?

Is that a problem?

I'm self employed.

Found out I'm depressed, decided to reduce work to 3 days a week.

Raised prices to reduce clients. Turns out I now make more, doing less work. It is what it is.

It's not an elementary question.

Best I can guess is: plenty of people, plenty of reasons. Which is a stupid answer.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look into that

I don't know what that is. Please, tell me all about it

It's not sufficient, but it is necessary

It certainly helps a lot!

But again, there's something different about them. that made them different from many others from a similar start.

Wonder what it could be

You can have a phone and a vape. Double pleasure.

5-HTP serves me well. It's got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.

Shrooms are definitely dangerous, especially for people who are prone to schizophrenia I've read.

Personally, they made me realize my mind is capable of being content. No longer full blast, spinning plates all of the time.

That experience made me realise change is possible, and I got professional help a year later. Turns out I've been living in C-PTSD since I was 5.

This might be a weird one, but it is helping me a lot.

My deepest spirals into depression and alcohol abuse happen in the evening and at night.

I switched to waking up early (5am), focused on experiencing and enjoying sunrise as a kind of meditation, then going about my day. I'm off to bed by 8pm.

There's still days where I can't catch sleep for hours, mind racing. But hours past 8pm is still only 2am.
