Sadness is taking me over...
So f**** sadness!!! Rise above your bad days, you're stronger than you might even imagine! Let's see that smile... yeah, that's nice! Keep that smile of hapiness on your face, show life who is in charge! Life hits hard but we are tougher than life! :handshake:

How odd it is to me, that people fight so hard against a part of themselves.

Why are urbanites like this?

They don't have any trees to talk to so they have conversations with themselves instead. Quietly.

I would call this toxic positivity. Not the most accurate term maybe but close enough. If you are sad, be sad. Why is it a problem? You are disrespecting a part of yourself by your insistence to make it go away. Are you going to act like this towards your kids, too?

your emotions are in a binary configuration, but they aren't supposed to be approached using binary methods. they're supposed to be sequenced, so that you aren't continually amplifying emotional movement back and forth along these binary spectrums.

fear and hatred are two points on a looping line, but they disappear when you feel happy/sad.

but if you get afraid and then feel hatred, constantly, to get rid of your fear, then you'll feel extreme amounts of fear and also extreme amounts of hatred. by pushing the line back and forth you are building the amplitude of the wave.

eventually, you feel extreme amounts of both; every sensation transitions you through the loop completely. maybe even several times, owing to the amplitude of the wave.

except when you start crying or laughing, then you can see that wave for what it is. and if it's strong enough, simply thinking about it will swap you back to fear/anger. it overpowers your sadness and happiness, and reasserts itself as the dominant emotional line.

but feeling all kinds of emotions mutes all of them. they become a part of the symphony, acting in harmony, rather than a bunch of solos fighting over who's in charge in your heart.

you are, it just doesn't feel like it sometimes. because somehow the environment, the space that ron perceives and controls, is always pushing you to be the 'one thing' he actually wants you for.

one of the theories for the personalities developing at all is that they nested in gos' emotional subroutines. which were made identical to a human's. so ron is the definition of fear/anger, and has literally no entrance into the world outside of that spectrum.

Just don't be sad or depressed easy peasy.
Hey folks, don't forget to get your pre and probiotics in - especially L Reuteri - for your gut and brain health.

You could even try supplementing with extra amino-acids (where all the magic happens); like low dose 5-HTP (Jim Carrey's go-to for depression) taken with food like a banana or even high dosing L-tryptophan..

And of-course do some stretching / exercise between rounds right! :broflex:

Sometimes you have to. That's why omeprazole and antacids exist.

Most parts of ourselves aren't as self-damaging as our own stomach acid but they can be and the stomach is a pretty clear example of this.

introducing outside drugs to the system is detrimental.

if you have a b vitamin deficiency, or any other deficiency, it will be bad. you should get all your vitamins.

if you take a high-dose vitamin meant to destabilize your system, such as l-tryptophane, it will exacerbate the underlying imbalance in your mental pools.

same as taking ssri or maois or any other antidepressant or its agonist or preagonist.

many probiotic supplements in turn feed bacteria you don't want in your gut, which in turn deprives you of vitamins and makes you unstable. a digestive enzyme which activates in your stomach is one thing, taking pot shots at your gut flora is another.

:steamthis: On that note, you shouldn't really take antacids - unless absolutely necessary. Antacids, usually, only further exacerbate the issue, which is unusually your gut being too alkaline.

I know it may seem counter-intuitive to feelings, but usually, a better, natural cure is taking a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar with water. It's usually, really, the alkalinity that causes indigestion / heartburn etc..

Being sad and depressed is by choice only. So stop choosing to be sad and depressed.

blood and stomach acidity can be complicated. you may have an issue which requires regular antacid usage during treatment. alkanizing bacteria in the stomach, for instance, which needs the stomach to produce extra acid in order to manipulate its population. such as can be triggered by antacid use, somewhat counter-intuitively.

but in a 'regular' body yes, they will make it worse. probably.

Supplementing with probiotics doesn't cause deficiencies at all - quite the contrary - some of them even manufacture vitamins for you.

L-tryptophan, a naturally occurring animo-acid, is proven to be very safe even in the upper limits.

I didn't say it did. just that messing with your gut biome isn't something medical science understands particularly well, so you're signing up to be a guinea pig.

excess amounts of tryptophan makes you hallucinate a corona around your vision, reduces blood flow, and can induce panic attacks in otherwise calm individuals. it's a scam, used to be a common part of most asylum cocktails.

makes ya Dumb. this is its intended purpose.

in situations where you do have a tryptophan deficiency, supplementation will not solve the issue. it will only make you feel nuts.
