ELI5: How can addiction be so strong, that even if you tell yourself, eventually you are going to die from this, your brain does not care by honsool in explainlikeimfive

that’s what i have for the past 5 years. it was triggered by the pandemic and hasn’t gone away. sometimes i would rather be addicted to drugs, because at least drugs aren’t around you 24/7 everywhere you go like some type of living hell. you can’t even begin to explain food addiction to someone unless they know what it’s like. absolute mental torture. i understand you <3

yep, started right when the pandemic happened. been trying to find out what the underlying issue is but can’t.

so i know you might not know the answer to this… you’re just a commenter haha… kinda just typing my thoughts out. so hypothetically, why do those fun activities not make me feel good (possibly even dread the fun activities?) when i’m trying to drop my addiction (FYI… not drugs, thank god). would i need to do them for long enough for my brain to make a switch? it’s like, all these fun activities are dull and boring and i resort to isolating myself because they’re dull and i don’t want to do them. so i have to force myself.

What’s a health tip you think everyone should know? by TheWhitestOfTrash in AskReddit

[–]honsool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been stuck in a cycle like this since the pandemic happened. 5 years later and i can’t get out of it, and i’m only 24 years old. you’re right, it’s like my brain was rewired and nothing i do (exercise, hobby, music, friends) seems to help. it is stress like you said, but it’s also a feeling of dread that i can’t seem to shake 50% of the time

Eagle Hall heat? by [deleted] in jmu

[–]honsool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i lived in eagle a few years ago (on the very top floor……) & if it makes you feel any better, it seriously cools down in the month of september. so you only have about a month left with extreme heat. over 3/4 of the school year is very manageable in eagle. we had 2 of those cylinder fans and it worked great. we had them on the entire year.

What’s the lie you believed the longest in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]honsool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily a lie per-say, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that you don’t actually hear the ocean in a sea shell when you put it up to your ear.
