A horse doesn't have to be worried about being happy if it ceases to think. Though it'll also cease to be.

You see, this relies on the concept of "I think, therefore I am," but if I led with that, I'd be putting Descartes before the horse.

Stop having thoughts

The way I see it, you have two options: liquor, or Warhammer 40K lore.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What is this, Warhammer 40k, you speak of? Liquor is not an option.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I mean this isn't far from the truth

You know when in movies and shows they add some sort of short scene of what could've happened if such or such thing happened. I have hyperphantasia and it's like that for me but instead of being useful am in constant panic because my brain project in my eyes the worst case scenario of any slightly dangerous situation like it's really happening. It sucks.

I do that, but I assumed it was more anxiety. It used to take roughly an hour to fall asleep, but that’s cut down due to a memory ritual I have that keeps me to preoccupied. It’s a little silly, but I rebuild the entirety of the city of Balmora from Elder Scrolls 3, in my imagination/mind’s eye. Building it item by item and have to hold each item in view as I add more.

That's hyperphantasia. My brain too take me on weird adventures before sleep, but for me it can happen without any control over it like some sort of flashback. It doesn't last long, like a 2-3 seconds . When kid i always had this sort of hallucination that would happen randomly where i open a door very slowly and in the other side is some sort of library and in the center a huge hourglass spinning. All happening in slow motion.

Sounds interesting, and chance of getting you to summarize or ELI5?

The author has snippets of her book here. But, they're a bunch of funny stories throughout her life and how she's been dealing with depression. I've read it multiple times and I love the book.

Here's a quote from the website:

What kind of stories are in it?

Of the new stories, there are two new stories about my dogs, a story about a letter I wrote to my future self when I was ten, a story about the use of fear and shame as motivational tools, a story about the time my mother tried to take my sister and I on an adventure and ended up getting us all lost in the woods, a story about all the illogical internal rules I have for how reality should be and what happens when reality doesn't give a shit about my rules, a story about a toy parrot, a story about a lie I told as a child that spiraled completely out of control, a story about my identity and how I use it to prevent myself from realizing how shitty I actually am, and a cautionary tale about what happens when you try to fix everything about yourself all at once.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The start of this was me trying to fix everything all at once, something I knew wasn’t great, I got cocky. 😣

I like the "Do not order" button

Mindfulness meditation might actually help

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At this point I’ll give it a try, any suggestions to start? I’ve never meditated in my life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Guided mindfulness meditation I guess? I don't have a specific link.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, this is a simple solution. If you want to be happy and still alive, you'll need to only stop with certain thoughts 💭

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Which is a conundrum when the subconscious is naturally very vocal. It was once a boon in school or general memory retention, but now it’s like a ghost.

No kidding, I wish I was blissfully unaware.

That's when you go to the lake and drink beer, right?

It's called drugs. Unfortunately there are side effects.

Yeah, it's fucking up my liver...
