    How do you handle overthinking to the point that it's driving you and everyone else crazy?

    For me I noticed that I haven’t been experiencing it as much as I did. I have also noticed that I no longer need sleep meds which I had to take or not sleep for the past 30 years. I have also noticed I am forgetting to take my anxiety medication fairly regularly. I take that as a good sign. I...

    The 1% thread - What can I / you do, to make our situation 1% better right now?

    The first thing is to drink some water. Getting outside always helps. Focusing on my breath helps reduce anxiety.

    The Cambridge Companion to Jorge Luis Borges. I am a big fan of Borges and I have quit a collection of books by Jim’s and about him. The fun never stops.

    Getting really dysregulated - after Covid Pandemic & inflation from Ukraine war, I'm dreading the beginning economic fallout from the Iran war

    Antony makes a good point, we do have a choice. We are bombarded with questionable content constantly and we can choose to disengage. It is a bit harder these days as just not watching TV doesn’t do it anymore. It seems to seep in from everywhere.

    Getting really dysregulated - after Covid Pandemic & inflation from Ukraine war, I'm dreading the beginning economic fallout from the Iran war

    One thing I do when I read the news is to say “interesting if true”. I try not to buy into all the sensationalist crap.

    Getting really dysregulated - after Covid Pandemic & inflation from Ukraine war, I'm dreading the beginning economic fallout from the Iran war

    I try to disengage from it all. I think the move in some countries to fire politicians for lying is a good start. I am powerless over the big picture but I do try to be the best person I can be on my micro level. I don’t have much hope for the future of humanity. One thing seems for sure, it...

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    Yet another motorcycle. I purchased a 1974 ty250 Yamaha totally on line. It is up in Washington State and I am in southern Arizona 8 miles from the Mexican border. I was going to have it shipped but the shipper messed up so I am driving to pick it up. Lulu and I are doing a road trip in the...

    Slow-motion passive suicide vs normal active suicide

    And then there is the concept of accidental suicide by engaging in dangerous activities. I don’t do a lot of dangerous stuff since I became aware of the concept. I am not sure my current indifference to life is SI or not. It is what it is.

    Possibility of homelessness. Lot of confusion.

    Hi and welcome. I am having an autism evaluation in May. A friend suggested it because she saw many autistic traits. I started reading about it and saw a ton more. I also have looked at my personal history and there are a lot of indicators there too. I’m hoping that more labels will help me find...

    What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

    I BBQed a steak for Lulu and I. I am trying to eat better but living alone it hardly seems worth the trouble cooking, particularly in the evening. Lulu approved of tonight’s dinner.

    A few more from Africa. The book shelves are new. I have over 20 boxes of books so I had to do something. I used to have over 50 boxes so I am improving.

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    Sometimes I feel the same way. I am very ignorant about who I am. It seems like if the trauma stuff was gone there would be nothing left. There is something going on in me I don’t understand. I have lots of anxiety but beneath that I am starting to wonder if there are boat loads of shame...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    And now the gal I have been dating is pissed at me for not obsessing on Epstein. I have enough nonsense in my head already, I don’t need to take on the daily political bickering.
