  1. 👍🏻
  2. That’s why I included in my reply that sometimes the best thing to do is to not try at all because trying to overcome emotions can sometimes cause unnecessary turmoil. I did this myself in the past when dealing with social anxiety.
  3. Yea I got that I wonder if risperidone will do the same Another woman at the psych ward had the same combo of meds. I have some suicidal thoughts but I don’t feel it’s because of the meds Yea olanzipine has calming effect so I’m guessing risperidone has the same Thanks for sharing that link. Didn’t know it had a name This autumn I will study nutrition which includes cell biology chemistry etc so maybe I’ll understand you better then
  4. Brain atrophy lmao The only side effect I notice for now is larger breast lol. I dont even know what the prozac is doing . I dont notice much difference on it, but the olanzipine has a kind of dampening effect on the inner life and calming effect
  5. It can make you overly aware of the feelings making them seem greater but I found it key in overcoming the sticky feelings and identifications and stories associated with them. Sometimes we need methods more than “just be” when we’re so entangled in something “just be” can seem like it just leaves us at the same spot not doing anything.
  6. I found for myself with social anxiety that its about more than only exposure. You have to be very mindful while you do it, incredibly present with the fear to dissolve it. Basically great self awareness. Notice all the subtle ways you try to avoid facing the fear, such as looking away, being fake in how you talk, tensing up in the body, talking just to talk, basically all your avoidance mechanisms and go against them, by for example forcing yourself to talk when you feel held back, you can even be a bit fake to gain some momentum, holding eye contact even if it feels uncomfortable, relaxing your body, breathing deeper and focusing on breath, actively focusing on the other person. Basically learn all the ways your fear expresses itself in your behavior and actively, mindfully go against it in the moment of it. Sometimes counterintuively though making effort might not be the best thing (depends on the moment) because it can cause additional psychological strain that just adds more overthinking to it all, so there can be times when its more appropriate to not try at all, but just doing what comes naturally (even if its being more quiet) and still observing the fear to help it dissolve, and hopefully you can find that natural flow. Also this is a bit odd but it requires a bit of self dissolution to completely transcend some psychological fears, because youre dealing with a negative idenfication that needs to be dissolved for the fear tied to it to dissolve. To do this requires self attention which is synonymous with self awareness. In my experience
  7. One thing I could suggest is to become genuinely interested in your own reactions (it’s a part of being interested in your own nature overall) So whenever a negative reaction or prejudice arises you have a genuine interest in its nature, and can observe it from a neutral view and analyze it, how it came about, what it is etc. You allow it to arise if it does without suppressing anything. This way you’ll be potentially breaking it down. Understanding that you are a human being and it’s natural to fall for prejudice sometimes, having some compassion for yourself about it, but it can be worked on and dissolved for good. It’s important to be interested in the actual truth of the matter, so that it overrides emotional biased thinking.
  8. That’s epic
  9. Sometimes we engage thoughts because we feel they’re useful somehow in some twisted way, like you feel you gain some weird sense of control over the situation by keeping notice of how others are doing in relation to you and comparing. You have to really see the uselessness of such thoughts and be too concerned with your own shit (working on yourself etc) to waste mental energy comparing yourself
  10. I can hear it Yea I swear I will read Why
  11. lol what a petty detail haha
  12. Exactly No but thanks
  13. Zero anger issues. I don’t have any emotions.
  14. Yes true
  15. The normal thing is to have a lot of thoughts. Even neurotic. Yea I don’t think it’s spiritual or paranormal either. I am on meds but they don’t help except for make me a little calmer. I wasn’t struggling to write to you in pm for some reason. I have been evaluated for autism and I don’t have it
  16. I eat twice a day regardless of trying to lose weight or not. It keeps me at maintenance but to loose weight I need to also implement portion control etc
  17. That sounds good. Basically so I’m not the only one that can take time
  18. 63: I’m at a normal weight. I find it easy to maintain. Just eat healthy, two meals a day. But…..in order to get SKINTY. That’s not enough. You gotta take other measures. Like you gotta watch portion sizes, that I’m getting better at. Today I ate a salad and accidentally made a little too big portion but that’s fine I’m learning. You gotta watch out for certain calorie dense “healthy” foods like olive oil, nuts because they can easily add a lot of calories (I still include it because it’s delicious especially olive oil in dressings etc). So basically being normal weight is one thing, but being skinnnnty is another level. So this is gonna be a journey.
  19. I can hear this in your accent You have created your own style out of it I was thinking of no self self too. Keryo I don’t even know if he understands what he writes himself. Leo is not lazy I feel he could come up with a deep response any time easily but actively keeps it short and writes only what’s necessary Can you resist 😳 That’s so cool I want too I will keep posting my stupid random thoughts Haha
  20. Ok. The reason I asked was if they had noticed any particular differences between the genders (if they had switched)
  21. That’s cool you’ve been able to make observations from it. Sometimes we underestimate the role biology plays in psychology Maybe this is a sensitive question you don’t have to answer this but are you switching genders is that what the hrt is for?
  22. 62: I can’t get over the fact that in The Weeknd’s song timeless he literally sings “if I was you, I’d cut up my wrist” that is such a crazy lyrics to have
  23. What has it helped you see?
