Wellness Wednesday for March 29, 2023

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

I am interested in trying modafinil after reading Gwern's article. I am not able to obtain it illegally, so I am only left with getting a prescription.

Is there a suggested way to get a doctor to specifically prescribe me modafinil? It seems like going in and saying "I have X symptoms and want to be prescribed modafinil" is sketchy, while saying "I have X symptoms, can you prescribe me something" leaves it open to interpretation and possibly something other than modafinil. Are there online pharmacies I can visit?

(Apologies if I overlooked or misunderstood a rule.)

For illegal access, go here, click the "contact supplier" button, then tell the indian guy how much modafinil you'd like. You pay by sending money through Wise.

Aren’t you worried about opsec with this? Or do you think it don’t matter?

I don't think it matters as long as you don't buy really large quantities with the intention of selling them.

Good to know. I’ve been holding off on these purchases due to being too lazy to set up a VPN, learn hash encoding, tumble monero, set up Tails, etc. Maybe I’ll take the plunge.

Nerd-sniped: You don't need to tumble Monero, that's the whole point! Tumbling is built in.

Eh fine buying monero, same diff
