I have been losing my attention span for video games, I don't really play much besides TF2 because I never feel like playing anything else. I actually hate it because I feel I am losing my passion for video games when it is what I have loved since I was 2.
Nah, just kidding. I know the feeling. You just need a break from gaming. Trust me, you'll benefit from it. Spend a month either cutting down on gametime or avoiding it completely. Try to hang out with friends, watch some movies, catch up on homework, look for work, etc.
[/quote]
Good idea.
[/quote]
Or you can try playing a different game with a different mechanic. being hooked on league of legends for a long time made me appreciate tf2 a lot more when I came back.

I actually found out what causes sleep paralysis to be so terrifying awhile back. Regardless if it's a nightmare or not, sleep paralysis occurs when you awake, but your body is still in low functioning mode, so you can't move. Your brain is also still processing the dream you're currently having, so it makes it hyper-real, like a hallucination, and since you can't move, you're extremely sensitive to the imagery since it's the only thing you can concentrate on.
I've never had a full-on nightmare come up when in that sort of state, but I think this could have counted, whatever it was. I thought I could die for a second and it almost felt comfortable when I let myself feel faint for a moment. I think the shock of catching myself thinking and feeling that allowed me to move into a position where I could breath freely again and was fully conscious.
I almost always retain enough awareness and control in a dream to be able to calm myself or wake myself up when things start to go awry. Even in my previous experiences with sleep paralysis, all of which have happened within the year, oddly enough, I've been able to prevent things from going into full hallucination mode.
And Kirby, it's not like a good trip. I've known people who do hallucinate fully like that sometimes and it's... bad.

This has only happened to me once, and it was at college last year. Sleeping on my stomach, thought I was awake but absolutely could not move no matter what. Pretty freaked out. Took a minute to break free.

Supposedly the person who was in-charge of the deal feels really bad about this, so they were up all night looking at apartments/condo's. She found 3 or 4 and she said we would decide on one today so we can get moved in this weekend.
So who knows, maybe this was for the better.

Oh, I used to experience sleep paralysis a lot when I was younger but not so much any more. It's a bit traumatizing even after fully waking up since I used to replay the waking up (or lack off, really) process i.e. "the hallucinations" over and over again in my mind.
Sleep paralysis is pretty fascinating and I kind of wish I could experience it again now...
A FML I had recently was when I went to go to the bathroom in a Pizza Hut in some random Chinese city for a food pit stop, and there were only two stalls in the restaurant for women. One was apparently out of order and the other one, well, somebody had mis-aimed their #3Â >

First world problem I guess, but still.
Was my first day back at work today as well after being out for a month. The flare up could have been due to the stress. Also hardly anyone seemed to notice that I was gone for an entire month.

Turns out it was probably related more to stress about going back to work after being out for a month than anything. And the walk home in the 30+ heat didn't help, as that's one of the big things I'm NOT supposed to do, but don't really have much choice about.
It's getting better again despite some dairy here and there. I'm sure it's most likely the stress as I can worry hard about ANYTHING.

Cannabis: No matter how hard you try, you can't say anything deep or witty. Dunno if it'll actually help your stress.

Carl Sagan smoked weed. Your argument is invalid.
Also, I would definitely say that weed relaxes me mentally, physically, and spiritually. Not that I'm a very stressed person to begin with; I go out of my way to not worry about things because worrying doesn't help a problem, it just makes you feel bad. You'd be surprised how many negative emotions you can "psych" yourself out of through pure will power.
Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - Coelit - 08-26-2011
When I got back from hanging out with my gf I found both of my doors where open and my cat was gone.
I found Aeris thank fucking god but I have no idea if someone has stolen from us yet, spent about 2 hours looking for my cat... but her safe is the important thing.

Yup.
Re: The "Fuck my life" thread - Luinbariel - 08-26-2011
If it were as easy as talking or willing myself out of it all of the time, I'd do that. But it isn't just as easy as "getting over it" sometimes. There's a lot of shit I'm facing and my life is changing a lot (and no I'm not talking about the first world cheese problem, which was solved anyway). I'm talking about everything else.
Maybe I'll try it, not sure. I had the chance two weeks ago but I turned it down (weed). If I wanted it again I can just ask my co worker I guess. I'm trying to reduce my stress as much as I can on my own first, and I can see changes in my skin flare up that are indicating it is (slowly) working. Just gotta stop fucking gritting my teeth all the time.

Yes. I meditate regularly. It helps somewhat. But it isn't enough.

If it were as easy as talking or willing myself out of it all of the time, I'd do that. But it isn't just as easy as "getting over it" sometimes. There's a lot of shit I'm facing and my life is changing a lot (and no I'm not talking about the first world cheese problem, which was solved anyway). I'm talking about everything else.
Maybe I'll try it, not sure. I had the chance two weeks ago but I turned it down (weed). If I wanted it again I can just ask my co worker I guess. I'm trying to reduce my stress as much as I can on my own first, and I can see changes in my skin flare up that are indicating it is (slowly) working. Just gotta stop fucking gritting my teeth all the time.

Yes. I meditate regularly. It helps somewhat. But it isn't enough.

Try to do it more often, the more stressed I get the better meditating helps. It just takes patience when you are super high strung like you are describing now.
Oh and instead of clearing out one emotion just strengthen another, like being relaxed and not giving a shit unless you KNOW it's needed.

I do regularly meditate already, like just about every night before bed. I guess I could do a few times a day.
