Quantum Mechanics contains a theory that electrons are paired. This theory is called Quantum Entanglement which Einstein called ‘Spooky Action at A Distance’. What has been observed many times is that if you take a set of paired electrons and separate them, distance theoretically does not matter so it could be across a table, across a room, or across the universe. It really does not matter. Once you separate them and move one electron a set distance and direction the other paired electron will do the same without ever touching it, regardless of the distance. So, those electrons are connected in a way we have no way of understanding. This experiment has been done many times and is repeatable every time. So, since we are all partially composed of electrons then we all share halves of numerous electron pairs. As a result, this means we are all connected in a very fundamental way we just cannot see or understand regardless of location, race, religion, orientation, or whatever other metric you try to use to separate us into groups and stay apart. There is no such thing as an individual. We are all the same thing whether we like it or not or want to admit it or not. So, even though we all physically die, it does not matter either because those electrons do not go away, they just become part of something else and if you have half of that electron pair you are connected directly to whatever that other electron became a part of. It is one giant interconnected web. So remember this each time you have someone come into your life. You may very well be sharing electrons and it was those paired electrons that pulled you together because they operate together at a very fundamental level. Because of this connection you can go on to say that: a. To be angry at others is to be angry at yourself. b. To hate others is to hate yourself. c. To love others is to love yourself. e. To help others is to help yourself All because we are all the same thing.

Hello, everyone… It has been, certainly, a difficult few months. The first time I entered this page was two months after stopping clonazepam and vortioxetine, because despite the fact that the decrease was gradual, the most severe symptoms appeared three weeks after I stopped consuming them. From then until now it has been a battle, to which I do not see the end, this is what has led me to start interacting on this channel - and not just consult it - because today, more than others, I question my reasons for stopping take drugs, it would seem that this is not going to end. Until now, I have tried to understand my body, all the symptoms are adjustments to return to its balance ("without help")... but I can't stop wondering if it was the best decision to have stopped taking the drugs. Without a doubt there are new things like the fact of experiencing life in a different way, I feel more "human" (which makes perfect sense because now I feel more than ever) the sensitivity that I have developed to get involved with everything, to all that isis around me, every expression of life, valuing all the abundance that I have and alway I has around me, the way I relate now, the way I perceive today, what I heard, what I see, feel...Im so grateful, but… At first my motivation was simple, stop being medicated, point.., stop consuming pils (I have to say that today I use more than ever because of the supplements LOL), later this motivation began to have a more altruistic and deeper meaning, however Although the motivation is still there, I don't stop doubting, Im tired! I would love to be able to read what has been your motivation to star with the withdrawal/tapering and what makes you stay there, even when the symptoms could sometimes exceed us. I hope someone dares to tell me because I know that will help me continue on the road, and maybe to someone else I also have a big question, what has worked for you for muscle tension and stiffness, this is what has made me fill tired as well as digestive problems, because the intestine is very tense and therefore I do not have a good digestion. Anything, anything you could share with me I will be very grateful, receive a big hug mirna

I’m starting this topic because as a polytheist, I don’t usually get to see any spiritual posts that speak to me. In fact, just looking around one could be forgiven for thinking that only Christians use spirituality to help them through difficult times. We Pagans are often quiet about our faith because we sometimes, even in these enlightened times, face harassment or persecution. For years, what I thought was depression, combined with my struggles with antidepressants, were such major factors in my life and who I was. During all this time, however, my spirituality was also one of the biggest things that makes me who I am. After my wife and kids, my spirituality and my relationship with the Gods are the most important things in my life. So why keep that to myself? Even on the Surviving Antidepressants board, you all know me primarily as someone who is struggling to overcome withdrawal from antidepressants when that is not nearly the biggest part of who I am. I'm not defined by my relationship with these medications. I am a husband and a father and a blessed child of the Gods. I’m not here to argue with anyone or convert anyone; I’m just here to let other Pagans know that they are not alone, and to share with anyone else who’s interested the fact that we Pagans also find healing in our wide range of spiritual paths and practices. I likely won't be sharing any quotes from any religious scriptures because most forms of Paganism aren't really based on revealed texts. But that doesn't mean that I don't have any inspirational quotes. Here I'll share with you one of my favorites. It's an excerpt from a larger piece by D.H. Lawrence. I don't believe that Lawrence would have considered himself Pagan, but I find that this portion of his work speaks to me both as a Pagan and as someone working on healing:
