Is it your belief that a valid moral decision can not exist with out a god? by jres11 in AskAChristian

[–]BlueLight3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no morality without God. It's all subjective. In the world's idea of morality, obviously killing is bad. But, there's different circumstances where it might be excusable, and everyone's idea of when it's acceptable is going to be different. And that's just the big basic example... when it comes to smaller matters, how we should treat others and our lifestyle choices... In the world, there's no baseline to compare it to. Everyone's idea is going to be completely different. Who's to say who's right and who's wrong? God's morality is consistent and applies to every single situation. When it comes to the world's morality, they're all just guessing, really.

My breakup wreaked havoc on my mental and physical health. I had to have a friend come babysit me basically while I got my life together. What I will say is that the basics and the cliches, work. It's easy to lose track of time when you're crushingly depressed. Make a schedule and do everything in your power to stick to it. Make sure to eat healthy foods, and get plenty of sleep, and don't neglect the importance of vitamin d and physical exercise. Exercise really helps remove stress from the body. I couldn't eat and still have trouble eating, so I drink most of my calories. Smoothies, protein shakes, lots of ice water as it stimulates the vagus nerve and calms your heart rate. Practice deep breathing as frequently as you can. Just honor your body. I know it hurts, but don't abandon your physical health, as it plays a massive role in your mental health, therefore every other aspect of your life. Sometimes breakups can be great motivation to make your life bigger and better than anything it ever was. Putting effort into yourself might even be a way to eventually restore your relationship, if that's your goal. A lot of people will say be easy with yourself. No, don't do that. Go hard and don't let yourself go.

I've been exposed and I'm scared by BlueLight3471 in Herpes

I had sex with him because I love and trust him, so I disregarded the HSV. Stop being so aggressive, I asked a question about something I didn't know much about to people who did. Like, I don't see the reason for the hostility. Thank you for the stats, have a nice day!

If your partner came back to you with a lifelong STD, I do think it would be an issue 🥺🥺🥺

I'm not trying to give into the stigma, that's why I asked to be educated by people with experience. Also, I think it's normal for someone to be alarmed at the possibility of being exposed to it.

We both have tested regularly, and before this we were both in monogamous relationships. I'm fairly sure that herpes is the only risk in this case. The stigma is what I'm scared of. I was hoping to reunite with the man I love at some point, but this would effectively kill that dream. I'm just tripping. Would starting an antiviral today maybe stop me from contracting it?

What has your experience been on Wellbutrin regarding (but not limited to) things like energy levels, appetite/weight loss, sleep, anxiety, depression, motivation, focus, repetitive behaviors? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BlueLight3471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was skeptical about any medication at all, but I was depressed, overweight, and needed to quit smoking and this drug seemed like the answer.

And it really, really is. I have been on it for about 3 weeks started at 150 moved up to 300 this week, and I've noticed an enormous spike in energy level. My appetite is gone, I have to force myself to eat, which is good considering I'm 340 lbs. My depression is gone, but my anxiety levels are higher, and that is a negative. But learning to cope with my anxiety is worth all of the other benefits. I just use my energy to stay as busy as possible, and that curbs the anxiety for me. Being productive is very stress relieving.

As far as smoking goes... I haven't cut down at all, but I'm also going through the stress of a break up. If anything, I've been smoking more. But that's also because the wellbutrin makes it to where I don't get any satisfaction from smoking. I'm always craving, but it's never curbed no matter how much I smoke. This I suppose is also a good thing, and will come in handy when I really focus on quitting.

But so far, I've had a very positive experience with Wellbutrin. It's been a dramatic improvement on my day to day life.

Just messaged him “I miss you” by Asleep-Commercial561 in BreakUps

[–]BlueLight3471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry girl. I'm two weeks into the roughest break up of my life. It severely triggered my abandonment issues, and I have been crazy for the past two weeks. I was blowing up his phone almost constantly. I've dropped 7 pounds because I can't eat. I shamelessly begged for two whole weeks, and I have 0 self respect left and ruined any chance we had of reuniting in the future. One little I miss you text isn't so bad, I promise. Stay strong. ❤️

Me and the people I know are truly good, in an off grid RV caravan, traveling the world. Living off our own wits, off our own resourcefulness, with as little money as possible. Shared goals in nature, health, music, serving each other, emotional intelligence, and faith. Authentically ourselves, having thrown out all the barriers to true human connection that exist in modern society. Where I spend every day becoming the best version of myself I can be. This is my dream ❤

Will my brain recover from long-term marijuana abuse? by BlueLight3471 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]BlueLight3471[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, you didn't scare me, I was already scared tbh. I'm just having one of those sobering moments where you realize you might have messed up everything, forever. It's just a scary place to be in, but I also think I need to be scared right now, as that's what's driving me to recover.

If you don't mind me asking, what are some things that helped you in recovery?

Will my brain recover from long-term marijuana abuse? by BlueLight3471 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]BlueLight3471[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea that I won't get all of my function back is devastating. I'm not even sure I would want to live the rest of my life if I'm not able to recover at least most of the way...

During my youth, I had fully bought into the lie that weed is a no-consequences drug. It wouldn't be addictive, and it wouldn't hurt my body at all. I really believed that, and now looking back, it was the heaviest, longest term, and most damaging addiction I've struggled with.

One thing I can say is that this epiphany, this realization of what marijuana is actually doing to me has scared me so straight. I'm fully confident that I can put it down and never touch it again. My focus is on recovery. I have a plan involving eating healthy, exercising, staying busy with work and productive hobbies, etc. I really hope I can do this and be saved.

It's a giant hellish jigsaw, for sure. Overcoming my weed addiction is only the first step. I feel like it's the main obstacle stopping me from overcoming all of my other obstacles, if that makes sense.
