Too Little of a Good Thing

I wish more people had the courage to be vulnerable. Seems people have no idea the benefits therein. If everyone, and I do mean precisely everyone felt safe enough to be vulnerable with each other, then this wouldn't be a problem, it would be a solution.

Unlimited

I often like to say that those who have to act on the need to control cannot help others because to control something is the opposite action of helping someone. I like the way your friend thinks. Anything that evokes fear in a person is a doorway to endless possibilities. Most people don't recognize...

Up at night, sleep til noon.

Hi there. I do this to avoid my toxic parents. Yes, I'm 25 and I still live with them. I'm on disability for severe mental illness. It is, in fact, crippling. PTSD/DID. Also, I'm currently on a waiting list for low-income apartments. Don't plan on staying like this for long! That's the good part. Th...

Two Deficiencies

A lot of people seem to struggle with vitamin D levels as well as vitamin B 12 levels. This also seems to go for people who eat meat, which would seem illogical since the best sources of vitamin B 12 are found mostly in fish and calf liver. What this says to me is that there is apparently something ...

Love a good ramble.

Eh, I actually like that "nothing matters" feeling. Enjoy it quite a bit on some days. Yes, I think it's done that for me before. Gave me some insight and opened my eyes. YouTube is great. Too bad it still gets some stink from people who want everyone to get off the Internet and get a soci...

Perpetually Confused

Conundrum? Doesn't seem like one to me. . . .

Not sure what you mean. It's only a problem ... because the individual with the problem says it is, or other people?

Mind/Body Connection

Sad(?) thing is, since I feel so horribly, I have mostly lost interest in reading. It's all good and well, of course. Reading is ... enjoyable? Some say it's a hobby. I'd say it's a hobby, but it no longer feels good, just as most other things that used to feel good no longer feel good. ... Food fee...

I'm also uptight.

<- Very bitter. Booze ... usually makes me feel sick. Pretty sure this means that because I don't like the side-effects of alcohol, I'm not likely to become an alcoholic? I don't drink as much as I used to. Beers, sometimes. Amounts always vary, so when/if a doctor asks me how much I have, this alwa...

To the Extreme

. . . My self-harming comes from self-hatred. It would be easy to say "I need to find ways to cope and stop doing it and 'get over it', but it doesn't work that way." See, if someone hates themselves, then they feel they are entitled to suffer/be in pain/hurt themselves. This serves the pu...

Enigmatic.

Pamela Adlon. She seems very down-to-earth and straightforward, on the surface, but if you pay close attention, she's a remarkably deep person. It also sounds like she's lived a fascinating life, from what little I've heard in podcasts and interviews. There are aspects of her that are very enigmatic...

Username

This isn't helpful, I know, but I just wanted to make a post saying that I like your username. ... I really like it. And I can relate to the whole daydreaming/living-in-your-head type thing. I've habitually done that my entire life. Unlike other people, I do not think this is good or bad. I think it...

ASMRtists

Does anyone else on here enjoy ASMR? I occasionally frequent the .fm website.... Just recently, it got hacked. It's now stabilized. Still, gotta be careful out there.

My favorite ASMRtists are OliviaKissperASMR, GentleWhispering, and Air Light ACMP. Those 3 do it the best for me.

It's both.

Both. I want the pain to stop ... and I want to stop living. Basically, I'm at a point where I don't want to exist at all, anywhere, in any way, but I also don't want to feel any pain, in any shape or form. To be absolutely nothing and to feel absolutely nothing, as if I don't exist, is usually what...
