Think of a psychiatric ward like an intensive care unit for those with mental health conditions. It’s not meant to keep you in there permanently, but get you back to being grounded and not spiral out of control. They are important in our society, but the system certainly be reformulated to incorporate psychedelics, for example.

@LordFall In a nutshell, flexible mindset. I appreciate the reminder! Being flexible is something I’ve struggled with for my entire life and have only begun seriously addressing a few years ago.

A connection I made in my worldview is the heavily politicized trans issue in America. Extreme conservatives advocate for blocking gender-affirming care to adolescents because they believe medical professionals and mentally ill parents are “violently” stripping away kids of their natural, innocent state. This worldview is obviously absurd from a more holistic perspective. There are, of corse, improper ways of transitioning a child. However, also consider other ways we gaslight our kids. Such as the failure in our mainstream school system.

Reminds me of my relationship with my dad. I felt like I lost him for 20 years of my life, but after a series of miracles he came back into my life and now we are much healthier, despite not physically being together all the time. Thank you for sharing.

Heh… doesn’t need to just be sex. Could be playing a video game with the bae, such as BioShock

@BlueOak I was personally able to get off of antidepressant, stimulant, and anti-anxiety medications thanks to medical cannabis and psychedelics done responsibility + with an amazing support system

@Reciprocality What I actually am used to doing often is needing reality to be a particular way. So thank you expanding with the cup example!

I personally enjoy l-theanine, magnesium glycinate, fish oil, b complex, and drinking matcha tea. There’s plenty more I’m sure that are helpful.

I could also be wrong. I’m coming to acceptance of that “fact”!

I would ask you which specific video, but then I remembered that I don’t exist Let me do more research… hmmm… http://www.wikipedia.org/ajkdhfkajshdk

So basically, allow Love to be or not to be controlled.

Wasn’t even thinking about my nose before you mentioned it. And couldn’t see it visually, but I immediately felt it. Amazing!

Don’t forget Love

@Princess Arabia Oh yeah, I’ve significantly decreased the amount of therapy I go to relative to a year ago!

@Davino Sometimes my eyes can decieve me, though. I thought it was 420, but it’s currently 4:02 PM

Could also frame it as “I am aware of ________”. It puts distance from you and the beliefs or thoughts. Now you can realize how many “garbage” thoughts infect your mind, and it’s your choice whether to proceed in that direction. High quality choices come from clarity of mind.

It can be as simple as a cat or as complex as an alien.

@OBEler I love tripping with my eyes open. Makes me realize that what I once thought was ordinary is actually extraordinary

Honestly hard to choose just one. It’s like asking a musician what song of theirs is their favorite.

I get that. Avoiding and denying feelings has been a serious issue for me for quite a long time, which is why I’m so grateful that I’m starting to approach them now.

I am thankful for all of the times in my life that I could certainly deem as hellish or insane. Why? Because I could not be where I am today had it not been for all those experiences! Now my life purpose is greater and more holistic, and I also feel less of a victim. Those who were once my enemies I see them from a much more understanding and pure position. Developing this clarity is a possibility, but it won’t come overnight. You’ve got this

And what lesson(s) did you learn from this experience?

Let’s cut back on the personal attacks y’all. Thank you

Could also be intrusive thoughts that you don’t have to entertain or give your attention to. I have thought many disgusting things that I would never really act upon. Having mastery over your mind is key here. NO matter what kind of thoughts come in, you are prepared to handle them gracefully and intuitively.
