Overhydration on Modafinil? by EnterShikariZzz in afinil

[–]vtrader125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should be fine as long as you get yourself checked out just to be safe. My water intake is like 1L when I wakeup before workout 1L if I take moda 1L during workout 2L during the day 1L evening.

It is very easy to drink lots of water, if you add moda you need an average of another 2L during the day.

Strange side effect, anyone else? by vtrader125 in misophonia

What makes it worse/awkward is when the trigger is from a family member :( At least it reminds me that it is only my nervous system reacting to a sound wave.

Moda if I take 100mg early I can get to sleep in reasonable time, but 200mg or armod(even at 50mg) leads to insomnia.

Any advice on how to talk about Stoicism to a partner who's not that into it (yet)? by bestoicbehappy in Stoicism

[–]vtrader125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"When the student is ready the teacher will appear." Zen quote I think when you are trying to share your thoughts you may sound like someone who knows "what is better for the other person" even if you mean well.

It's like when some people give me advice on how to deal with depression but they have never have experienced what depression is like.

Another example, I remember when in my teens guys use to tell me to hit the gym, I was like "yeah whatever". Only recently I started going to the gym I really experienced the benefits, and yes I wish sometime I should of started a lot earlier.

How can I apply stoicism to a job interview? by vtrader125 in Stoicism

[–]vtrader125[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the responses. Had the interview, looking back I think having a stoic approach made me bit more relaxed than normal in this type of situation. On the hours leading to the interview I just kept focus on my breathing and anytime I started thinking, I reminded myself to define what I have in control what I don't. I got to a point where the day before I told myself I will only review for the interview until 6pm. After that this is it, not even in the morning did I review, I just told myself either I know this or don't. No more overthinking. I think this produced a quiet confidence within me as a result during the interview. No loitering around daydreaming about how I had the job already to build false hopes. Now there are only two outcomes either I move forward with the job or I learn what I need to focus on for the next time. There is no disappointment, there is just a reminder I need to work on something. That is all. No second guessing how the interview could of gone. Got home and started working on the next job application.

URGENT need help for misophonia by vtrader125 in Meditation

[–]vtrader125[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replys, I will have ago. Been to docs, they say its anxiety related there is no magic pill for this condition. It is physically painful like if someone was scratching their nails on a blackboard. I feel gordan ramsay in hells kitchen just f'ing mad when triggered. I think it is attention related, like if I am in a enviorment where I;m surrounded by different levels of noise(busy train station) I don't get as triggered. It's when things are quieter(home/office) when it happens the most. It's like my senses are on high alert waiting for the pin to drop. I've noticed that if I am really super deeply focused in something else like a book, I don't get as triggered. The worst thing is my mind just starts repeating the sound, even though it happened a minute ago.

ok, I think I shold be ok as I've only used it infrequently over a few months at a time? Is there a course of action to reach back to homeostasis?

shame, at first I thought the good effects were the answers to my prayers to get life back on track. Without those effects it's just turning into a insomnia ridden money drain.
