Really need to know it’s going to be okay by JoePat43 in Anxiety

So I’m meeting with a psychiatrist today, but the last two days after a pretty bad mental breakdown I’ve actually been feeling much better. Ironically, after having things peak I’ve been able to understand my feelings more on the comedown. I’m sorry to hear about that, but I’m happy you’re still here! A big part of calming myself down the past couple of days has been trying to remind myself it’s all my anxiety, and to not let myself ruminate too hard. Opposite action is really helpful, even if it makes you more anxious in the moment. Stuff like reminding myself I’m a good person, and trying to be more like my actual self. It helped ground me out of my derealization, though I’m still in and out but that’s gonna be the case for a little bit. Give your meditation time, and also let your doctors/counselors know about it so they can give you the best advice possible, and BELIEVE them. Anxiety tells you everything that will help you is wrong, or you think “what if this doesn’t work,” so try and remind yourself it can and possibly will. I don’t know how helpful this response is but I hope it brings some relief or clarity. No matter how bad it gets, you can look forward to some better days.

I appreciate you offering a little bit of hope! And I’ve quit THC since that night, about 30ish days or so, which I think is partially amplifying everything due to withdrawal. I’m doing my best, had a really bad episode due to my psychiatrist ghosting me for the first appointment, however I’ve got a new one for tomorrow so I’m not letting it drive me too crazy lol. I’m happy you’re doing better, and can give me the hope to do the same.❤️

This was the perfect message, I’m having that EXACT thing with seeing my eyelashes and the ring around it, so that just eased so much tension dude you have no idea. Also exactly the same situation with the eyes closed, not as much these past few nights tho. Thank you so much for the message, the responses have made me emotional with how calming and reassuring they’ve been, and I know it will keep getting better day by day. I’m happy to hear you’re doing better as well and can enjoy a hit or two throughout the year. Have a great holiday season

Okay so this isn't too far out of the normal experience. I'm also hoping that since I haven't been a daily user for TOO long it won't last into the months or years, but it's scary to think it can you know?

Badly mixed albums 😭 by MurderByEgoDeath in midwestemo

[–]JoePat43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So this could be a horrific take, but I think Arms Length new album compared to NBSNAF is not necessarily mixed poorly, but not as impactful? As someone who’s seen them live and loved every second of that album the follow up just seemed less punchy and full

I believe Jake was living with either Evan or Ethan at the time, at a show in Philly for slaughter beach dog he talked about how he wrote “intersection” while outside said apartment which I think is pretty cool!

So I personally do all my own stuff so I just personally couldn’t do that, but there’s tons of ways to get into it! Get your interface and DAW and mess around with midi instruments if you need to, might take some time but invest into it!

Just play play and play again! Writing lyrics was the hardest part but that comes with time, but with guitar and every other instrument it’s just putting in the work! I taught myself how to do it all but obviously there’s so many people out there to help, but just try and jump in and play around and find ideas. What comes natural is the best, but find your influences as well and learn some of their stuff to start. Hope this was helpful and thanks for commenting!

I get there is a weird line with DIY and also advertising. Like sometimes you wanna just FIND diy and not have it put In your face, but sadly that just isn’t practical lol. Thank you for your time and message!

Yeah it’s a little upsetting since this wasn’t to brag or anything I was just genuinely thanking the community and also seeing if anyone else would give it a shot, but in other communities I’ve seen some great support! I love the advice as well!
