I think in your case it could be a matter of just waiting it out due to the past addiction to alcohol, and things will eventually return to normal. Also if you have other addictive habits, like internet for example, overindulgence in pleasures those could also wreck your dopamine system, so finding a balance there is good , doesn’t have to quit it all entirely. The antipsychotic could def contribute , I’m on one too. I’m also on antidepressant but I can’t really tell what it’s doing, it’s not counteracting the anhedonia at least from my experience

Same

What’s the reason when you do buy cigarettes? Is it the taste, the feeling what is it? I’ve been craving vaping sometimes it’s satisfying to blow and it’s a nice little feeling

That is what I was thinking too. Because for example I like to eat salads where all the ingredients are mixed and I find it hard to believe it would be able to distinguish properly what it contains. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try when I feel the need to count calories.

If the self isn’t real then all these wacky states like depersonalization make sense because something that ain’t real won’t always be stable and seem super real. The normal human state is an active hallucination. Depersonalization is a different kind of hallucination. There’s many layers to the self/mind. And when one breaks apart it can feel scary. But it’s just that hallucination crumbling.

Thanks that is smart yea. You have to be smart in how you create those categories

I’m 69 now I’d like to get down to like 63 or even 60 Ok good

I have one. Yea I’m considering it once I find it useful to know more exactly the calories.

That’s smart I have never thought or heard of that. That would kinda be like using my fitness pal right, you’d have to weigh the food or tell them the quantity in another way like for example 2 eggs or 50 grams cheese

What a stereotype

I might wanna try that sometime. I guess for now when I’m trying to loose weight I’ll just eat smaller portions without needing to count, but then when I reach goal weight I might count to know how much I’m gonna eat to maintain That’s rough As long as it’s not too far off I’m pleased with the app but how would I know I don’t need to lose weight for health but I wanna be skinnier😹

Lol

lol😂

I would like to get a rough estimate That’s true. Weighing the food/counting the quantities and logging it is the ideal way of counting calories. I did do that a short while but then stopped because it was so much work kinda. But I might utilize it again

Yes . I guess the ultimate test of the app would be to do classical calorie counting by weighing and logging into something like my fitness pal, then comparing the results

I’m the same. I rather just eat less in quantity to lose weight than eat only low calorie food. For example I really like Olive oil, Parmesan cheese etc

Those apps is when you weigh the food and log it am I right? So they will ofc be more accurate. But that takes more work. I did try myfitnesspal one time but then stopped using it. It’s the ideal way of counting calories though. Cal ai is a very simple alternative. And I don’t need super accuracy becuase losing weight will happen as long as you just eat less in general and that’s simple

Eating low calorie food is one way to be in a deficit yes. I prefer though to eat any food (healthy) but just in smaller quantities I have recently wanted to cut back on sugary stuff even more. For example by trying some healthy dessert recipes that uses things like maple syrup for example, but I don’t know how that compares to sugar when it comes to health, maybe it’s almost the same. And maybe a homemade sweet dessert isn’t so bad after all, the store bought is atleast worse. Fruit smoothie sounds tasty, some time I will try No problem I’m glad it peaked your interest

Calories matter if you’re trying to lose weight which I’m trying to currently. But I still eat healthy (except dessert on weekends). So nutritional value and health matters too of course. Calorie counting is not necessary it only matters that you eat less compared to what you usually eat at maintenance (if you’re trying to lose weight). But it can be nice to know the approximate calories sometimes when it’s harder to eyeball how much you should eat to lose or maintain the weight. The app is called “cal ai” on AppStore, the slogan is of a white apple with black background. https://www.calai.app/

Haha

The best thing I have done for my health is reduce stress honestly . Skin improved, bloating improved etc

No problem. First step is that recognition you’re on the right path

Separate feelings from your logic. First step is to become aware of emotionally biased thinking and see it for what it is. Be more interested in the truth of the matter, truth in general to “shield” against this tendency. Be interested in your own reactions and understanding of yourself so you can have a neutral observational view of your own mind/emotions and be open to them and see them for what they are.

So he has brain damage that makes him act slow or something so it’s frustrating to deal with him? I understand you might not wanna show you’re angry because it can come off as disrespectful. The only thing I can come up with is you could maybe express your frustration some time in a calm respectful manner, like sharing your problem. Or take some deep breaths and remove yourself from him from a little while when anger comes up

It’s because you don’t know how to deal with it yourself #burn #micdrop
