Fave here.

Call me whatever, I don't care just as long as it isn't a rude slur.

This does not mean that the play is not real, or that it should not be taken seriously. It does mean playing a role - an important one. Each actor must of himself realize, however, the nature of the production and his part in it. He must actualize himself out of the three-dimensional confines of the play's setting. - Seth

I know... I don't get it. This is getting into weird territory. Sometimes I'm scrolling through and dislikes helps me chose a video to watch, it's vague now and I don't like that so much. Fortunately I have my algorithms trained for only high consciousness material. If I didn't have a taste for what I was looking for already, though, not having this option doesn't help. I don't care about the rare instances of trolling the dislike feature. Content creators should have the option to remove the button individually.

I think it is, I like to use it to channel, to stay on task, to learn something new - it does all these things - I'd like to be less attached to it though and in the future will only use it three days a week and that should solve the time-wasting, unhealthy aspect that comes with all social media.

I'm sorry you and your kids went through that, if I were in your shoes I would feel anger, too. That's totally natural. Kudos to you for trying to do something about it, that's really proactive. It does show that you are a mature adult. TBH I would never even be able to get that far if I had kids and found out the ex did something to them. That's a hard one to forgive. You have to be a really big person to handle that kind of forgiveness.

I'm sorry to hear that, I know how it feels to be lonely, even amongst a crowd of people. I think it is because people in this day and age lack connection.

I was just having this insight into depression and here this thread is. I agree with you, I follow you, it makes perfect sense to me. That probably is the cure to depression, so... working on hobbies must fix it; things that put you in a state of flow, that feel good and over time can produce a positive result i.e. improvement. With a hobby, you are doing an action just for the sake of enjoyment, and that is the opposite of depression, and it cures the self esteem issues as well. Those were my thoughts, but you worded it much better. I need to stop thinking of myself as so bad, and being so negative towards who I am all the time because this is not the truthful orientation. It is just one that I happened to adopt by accident growing up. Of course I'd be depressed, I treat my inner self so unkindly and there's no need for it. Good insights, it helped to word something that I was feeling strongly about.

Try the Perception Trainers on youtube, her entire channel is based off of starting with self love first.

I think just focusing on your own stuff is the healthiest way to use this forum. If you focus on the negative aspects then that's all there will be and the good might be overlooked. There are some negatives, they just don't effect me/ I don't pay attention to it.

I take them to stabilize my bipolar and they help a lot. I generally am manic/catatonic and need something to help stabilize the chemicals in my brain. I tried the spiritual route and ended up in the hospital. They put me back on meds and I can still do my work, in fact, even better, and I don't feel like the world is falling apart and I can MOVE around and do things. It's great. If you need them, and nothing else works and without them you are sick, then take them, but if not, you could try other methods. They help to fix my thinking as well.

Do you think you lack in self love? I am learning that can have a lot to do with procrastination when it comes to taking action.

You're average, you're fine, don't worry so much. The first guy I slept with was about that size and he was just fine. He did it better than my ex with a big, thick one - he didn't know how to use it and it just ended up being a pain-stick about 60 percent of the time.

Yeah if that were me I would be a bit confused. Probably shouldn't do that, but idk what you'd do in place of it.

Of course! I do artwork and would love to make a picture for you in a couple of weeks for you to remember him by.

The forum post was "4334" here for a while.

Hello! I am on antipsychotics for bipolar type 1, and I find that they are helpful. I still have awakenings on them and can think straighter, my mood is more stable and the delusions have gone away. You can attain enlightenment on them. I am not enlightened, but I do spiritual work and the medication does not mess with that. In fact, it makes it easier to distinguish ego from the illness. If you have one of the stronger types of bipolar, meds can work. Depends on how 'you' feel on them though, each person is different. Maybe try a journal and see?

Do you have any pictures? What was the name?

No I never share Leo's videos because if I did then people would think that I was part of a cult. My family already thinks I'm quite strange and they don't understand anything about me, and they think the reason why I went to a psychiatric hospital was because I watched this stuff. So I feel very hesitant on sharing this material with anybody else... My 777th post.

Yes. Emerald! Do a video on his series, I would be curious to hear your take.

If you can afford it, yes. If not... no, there should be options for those who cannot to get the same knowledge that those who can do. The movies you could probably do without but books are essential. If you have to, pay it back somehow by empowering yourself and doing something good for others.
