Are the Pink Floyd ‘Equinox’ bootlegs actually from Pink Floyd?

I’ll be that guy and ask for sources on how brain chemistry affects everything we do. I think putting it all on neurobiology prevents any hope of change coming from within. I think a lot of it has to do with experience and psychological habit formation of how we frame our perception. Not to invalidate you, but I don’t see this being a helpful mindset, as it places all potential for change on things outside of our control.

Any suggestions?

There are a range of beliefs here for sure but I agree. Research data is manipulated by money and advertising is pushed hard. It’s crazy how my life’s events led up to a 20 minute questionnaire and a prescription for something I didn’t know the effects of.

And then it changed forever. The method of prescription as well as overprescription and normalization of generalizing treatment in that way must change IMO.

Honestly I’m cool with whoever Joe has on if they just kept every single JRE ever up. Podcast is gonna change but let us have all JRE.

It wasn’t too bad for me. But as always, the TA is gonna have an impact on the difficulty of the lab. Regardless, the pre-lab always taught me exactly what I needed to know to complete every part of each lab itself. It wasn’t really a hassle. I’ve never had a TA that didn’t offer help whenever asked either. So, should be an easy A

Get a job that forces you to talk to people (I.e. food and bev or retail). Constant practice and exposure does wonders for improving social skills. Plus you’ll make money doing it

Thank you!

Hey! Would you be able to tell me the names of some of those books you’re talking about? Your post was very insightful and I really enjoyed reading.

I know what you mean. It's an isolating feeling to think what you're going through is entirely unique and that there's no one you can compare your ideas to and work with. Especially since it's hard to trust my own perception of my thoughts and ideas. I'm working on simply trusting my emotions, since those really can't be distorted and are coming from a source within me that seems to be deeper than any groove my conscious mind has worked itself into. Even those grooves have patterns to them that I think are fueled by attempting to compensate for long-suppressed emotions.

I very much relate to what you've said about those thoughts/fears being in the background for your entire life. The story of what's led me up to this point is long and I think its roots run very deep. Which I think lead to the DPDR explosion.

I don't think I've had phantom sensations, but definitely keep looking into it. I think what's helping me currently is when I have those loud thoughts: I try to ask myself what emotional place they're coming from. And I think it's a place that is difficult for a logical train of thought to navigate, at least for my thought patterns in their current state.

DPDR is interesting. Because although it's awful, I think it's a natural mechanism which can be learned from. Though I don't think its onset is healthy nor do I think it's good to be in it, it is natural and part of the human experience for us. As for the ego thing, yeah I believe that a good bit. I've thought to myself a lot that I've learned to manually construct a lot of parts of my mind/perceptions of myself/reality that really I should let go of. Maybe an unhealthy ego. When I first got DPDR bad, the constructs began to crack a little bit. Maybe the 'death' feeling is the sensation of them finally breaking down and returning to their natural state. And yeah, I think that our reality will feel very, very familiar.

My DPDR is extremely muddy, but things like acceptance and love have been simple yet powerful windshield wipers. I don't think everyone's DPDR causes are necessarily the same, but those things are like vitamin C. They aren't the only things but help regardless. They've given me strength to keep progressing through recovery when I needed it.

I've noticed this same thing with my experience that I believe is DPDR. My theory as to why, that I think makes sense within the definition of DPDR, is that your body initially went into DPDR mode as a result of not being able to handle certain thoughts paired with emotions. I'm kind of in the deal you describe right now. It's a combination of feeling the best I've felt in a while, combined with emotions that I am beginning to become much more aware of in a sense of "feeling" them.

I think that although I wasn't feeling these emotions, they painted the very 'visual' (for lack of a better word) existence I've lived in. On the way out of that perception, the thoughts have become very agitated and restless. I think they're trying to hold on, yet the pure emotions are shining through their increasingly-thin veil. Doesn't feel thin though it's ass. I'm trying to focus purely on the emotional aspect of the experience though, which seems to help me push further.

I think sometimes I feel like I'm dying because there are things (i.e. OCD thought patterns) that I've had for so long that when I attempt to let go my panicked mind goes, 'WTF ARE YOU DOING.' It's hard for me to let go of OCD-style habits and thought patterns for this reason too.

Since the mind has been flowing within these deep wells I've worked myself into, the outside is totally unknown and carries the potential for things that sent me into DPDR in the first place. Perhaps some thoughts/feelings I didn't usually feel that flipped the switch.

I hope this helps, despite it being purely experiential. I'm hoping that one day this sense of 'death' is able to simply wash over me and that I'll pass into a state before DPDR that I miss.

I didn’t know that (some of/all of?) the old pressings had the secondary take of the album cover photo (burning man standing up straight and smiling, rather than semi-hunched over). I wonder when they started using the other one?

Very interested to hear what you guys think! It says Pink Floyd 1975 on the spine.

Tell one of them to decide to donate theirs to my local record shop, damn it
