@EntheogenTruthSeeker I understand you because I'm going through similar struggles. Although I didn't take any psychedelics, my addiction was junk food. It ruined me. My gut will take weeks to heal. I feel very tired all the time. Because of which I couldn't exercise as I normally used to. The Covid got me depressed because before covid I used to go out and that used to make me so happy. But that was killed. Staying home, although I was working from home, but still, just the whole social isolation kinda started making me grumpy. And I'm such an emotional person that little things can make me feel grumpy for long periods. So overall the whole year of 2020 was pretty miserable. All my emotional issues were taking such a toll on me, (sorry if this appears like I'm whining about my life) Then I began to rely on coffee. I drank loads of coffee just to be able to work. The days I didnt drink coffee I felt very tired. I would try to get out of bed and simply slump into a chair or couch and wake up hours later. I started getting sleep deprivation I started eating junk food so eating too much so that it would put me to sleep.. All of these habits became addictive over time. I have made the new year resolution that I need to clean up my habits for good, I'm getting there, although I'm a bit slow in my progress.. I try to be positive no matter what. That's why I can relate to you. Thanks for hearing me out.. I feel like we can love each other and connect to each other because we are all part of the same universe, the same consciousness.. And the more we love and heal each other the more we get stronger in our collective consciousness on a united path to heal together, not alone. That's what I believe.

You're welcome

@Freakyboo you know from that attitude that they will never be capable of loving a woman.

@North Sea that's a lot of corruption.

When you want your OG thoughts to be validated by Miss Aya. Sigh.

@North Sea why is the government so bad? Is it corruption?

I'm raising my hand..

Don't fall into the trap of overworking, and don't do it just because you see others doing it.i completely empathize with your worldview but I don't think drugs are a good way to start a day, maybe take up some yoga practice, you might want to lay off the weed for a while, try to work around to get to sleep without drugs and that could be a game changer.

That looks excessive to me. Something must be really wrong with these people to act out in such ways..

This was so helpful modmyth, thank you for your contribution. Loved reading it. ❤️

The first reason is my journal which I update everyday so I have to come here anyway. While writing something in my journal or contemplating something over it, I tend to flip through the forum as well as a momentary distraction from what I'm doing and that's when I generally click on whichever thread that seems interesting. Some days I'll participate like a lot on the forum, it helps with loneliness or stress, like if I've something heavy on my head, I'll simply come to the forum and that way I forget whatever was bothering me. That helps a lot. Like 2 months ago, I was going through a breakup phase and coming to the forum for a whole week helped a lot to deal with it.. I also find it very meaningful and purposeful to help others. So when I help someone, it's not for egoic reasons, it's the just the feeling that I helped someone feels like there is an interconnectedness between me and the Universe, like I reached out to someone to help them I've made a few friends here, not many, but I do enjoy their company. Some threads are really good and I get to learn a lot whereas others can be very repetitive. Overall a good learning experience. I feel this forum enriches my social knowledge and skills. It's like a virtual environment, I feel like I'm in a classroom with people from different countries. I get to learn about cultural differences, how people think, how I need to talk and respond to them. I had bad communication skills, but the forum kinda improved that a lot.. Yea it also upgraded my social knowledge like people behavior, trends, general opinions. Sometimes I face negativity or see that the forum is too boring or something that I don't like, I tend to take a break and come back after a few days or weeks and only tend to my journal during the time. Often times I felt like leaving the forum when I came across too many argumentative people or personal attacks.. So overall I'd say it's a love hate kinda relationship. I forgot to add social media. I hate social media because it's mostly people acting fake and silly, I never go there, I have deactivated accounts long ago.

@soos_mite_ah what kind of symptoms did you experience?

Thumbs-up

@DocWatts just saw this. Thank you.

Lol. I've heard people saying "I'll cut my nose." You took it to another level.

I remember one time you being very supportive of it.

I sense a disability or a mental disorder and I'm not sure if it would be easily diagnosed. Meanwhile I've a suggestion for the issue. You could use picture associations for whatever you are reading. The moment you are reading a passage, visualize the whole passage and the sequence of events described in the passage in your mind. Make strong associations in these visualizations. Add strong powerful colors. That way you'll be able to remember and recollect much better.

Omg you couldn't sign in to the forum? I couldn't sign in either. I thought these guys did something weird to me. I was thinking I was the only one who couldn't sign in.

Omg I laughed so hard at that.

@Keyhole hey I did the key thing and when I meditated, I saw 2 words on a piece of paper on the table.. The words were, "Divine Understanding." I think that's a big sign

@Michael569 to be very honest, I had Brita for a few months, like maybe 2 months, and it wasn't good at all. Sometimes I felt like it didn't filter at all..

That's so sad.

@tsuki gross. I'm just a nerd.

@Karmadhi the thumbnail image is enough to put me off. You have a woman literally holding a man's leg, like wtf dude? Your values really have to be on another level of cringe for you to even assume this to be normal. Aint clicking on that kinda toxic stuff..

If you can't handle someone having an opinion then you shouldn't have a problem if they can't handle your jokes either.
