Before i pop a Xanax and get ready for Christmas Eve with my family, here’s a gentle PSA:
There is no wrong way to Mastodon. This isn’t the Blue Bird of Hostility app. Being kind to new users helps further the community. Starting out with telling people what they should and shouldn’t do is tacky and rude. Welcome people into the fold. Help them out. Be kind-we’ve all started over at one point or another.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

@SunshineGoddess hi Jenn, Xanax has a long half-life. Taking it 2 x a week will lead to tolerance and possibly dependence.
@ChuffMeister hi. I don’t recall asking for an insufferable opinion from someone who doesn’t understand a joke. And furthermore, it’s medically prescribed to me for anxiety. Maybe you should learn to shut up and scroll by before being a know it all. Have the day you deserve.
@SunshineGoddess I’m sorry if I offended you. There was no judgment in my statement. I’ve been working with substance users for 25 years & as a user am very aware of the stigma and discrimination we are assaulted with.
Benzodiazepines are insidious. Xanax is 15x stronger than diazepam and 2 x weekly use can build dependency.
While they are great at masking the SYMPTOMS of Anxiety they do not address the causes and deplete natural protection.
