    Many aspects of my life are consistent

    What specifically has changed for you? (my question was for the person above you, btw, I do not mean to abandon that thread)

    given selokichtli already responded i'll chip in as well.
    it's honestly quite hard to give an exact answer, but life has definitely not felt the same ever since the lockdowns hit.

    late 2019 to like 2023 and even early 2024 flew by very fast for me. i can't even really remember much from that period and i'm not sure whether it's a direct consequence of the above, or maybe it's from COVID brain fog (i'm not even sure if i had COVID in the first place)

    in any case things have felt off since the lockdowns. not to mention how much the internet has changed ever since LLMs got rolled out.

      I intentionally make up horrors and monsters to lurk in the shadows or under my bed. Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I stare at a corner of the room, imagining some unsettling creature that could be lurking there, staring back at me (if it has eyes at all). I imagine something reaching up to grab the leg I'm stick out over the edge.

      But they can't actually get me. They're created, sustained and dispelled by my will. They may stare at me, reach for me, but they're powerless. When I'm done with them, I send them back to the half-existence in the collection of ideas I built them from.

      It's a cruel power fantasy, to make up monsters incapable of understanding that they're the lesser horror between us, but it's fun.

      It also seems to help me sleep, but that might just be the fact that focusing my brain on one thing quiets all the background noise.

      Similarly, the lines painted at the bottom of the pool became sharks when I jumped off the diving board as a child.

      I never once really thought that sharks had somehow been smuggled into a shit little public pool, but that hammer head was real as hell until I'd crawled my way to the exit ladder.

        Good on you, it's the owners fault. I really hate most dog owners, they just let their dogs off the leash and let them come up to you, not giving a shit whether the person is afraid of dogs or not or basically taking the risk for someone else.

        Since having a daughter every time I'm out and there's dogs I hate having to imagine how I'd save her from an attack and how I'd either have to try killing it or escaping.

        They have the audacity to say "don't worry they won't harm her" when I pick my daughter up to stop them getting near. "No fuck you and leash your dog"

          Yep -- It's a gift & a curse.

          I find it super easy to put myself in other people's shoes and see what they're going through, but I have a hard time expressing my own feelings. It's turned me into a bit of a loner, but I do have a small circle of people I know & trust that I can be myself with.

            But I don't feel guilty. Just fear of getting caught...

            That sounds an awful lot like you're cheating on her.

            You probably feel that way because you yourself are currently cheating.

              I don't know if it's scary, but in the absolute core of my existence i just need my life to stop sooner rather than later.

              I've always been a bit suicidal leaning but when i was stopped i never had the courage to try again.

              Every single day my mind tells me "would've been better if you did, it's all a big shitshow anyway" it never misses a day. I keep telling myself to not listen to it but i do agree.

              I had a certain circumstance a couple yeara ago where i was close to dieing and it brought me peace...i felt calm and became accepting of what was to come (despite the intense pain). Wife calles an ambulance which they refused to send as we were too calm for it to be believable, so we took a taxi and that's when they got to see the pain i was in and realized time was running out quick.

              Bla bla bla etc etc, i got sent home a while later and the same pain returned...excruciating bone wrenching all encompassing pain and all my mind had to add was: "if this is real, just go to sleep and you won't have to wake up again".

              And i did, despite this absolute tormenting pain i fell asleep so peacefully and convinced of it all ending...it was such a relief.

              But i woke up after...shit.

              That's the darkest corner of my existence.

                  Hey I am curious about how people experience hallucinations can I ask some questions?

                  Does being tired or sleepy effect it? For example just before falling asleep do you start hearing your voice more clearly or louder?

                  Do you actually see figures and people in front of you or is it more of a "I think I saw a black cat run in my peripheral vision" type of thing?

                  Thank you!

                  It is more that you see geometric patterns in stuff like leaves and clouds. Colors are a bit more saturated. Lines that are supposed to be straight are wobbling, kind of like those optical illusions but in everyday objects. I also saw wallpaper patterns spin in my peripheral vision.

                  It is less that you see things that aren't there and more that the things that are there behave odd.

                  The biggest difference isn't in the visuals but in the way your brain thinks. You think about the world from a whole new perspective. And this effect persist after the trip. You still have the same personality, but with the insight of a different perspective.

                  Falling asleep doesn't change much. Your dreams might be more vibrant. But it would be a waste of a good trip.

                      I'm really good at operating vehicles and other heavy machinery while on LSD, it doesn't significantly impair my coordination or reflexes. Delivered pizzas, drove a forklift once, and left more than a handful of underwhelming/unpleasant trip parties without having to wait til I came down. I suspect it's a combination of my particular neurodivergence plus a lot of practice gaming while tripping, hard to prove though.

                          Just to make this clear. I have completely dealt with all the shit I went through during that time and I have completely processed everything. I have accepted it as a part of my history and I Am completely fine with it. Theres nothing left to talk about in order to learn something about myself that I dont already know. I seriously dont see a single point where this is ever going to cause any problems in my future life.

                          You don't know that, you most likely pushed it down and covered it up, because that's what people with trauma do. That's not processing it. The scary part isn't what you can imagine / see causing the problems, it's what you can't imagine.

                          But at the end of the day it's your life, do what you want

                            No matter what I do for self-care, my toenails are very sharp. I have accidentally made deep cuts on my own feet as well as others many times.

                              I devinetively didnt suppressed it. I did in fact thought quite a lot about it and also talked about it with people. The process of me processing that time also wasn't something that was a week or so, but it did in fact took quite some time.

                                  That's a wild ride. Hopefully you're at least pain free now.

                                  I don't love the idea of continuing on, but I'm not suicidal. Let's just say, if things were to end suddenly, I'm ok with that. I'll see you all later (or not, who knows?).

                                  As long as my life isn't constant torture, I'm ok continuing on, as long as I'm able to help those that I care about. They're my reason.

                                    Commonly it's thought of as between red and purple. I don't know where pink comes from.

                                      I do a band count before I start peeing into the toilet….

                                      I then usually start singing a tv show theme song like Happy Days as I keep the flow going. Disturbed yet?

                                        Clairvoyance runs in my family. Most specifically, my sister has predicted several deaths.

                                          I am in the same situation. "When I was a child I was the most unhinged asshole I know" is extremly common in this community and I have no clue why.

                                          just a guess, but it could be because kids are dumb and we were all kids once trying to figure out the world with no experience. And then on top of that we tend to remember the cringe moments about ourselves even though those moments were likely an after thought to those around us.
