it can and will change you.

I could write hours on this subject.

mostly for good if your set and setting is in order.

seek guidance and spirituality, and you will receive it.

crave wisdom, mental strength and peace of mind and you will find it.

welcome on board bro, I guess healthy people in this sick world are the truly weird people here

I've been accumulating diagnoses for years, I'm undergoing treatment with medication and therapy, it's helping...you should seek professional assistance, many people here are going to just say ''take a cold wash every morning", "eat x and y", "use this supplement", "go to gym" and other guru advice, you need to talk with professionals who studied this subject for years instead of relying on random dudes like us

I have the opposite experience.

Paid top dollar for professionals, multiple clinics, and different specialists.

All were very happy to give prescription antidepressants, dopomine regulators and whatnot, chemical shit that made me sick and gave very little to no difference.

A youtube comment from a random dude changed my life for better.

That was 2 years ago and still going strong.

Now working on my physical strength and continuing to explore and travel paths of the subconscious mind.

I feel happy for you, for me it was the opposite direction, I hope OP can balance both approaches and find a way to improve his mental health

yes, I agree. Most important thing is to seek help I guess and want the change to happen.

Without action, there wont be any different results.

Effective

This the reason, you havn't found anything that makes money. Otherwise you wouldn't give a damn, you'd crank the music up, and get busy everyday, as every worthwhile business took time to develop and grow. So should yours.

i think it is common with the ones doing IM.

i frequently go through this phase, also because am bipolar. So i cannot take a win and be happy with it. My eyes are bigger than my stomach. So for me its constant hustling

Also am not going to generalize get of out the comfort zone. Just get out of the house meet someone. Go to a support group. I go to NA. There is something call EA (if you dont have any addiction issues) EA is Emotional anonymous

--

But yes, watch a lot of comedy. I do that. Its silly and looks simple but helps

Also its okay to be low every now and then. We are all low/depressed sometimes so dont beat yourself up

I have started doing ChatGPT live. Excellent therapy for me. My space to be honest with my feelings.

Action is the magic word. Start, even if its small. Start
