Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers

Those are the most common symptoms

Depends on your diet

I think it might. I did a 40 hour water fast and it cured my brain fog and anger issues. Some studies, like this one, also seem to indicate this: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2021.708069/full

Does eating food made it feel better, if even temporarily? What about music? Are you often in very stressful situations? I have had experiences of anxiety/depression that lingers after extremely stressful experiences, wondering if it's related. I think it could be related to cortisol, eating a simple carb like bread made it dissipate for me.

I have some concerns around EMFs from phones and such things, seems like not much conclusive research is done there Herbicides like glyphosates are a big one, and also organic food that is sprayed with organic pesticides Also, you gotta be careful with topical products like shampoo or lotion. There can be some sketchy stuff in there, like silicones and what not. You should properly research whatever is in the ingredients.

Here is an interesting way to think of it: Peace can also be seen as attachment to the present moment. If you are attached to only the present moment, then no feeling of loss can occur, since the present moment is eternal. In this sense, attachment is somewhat illusory, since you can't really escape the present moment, so what exactly are you feeling attached to, if not the present moment? It is the thoughts in your mind, which are of another moment that is not in the present. You are attached to thoughts of some other non-existent moment, which maybe contains elements that the current moment doesn't. A lot of these negative emotions that stem from the ego use this trick. It will imagine some thought that isn't in alignment with the present moment, and then believe in it, and then that will cause discord and suffering, because the thought itself is not true and does not fit in with reality.

That seems very likely to be prostate related. The spontaneous arousal is probably the prostate getting stimulated.

I don't mind it. It's more of just a sensation than taste, and also I only notice the cold feeling if I eat it raw without putting it in anything so it ends up not really mattering, probably because the drink itself is hot.

Yeah I don't like the aftertaste either. I think you'll like the sugar alcohols I mentioned, you can find formulas where they already mixed the two together which are pretty good. There's basically no aftertaste especially with erythritol, and you might even like it more than sugar, it has an interesting feel to it. https://www.amazon.ca/Krisda-Fruit-Spoonable-Natural-Sweetener/dp/B07PGCBWZS/ref=sr_1_2?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzfuNBhCGARIsAD1nu-9sMY98Xj8t18zFMXilS8c_Qh4EkYKFf05tpcKITN0GClusVPNETB4aAiOLEALw_wcB&hvadid=325279736058&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9060756&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=10889896968636293764&hvtargid=kwd-611173042770&hydadcr=12394_10657180&keywords=krisda+monk+fruit+sweetener&qid=1639980153&sr=8-2 This is the one I use, its a blend of erythritol and monk fruit and as you can see on the back it says that the sweetness is of equal proportion to actual sugar, which is pretty accurate IME. You can probably find something similar in the organic/natural section of your supermarket or something.

My 40 hour fast cured my brain fog and anger issues. Might have done something.

Do you have a problem with sugar alcohols? You can easily cut out refined sugar by switching to monk fruit/erythritol or some blend of the two, that's my favorite at least. It's very similar to actual sugar.

True, that's very insightful, thanks

Well, OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not about doing things to make people hate you more, but its more like a shift in mindset. You go from "how can I get this person to like me" to "lets see how much this person ends up hating me". So now, instead of manipulating people by hiding your personal beliefs and values so that they like you, you don't care about that more, and instead you're trying to see how much hate being authentic gets you. It might seem extreme, but tbh I think an extreme shift is needed because social anxiety is an extreme thing. I've never even tried it yet so we'll see. It's a similar concept to getting yourself purposefully rejected in order to get over your fear of it, but in this case it's purposefully not pandering to what other people like for the sake of them liking you. This is interesting, I never thought about how parents could affect social life like that, but it definitely checks out in my case. My parents are definitely like that.

Interesting, i'll try it lol

Only thing I know for sure is no-fap. The increase stops at about day 10 IME. Exercise is also a decent boost. These are good. If you are too stressed or malnourished it will kill your libido.

If you fight it, then that is part of God's will, isn't it?

I have seen the future inside of dreams as well

You can enter some very weird states of consciousness through sleep. I think depending on how you adjust your sleep schedule you can tune into some radically different realms or states of consciousness. Maybe shitty sleep schedules are the gateway to some dimension of demonic entities, which is what we would call sleep paralysis. If I remember correctly, it is also recommended that you adjust your sleep schedule if you want to enter astral projection as well. I also have a theory that the astral realm and the sleep paralysis realm are connected if not the same. I remember reading an account of someone who entered an astral projection and then saw their own physical body on their bed and then entered into it, and once they entered back into their own body they were in sleep paralysis. Maybe sleep paralysis is just a version of astral projection where you're still stuck in your body.

I was able to enter sleep paralysis with like an 80% success rate if I made sure to make my sleep schedule a certain way. If you have a really awkward or bad sleep schedule you will probably get it, otherwise it's not really a problem. It seems to only ever occur if you are stressed or have a shitty sleep schedule, so in general I get the feeling it is not something positive.

I've had it happen a few times before. The time will change way too fast. I'll wait about 10 seconds and it will already be 5 minutes after. Haven't figured out what it means but it's pretty cool I guess.

been like 2 weeks now

Have you experienced being unconscious? How is such a thing experienced?

Something that helped me a lot is realizing deeply that a lot of your social worries are just projections. It's something you are literally imagining right now, you are imagining that other people are currently perceiving you a certain way, as if that way of perception is something set in stone. For example, someone could say something you perceive as weird, but then everyone else who perceived that didn't think it was weird at all and actually thought it was an appropriate thing to say. You are actually just projecting your own social fears onto what someone else said, and then doing that to yourself as well. This was true in my case at least, whenever someone else said something that I personally believed to be socially inept, I would be surprised to see that no one else really seemed to perceive it that way. I'm sure the same is true for you. This is a pretty deep problem, because you are actually imagining yourself taking someone else's perspective, and then also at the same time convincing yourself that they are thinking badly of you. You are basically taking responsibility for other people's projections of you. That's their problem, not yours. Next time you send a text or something that causes you anxiety, just realize that the reason you're feeling fear is because you've projected something onto what you've said that doesn't really match reality. There is no fear or anxiety outside the realm of thoughts and projections. So just make sure to notice that and detach yourself from the fantasies of your mind.

Nice
