda pharmas generic

    L20 is sunovians generic

    Manufacturers have to provide evidence of bioevilablence to fda for approval

    It sounds like your pharmacy had its generic supplier changed for some reason.

  • Ted Lasso could come back for a fourth season
  • I absolutely love Ted Lasso; it's my absolute favorite show. But...this does not sound good. The 3 seasons they created are special and really well done. For them to come back, after they wrote and told their cohesive story, feels like it won't end well.

  • how to cope mentally during gaps in HRT
  • I changed to every 5 days with 5 mg, but I kept lowering my dose (I was afraid of my endo forcing me onto a lower dose if my blood work showed too high E levels).

    Something to think about in terms of your estradiol results is how long it's been since your last injection. I've had several providers tell me they don't care how long it's been since my last injection, they just want to see. I push back that and only let them draw when it's a true trough sample (e.g. I inject every 7 days, so I have blood drawn on that 7th day before I inject). This will give you (and your endo) a truer value to base your dosages/frequency on.

    (bicalutamide didn't seem to have any effect on my mood, positive or negative, so I stopped using it)

    I had a similar experience to bicalutamide, but I kept taking it up until my orchiectomy. I tried spironolactone, but I didn't like the results. If you're not in the US, ask your doctor about cyproterone acetate. That stuff made me feel levelheaded; sadly because I was self medicating I had to stop when I began seeing a professional.

    Another factor: I started HRT three months ago, so it could be that my body more easily slides back to testosterone right now and I just need to get over this initial transition to a new hormone regime.

    This definitely sounds true. Based on my experiences, the first several months had ups and downs (hormone-wise). When those lows hit you, talk to a therapist, hangout with a friend, do a mini-fashion show in your room, go for a hike. The lows will pass; things definitely get easier. 💜

  • how to cope mentally during gaps in HRT
  • I used to have really bad mood swings that included lots of dysphoria. I made the soonest appointment with my doctor and brought this up to them. They changed the frequency of my injections to be closer together. This worked for me really well.

    Alternatives could be different delivery methods like the patch or pills to help reduce the fluctuations in estradiol levels.

    Stay strong girl friend 💜

  • A remote for the Nvidia Shield TV WITHOUT that $@%$ Netflix Button on it??
  • While I don't have a remote recommendation for you, I have used the app Button Mapper for a few years now and I've liked it.

    I have remapped the Netflix button (opens Shield settings) and the circle button (opens FLauncher) and have never had an issue with the button presses doing something I didn't want. I'd recommend you give it a try until you find a remote that suits you better.
