Date: March 13th, 2017 2:02 PM Author: vivacious senate masturbator Have so much I need to do and no desire to do any of it. Paralyzed and frozen, just want to lay in bed and wallow. Not sure where I would be without my 180 puppydood that hangs right by me during these funks and seems to get it. Fuck man, need to drive past this somehow.

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:05 PM Author: vivacious senate masturbator Exercise helps me tremendously but I seem to only be capable of doing it in spurts. The internet and social media are scud missile level toxic (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3551815&forum_id=2#32819627) |
|
Date: March 13th, 2017 2:09 PM Author: vermilion stag film french chef This is why the edible weed helps. It draws you to things that you give you real joy (spirituality, exercise, music, friends and family) and away from things that give you fake joy (internet, social media, and other forms of empty time wasting).

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:08 PM Author: Up-to-no-good Arousing Electric Furnace You need to talk to the people that you think you owe work to. The idea that you can "just do it" is FLAME right now - you are quite plausibly in a shame loop, and the way to break out of it is to get an outside evaluation of your state. Nobody irl will be as harsh on you as you are being on yourself.
You deserve to be happy! Believe me. |

|
Date: March 13th, 2017 2:20 PM Author: Up-to-no-good Arousing Electric Furnace You feel ashamed. This feeling of inadequacy saps your ability to do work, since working activates your shame schema. You form the thought that if you could just do work you could get out of the shame. You try to work and fail due to shame. The loop deepens.
The solution is to talk to people honestly, remove yourself from work for a time, and set yourself up for success, rather than failure.
Shame leads to social withdrawal, but social withdrawal only magnifies shame, as you have no outside info to correct your negative self-evaluation.
If you can objectively analyze the pattern, you can come up with LOOP BREAKERS - novel activities, like "confessing" that you've lost the plot, resetting expectations, and working at a lower keel for a time -- that will help you get back on the horse.
YOU GET TO CHANGE YOUR STORY
But it will take tremendous courage! Good luck |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:48 PM Author: Up-to-no-good Arousing Electric Furnace Okay, but you won't get any pride or sense of accomplishment for it. Those long bursts of work are powered by abject terror, and will leave you hollowed out and dead inside. It is fully possible to do all that work and more in a balanced way, that nourishes you and grows your skills and self-respect, without requiring you to flog yourself!

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:47 PM Author: rusted messiness nursing home No I just don't want to be one of those weirdos who blames all their problems on one thing. If I could just stop doing X everything would be okay! I know that's not the case. It's not just alcohol people do this with. I've heard people do it with tons of other shit, from coffee, to working out, to losing 10 lbs, to giving up video games, to getting into a relationship or out of one. It's absurd. I probably should scale my drinking back a little bit but for the most part I don't think I'm at unhealthy levels. I drink 2 days a week man lol (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3551815&forum_id=2#32820009) |

It's rough hang in there, life can be terrible. |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:24 PM Author: vivacious senate masturbator If you don't mind me asking, what caused it? For me it has typically been the confluence of work and professional life shitiness occurring at the same time.
What got you through it both times? |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:29 PM Author: Naked poppy den son of senegal 1st time my mom was in a coma for years during my teenage years
2nd time was when I lost a quarter million dollars
point is it was all due to shitty things out of my control, but I learned how to deal with it, the biggest take away I got that altering your philosophy is key. If those things happened to me again I would be ok the 2nd time around.
Also weed saved my life, recommend it as medicine |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:35 PM Author: vivacious senate masturbator How did you alter your philosophy? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3551815&forum_id=2#32819914) |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:44 PM Author: Naked poppy den son of senegal You have to find and get rid of your toxic behaviors
A lot of these are stupid things society ingrains you. E.g. the toxic idea of comparing ourselves to each other, thinking money is the only measure of success, etc when in reality we are just a bunch of hairless apes with luck being the main factor of who gets all the nice things. You need to be happy in whatever situation life throws at you and just have the ability to laugh it all off at the end of the day. Knowledge is power and the truth will set you free. |

Date: March 13th, 2017 2:41 PM Author: vermilion stag film french chef Elaborate on the weed part.
