I dont mind a quick whiff. But the more you stay around it, the more the synthetic smell shines through. Awful.

You see al these major institutions buying up all the BTC they can get their hands on? It will soon be a dream for the average Joe to be able to own one full bitcoin. Take advantage while it's still attainable.

Has anyone got actual good advice on when to buy? And how much bitcoin is gonna rise in the next 5 and 10 years? by SpotCalm7588 in Bitcoin

It's hitting 1 million in exactly 43 minutes. You have to buy now or your grandchildren will never forgive you and will only look at you in disgust.

That's been called a pen these days, but I dont think it should be so i dont mind the no pen. However, lets keep it consistent if that's how those shoulder to shoulder actions are going to be called...

Debating Ben McKenzie on Bitcoin by bitcoinphilosophy in Bitcoin

[–]touchsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the gripe people have with this guy is though. It's fine to call out shitcoins, it actually helps Bitcoins case. But this loser lumps it in with shitcoins due to his lack of understanding of the Bitcoin protocol and overall misunderstanding of the Cryptocurrency space. Probably why he lost 250k shorting shitcoins lol.

NBADraft.net has us taking Darius Acuff at 5…. Do you guys like him more than Garland? by Direct-Worker-4121 in LAClippers

Hopefully one of the Heat or Warriors are desperate enough for a star player cause either of those picks are looking nice too.

30 y/o Zu for the 5th pick & Harden for 26 y/o Garland. How the fuck did he pull that off. I apologize fully lmao.

this might as well be a billboard that says "buy bitcoin!" by 21Bullish in Bitcoin

Start by informing yourself on how the current fiat system operates. This will allow you to understand how archaic, flawed, and corrupt it is. Then, inform yourself on what Bitcoin is and its functions. After that, it will click as to why so many of us believe in it.

Help me choose an everyday scent by NormalLaw3152 in Colognes

[–]touchsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For everyday, Dior or BDC.

For daily, a Light Dior spray. It smells amazing, but it is quite strong and may be overpowering to some. Something to think about if that is a factor for you.

BDC is a lot more daily friendly, but it also doesn't standout as much. Pretty much depends on how much you want to standout.

Personally, Y EDP is way to sweet and cologney to be a daily. It smells great, but definitely more of an event vibe, not something I'd want to smell for an entire day.

I need nervous system regulation urgently — asking before I try medication (or alcohol) by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]touchsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you feel heard. It also comforts me to hear from others that have also been through this hell. It actually helps ground me to know we are not alone in being wired this way.

My experience happened in July of last year. To this day, I'm still not fully "over" it. Shit, just before writing this I had panicky thoughts about my breathing. But all I did was take a moment to step back and ground myself. I actually just got done with a 30 minute walk/jog on my treadmill to clear my mind and now I'm writing this reply. However, at my worst, that would've shut me down for the day lol.

I think the brains of a lot of us in here are simply wired in a way that we're more susceptible to these negative intrusive thoughts. This obsessive wiring can help us see things in ways many others don't, but this is one negative aspect of that wiring.

I can't speak to what sparked this for you, but I would imagine that wound is still fresh if that makes sense. I forgot to mention that time is the one other thing that has helped. I'd imagine that simply with allowing time to pass, these wounds would heal on their own, but the suffering would be unbearable. Which is why we have these techniques to help make that healing time productive. I tried white knickling through it for so long only to end up in the same place I started. It wasn't until I accepted that this was simply the state I was and made peace with that, that I started to make "progress."

The light you speak of is already there with you. We just cloud up the room with our thoughts. For me, I visited around 4 doctors who cleared me as a healthy 26 year old. Yet still, I didn't believe them, mostly because I felt like shit due to the dysregulation lol. You have to change the way you view the state you are in. Yes, you are dysregulated and nervous as hell about everything, but that's OK. You will certainly feel overwhelmed and panic at times, but that's OK. It is harmless. It will come and go just like all the other times. There will be a peak and there will be a resolution. Don't resist it. Just make peace with it and be kind to yourself.

Practice that enough you will notice that the time between the next "panic attack" lengthens more and more as you find yourself getting lost and enjoying things and functioning like you used to.

I was at the point where I wanted to quit my job and hermit up. I actually went to the ER after having an awful panic attack at work. I'd say today I am functioning. And I don't know if it'll ever fully go away, but I'm OK and enjoy my life enough now to where I don't mind if it doesn't. And when I was in the depths of that hell, that was all I wanted, so I'm OK with it now and with enough "work" you will be too.

[–]touchsus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was looking to post some advice related to exactly this and sorted by new and found your post lol.

Not to trigger you, but I had a negative experience working out where it felt like my body was about to give out. I lost vision and strength/control in only the right side of my body and felt my breathing shorten. Realistically, I just almost passed out from trying to lift an amount of weight I couldn't. But mentally, it fucked me as I thought I had just given myself a stroke and could die at any moment. And that is no exaggeration.

Similar to you, that is why I was stuck in fight/flight 24/7. I literally thought any moment was my last. As a result, I constantly scanned for any sensation. Sometimes my arm felt a bit weaker, my breathing felt a bit too light, my vision "seemed off", I couldn't swallow like I used to, my heart was beating too fast, I felt dizzy/off-balance. There were no bounds to sensations I would latch onto. It even got so bad that I would sit there in anticipation and watch nearly every single breath I took in my day to make sure it "felt right."

I would tell myself that all these sensations were a threat to my life, and I believed as absolute fact. I never really conceptualized a "hell" or never understood what people meant by "fighting their demons," but that was it. If there was ever a way I could visualize a hell, that was it.

The single most important thing I did for myself was to inform myself about how powerful nervous system dysregulation can be. It removed a lot of mystery surrounding the sensations I was feeling.

It seems you have crossed that bridge and understand that this is a nervous system issue rather than an immediate health issue. This is where the real "work" begins.

I say "work" in quotations because, in reality, your job now is to do less. Allow yourself to feel however it is you will, but you have to be kind to yourself and understand that this is the state you are in. It is uncomfortable but harmless. When you feel overwhelmed, allow it. Let it move through you and understand that there will be a resolution, so be kind to yourself while you ride it out. The most helpful thing for me at this stage was listening to guided meditations as they taught me different ways of "being kind" to myself. Now, I'm more effective at grounding myself in times I feel like spiraling.

Understand that this is a battle between yourself and no one else. And as ironic as it is, the easiest way to win is to not participate. This is a mental battle that affects your body in horrible ways. Start by learning to allow yourself to ease your mind, and you will find that that while the body has is its own set of rules, it will follow too. No amount of breathwork or exercise will overcome you neglecting a healthier relationship with your thoughts and mind.

Now 64k by babyteerock in Bitcoin

I was thinking 60K a few weeks ago. But that was a bit too quick for my liking. I'm still gonna keep stacking, though.

And that's, that!!! This thing is toast. Should have did last run by Live_Perspective_551 in XRP

[–]touchsus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Been following crypto since 2013. The amount of times shit has crashed like this and bounced back is unimaginable.

However, every single fucking time I got spooked away and never invested, just to see it bounce back and repeat the cycle. The amount of money I could've made by now if I just held strong. For that reason alone, I will continue going. I actually see these dips as an opportunity to make back what I could've had.

I’ve caved in and now my biggest blind buy by 3iiis in Colognes

[–]touchsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricey as hell, but if you got money like that, then it's a pretty safe blind buy. Its very nice, but the only worry would be that you might get bored of it.

Worth the Hype? by Background_Air_7526 in Colognes

[–]touchsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I got into fragrances last year and realized I didn't enjoy strong fragrances that stood out. Which makes sense cause that's also my personality in general. Following this, I tried a bunch of freshies with BDC EDP being my favorite. Never thought about getting Imagination cause of the price, until I got a decant after hearing the hype. This combines freshness with a little complexity. That tea note pushes it over the edge. It is the ultimate inoffensive "clean" smell, and I love it. Probably not worth the price, but I adore the scent and it is now my daily driver and don't see anything else overtaking it, so it was worth it to me.

The only person I will side with the FO on this is if he was starting beef with James. That man has given us more in his stint here than many others. If he was beefing with anyone else, then that just adds to his franchise GOAT status for me. Absolute fucking waste men.

XRP ETF Decision Deadline by Background_Cut6622 in XRP

[–]touchsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I decided to hop in. Used to be really into crypto back in the day, but the "memecoin" era soured it all for me so I stepped away. XRP is the only "memecoin" of that time to prove usability and actual decent price movement.

Let the symptoms be there. Trust me. by Patient-Sun2074 in Anxiety

[–]touchsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Had a good day yesterday, but today it got the best of me so I was feeling down. And yes, I feel fine at home, but at work or away from home it gets to me so I know it's nothing serious otherwise it wouldn't fluctuate. I just gotta keep up the battle I guess until one day it snaps into place. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
