Page: Feed: --- ## [Transgressing the boundaries](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/transgressing-the-boundaries/) _2026-08-16 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ I once greatly upset someone online by making a nerdy joke about a text editor. I didn't mean to; his reaction came as a surprise to me, which is why it stuck with me all this time. I should probably explain what a text editor is. A text editor is something like Microsoft Word, except it caters to the needs of the kind of people who need to edit large amounts of source code and configuration files… ## [Staring down the dragons](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/staring-down-the-dragons/) _2026-08-16 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ (alternative title: scaring away the new readers) Like a moth to a flame, I keep being drawn to sanma , three-player Japanese mahjong. I know that it's bad for me, but the temptation is that it's quick. A normal four-player game takes half an hour or longer; sanma can be over in five minutes, and sometimes much quicker than that. The downside is that it's insane. I don't know how it's logically… ## [Going viral](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/going-viral/) _2026-08-14 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ "I'm currently trending on Hacker News" is a sentence I never thought I would have occasion to use, but here I am, having my fifteen minutes of fame. It's a hot lazy afternoon here in Europe, and I was idly glancing at the Bear analytics. My recent little rant about the airport user experience had somehow made it onto the discover page, and I was getting more views than usual. Only a handful of… ## [Dear people who work at the airport](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/dear-people-who-work-at-the-airport/) _2026-08-12 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ I would like you to know that we passengers are trying our best. To you, this place makes sense -- you come here every day. You speak the lingo. You know what is meant by a gate and a concourse, and the difference between a ticket and a boarding pass. The poor elderly Indian woman who you just told to "keep the gate area clear" does not, and she wasn't trying to make your life more difficult. It's… ## [Death Note The Musical](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/death-note-the-musical/) _2026-08-11 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ We now return you to this blog's real topic: reviews of contemporary musical theatre. I have been to see Death Note The Musical at the Barbican . I had no idea what to expect. I wasn't sure if Death Note's ultra-dark, uncompromising high-stakes intellectual cat-and-mouse games set in a morally grey universe would really lend themselves to, you know, show tunes. Also, I had never seen a musical… ## [Glimpsing the phoenix](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/glimpsing-the-phoenix/) _2026-08-08 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ sanma, that way madness lies ## [It made sense in context](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/it-made-sense-in-context/) _2026-08-08 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ I've been playing around a bit with using large language models to proofread my blog posts. My conclusions so far are: They are very good at spotting grammatical errors. I don't make a lot of spelling mistakes and I use a state of the art spellchecker to catch the few that make it through. But when reading back my own prose I just read what I meant to write, and the little bits of debris that are… ## [Jealous](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/jealous/) _2026-08-07 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ I have on occasion been mildly critical of the moral choices of the richest man in the world. In response to this I have been told more than once that my opinions don't count, because I am "just jealous". To this accusation I can only say: yes. Guilty as charged. I am jealous of people who have so much money that the concept loses all meaning to them. Money doesn't solve everything, these people… ## [Going off the SSRI's](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/going-off-ssris/) _2026-08-05 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ Late last year I took the chance to taper off the SSRI's under medical supervision. I don't think there is any shame in needing antidepressants. They're medication: if you need them, you need them. But I also believe that one should strive to keep medication to a minimum, and I wanted to see if I could now do without. SSRI's have been good to me, but there were always one or two side effects that… ## [One Cloud, Every AI Layer (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/bOlAvprFF6vG) _2026-08-05 · **Sponsored**_ Run agents, inference, and infrastructure on one stack — economics improve as you scale. ## [My fat](https://life-after-ssri.bearblog.dev/fat/) _2026-08-03 · life-after-ssri · Life after SSRI_ Earlier this year, I had my body analysed in a DEXA scanner. This is basically a huge flatbed scanner that you lie down on. For a few minutes, a robot arm moves around you and inspects you from all sides, accompanied by appropriate whirring and beeping noises. At the end of the process, you are handed a PDF with a detailed breakdown of what your body consists of, i.e. fat, and everything else. In…
