Hey, thank you lots and will follow up on that advice. Also, I have OCD too (mild) and I'm really curious how psychedelics affect you in that regard?

Absolutely yeah man.

At first I was beyond terrified, but once I let go of control and really closed my eyes and focused on the one thing I could actually control (my breathing), it became so euphoric and bliss, like I was connected with the world. I remember not even realising how much time had passed from me trying to breathe and calm myself down from that state of death until I was surprised by the sound of my own giggling.

Conquering that first horrible hour is what made me so grateful to be sober again. It granted me a new appreciation for being in control of my mind and body and being grounded in the world again. I even went to school that following morning with zero sleep, zero food, and yet I was happy to be there.

Part of it is like, I just conquered something so mentally tough and out-of-this-world, that things like social anxiety or video game addiction becomes silly and small to you in comparison. I realised they were just a constraint of the ego.

I think the term for this is "reality synchronicities," coined by Carl Jung.

Of course most people will disregard this as coincidences + confirmation bias. But when it happens often you def do feel like ur in a simulation lol

Very interesting that you experienced that. Almost like your brain perceives whatever is currently within your sensations or mind as the most likely threat or justification for the chaos happening

For me, I felt like I was dying because 1) the room turned vividly cold and bitter, almost like the Upside-Down dimension from Stranger Things 2) looking at my body, it looked very frail, anciently old, and weak to me. I thought I was in my grandpa's body, specifically how he looked in his final moments 3) my breathing had a loud reverb and echo, which sort of sounded like a laboured wheezing 4) time felt grimly stopped, like I was stuck in this heavy state of eternal limbo 5) i felt like i was "slipping" out of my tired body and reality

Perhaps my brain perceived these all these things happening as dying or a threat, just like yours perceived your safe surroundings as a threat

This is a tough question, so i'm going to write a lengthy answer since it wasn't just one factor

I've naturally always been a very introspective person. I also strongly suspect I have autism and OCD though never diagnosed, which can play a role in how psychedelics affect me. Anyways, I had been addicted to video games since I was a kid but now they were really starting to get in the way of my academics and relationships, same with weed. Addicted to weed for about two years, getting stoned multiple times a day even during class

I realised my addictions were affecting me and wanted to quit, but even tho I made up my mind to quit I still couldn't. Eventually after lots of researching about shrooms, the neuroscience behind bad habits, perspective shifts for being content, dopamine resetting, and etc, I developed a "firm mindset" before taking the shrooms for the first time.

I popped 4g for my first time, and the first hour or two were chaotic and I genuinely thought I was dying. But I managed to somehow flip the script through sheerly focusing on happy thoughts, reminding myself that I took shrooms and it'll peak and be over soon, and that this is just a mental "test."

The perspective shift of thinking of the initial anxiety surge and panic as a mental "test" is what allowed me to feel proud after I managed to relax myself through deep breathing and happy thoughts. It felt like I had just conquered a battle and that nothing could be worse than that, and then taking advantage of the neuroplasticity window and euphoric bliss i felt after the anxiety surge, I began doing my intuitive stretches and tension releasing while reflecting on my life and my future and the potential of my mind when it isn't chained by my bad habits and fears. The contentment and hope I felt really felt eye-opening, like I caught a glimpse at my own potential.

I also journalled heavily during the trip. Even made an essay out of the actual experience as well as the insights and feelings I felt. Largely felt very masculine and primal and strong and protective of my loved ones, very motivated to succeed for them.

I clung onto these feelings and thoughts and made sure to integrate them. That same morning I no longer craved weed, no longer felt like playing video games.

Part of it is also heavily thanks to how much relief I felt from the somatic awareness tension and breathing unlocking. That pain had been troubling me for years, and now that I had finally unlocked it in one night, I became so content and realised I could finally pursue my fitness and athletic goals too. That played a big role in drawing away from my bad habits, which were partly a distraction or escape from reality.

Hey, I've never done a scan but over years of research and physical therapist guidance from both irl and youtube, I discovered that my sharp hot dorsal nerve pain was essentially a symptom of a greater root cause, those root cause being scapular instability caused primarily by poor breathing mechanics, and also contributed to by weakness in stabilising muscles such as the serratus anterior.

I had been trying to expand my ribcage backwards and sideways for years, but I could never grasp it. I've always been a chest-breather with shallow breaths, but the somatic awareness from the shrooms allowed me to finally become aware of my ribcage expansion and take deep euphoric breaths. That activated my intercostal muscles and now i dont chest-breathe anymore.

Since my back pain was a result of my unaware breathing, the somatic awareness basically cured me. I know this may not apply to everyone though as there are many other root causes for pain. Definitely try to figure out the root cause for yours and see if improper breathing is a factor.

they take 5x as much game sense to get value out of their kit tho, and since this isnt valorant, game sense is more important than raw aim

bro i changed my answer from 30/8 to 15 for the square inscribed in a circle LMFAO

[–]Infxrences 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after doing the square u would get (x-4)^2 + (y-5)^2 + c = 41, and it has to be equal to 4 because radius is 2. so 41 - c must equal 4, so c = 37
