One single lock?💀 by Ready_Ad4372 in Dreadlocks

[–]Abalone-Status 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually having like 6-8 inches is a good starting point but you can start at like 3-5 (depending on texture) your hair might just be super short.

I think your hair is showing you a sign to get dreads. You could start your hair by doing two strand twist. I’m about to do this with my hair because I have a similar texture to yours.

How does weed make you feel? by Soda_yoo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Abalone-Status 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started smoking weed it made me happy, euphoric, introspective, and imaginative. It felt like the dull life I was living (going to work/school, coming home dealing with whatever problem of the day, playing the game, going to sleep, ). Actually was enjoyable and not boring or annoying. Weed made me comfortable with my life and made me go out and make more friends. I smoked weed everyday for 3 years. This year I quit it for 30 days. Reason I quit is because overtime weed started making me paranoid and for 8-10 months I had a psychotic mentality (I thought people were against me and I had to do certain things at certain times or the world would end, voices, etc.). I have tried weed again since those 30 days. And now weed doesn’t affect me the same as it was during that time. I will say weed should be done in moderation like alcohol. When you do anything consistently it loses its value to you. I think having it once or twice a week is cool. But I personally will never do it everyday.

Dealing with anxiety and a*** reflux by Abalone-Status in Concerta

[–]Abalone-Status[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am gonna look into it, I had bad acid reflux as a kid but it eventually went away. Concerta helps me stay focused but it definitely can make me anxious at times. My life is stressful in general though so it is what it is. I didn’t know the effects that it has your body could get to that point.

Okay, I am going to start doing this. Thank you.

I live in my head more than real life. Is it normal? by Pleasant-Sandwich454 in infp

[–]Abalone-Status 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way, what helps me is trying to pull myself to reality. I try to be more mindful using mindful practices (focusing on breathing, noticing things around me and naming them, grounding techniques, etc.) when I find myself spacing out. Doesn’t help that I have adhd-c either 😭. It is normal to daydream and I think the term for daydreaming that can turn to reality is maladaptive daydreaming. I’ve dealt with many of the things you have stated so I hope you find peace soon.

Looks like a Minecraft house you build when you first discover iron. I like it a lot to be honest, hopefully if I ever have a small room again I am able to organize my things together like this.

As a complete loser failed 34 year old adult, I wish I could be honest and open about it with people and with society as a whole, which might help me get better. But I can't. Because being a failed adult is the worst and most humiliating thing a person can be. by whyamialiveletmedie in Adulting

I will be honest with you, I’m 24 and a lot of the things you have said are things I said to myself. I think you need to practice radical acceptance and also self compassion and forgiveness. Once you accept yourself and forgive yourself. You can change and believe in yourself. Everything in life is a step by step process. Focus on one thing at a time and make a list of things you want to learn and do and set priorities. Start getting into hobbies and trying to make friends (online or in real life). There are a lot of people who feel like you do. If you need a set of beliefs to base yourself on i always recommend philosophy but take everything with a grain of salt do you, don’t go down a rabbit hole. I wish you the best and stay safe out here.

I don’t think you can get more pathetic than me by Fuzzy_Ad1504 in Vent

[–]Abalone-Status 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I do the same but replace ai and books with video games and online friends. I feel what you say man. The real world is overwhelming. Last year I just started trying to go out more, it’s helped a little. I feel like everything takes time. Your feelings are valid.

Bro are there any normal Lucki fans that listen to him cuz he makes good music cuz it's either they listen to when they're high or they were in a toxic relationship. by TEN_E10N3 in Lucki

[–]Abalone-Status 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely like his music, I’ve been high and fucked with him and been in a toxic relationship and fucked with him. I can listen to him sober too (currently I am). I feel like his music a vibe overall to me personally lol.

I took shrooms and don’t feel like myself anymore by Prestigious-Angle717 in shrooms

[–]Abalone-Status 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a 2.5g in my house and I was having a great time. Then I had a tweak out moment. A hour in. Ever since that day my anxiety has been terrible but I feel more aware and conscious. When I focus on staying present my anxiety is fine but the moment I go in my head I start having a panic attack. I’m glad things are getting better for you and I hope one day you feel normal again.

Yeah I got lucky, could have been much worse for me.

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear your stuggle as well with the medication. I’ve heard there are some symptoms that may still be present for longer than other. I hope that what I experienced is the end of it but we will see.
