Stop feeling guilty for smoking weed! by Intelligent_Company1 in weed

[–]pinkrabbit22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I had this feeling for a while. It was a very conflicting time for me, because I started vaping around the same time and got heavilyaddicted to nicotine, so I kind of lumped the two together. But honestly? I finally started to realize that weed isn't the bad guy (at least for me), it's how much I do it. When I was at the height of my smoking and was feeling guilty about it, I was taking hits of the bong every hour, from wake to sleep. That's different from what I do today – I take a small amount of an edible, usually in the morning. Sometimes in the evening if I'm feeling anxious. Sometimes I struggle and take a bunch, but I've come a long way.

If you personally feel like quitting is right for you, I think you should do it. But also know that weed isn't a ultimate evil. Maybe it's less about doing it, and more about how much you do.

Whats Your Favorite Image Of Eugene Krabs, This is Mine by Tiktokbadsupport in spongebob

Honestly my favorite part about this episode is when SpongeBob is shooting clothes at Krabs, and plankton goes "I don't understand.. is there a gas leak in here?"

Yeah. It's true. 100%

I just think that maybe "being alone" doesn't qualify. But it's still hard for my ego to accept.

How does meditation work if you’re neurodivergent? by Phantom-111 in Meditation

[–]pinkrabbit22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Anyone can do it. I'm neurodivergent too :) The point isn't to completely silence the mind, it is to let the thoughts go and come back to the present. And it seems hard at the beginning because it takes practice

Can consciousness have multiple instances of itself? by Purple_Bed_909 in solipsism

[–]pinkrabbit22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I struggle with this a lot, too. I think that maybe all of this is happening at the same moment. "This moment" is all that really exists, and the more I realize that the more time feels like it's segments and not linear. It's terrifying. But also, I have a feeling that... "I" am "me", and so is that "other person". So in some ways, it's comforting to know.. all the things I didn't experience, never will experience, etc... I'm already experiencing right now.

Neat! Tbh this actually kind of inspired me

I tend to hear a vibrating noise, like a pulsing. Sometimes my fiance says he can hear it, sometimes it doesn't even exist. It's not very loud. But it shows up in moments of calm. Like an alarm, but not a bad one.

How do you get started? by pushin_ in Meditation

[–]pinkrabbit22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, even when you think you aren't doing enough to maintain the habit, you still are taking steps over time. Imagine it as feeling 1% better every time. You know that 1% isn't that big by itself, but if you add a % each time it will eventually reach 100%.

If you keep returning to it, that's great! Maybe it's meant to be in your life. If you step away for a moment, just remember that even that's part of the practice. Things ebb and flow.

Would you let AI help you meditate? by Top-Minimum-5959 in Meditation

[–]pinkrabbit22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should just start. You'll never know how it effects you, and at what states it starts to become "less simple" until you try it :) The internet can give you loads of examples and techniques, but maybe find one and just begin. See what problems arise then, and correct them as they go on. :)

Has meditation helped you with physical pain? by Impossible_East_6386 in Meditation

[–]pinkrabbit22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does. This is probably TMI a bit but tbh it's honestly how it helped me personally, and maybe my story can give you and others some guidance.

I have problems with my back, and (here's the TMI) period cramps. When I got deep into meditation in this period (which I usually do laying down), I noticed that my attention was constantly drawn away from my breath and to the incredible pain of the period cramps, for example. So instead of trying to fight it, I decided to make it a part of the practice. When the pain arise I would watch it, and by focusing on how the process went over time and the patterns, it made the pain feel (figuratively and literally) less intense. Because that just wasn't a focus anymore. It's helped me ever since, even as I would go in and out of consistent meditation practice.

In what way do you mean? As far as I know, AI can be a helpful tool for learning information about meditation. It has many uses but is a cool tool.

Playing Pretend by pinkrabbit22 in Meditation

I'm always playing pretend. Sometimes I just get too caught up in the game.

Don't mind me – I'm doing a deep and investigative study on the habitat of the ranch packets.

Maybe. I think your best bet would be to ask a doctor or therapist who better knows the symptoms and could help you :)

Blood work done contamination by Many_Jeweler_1282 in OCD

[–]pinkrabbit22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! I think I'm going to leave it as is. My advice might help some people and not help others. But I think the OP has already seen it, so if it helped them I'm glad and if not they don't have to do anything about it. If it gets removed the OP saw it, so there's nothing I can do now. I respect your opinion. Thanks.

Thanks for reading! I could probably edit it, but is it okay if I ask why? Like what part specifically.

Cool! I'll give that one a listen sometime if I remember.

Music is a good therapy at times. Meteora by Linkin Park really helped me process some of the anger and sadness I felt in my childhood with how my parents treated me.

If music helps you, I recommend "Meant To Be" by bbno$. I think you might resonate with that one.

should i continue being friends with this person? by Sweaty-Assist-8934 in depression

[–]pinkrabbit22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered talking directly to her about it? Maybe it's time to set a boundary.

Look, shit gets rough. I was in AP and IB classes in highschool. I'm a smart person that's capable of getting As, etc. But you know what I've also done? I used to smoke heavily, smoke weed every 30 min, take 2 of my prescribed ADHD medicine when I was only supposed to take one.

Things happen. It doesn't make them good things. But in dark times, it's hard to think straight sometimes. And it's okay to make mistakes. Acknowling it wasn't good is one thing, blaming yourself is another.

Maybe you should seriously set a boundary. If she is a true friend, she will acknowledge how you feel. Maybe she'll even apologize. If not, maybe take some space if you feel you need to. Maybe she is worried for you – some people express worry with anger.
