i spend a lot of time alone and so my mind wandering out unattended can be a real problem. years ago (45 now), i finally traced back to the single moments in my life that caused my demise and since then my brain LOVES to torture me repeatedly with the pain and betrayal and shame and anger of those moments.
1.5 years ago i found something that helps. i made “elevator music” for my mind.
i have always had a bit of a problem getting songs stuck in my head. so i found one that i like but not love (not a favorite song) that i have known for forever, and put the chorus and bridge on permanent replay.
the tune and lyrics are available as a reflex, last for about a minute before the loopback, it is calming and centering and allows me to manually wrest control away from thought processes that are harming me but seem to be happening automatically.
it may be that this is too specific of a solution, but it aids my sanity. good luck to you.
(the song is: “Spinning the Wheel” by George Michael)
the turn tables
when was the last time you paid your taxes?.. or were they auto-deducted from your paycheck before you even had a chance to count it?
“you’re free to move to a place…” hahaha! haaahahaha! WHAT? you are not a serious person.
it is really bugging me that you are getting heavily downvoted for this. it’s not like you are actively proselytizing here. i am sorry people are so shitty.
i think belief in (some type of) god is probably pretty healthy. unfortunately, my life experience has led me to a failure to believe in anything at all.
anyways… you do you. be well.
oh yes, i see now…
… YOU are part of the elect few who TRULY understand. of course!
shut it ALL down.
Bernie should use that gavel on Mullin's head. shut that fucker up.
it's so so sooooo difficult to take this language seriously. because EVERY election is phrased with this sky-is-falling rhetoric. i am 45 and for as long as i have been a voter, this-next-one is the-big-one.
nevertheless, i do actually think that this time bad things really will happen.
also, i want to get it out there that even though this guardian piece downplays "biden is old", i cannot stress enough that i will unconditionally NOT vote for biden. so these fuckers better put up a reasonable candidate very quickly.
"… you do know that…, right?"
well akshually 🤓
i am really glad you took the time to put all of that into words. i, a queer person, agree completely.
yes, you are obviously not the one in this thread that is obsessed with trump.
just read the thread! obviously not obsessed!
i bought a buckwheat pillow a couple months ago and it led directly to the issue in the meme. BEWARE!
… a fucking osteopath without a license.
because the orange man and his mob have recently made the claim that his J6 actions are constitutionally protected.
recently. not olds. news.
the Inflation Reduction Act is climate legislation?.. should we pass a Climate Reduction Act to get ahead of the grocery bill?
i became a member of abovetopsecret.com back in 2007. speculation about “the powers that be” was interesting and there was lots of information and friendly people.
i still visit that site about once per week, but the people are awful and the information is no good. habit, i guess.
i think it is incredibly unfair that the process of ending your own life is, in this culture, a necessarily lonely and grim affair.
according to the theory of complete bodily autonomy the option must be available, simple, painless, and ideally a joyful shared experience. but the moment you make such a desire known to others, they will try to “help” you. and i can assure you that their idea of “help” will not be pleasant for you.
so, sadly, you must tread this path alone.
philosophically, i think it offends people because it forces them to acknowledge that their own life is probably not worth preserving. we force each other to suffer through it all because no one wants to openly admit that this shit just plain-old-sucks.
