Serotonin ~ emotions

I wonder which part of brain creates emotions, suspicions that sinus med blocks this, causes alexthymia.
 
Other than highly addictive, it changes morals between what's right/wrong too.
Are addicts sad and looking to shut out feelings of hurt, is this what addiction is.

What had they discovered and how did it become drug of choice by bikers
 
When you get in a fight, does heart rate go up? How do the senses tie up with emotions and why do some of us have such intensity we could literally have heart attack?
 
During lockdown I also had rapid heart rate so virus attacks weak, it's as with lot about us....
Positive and negative
And acknowledging both allows us to really discover ourselves
 
There is over the counter drug that supposed to fix hearing after antibiotics but it get you very high, doesn't work.
Probably need to go back to doctor for histamine.

Despite this drug not working, still sell it and ear drops, don't work!! Maybe didn't work for me?

Just leave this idea out there, valid to woke culture, insane.
 
I do not take any medicines and I am severely alexthymic. Have been all my life. I think it is just a brain trait, not a flaw, similar to aphantasia. Although alexthymia can be developed through trauma.

I don't take medical advice from YouTube videos.

All those "bad" foods are perfectly okay for a healthy person if consumed in moderation. Don't pig out on them. If you are worried about glyphosate, stick to "organic" food. Organic foods do not have any pesticides applied at all.

Keep your blood pressure low, don't be obese, don't be diabetic and - unless you are genetically prone or take physical damage - you've eliminated the causes of 99% of all chronic kidney disease. Otherwise, see a doctor and fix those things as best you can.

Its ideas for those who use catheter or late potty training, searching for answers. If you fine, then no worries

There are lot of factors with autism. I feel very lonely, I don't fit in. I never ask too many questions as don't like to make other people edgy, but I know that if one looses hearing they still speak but if you born as such then formation of sounds is difficult. First speech therapist was fired as my son spoke strange, I suppose other than body language I just wasn't coping. It's the loneliness that leaves me drifting into other worlds.
I suffer with (can't find word now) but it's when you need to lay down due to being overwhelmed. Blanking out embarassing moments a lot, that part of PTSD
I never liked public restrooms, had lot problems lead to dropping out, quitting swimming team and not changing with other girls. I love the movie: the piano.

When first started life I was still ambitious, coping, but time and constant social issues have eventually worn me down, it's first time I asked my boy to make me coffee as I usually jump up and do everything.
I'm trying to go off grid, and am going to do it, start small organic farm but it's not profitable or adjust prices. So when you said work was causing stress, I understand and it's worse too loose job. Having kids we try home projects but these don't pay bills, so begin to realise I dealt with it for years, trying find relaxed environ for boys to have something to fall back on, may just decide they want to travel/office work.

I'm falling apart, and no I can't sue big pharma or food industry, not having work destroys lives, it's taking toll. Now my son was helping wire the fence and got bored nailing, I flipped out and gave him lecture that experience is when you do it in your sleep, point is once good that's why you have job. It's stressing me out, I'm teaching him what I know about life but I'm really not happy with prospect of him not working.

I've learnt that no one cares, it's not really governments problem, life goes on without me. I think I've gained best understanding as I can about asd problems on this site, I'm thinking it's time to do soul searching, go off the grid, that whilst this forum helps it also sparks further issues. I am damaged, and I was bullied so badly I don't think I can really recover or connect with people. It's exacerbated PTSD on top of autism so very rare for me to engage with member, more sort of relating to ideas, that's how badly detached I am from friendship.

Just one tiny problem here, I remember what organic veg looked like, and not even Woolworths at that price stocks real organic.
Tomatoes - fried green version explains red colours are not real, perfect shape doesn't exist in nature.
Built in pesticides, like nut guru this is big problem.

Free choice exists less and less
 
If we feed red dyes and sweets to children at least we know, but regarding rights to label GMO and hydroponics, free range, organic, no-anti-biotics (haven't heard that one)
My baking powder contains MSG as do most items, and glutton so spices and everything had to get thrown out.

So where do we get real food, real veggies and how do make health choice cause even on carnivore diet, there's still contamination

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're taking about pseudoephedrine (sinus meds).
While it can be abused, it's uncommon as a rule. I think the association you may have with biker gangs is that pseudoephedrine is extremely easy to synthesise methyl amphetamine (crystal meth, in the vernacular) from, and was a popular source of illicit drugs for them to trade in.

I'm not aware of amphetamine having any links with alexithymia, but as pointed out, there's more than one kind of alexithymia, congenital, and male-normative. There has been found a small but significant link between psychoactive drug use and alexithymia, but that doesn't prove any causative connection - it could be alexithymic people tend toward drug use rather than drugs causing alexithymia.

Like many stimulants and especially amphetamine's they can cause psychosis and other mental problems. As for changing right from wrong, I think that's a little more contentious as to how that can play out (or not). The bike gangs famous for doing this, were probably not the most morally upstanding citizens even before the meth.

It's rare that a drug will cause people to behave in a specific way like that, it may exacerbate pre-existing tendencies, it may bring about a range of changes as much due to social conditioning and legal frameworks and their impact on drug users. But I don't think there's any valid research to show a particular drug's pharmacological action can cause a change of moral standards in itself. A heroin addict may steal to buy more heroin, but that's due to it's unavailability, not heroin changing some part of their mind - it's just presenting them with an intolerable choice, which is much the essence of many addictions.

To suppose peoples morals are otherwise fixed and unchanging isn't a realistic picture I suspect. Peoples morals and behaviors can change for all sorts of reasons.

My adult ADHD drugs felt like a lifeline. Then came the scary side-effects …
