I'm tired. I did well today. Managed to do ok until about 5.30pm. I was relaxed and pacing myself. At some point I lost the mindfulness/calmness and mind started trying to multitask my entire life at high speed, until I spun out mentally. Just trying to get my happy thoughts back with Stargate.
Whoop whoop! Fellow Stargate fans unite :)
SG-1 is the only one that really matters, lol.

I forbid it. NO WALKING OFF EDGES! *nono

I will make a pile of pillows so that you bounce back instead of falling into a pit.
Your words arrived at the perfect time. I don't want to go into the reason, but it's significant. Thank you LumberJack.

Normally, I avoid using the 'p' word, but it's applicable here.

I’m glad if any of my antics helped. Please take care of yourself. 🙂
I didn't know if you were being sincere or not, so I chose sincere. : )
I'm trying; I did something rather impulsive and huge today. I'll just have to be as calm as i can and wait to see how it turns out. Hopefully ffs not stupid horrid enough to sink me.
So how I am feeling is a very particular sort of fear.

Sincere - yes, definitely. “Serious”, though, not so much, lol. *hug
 
I’m stumped and frightened. I just lost about 2 hours that I cannot account for. I looked up at the clock, made tea, and the next thing I know it’s 2 hours later and the sun is going down. I slept another 14 hours last night and it seems like I am getting involuntary naps in on the side. *dunno

Agreed, It’s frightening to lose time. I have had it happen too. I hope it was just a nap. I hope you are ok.

I think I'm okay now, despite being in a royally awful mood. I'm actually pretty sure it was a nap.

I had been making tea because I felt drowsy but didn't want the full coffee level of caffeine. The plan was to lay down afterward and see how I was feeling then. When I did "come to" in the bathroom I felt less drowsy. It's just making me more and more worried about passing out in a dangerous situation such as while driving. And, quite agreed about losing time. No bueno para mi.

I woke up in the bathroom though. I must’ve sleep walked because I was not near the bathroom when I was enjoying my tea.
This has only ever happened to me on psychedelics. At one point I thought I was trapped in my living room for all eternity, the next minuteI was in the shower and consensus reality was reassembling itself. I miss mushrooms but probably should avoid them these days lol. I hope you can figure out what happened.

Been up coming up to 4.5 hours. Had multiple stressors before 9am but so far managing to keep calm. Just had morning walk and will now do stretches and meditate in between work sprints. Hoping to keep my mind from spilling over the edges into anxiety and simulations about disasters. A situation changed 3 times today and I could have lived every outcome with all the attendant anxieties. Trying to foster a mindset of "I don't know, don't react...." Some days it's easier than others!
 
I’m too busy nowadays. I joined a maker’s space where I have learned 3d printing, laser engraving and other stuff. I have not done any woodworking yet which is the reason I joined. This week I have an afternoon free to work on the yard but it’s going to rain then. Oh well it’s better than nothing to do. I guess I goof off a lot. I’m still not with people though because I’m going to the space when I can get the equipment.
I realize that this is a first world problem and not everyone has the same experience but I’m still lonely during the work week. I just mask it more.

IMHO psilocybin is tool, and a very powerful one. The thing about powerful tools, though, is that it easily turns destructive if used without skill or for the wrong purpose. Similarly, if I get in a car without knowing how to drive, damage is almost certain to result. By contrast if I get the training and practice I need to properly use a vehicle, it can be an ideal way to get from one place to another.

I'm not advocating for the use or non-use of any particular substance, but trying to share that psychedelics themselves are neither good nor bad, but their constructiveness or destructiveness depends on how they are used. By the same token, I have a powerful mind, which also can become destructive without proper guidance, or it can solve important problems when I'm properly supporting myself.
