Something Funny

@Kairos I meant dying from a terminal illness that can't be cured in any normal way. This is a plot of a tv show.

@trenton true, although I was asking more about your personal life. @Emerald what if you can't create a distance, what if you need to make a decision and make it quickly? Like what if your friends are dying and there is this woman who can cure them. But in order to do that she needs you to let her in to the house where you and your friends live, and where you know she is forbidden from going, in the middle of the night, so that she can perform a magic ritual. You also have to participate in that magic ritual which involves cutting yourself for blood sacrifice and drinking a suspicious "tea" mixed with blood and different herbs or whatever. You have known this woman for some time now and she is very kind and sweet in general, but sometimes she will avoid answering some of your questions and will ask you to do things that might be pushing some boundaries. Would you go for it or would you just let yourself and your friends die without even trying?

@Rigel japanese sleep on futons not the floor itself. I don't see any physiological benefits or differences to sleeping on the floor vs on the bed frame, you can put any kind of mattress/futon you like on either of them. The advantages of a bedframe are: - your room looks less messy - in case you have carpet floor - the air you breathe will be less dusty - there is an airflow underneath your mattress so it won't get moldy or something like that. The advantage of just a matress on the floor is that you can move it during the day, to have more space. Or even roll it, if it's thin enough. But I don't think this is very useful if you have a giant 160-180cm mattress anyway.

Also, is it bad if one side of the bed is up against the wall? 160cm bed would fit perfectly into my bedrooms corner, and I imagine it would feel really cozy there. My concern is that it will not be big enough, especially for the person who is up against the wall. I imagine most people prefer to sleep with some open space in front / behind of them. I could go for 180cm bed, but I would have to put in the middle of a room, in a perpendicular way, and it will basically take up all the space there is. Leaving just enough of it to get up and walk around the bed / get to the closet, which will be in about 50cm in front of it.

Thanks for sharing. King size is 180, right?

@integral I can sleep through a metal concert blasting in the same room.

@Kairos @Leo Gura no girl

I think I need to go to ikea and test them out.

@Schizophonia I see, thanks.

I have never heard of those. Can you actually by them or is it some niche/restricted stuff?

Have you ever seen the Ip Man movie? I have that image of him and his wife living in this really small house, during the war, sleeping on a tiny bed. This is kind of the vibe I am talking about. It's obviously not the same, but I think smaller bed gives you that "the 2 of you surviving against the whole world" feel. It's kind of romantic.

Yeah, I am leaning towards 180 too, I think. I have a separate living room anyway.

No, that's a joke XD.

Another argument for a smaller bed would be that it will bring you closer as a couple. Will make you more comfortable with each other. Maybe that's a good thing long term.

@Sugarcoat every joke has a bit of a joke to it

@Sugarcoat ?

@Leo Gura yeah, but like if you say that somebody lives in rural texas, you get a certain image of a person (or at least of all the people living there, in general). I feel like this is also the case for vegas, and every other place, really. Do you disagree?

There are many people who are never going to go to vegas because they are not interested, no?

But I can't do it. That's the issue. I am trying to find something that will give me a leg up and will allow me to sleep better, eat better, do a dopamine detox, exercise, etc.

@Michael569 I wouldn't say it's anxiety "attacks" per say. More like overthinking and catastrophising think which then also ties it into overwhelm and procrastination. Basically, I easily get super anxious and overwhelmed even by very minor things, and procrastinate because of it, I guess. For example, this year I've been very paranoid about procrastinating at work. There were multiple times where I thought that I am completely fucked, worrying that I will get fired or fail in some really catastrophic way, and almost had a nervous breakdown and quit myself to prevent it. But every time nothing bad happens and during the yearly review last month I got "exceeding expectations" grade from my team leader, lmao. This example is fairly big, but I can do the same thing about smaller stuff like fixing a bike, or selling my old clothes, or applying for a residence permit, etc. I will get into these stress spirals, being anxious 24/7 and procrastinating even more because of it, only to find out that the thing I was worried about takes a few hours to do and is kind of enjoyable... This is the constant theme for me. So it's not like I actually have too much on my plate, even though this can also be the case sometimes, but it's not the main factor. Do you think nervine route will be better for me? I've started taking those recently. I think it helps, but it's hard to tell because it is all so subtle. My grandma actually used to give me valerian pills, almost daily, when I was a kid. Because I would also stress a lot or be over active or something, I am not sure. I don't really remember what effect it had on me, if any, because it was so long ago. Does valerian also work in the same way as the plants you've mentioned?

@manuel bon that's weird

@Schizophonia @Michael569 adhd, anxiety, and procrastination

Idk, sounds sketchy. But I will look it up, thanks.

@PurpleTree i see

@Leeo_SA yes, I am taking them, but without mixrodosing at the moment. It's hard to say what helps and what doesn't because I take everything together, and I also don't feel anything special. It just feels kind of solid, I guess. I think it makes me less anxious and prone to procrastination. My goals are: dealing witg adhd, anxiety, procrustination. I would like to try those as well. Have no idea where to get Iboga though. I see that you are from switzerland, do you get it locally or is there some international website?
