funny how the brain works. it’s just some very advanced meat, with a specific set of juices flowing through it that allows it to do a very specific set of tasks.
sometimes the juices are unbalanced. sometimes the juices have too much to process. and the rest of the body reacts accordingly.
anyone else get like, theoretical past embarrassment?
like i’ll be thinking about a situation that already happened, and my brain goes “wouldn’t it have been so cringey if you had done this” and i go “yeah sure but i DIDN’T” and my brain goes “TOO BAD, BITCH NOW YOU’RE EMBARRASSED ABOUT SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED”
yeah anyway my brain hates me and i don’t know what i did to hurt her

What amount of cognitive dissonance is supposed to be in your brain? Because I think I have a ton.
Gamers how to tell the difference between the autism and the adhd and the cptsd and the did and the generalized anxiety????
I had a nightmare but it made me realize that my shutdowns act more like autistic shutdowns than adhd shutdowns but how is a audhd shutdown different from both? Do I have anxiety because of living with the audhd?? I’m pretty sure some of my trauma was ableism.
Even before any alters were formed I never felt like a real person or had a stable sense of identity, I was always “weird” and felt on outside of things around other kids. I’ve always been escapist, daydreaming or reading for hours without break or dissociating. I guess living is so overwhelming that the only way I know how is to barely do much of anything and I can barely do much of anything because I’m so weak and tired all the time.
How am I supposed to function? I’m already on medications, I’ve started therapy again, when do I become a person?
Humans are inherently wired to imitate from birth, which aids in learning and social bonding. Studies show that children not only replicate actions but also understand underlying goals. This imitation is influenced by mirror neurons, fostering empathy and emotional connection.

Man I wish I was a tree or a frog or something like a book or a table because I’m tired of having a conscience and I’m tired of my brain
Me to my brain: Are you tired? We should probably go to sleep.
Brain: Yeah, probably…
Me: soo..?
Brain: nah, no sleep. I want you to suffer in the morning >:)
A large, decades-long study of more than 130,000 participants suggests that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea may support long-term cognitive health. Researchers from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard conducted a large prospective cohort study involving 131,821 participants from the Nurses’ […]

sometimes I think my experiences of frequent tiny skin sensations are like. “phantom” sensations of the psychological variety (rooted in anxiety/restlessness/obsessionality/whatever). and then other times it’s bothering me and I go through the collar of my t-shirt under a bright light and use tweezers to pull out all the teeny tiny bits of fluff and hair and then the sensations go away. and it becomes clear that I really am experiencing physical stimuli and it’s just that unfortunately I can feel things like “one individual arm hair moved in a way that makes that specific tiny follicle feel pinched”
While the USA, trailed by China, is heading to the stars… One should not make too much fun of Ayn Rand, a sort of chipmunk philosopher for entrepreneurial America..Her simplistic mindset had a huge, positive influence on US GDP, and Europe would be well advised to read the childish Ms Rand, because Europe is affected by a severe case of anti-Randism, namely coercion of individual business…
I downloaded this new app, called Opal. I’m just doing the free trial and it blocks all my social media apps and games. so I cannot access them within allotted time frame.
At first my brain 🧠 was like “Whatttt????”
But I tell it, it’s good for us. (Yes, I have conversations with my brain 🧠)
So you can tell you Brain good and uplifting things.
For example:
“Hachi your a mighty warrior full of wisdom and 🔥 “
“Hachi your the mother of dragons and Sylus is your king ”
“Hachi you will acquire enough diamonds for Caleb Third myth”

My subconscious has realized that the two things I can control while I sleep are my eyes and my breathing, so I’ve started having dreams revolving around these mechanics. Sometimes I encounter situations where I have to avoid looking at anything for too long, or keep my eyes focused on a specific thing in a crowd. Sometimes I can cast spells by humming or blowing a kiss or holding my breath. Last night I could perform divination by blowing bubbles and seeing how they floated. If you ever have a dream where you find you can’t move, remember you can always see and breathe.
Can your expectations change how sweet something tastes or how much you enjoy it? A nutrition label can shape your experience before you take the first sip. In a study in JNeurosci, Elena Mainetto (Radboud University), Margaret Westwater (University of Oxford), and researchers at the University of Cambridge tested whether expectations alone could change how […]
