How do I do this? @Ulax Yes. @LSD-Rumi How do I develop a deep feeling of safety on the inside?

I feel ya bro. People just make bold assumptions on the outside because these mystery chronic illnesses are not visible from the outside. What did you respond with when that person told you what they told you?

The book “Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi? Which one do you recommend I read first? The Power of Now or Flow? And do you think listening to the audiobooks instead of reading is okay?

@Raze Which one do you recommend I read first?

@BlessedLion @UnbornTao When I did semen retention before my health issues started I noticed a huge improvement. But now when I do it I don’t notice much difference. I’ve gone 3 weeks on semen retention multiple times in the past couple of years and I didn’t feel much different. Maybe I’m so tired all the time anyway that fapping doesn’t have as much room of energy to drain. I don’t know maybe three weeks isn’t long enough. What did you do during this time instead? I am interested in this approach. @kag101 I am currently seeing a psychologist but haven’t gotten much results. But I’ve only had 2 sessions with them so far. Where and how did you find a high quality one? Any tips or recommendations?

@StarStruck Sounds great. But how??? What do I need to do to get out of my head?

If you had to do it again and start over, how would you go about it? How do you start doing this?

@BlessedLion I've been trying to stop for years. How long did it take for you to see these results when you stopped jerking off? This is good. If I go another year like this I will be much worse off. If I turned it around and started crushing it I will love my life. Where do you sit when you're in nature?

@Leo Gura Thanks Leo. How are your health problems now? Do you still have SIBO? @Nilsi is there any other way you can send it here?

@Nilsi What is this? The link isn’t working for me. Any recommendations? Thanks brotha.

@Jowblob Where did you find this? What is this from? Or did you create this yourself? I want to learn more about this.

@Leo Gura You are right. But I think I need to try harder. I’m always tired 24/7 because of chronic fatigue, getting out of bed everyday is the hardest part. I know that I could still be taking more action and researching more. I still eat food and masturbate as a crutch for how shit my life is. Maybe I am gaslighting myself. But maybe I’m not. I need to change my mindset into thinking I have more control over this situation than I think I currently do. I’m just so sick of this man. I’ve made little to no progress with my health. I need to get the hell out of this situation ASAP. I already feel like I’ve lost half of my life quality, imagine years down the road. How do I take more action?

Well my main goal has been to be free of my ailments. I need to be free of them within the next year. Within the next 5 years is too pessimistic of a goal for me. If it takes me 5 years to solve this shit I’d rather kill myself. So it has to be ASAP.

@Hello from Russia Do you have any tips on reading more?

@kieranperez How do you know this? Where can I learn more about his life?

@Thought Art Noooooo. I’ve always been looking for niche content like that because I use an e-ink tablet too. Do you still use an e-ink tablet?

@Nilsi How?

@Thought Art Can I please see!???

Can you elaborate more on why escaping wage slavery is so important?

How do I choose to be happy?

When I got severe depression out of nowhere a year ago (possibly from burnout) I had zero anxiety. None. I went from being a high-functioning, productive person, working all day, to struggling to get out of bed. All that happened was that I felt like I lost my self and my personality. I no longer enjoyed the things I was previously extremely passionate about. Everything suddenly felt dull. It felt like I wasn't living life, I was just surviving life, just trying to get through the day. I was not sad either. Just numb. It's the depression that persists despite of circumstances, not the one that is caused by circumstances e.g. financial issues. I was apathetic, indifferent to everything. No longer cared about anything. Just completely emotionally numb. I couldn't even care more about researching to get out of this depression. I had so much fatigue, low motivation, and emotional numbness, that I felt no emotional charge to research to heal myself. All of my motivation to research to heal myself is a logical "should". As in "I should be doing this, I should know that this is not the way to live life" rather than "I want to do this, I know that this is not the way to live life." With this, my ability to do things and be productive had completely plummeted. As the months went by, I was doing less and less important things, and I ended up developing anxiety. So now, not only do I have this issues I mentioned above, I also have anxiety, catastrophization, and paranoia on top of that. Could this anxiety/paranoia be a result of my apathy/depression? No longer feeling passion for my vision and goals like I used to? No longer feeling like my self? It sounds weird but I want to "be numb" again. I think emotional numbness was causing me less suffering than this anxiety/paranoia.

I am looking for a therapist/psychologist/psychotherapist to help with my depression, anxiety, and paranoia. I’ve already wasted a lot of time and money on other therapists that did not help at all, they themselves seemed confused in every session. So I’m looking for the best ones. I went through the IFS practitioner directory, and maxed the filter out to Level 3, Approved Clinical IFS Consultant, Availability: “Accepting new clients” and there was so many options I didn’t go what to pick from. I went through each individual person and their focus didn’t seem to fit mine. Perhaps all the good ones are fully booked? How do I know who to pick?

@Ulax It’s one of the filters in the directory. “Approved IFS Clinical Consultant”. For free right? Should I offer a duration? Like 15 min?

@Ulax Do you have any tips or advice?

Thank you. What about anxiety of going to prison? It could be for something you didn’t do, or for something you did many years ago, or for something that is outlawed but gives you personal growth like psychedelics. Please let me know what you think of all three examples.
