Ye man that's real. I think of it sometimes being like a future generation condemning previous generations as completely sick and twisted for eating any meat at all. For us it might be something we understand as worthy of debate but would seem generally pretty rare for someone to think a meat eater was absolutely sick and twisted for doing it. Dealing with aging is one of the key motivators i have for pursuing consciousness work. I imagine aging is pretty tough for the average person.

@Leo Gura Wishing you well dude

I think yellow folk who have unintegrated green and haven't got to turquoise will often suffer a lot. You understand things happen systemically, and every time you come across some heinous shit in the world you realise it couldn't have been any other way. Yet at the same time you don't have an effective way of processing your emotions, and you don't have the mechanisms of denial that tier 1 stages have at their automatic disposal.

Get a mentor

That sounds more tier 1 to me. I would think tier 2 would understand the hell out of the mob and see that everyone was acting out of some understandable cause, and that it couldn't be any other way.

Would appreciate suggestions. Thanks in advance.

@Michael569 ye I always feel this video puts the respective contributions of different countries in WW2 into perspective

I think it could be. I think it won't necessarily cure ADD, if you do indeed actually have ADD (sometimes I think its a misdiagnosis). However, I think it could be an effective way of dealing with some aspects of the trauma that I think many with ADD experience in their lives, i.e. due to having their neurodivergence mistaken for character defects such as laziness. That said, I think it would be worth taking the time to try to understand whether you are currently in the right place to be able to get results from psychedelics.

The world is as the world is

@Vrubel You field reporting broski?

@Illusory Self Personally, I think getting started with DBT therapy (i.e. get a workbook on it) and watching videos by someone like Patrick teahan could be a great start. Later down the road I think something like IFS could be great. I think its important to do some sort of depth psychotherapy at some point, to really get at the root of the issue, and IFS is an example of this. Imo, tho I'd recommend experimenting with a few of the different types of therapies, i.e. emdr, polyvagal, gestalt, humanistic, etc, and seeing what you find gets you the results that you want. It might be that IFS isn't a good fit for you, and maybe gestalt therapy is, or psychodynamic therapy is.

Sounds to me like you might just be at stage green, and also are projecting your emotions a lot

@ThePoint Also I note how you said you don't ever feel satiated no matter how much you eat. Have you ever heard of 'abandonment melange'. There's a psychotherapist called Pete Walker who termed it. Its a feeling that is common among child abuse survivors, and often is thought by said survivors to be a feeling of hunger. It apparently feels v similar to hunger but is actually, to my understanding, a feeling of deep abandonment. Are you certain that its gut health that is the cause of your issues?

Ah I understand bro. So, to my mind, you can approach the issue by trying to : 1) Reduce the intensity you feel off, 2) Reduce the frequency you feel off, or 3) change the way you act when you feel off. You could give these resources a go, I think they might help all three, and also are, to my mind, quite easy to use. https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/uz2225

Shout out to my homies who don't even know how to post GIFs

@ThePoint I'd recommend experimenting strategically. I.e. what happened on day 7 just before you relapsed. What do you think the trigger was? What could you do in future that might help you? Imo, its all data.

@Soulbass What did you find different about it personally?

I'd recommend being wary of advice from neurotypical folk on adhd things. I'm sometimes astounded by the arrogance. Re when to take the drugs, I'd say experiment around with it, and see what you like. Maybe get an ADHD coach to help you.

@asifarahim I'd probably go on your own search for a new forum. If you don't like the perspectives here, then I don't think it would be useful to follow a perspective here on where else to go. I think it will still be biased towards the views associated with actualized.org.

Toastmasters

@Turtlelover577 Maybe you could do with learning how to learn, i.e. concepts like habits building and deliberate practice. Also, maybe you have unconscious barriers to doing what you intuitively desire.

AI depth psychotherapy

I don't think you could. @Girzo Chill out with the language

Great stuff dude!
