Here is one paragraph from the paper I wrote that includes the "latent inhibition" discussion, along with the references if anyone is interested in the original information. Obviously, the paper was about bipolar disorder, but at least the Harvard Gazette article is relevant to the current...

I think so. The rest of this is merely my interpretation of what I have read, coupled with what I have experienced, personally, and witnessed others experience. It seems to be a known thing that modifying what is taken in during daily life helps people with Autism and PTSD to cope. For...

I was talking about this in here with another member, yesterday, and so, here's my awareness on the topic. I did some research in college that led me to studies that found that people with low levels of latent inhibition were more likely to be highly intelligent, mentally ill, and/or creative...

I do that, too. I'm sorry you are having to take so much medication, recently. It's hard. I am in a similar boat just now and opted to stay in the car when I went to town today because I knew I had enough pain meds in my system to get mouthy with someone in the store (again). So, it was...

I don't think anyone is really dancing and singing with me 😒 It's good for you @Survivor3 ! 🥳🐳

I'm not sure what YouTube is doing - Mark Ronson, Maroon 5, ColdPlay, Rob Thomas, Eminem, Pharrel Williams, and Daft Punk. Daft Punk is favorite rock-out dance music for me, though. Unhealthy happens when one is especially hungry or it does for me, anyway.

Oh no. That's no good. I hope it wears off quickly.

Friday and Sunday are the new scheduled hiking days. We're going real hiking this weekend. Hubby is done with school for the semester! Woohoo! Still dancing - makes me feel good. Gotta keep it up. Whatcha gonna eat?

I was rock-out dancing and thought of you. Oh, wait. I still am.

Good! You?

That sounds awesome!

Darn it. My PT is also a drummer with no drums. He drums on the exercise bike. 😆 I never learned to drum and probably don't have the coordination but I dance anyhow.

Nice. Do you have any drums?

I'm rocking out with all my curtains open. I don't even care, anymore.

Do you know how to play drums?

Oh, come on! It's fun!

That makes me do a rock-out dance or sing really loud. What about you?

Congrats! You actually know you have a problem in this arena and can admit it. SO many people do not/can not. And as they say, knowing is half the battle, right? It is a big deal. It sounds like you are headed in a good direction. I have had these problems, myself. It sucks and I am sorry you...

I suspect that the purpose of my life is to serve as an example - right, wrong, or indifferent. But mission or self-created purpose? To reduce shame and fear in recovery from trauma and all of its bastard children (such as addiction and anxiety).

Welcome! There is a lot of wisdom and experience represented here. I hope you find the support you are looking for.

What a sap I am! I totally teared up reading this. 😂 I don't even know you but I am totally happy for you! 😁 This sounds really great. Love is wonderful.

Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment and could be the best thing you ever did for yourself. That's how I feel about my marriage. It has been the single most healing part of my existence. It's great to have a real ally. Best wishes for a great new life! 🐳

😂 That's what I would have guessed from the pictures. They look like fun.

Ok, so my last 18 months have been hard. Oh, heck, my last nearly 41 years have been hard but about 18 months ago, I injured myself in such a way that multiple pieces of soft tissue from my belly button down on my left side have been significantly affected, plus nerves, as well as several...

I find that if I do not like the work I am doing, I will fail at it, given some time. Waiting tables and laser engraving were that way. It's also been very hard for me to meet deadlines in these situations because of all the dragging I do just to get the work done. Being good at something and/or...
