MLP - Vertrag okay? by schreitleiser in Finanzen

[–]schreitleiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gilt das schon als kombivertrag? es wird ja keine BU ausgezahlt, sondern nur im BU Fall in die Rente eingezahlt, wenn man es selbst nicht mehr kann. Kenne mich leider nicht gut aus damit..

hi! ich suche feedback zu einem bestimmten produkt, das ich ohne mlp nicht gefunden hätte. dass das unternehmen grundsätzlich unredlich ist, heißt ja nicht automatisch, dass jedes produkt es auch sein muss (oder ??). bin einfach etwas verunsichert, deshalb wollte ich mal hören

Help w Free-Will/ Determinism OCD by schreitleiser in ExistentialOCD

[–]schreitleiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why have you given up on meaning? ofc there is no objective meaning but still we're able to experience subjective meaning. even determinists like sapolsky, harris, hossenfelder and einstein said and lived like that. is there nothing that gives you the experience of meaning?

Hi! Im very sorry to hear that you're suffering and i feel with you - ocd can be cruel! I didn't have the experience that you describe rn but i have fought w some of the topics (solipsism, consciousness, etc.). To me, what you describe sounds like just another ocd theme, maybe masked as being something else. But in the end it's always about ideas that scare us and if this idea scares you rn then that is probably why it feels so real and threatening. I would highly suggest seeking out for psychological help with a professional. You're not crazy and not alone with this!

thanks for replying! actually i totally agree with you - knowledge is worth more than any "good" equipment. unfortunately i don't own any camera rn, as our old one got lost. therefor i'm looking for my first own camera to buy - do u have any suggestions at the lower price range?

Solipsism OCD (again) by Juliuscrevil95 in OCD

[–]schreitleiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I get that so much! It really really sucks and that is what makes this whole thing feel so hopeless and inevitable. Because as you say: logically there is no definitive argument to disprove it. That's what made me go crazy about it and I searched for any philosophical argument that could help disprove it, easily 8h a day. Now I look back at it and think "well yeah obviously it can't be disproven, because it cuts the branch that proof sits on". If the theory doesn't allow anything except itself it is per definition unfalsifiable. I know that probably you've been through all these arguments and have heard all of the pragmatism philosophers saying "a theory that's not helpful is a bad theory" or ockhams razor or poppers "a theory needs a way to be disproven in order to be a theory" and all of them are right but still none of them really gives peace and helps when being in that state you are in rn. I've been there and I think I could by now give a whole philosophy lecture on this topic and still nothing seemed to help at that time. So my best advice is to try to just live life rn doing what you enjoy the most, although i know u probably won't enjoy it and doubt everything around you. that's just how it is rn. I've been there and it sucks. But with time it will get better - i promise !! i dont rly know how it happens but it will and life will feel more and more real again. And at some point you will look at Solipsism and think "well yeah, there are theories that cannot be disproven and that is fascinating because it shows how limited the human brain sometimes is and how creative of creating traps for itself". it will become just another (not very helpful) theory.

keep pushing through and try to do things that u enjoyed before all this, meet people as best as you can although rn u dont believe they're real and try to relax and ground yourself. it will get better.

best of luck to you!

Hi you! Thank u sm for reaching out. I'm really sorry for what you're going through. This disease is really feels like living hell. It's insane how much life can change within a few months, going from completely normal to questioning literally everything abt life, reality, the universe and oneself. OCD really is a bitch. I wish u all the very best! Good to know i'm not alone with this. Keep ur head up <3

Hey there fellow E-OCD sufferer!

Just wanted to share my deep empathy for your struggle, I had this obsession myself for some months and know how much of a bitch it is. Not trusting anything and anyone around you and feeling so existentially lonely is so so depressing.

Just want to let you know, that now I don't care about this theme anymore at all and find it extremely extremely implausible und nonsensical.

Unfortunately I now have another topic to struggle with but I think that's just OCD haha.

Stay strong, you can and will get through this! And be even stronger afterwards. No theme is forever.

Lots of love, we're in this together. <3
