The power of meditation no one talks about.

Great to hear.

Well, @Someone here.

I don't know what we're doing. Schconfused.

Good point and reminder. Maybe taking a cold shower.

Milk? Red meat? Refined sugar? Not saying they're similar to seed oils in this context, by the way.

Conform to nonconformity.

Finally - a worthy reply.

Sure, go ahead. You0re the conductor. Some practice will be needed, but start gradually. For example, can you meditate for five straight minutes? Or read a book for half an hour without interruption? Keep in mind that this concentration business is more about what you don't do rather than the other way around.

Chocolate cake and Elden Ring. Bear in mind, it's best not to take your experience of emotions too seriously. Give it some space - some "distance." Recognize it as an activity you're engaged in, not something that belongs to reality or life itself. Think of depression as a particular outfit you might occasionally wear, rather than confusing it with your body (or something of the sort). You can always wear something else, too.

Everytime you say "no", remember Bugs Bunny:
