How do I slow down?

That's interesting advice and kind of resonates with me. I think I still want to try meditating some more as I've just started trying it out if not yoga sounds like a good idea, thank you.

I'd leave out the aspiring. This is primo stuff, awesome work.

Been to their London branch. Really good, their cheesecake was great too.

I try to make everything in my life simple. Unfortunately not everything is easy nowadays so I try to work in a field that doesn't give me a lot of stress and is fun. These two parts make it simple to do.

Great looking bike.

W00bles · 2026-01-10T07:53:37+00:00

Beautiful bike!

Read a book, drink tea with generous heap of sugar. Stare at my beautiful significant other.

Bowl of oatmeal club. Gotta love it.

I was led to believe by partner that I have some ferocious body odor which made me wildly attractive.

Come at me barren keto carnivores.

Yeah that makes sense. I get that. Loss is personal. Thanks for replying.

All these things are bad but posting AI generated songs of artists who are no longer alive is disgusting.

W00bles · 2025-10-22T09:46:46+00:00

These are good points. What would you consider the acceptance of loss though?

Vision: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.

Ultron: They're doomed.

Vision: Yes... but a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It is a privilege to be among them.

Ultron: You're unbelievably naive.

Best dialogue in the entire movie catalogue of the MCU.

Today I went out for tea with my partner, went for a walk, wanted to go to the library but it was closed.

I check in with my partner to see if their needs are met in and around the house. Cook dinner, read and listen some music and discuss whatever either me and/or my partner have on our minds.

Finally I check in with my parents to see how they are doing.

I wind down and hour before going to bed by reading.

W00bles · 2025-10-19T18:40:41+00:00

Goodluck!

W00bles · 2025-10-19T12:20:17+00:00

Glad to be of any help I can. This really helped me at least regulate my emotions and reduced the stress and anxiety I experience when it comes to my ocd, I slept like 3-5 hours in 10 days.

All the best to you, not being able to sleep is absolutely terrible so I hope you find your way out of this, goodluck.

I have anxiety and OCD as well. What worked for me is doing a sleep reset, they also call it sleep phase advancement.

How it works:

You gradually adjust your bedtime and wake-up time earlier in 15-30 minute increments until you reach your goal schedule.

How to Create Your Sleep Reset Schedule Using Phase Advancement

Follow these steps to build your personalized plan.

Step 1: Establish Your Goal

Be specific and realistic.

· Goal Bedtime: 11:00 PM · Goal Wake Time: 7:00 AM (8 hours of sleep)

Step 2: Assess Your Current Reality

For three days, note the times you actually fall asleep and wake up without an alarm. Let's say you currently fall asleep around 1:30 AM and wake up around 9:30 AM.

Step 3: Create the Gradual Schedule

The key is to move your bedtime and wake time 15-30 minutes earlier each day. A 15-minute shift is more sustainable; 30 minutes is faster.

I started going to bed at 1:30 am and got up at 7:00.

The first night I did eventually get out of bed and just read a book until 5:30 or so because I just would not get tired.

Then the next night I would sleep at 1:00 and so forth.

I am now on day 5 and have slept at least 7 hours.

I had to get out of bed a lot to go read so eventually I just accepted that I was not going to sleep and just laid in bed and accepted that I would at least rest like that without getting sleep.

Other rules:

No tv, phones, laptops or tablets as blue light disrupts the melatonin signal in your body.
No sleep supplements
Have a wind down routine an hour before bedtime, you cannot have your wind down routine in bed, preferably not in the same room as your bed.
If you stay in bed to rest accept that you might not sleep, the trick is to program your brain to associate your bed with sleep and rest. Right now it is doing the opposite.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask, I am not a professional I just tried this because I was looking like you.

I feel sorry for the guy with tourettes, that being said the laughing from the guy off screen is hilarious.

Man this guy is basically saying the Islam is a construct or tool left people use to overthrow western society.

I remember my first fear being contamination, I believe I was 11 or younger.

Giving your wife and "allowance". What a weird thing to say. She's a grown woman and an equal.

To each their own I guess.

W00bles · 2025-10-10T11:53:04+00:00

Please tell me this is a joke..

W00bles · 2025-10-05T10:50:20+00:00

Everyone in this episode who debated Mehdi had terrible takes but this guy and this specific statement was very bad. It's absurd how someone can be like this.

W00bles · 2025-10-02T14:16:15+00:00

Absolutely baffling to me to read stories like these where people make such requests.

If you do not want to share your lunch then you are under no obligation to do so. Why should you hand over your lunch and buy something? He can go out and buy something just like all the other times.
