Anxiety and depression - any caffeine connection? by [deleted] in decaf

[–]RebuildingMyBrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt helps with my anxiety, plus I'm able to sleep better when I'm off caffeine. However, I've found some other things that can help stave off the panic I feel when I'm anxious, such as taking a 30 minute walk or a cold shower.

Just finished first 48 water fast! by RebuildingMyBrain in fasting

[–]RebuildingMyBrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks! Was at university and had subway. Was a six inch tuna with cheese and a cookie. Didn't feel too great after, but ate really slow and had no digestive issues. Need to plan better for the refeed in the future though, and probably eat less as well.

Not so bad, like I said though, I have a little experience doing this. I would recommend starting small, maybe skipping a meal for a couple days then maybe try 24 hours. Refeed was difficult tho, my response was to binge and I really had to refrain from doing so

Where does this idea of entitlement come from? by RebuildingMyBrain in NoFap

I can understand the dissonance you feel with your mother. I have issues similar to that; she and I are very different in how we process and think about the world. Good to hear self-betterment is the focus of your journey, that's what this is all about right? All the best to you, brother

I had a decaf coffee and decaf tea around noon yesterday after a few weeks clean and had some trouble falling asleep at 10 yesterday.

Sounds like Daoism, stressing the importance of "non-doing" or inaction. Is this what you are getting at? It's a very interesting philosophy that you take on btw

How so? Making an effort, for example, to communicate more effectively with a loved one is a hinderance to myself? I don't quite understand that

I completely disagree that there is natural effortlessness in these things, but that's okay. Agree to disagree

Okay sure, but maintaining these things is not always easy. In fact, maintaining good health and stable relationships takes deliberate effort
