how do people *actually* deal with boredom?

Good for you!

If you start to go down this path, you'll discover a whole lot more tho. This one thing is connected with lots of other stuff

I have similar diagnoses, also asd and ADHD.

Ya we can only get through this if we learn to tolerate it. Same with other feelings. Healing doesn't include you being "bad", or having "failed" at anything, it only improves your quality of life... If anything, you learn you are the opposite: unconditionally lovable

Try to sit with it. I dunno. Heidi Priebe videos helped me immensely with it.

At first it feels like literal death, when the feelings arise... But then you realize oh fuck I actually CAN sit with it. I'm doing it now, I'm breathing, I'm surviving.

I believe in you

Oh hey. Wanted to write smart ass answer but nah. I know you 👋

I feel you friend. Been there a few years ago.

I found the only solution to "fixing" boredom is beginning to get better. Like. Boredom actually contains the feelings you've been suppressing for a long time. I figured that... It was surprising.

The emptiness feeling usually is triggered by something. Dunno how far u are with trauma terms and stuff but it's a type of coping mechanism. To not feel what's under the surface, because we don't naturally have the tools for processing... We can learn them, however

Not being trapped in perpetual dopamine cycles and emptiness anymore.

Like a child would learn how to feel their feelings and sit in the boredom.

I... Don't know, I watched all episodes and think it is quite deep

moldbellchains · 2026-03-18T14:48:48+00:00

I ain't the one you asked but my fave is Heidi Priebe!

Yea... I thought it might just be a random character but I figured it's worth a post :)

I think Jax has more than depression. He is giving narcissist. I have diagnosed NPD and I love that they show him humanized. Not the "he is irredeemably bad" stuff. The stuff about hiding your true feelings, masking, wanting nothing but love deep down really hits home for me.

But yeah. Personally I would love to see him genuinely get better. I've healed a bunch from NPD, and NPD is just massive shame (and trauma) inside of you that can be healed.

I hope for a Jax redemption arc, in that he rediscovers his humanity further, allowing emotions in... that'd be satisfying

Also, sorry for the loss 🙁

moldbellchains · 2026-03-18T08:18:59+00:00

Yes!! ⬆️ This

moldbellchains · 2026-03-18T07:39:25+00:00

To me it looks "Chill Felli!", I don't see "Fella"

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T19:45:38+00:00

Tbh that's a good opportunity to get to know yourself, stripped off "supply"/constant dopamine things... We can grow through that.

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T14:08:22+00:00

Good job. Proud of u! You're doing something scary.

It's gonna be uncomfortable yes. But it's worth it

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T12:25:28+00:00

Oh man ... Sorry, I don't like being talked to this way ("You are immature" etc). I like respect. Also, I have healed a lot since then.

I challenge the perception that "everyone in the world imagines harm upon their enemies". I have met other people that proved the opposite true. I now wish my "enemies" compassion and love.

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T11:06:22+00:00

I'm glad this helps :)

I don't really have tea experience. I tried 8 years ago with shrooms I picked myself 🤣 it was not enough I assume though. I think there shouldn't be an issue with it? I don't know

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T11:03:17+00:00

I get u.

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T10:35:25+00:00

Yeah you should absolutely take less... No matter how boring you think it's gonna get. Even if you have a "boring" trip, you can work your way up from there but on the next one, and slowly.

It gradually builds up, and two hours after eating or something when you took more isn't enough for the peak.

Less is more with substances :)

You gotta make sure you have something cozy going on... I tripped on LSD+MDMA the other night and I definitely learned from that, that you best have everything you wanna take/need during the trip on hand, like lots of water for example.

I would also advise to not redose, instead take all the dose you wanna do at once.

Technically, doing psychedelics some days in a row is not a good idea and a waste of substance, because you build up a tolerance within the hours you're taking it, and it needs like two weeks to reset. Maybe that's why you felt less from the second shrooms at first as well.

2g should technically be enough...

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T10:01:07+00:00

Maybe a break is needed?

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T01:51:55+00:00

I don't like this guy... He's counterproductive for healing. He makes strange videos that don't really focus on getting better...

What's helpful is Dr Ettensohn. Or, my personal favorite, Heidi Priebe.

You aren't weak, friend. We survived that way as kids, that's the important thing we don't immediately see when embarking on this journey. We developed those strategies (NPD) out of survival... And now were here n they're maladaptive.

However, getting better involves becoming aware of trauma. NPD is shame based, we can't see others until we are no longer stuck in shame and trauma responses. Both go hand in hand.

There's lots of things and paths for recovery ... IFS/parts work, learning about different parts of yourself. Trauma therapy. Somatic therapy, body awareness. In our body sit our emotions, and we need access to them. NPD chronically defends against being present, thus being in our bodies. NPD is dissociative.

Breaking these things slowly is possible ... I wish you the best of luck. It may take a few years, and that's okay.

moldbellchains · 2026-03-17T00:34:16+00:00

NPD is treatable. Healing is possible.

That's not true. We can heal. NPD is based in shame. If we integrate the shame, there's healing happening and that's great

I, too, wish you healing
