i mean i definitely want to believe this so i can keep drinking and drinking coffee and eating food with any flavor at all and exposing my eyes to blue light so i can consume slop, but....
why is the fix for so many mental health and health problems (insomnia and IBS, for instance) just "oh yeah, you know those things that make life bearable/give it any joy? gotta cut them shits out buddy, sorry!!! "
i joke about it a lot on here but low key IBS actually is an invisible disability. anything but a WFH email job and it really hinders your performance and ability to show up, but it's also not something you can really talk to a boss about. i have to use a lot more sick time than the average person. there are way worse afflictions obviously but shit (no pun intended) fucking sucks
There's just a lot more openness here than a lot of other modern forums.
tru i think this is it, plus maybe a greater conscious awareness of the Through Its this system imposes on us
is there anyone on chapo dot chat who is not Going Through It at least semi-regularly? guess this is what learning eldritch truths does
a comrade on here gave me advice recently about something much less serious than this and the main takeaway from the wise shit they said is that the present moment is much more fleeting than it seems. things that seem crushing and insurmountable can be much less of a life-defining, unchangeable reality than they seem in the moment. there's no guarantees in life, but on the other side of what you're going through there could be love and personal happiness and connection beyond anything you can imagine right now. even though that's not guaranteed, i'd personally want to see all that this brief time on earth has to offer me before i make my exit. i hope you end up feeling that way too.
