RE: PMAS Precious Metal Acquisition Syndrome (Stackitis) : An unofficial Preliminary Clinical Report
Thank you for your excellent write-up.
'On individual cases it is simply to acquire in small regular quantities like a dime at a time'
However, one does not simply acquire silver a dime at a time. Especially when you have Agoraphobia and OCD, such as I to complicate my affliction (and the LCS is not a reliable option), so, online silver shopping is my only relief...
Everything requires planning and strategy on obtaining an amount of AG47 that will satisfy my Stackitis for a prolonged duration of time, and a 'minimum total' for orders must be met to avoid excessive shipping charges and expenses. Also, the 'Order In Process', anxiety is a symptom that must be dealt with by addition means.
Soon, I fear, the progression of my affliction will escallate, and my only solution will be to start obtaining the equipment and gear that is necessary to melt and remelt the Silver myself, and pour this into different shapes and forms until I am satisfied and calm again, while waiting for my new silver to arrive in the mail.
I see. Stacking treatment is more difficult without a good LCS dispensary available. I have a few places where I can pick up a single coin for a quick fix. And despite that you have done well adapting your Stackitis to accommodate around other issues in order to function with this advanced state of Stackitis. Your Agoraphobia is understandable but I'm curious how manage to avoid panic attacks from wild swings in silver spot prices, as I could pass on your technique to other sufferers with similar complex conditions. Regardless, you are an individual that into details with a high level of expectation on performance and results. A similar individual in case 11345, planning your orders and lead times to coincide with your acute phases can be difficult but the reward should be satisfying when it does come. Yes the wait and anticipation can be debilitating especially If you don’t have package tracking. Pouring may be a good option to deal with continuous maladaptation, I believe it to be analogous to a continuous drip medication. I can recommend you to Metals Mafia specialists for setup support. Other than that, my office door will always be open.
Thank you for such a concise, yet thorough reply.
For someone that has dealt with this affliction for so long, Agoraphobia, I have adjusted my living situations to accommodate my withdraw from outdoor society fairly well, I would like to think.
The Stackitis, on the other hand, I have only acquired just this past January, and I am still getting used to the symptoms. My biggest problem, as discussed previously, is the difficulty of obtaining medication in a timely manner. However, that is getting a little better, as I am now a repeat customer of a few online silver pharmacies like BOLD PM, And JM Bullion; and the turnaround time on my orders is now down to about 48 hours. Still, that's two days of waiting!
I find that Meditation is key for stress management.
I don't worry about silver prices too much, if the price goes down, I try to buy more, if the price is up, I'm happy as my 'stack' has gained in value, but, I may buy a little less. I see my Stackitis as mostly the AG47-accumulative disorder and chronic type, and manageable, (As opposed to those that are in danger of losing their stack to the more acute degenerative verity).
Thanks for the admirable referral, though, I am already familiar with Metals Mafia; for example, another coping mechanism I have is that I sleep with this 5oz little brick under my pillow for reassurance every night.
I have found that the proximity to silver is key for Stackitis management.
I will definitely consult with someone if my Stackitis does progress further, as I imagine it would, to where I need a daily fix of some sort. 'Pouring' just might be incredibly therapeutic for me.
Again, Thank you.
Thank you, I will add your experience into our knowledge base knowing that it will greatly benefit someone else in a similar experience, because the loss of a new Stacker as a loss to all of us.
