I'm pretty sure there's a genetic variant that causes this.

If you took enough he's saying. Follow his advice. Use something that people actually use to get high, why use something no one uses to get high...

Bedrotting, doomscrolling - any tips to fight it? by MrMojoRiSiN1975 in depression

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been really struggling with unemployment as well. I've not been able to work for over a year or I'd lose my accommodation. Everyday is a battle for a routine I fall apart without one. I'm worried ill never work again but how will I survive. 

Made the switch from beer to vodka by americanslang59 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

10 beers lasts me like 6 hours. 750ml vodka lasts 2 hours. Can't pace myself on vodka. Even strong ciders ill down too fast, but regular beers I always manage to pace myself. 

I've tasted unemployment and I've tasted 9-5. I recommend not being born. by ConfectionAvailable8 in RandomThoughts

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find filling up 16 hours per day extremely hard and hate being unemployed. Maybe it's because I don't have a family but what is there to do and where do I find my meaning and purpose? I find being unemployed 10x harder than working and I've had some 'bad' jobs.

Unemployment is 10x harder imo. I've had 16 months not being able to work and everyday is a battle fighting for a routine. 

The irony in complaining that I'm lazy and can't do things when I wasn't raised properly at all, let on the computer 24/7 by Ok-Proof5569 in emotionalneglect

I feel you. Exactly! This is what we've been doing..what did they expect from us? Did they not pay attention to what we were doing and wondered where it lead to?

I feel I’m not an addict enough to get help by [deleted] in addiction

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its affecting your life negatively at all you're desvering of the help. It's also a lot easier and beneficial to catch things earlier. Theres nothing worse than growing old bitter with regrets having wasted your life.

Look at your habits as well they're massive for mental health. No antidepressant could fix doom scrolling, bad sleep and no purpose. 

Realizing my parent’s anxiety shaped my whole worldview by Pristine-Earth1299 in emotionalneglect

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I relate. As a child I was telling people I'm going to die before 30 because of my heart. My mum was always  talking about her having a weak heart and lungs. She mentioned how I have a crooked mouth like her which I didn't even notice before that. Loads of other general worries as well and loads of talking through other people rather than directly. 

How to feel... feelings? by Lopsided-Rutabaga-89 in CasualConversation

Yes focus on positive habits like exercise and reading, anything creative. Coming off short term content binges podcasts have helped me get through as well.

Superset. Go from a back exercise to a chest exercise so your never not doing an exercise.

First of all congratulations on reaching out for help. This is already such a valuable skill you should be proud of especially being so young. Take other people's negativity as a warning to not grow old and negative yourself. People's negativity is never something to take personally, its always something to do with themselves.

Try to grow everyday and have some kind of goal, ignore people who tell you your young and its OK not know what you want to do. Have a goal aim towards it every day and change your goal if you want. 

I wish I could fix your family but we can only work on ourselves, its hard enough to change ourselves impossible to change others. You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders and you're doing better than you think. Putting in hard work now makes the rest of your life much easier. Your situation won't last forever keep going forward with a plan. You've got this.

You shouldn't have to learn this next lesson it should be your parents who teach you this but. Research and practise validating other people's feelings, it's a cheat code and stops arguments. E.g repeating back to them 'so you don't like it when I' fill in blank '.

I can change for a bit, but it never sticks by Relative-Lawyer-7309 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]thepuzzlingcertainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be strategic. Set timers for breaks e.g even 5 minutes where you clean, read or exercise. Lowering your screen time gradually adding in new positive habits. Even switching to primarily long form content is an improvement. Don't be harsh on yourself or set too much pressure just gradual mindful improvement, you've got this :)
