You need to be diagnosed before you can be treated, but it's a lengthy process in most parts of the world. Some mental illnesses show similar symptoms to ADHD/ADD and it's harder to get diagnosed if your symptoms weren't noticed when you were a child. Some doctors may also refrain from prescribing controlled substances right away, so they start you on non-stimulant meds.

@Tahuti oh man please chill out. Im not idealizing anyone I just asked a question. Sorry that it disturbed you so much you had the type all that stuff.

I've come across this advice a lot too, I think you're right with this hypothesis. If you want to draw something realistically, firstly you need to learn to see it as it is, instead of what you think it looks like. I believe at this stage of drawing, mindfulness is exactly what all the art teachers are trying to teach you without knowing.

Your observation here is quite weak and brings out a lot of complications. You don’t know if a man masturbates because he “adores and respects” women or simply does so because he perceives them as sexual objects. Do you think a man who masturbates in a public park and flashes women is less misogynistic than a monk who refrains from his sexual urges to reach enlightenment? Your observation here comes out of your limited experience with men and how you perceive them. I’m not saying this to “attack you “ just trying to show you how subjective and biased it is. In most cases masturbation is just masturbation, it’s a biological need and if a man or a woman does it in a “healthy way” (if it doesn’t cause problem to themselves and people around them) there’s not much value to read too much into it.

I recently saw a YouTube comment from the son of a policeman who had to take care of Josef Fritzl's daughter and her children after 24 years of their captivity. The father cried for hours to his son repeating "There is no God." It's sickening to see how far Evil goes and what's the purpose of all this suffering, if there is any. I also sometimes find myself wondering why God hate me.

@Leo Gura I know, this can happen. Again, this is an act of unconsciousness. Overwhelmingly majority of the population is extremely unconscious and never even had the thought of improving themselves, they're in a deeply animalistic state acting accordingly to their instincts. Never even questioned about reality. But this can be transcended. I know a lot of women who are not in love with sadistic rude scumbags.

I think it's going to be Alien Love, or at least I really really hope so

There’s no way this man is not using psychedelics, I’m glad he bought Twitter because I believe he can use this power for the benefit of legalization. However I have no idea why he’s going republican (I’m not in the US)

In my opinion most men who only want to have sex/get married with virgins are very insecure about their performance or dick size and doesn’t want to get judged by their partner. They’re terribly afraid of being compared to her other partners so they choose inexperienced virgins. I’m obviously not speaking for every men but in general I find this preference very controlling and misogynistic

@Asayake oh my fuck that's really disturbing. The guy definitely needs some help.

Where is the picture with the gun?

Yeah it does that to me too, I threw up in the last 3-4 trips. It's hell of a struggle to actually "get up" and crawl into the bathroom so I keep my doses low, but I think it could be just psychological.

Loved: I used to love Ancient Egypt as a child, way before I learned how to read. I remember how I made my mother buy me books / magazines about it and read them for me on my bed. I felt loved and appreciated for who I am and she encouraged me to explore. Unloved: I had maybe more than 25 issues of National Geographic magazine before I was 9. I didn't care if they were "advanced" for my age, I loved everything about them. My mother told me she was going to gift them to the neighbor's daughter who was 6-7 years older than me. I felt betrayed, extremely disappointed and couldn't figure out why would she even think that was appropriate to give out my precious collection like this. I'm still angry.

Unconditional love

You won't chill out until you get your life in order. You can change jobs if this lifestyle is putting you in so much pressure. You need to get good night sleep and have a balanced diet, I think this neurotic feelings are not going to clear away unless you take good care of yourself. I believe your emotional state at the moment is a symptom of your stressed and unbalanced lifestyle, you need to fix it asap so you can know if some of these feelings persist

why is the video set to private?

Lying to my parents were quite traumatizing for me. I had to consistently lie to them because I was afraid they might not love me if they knew the "truth". I don't live with them anymore but that period of my life still affects my current relationships, I feel like if people get too close to me they'll find out how terrible I am and leave me so I'm afraid of intimacy.

I just filled out the form. Thank you for letting us now.

Unconsciousness

Absolutely agree with that!

@HypnoticMagician I don't really like therapy neither. I find it too materialistic and it focuses too much on "thoughts", it tries to change negative belief systems with more positive ones to fit me more into their definition of "normal".

I'm in a very rough patch in my life, I've been dealing with mental illnesses and depression more than 10 years and all therapies I had were unhelpful. A few days ago I started taking Vortioxetine (day) and Sulpiride (night) for my depression. I'm still actively working on letting go technique and meditating everyday, I'm acknowledging my feelings as they come up and let them go. I believe most of you think antidepressants are a waste of time, and I had lots of hesitation before I start taking them, but I made sure to my psychiatrist that I don't intend to use them for a long period of time and I want to get back to my med-free life as soon as possible. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to get therapy at the time because I'm struggling financially, but I'm looking for ways to get it for free through my college's support system. So I'm kind of on my own right now. I'm not going to use these antidepressants to "escape" from my feelings, but as an aircushion as I witness them and let them go. Send me your thoughts and techniques to cope with depression, thanks.

@Evoke I never heard of those conspiracy theory hippies you're talking about?
