I wish I could keep interested in things over time and actually work towards my life goals or learn a new skill. as it is I either have no energy and sleep/watch tv, or I have energy but can’t focus it on anything, or I end up playing truck simulator or something for 72 hours straight

is it possible that drinking is bad for your mental health? I’m trying to trick myself into believing that I’m happier when I don’t drink, or more specifically, if I don’t have any drinks in an evening then when I go to bed and also get up I tell myself “I’m so glad I didn’t drink” and I hope if I do it enough then when it’s late arvo and I feel like a drink, instead of only focusing on the fun, maybe I also remember how pleased I am when I don’t drink and maybe that influences myself into not drinking

excessive drinking has ruined countless lives, causing numerous physical health issues, not to mention the financial aspect of dealing with an addiction and the contribution to increased domestic abuse. but it also makes you feel good for a couple hours when you are first buzzed, so it’s impossible to say if its actually bad or not

part of humanity is self-destruction, it's unavoidable and necessary. alcohol facilitates this and has facilitated this for 12,000 years. as methods of portioning out limited units of self-destruction goes, it has its advantages and disadvantages. if it were invented today it would probably be illegal and unpopular.

Regular drugs like escitalopram also work on depression*, you know. You don't have to jump straight to shrooms and special k *in about 40 percent of people iirc lol

Best Bi Geek Squid posted:unironically hearing good things about ketamine for depression ketamine infusion therapy was incredibly effective for me. expensive as hell, though: it got to something like $8k total when i stopped, at $690 a pop, and i'm one of the lucky ones who hasn't needed a "booster" every few months but knowing what i know now, I'd have paid five times as much. depression still resurfaces once in a while, once every month or 2 for a couple days, but otherwise it's in near-as-damnit total remission it's only a shame that it didn't hit the anx, but hey yo, one miracle is enough

afaict from talking about it in therapy, hosed up intrusive thoughts are as common as muck; just some people can disregard, ignore and forget them more readily than others (i used to be a lot worse at it, myself. therapy & practice helped) brains're weird

there is a lot to be said for the now over-used word "mindfulness" in at least that you must recognize thoughts are only that no matter how dire and can be allowed to go unexamined, uncontested or unacknowledged as simply mental clutter from a brain that has been exposed to lots of trauma real and imaginary it's just a leaf in a stream yo

i think it goes past just being exposed to trauma. our brains evolved in a dangerous environment. there are obvious evolutionary advantages to being constantly looking for danger and imagining scenarios and planning for the worst....if you are on the serengeti spending all day searching for food while surrounded by tigers. in the same way that our teeth have not evolved to handle a modern high-sugar diet, our brains have not evolved to handle a modern low-mortal-risk lifestyle. they are programmed to imagine the worst. they can't help it. if you can really understand that your brain just comes up with these ideas on its own out of nowhere, and that they are broadly meaningless, it goes a long way to creating some mental calm

yeah but i was referring to the bridge scenario i had thought of going through a gap to a ten meter drop to land on top of a train with my legs pinwheeling like a certain coyote completely blameless because my heart would be in surviving the fall and keeping pace with something moving at a good speed not a good thought but i entertained it so i feel for anyone who sees a high place and wonders what really is at the bottom shouldn't do that, not a survival instinct to be sure

i think that's still fundamentally a survival instinct -- just an overreactionary and incompetent one. your brain going "imagine this awful thing that could happen, right this instant even, look at how close you are to it...better not let that happen..." if you're aware of it -- if you're afraid of it -- you can avert it. i don't think you can be aware of danger without being at least a little afraid of it; that's the point. babies aren't afraid of these abstract dangers, which is why you have to constantly stop them from accidentally killing themselves. so your brain is trying to protect you from disaster, but it does that by showing you how close you are. i often get it when i'm driving my car and there's a pedestrian on the sidewalk. "just one tiny twist of the wheel...you'd kill them and go to prison...your life would be over...it could happen...it's always just seconds away..." i hate it and it's certainly an intrusive thought. edgar allan poe called it "the imp of the perverse." it takes a huge amount of mental fortitude to deal with. i'm working on it Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 12, 2022 |

Sagebrush posted:"imagine this awful thing that could happen, right this instant even, look at how close you are to it...better not let that happen..." to me it feels more like "if it were to happen, how would it play out and what could you do to salvage the situation?" and less like "you better avoid it in the first place"
