Why???
I constantly have to acknowledge that I'm mentally torturing myself, and force myself to stop. Idk why my mind seems to enjoy that activity so much.
The first step to stopping catastrophising is realising you're doing it in real time, so well done
The brain story telling again...
I guess that's why we have alcohol, but it's such a shitty drug
Edit: Holy shit, I didn't realise I'd start this... Good to hear folks sharing what works
The Sleep Foundation has a lot to say about that. Seems relatively positive.
THC def better, but if I really need sleep the combo of the two is best. Just have to be careful with timing and amounts. THC keeps the dreams away.
For me, alcohol makes the stuff in the OP 1000x worse. I guess I'm doing it wrong because in not drinking until I literally black out, but idk how I'm supposed to do that and hold down a job.
EZ, you just feel physically horrible 100% of the time that you're not drunk.
Prepares you for the real thing...
I feel like this is the biggest reason. I used to daydream about getting cancer and dying young and shit, it used to terrify me as a younger man who never wanted to die.
Now at 30 years old, the only thing that scares me is the possibility of reincarnation and having to do this again lol, our brains condition us to get over our fears if we let them.
It's like watching TV, but in your head
A lil pregame
The fuckin' Reddit TikTok bots just exacerbate that shit too
People do this?
Hmm... goes to show how incredibly different inner lives people can have.
I don't recognize this at all and it sounds like a very strange thing to me.
It's normal life to a lot of us. Poor mental health is a pandemic of its own.
Litterally me rn crying about my cat is gon a die one day.
Imagine a giant taking care of you since you were born. Playing with you when you were a kid. Giving you a nice bed and plenty of food, caring for you. And watching over you when you grow old.
