Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

They're going ok. I recently got back from this treatment center in Pennsylvania and I've been doing ok. Some days, I still want to ctb, but other times, I don't so there's a little improvement. Right now, I kinda feel like ctb only because I feel hopeless about my bad short term memory, processing issues and articulation issues.
Glad to know you're feeling better. If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with your short-term memory?
I just can't remember conversations and things discussed in therapy
Maybe there wasn't anything worth remembering? I can barely remember some months of my life recently because of how gray it is. Also, being on meds can do really wacky things with normal brain functions.
I thought it was my meds at first, but being off them for a week and my short term memory was still bad. The stuff I want to remember is important, but I just can't remember it
It might still not be enough - e.g. it took me about a month of SSRIs until I stopped feeling like shit, and my sex drive only returned in 3 months being off them. We don't really have studies for long term effects of most psychoactive meds except that they usually aren't good.
I try to write down stuff on my phone which helps me quite a bit. When I was at the program in Pennsylvania, I tried reading what I wrote to the nurse practitioner there, but she discouraged it because she said it was making me remember stuff I didn't want to remember
I agree, but hey we made it to 16k posts (sorry for not being here, I was in the hospital for 7 days)
You don't have anything to be sorry about! I hope you're doing okay
Doing a little better. Still have my moments though when I want to ctb.You don't have anything to be sorry about! I hope you're doing okay
Fuck yea I do! I was and am still here!
It's sad it couldn't have died on December 31, 2020Everything, including the kitchen sink, must die in the end.
Morphine... wow I'm humbled by your presence...Everything, including the kitchen sink, must die in the end.
Someone told me that it could go tell 2029 technically. Maybe I go with that.
We're your home, we never left. I can get you into contact with anyone.
That'd be cool to go til then
Hey :)
Some of us are still around. I think chat threads aren't as popular as they used to be in general. Even the SS Lounge is pretty slow going now.
Yeah I remember when they were active and we'd create 100+ posts a day
Yeah that was great. Now just about everyone here ctb or moved on
