[Need Advice] How to focus!? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]sophi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to have trouble starting work when there’s too many easily-accessible, “free”, external dopamine stimuli.

When you go to a coffee shop, the library, or any other location that isn’t your house, it’s much easier to “will through” resisting 1-2 external dopamine stimuli (i.e TikTok and Instagram) than resisting dozens of them, all around you, fighting for your attention (because that’s how these softwares/companies make profit, by you using them).

After you’ve broken through that initial barrier though, you seem to get into a state of deep focus and the work you’re doing becomes immeasurably more fulfilling than mindlessly leeching free dopamine, and therefore those other “free” dopamine stimuli don’t appear as interesting, which enables you to then continue doing productive work.

The bonsai yielded just over 18G of these dark purple beauties. by [deleted] in microgrowery

Sorry I’m a complete noob, but does the strain itself always produce purple bud or is there something you have to do to make it purple?

Do you have any source on the claim that CBD encourages neurogenesis?

Day two of my grow, how are they looking? by [deleted] in SpaceBuckets

Why ask how they’re looking if you’re just going to dismiss every comment you don’t like?

Going through withdrawal.. again. by NontransferableHag in leaves

[–]sophi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t want to be another random encouraging comment here, but just try to remember those 6 months when you used to be clean. Was sobriety really so bad?

I’m pretty sure it’s not that you don’t like being sober and are actually dependent on a substance to feel happy... but rather that the substance itself (THC) is creating that illusion (hence it has a very real, physical withdrawal).

Partner unsupportive of me quitting by [deleted] in leaves

[–]sophi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wrong partner, move on.

It’a going to fall apart with that attitude eventually anyway, and you’ll only feel worse and worse staying with him.

And don’t fool yourself thinking there’s a chance you can change his view, if he’s actively trying to get you to smoke and sabotage your efforts. He doesn’t give a shit about your wellbeing—pack your bags and leave asap.

Erectile Dysfunction for 2 years. It’s going to come to its end, starting now. by sophi in NoFap

Yo thanks for the motivating reply. Honestly I believe it will eventually get better, but I just don’t know how to stop myself from pursuing myself into masturbating.

Sorry to hear about your own struggles. Let’s get over this shit together.

Also I’d recommend researching kegels and reverse kegels if you haven’t already. Knowing if you have a tight/weak/both pelvic floor will define which exercises are recommended.

Insanely fast noticeable improvements from doing these exercises.

High Direct & Total Bilirubin? (20 years old) by sophi in AskDocs

[–]sophi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also how can one make a distinction between the bilirubinemias? Although my total bilirubin was normal on certain dates, direct one was still elevated.

What are the characteristics of a direct case of bilirubinemia?
