it seems like consumer goods are getting worse but i think that's wrong. they should be getting better.

when i say wrong, what i mean is that the active underlying principle is automatic improvement. you do something, you get better at it. if you did it again, it would be better then what you did the first time. it is harder not to get better then to get better when you repeatedly do something.

how come so many things get worse then? i guess you can tell whether an industry is a monopoly and not a market of competition by it's lack of improvement. when they get more expensive and worse at the same time, that is conspiracy against the consumer.

they could make amazing cars that are optimized for accessible repairability for 5000€ new with repairparts that are optimized for cheap production, long life and ease of replacement. but they can't make it in a way where somebody gets rich in the process so they want this system of you being their rent slave and you have to sign the slave contract.

What takes more energy? Pushing rod made of steel or one made of plastic? The lightweight plastic rod of course.

Would a chair made of solid steel break first after being exposed to spiking loads, or one of plastic?

There often isn't some magical new technology making products more efficient, they're just shifting to lightweight materials to meet efficiency standards. There's always been a tradeoff between efficiency and durability, we are just taking it to an absurd length now.

And if the owners are committed to a good product and don't want to sell, there's all kinds of crazy tricks like buying out their suppliers or acquiring adjacent companies and sacrificing them by selling similar products to the original at a loss until the original is forced to sell.

OTOH, I work at a place that makes a niche but quality product and we've basically run out of people to sell to. Every new product is a just slight, negligible variation on the same basic idea, though we do have something decent and unique in development that'll actually drive a lot of sales I think.

I think I've just realized a good reason to live.

I have /wiz/ardchan tier sex drive - as in very low

During my teens/20s I had stress so high I had no morningstaff (/dep/ tier past) - but I missed the part where I was supposed to end up a "crab".

All my /hob/ are computer-related, I don't really need too many "real stuff". In fact, I like "industrial" design or straight-up "rustical" crude design.

I dabble a little in /jp/ culture - as in 1950s-1980s, not just modern anime/games/both combined (Touhou Project) and pre-1885 times of samurai

and I have my own taste in /music/ - I have utilitarian preferences, such as commercial background music.


I think my consciousness would be quite useful as a template to copy and to install into various robot-like machines… y'know, it happens sometimes - it's VERBOTEN, ZAPRESHCHENO, PROHIBITED to make X, but there's an opportunity to get Y and upgrade it to something that's close to X. So hey, have fun cloning [and patching up?] my mind with additional knowledge, should manufacturing a strong AI from scratch und up prohibited.

Since I do not identify with seggs/gossip/"SUCCial lifey" and such, I have less problems than regular urban person all while I do not have the addendum of the beautiful divine nature of a proper hermit/monk/a high-composure person who keeps masking own feelings, not genuinely lacks them.

We would do better to work towards a future wherein those who feel the need to endanger people in their own homes are eradicated.

Well, I finally watched this movie. I'm just gonna assume you have too or at least know what happens.

The horror itself was fine, not the scariest thing I've seen but it was ok. I've seen yandere stories in anime or manga scarier than this. Honestly my movie watching experience was overshadowed by the other reason people talk about this, the discourse around "who the real villain is". Unsurprisingly, foids pin all the blame on Bear.

Their first claim for why it's all Bear's fault is "he took Nikki's free will away by using a wish granting toy". That is pedantically true, the series of events began from that action, but everyone who says this conveniently leaves out the obvious fact: Bear didn't know some stupid $7 toy was actually gonna have supernatural powers. He was just as confused as everyone around him. To use a plastic wish granting stick to wish for love looked about as effective as asking a magic 8 ball for advice.

The next claim for why Bear is evil and the most disgusting villain of all time is a variation of "he took advantage of her when she was under his spell". It is true that Bear goes along with it initially and starts dating/banging Nikki, but mind you, Bear didn't suspect the stick did anything. He went along with Nikki's explanations for why she was acting weird, like her father dying or her being on drugs, because he's a functioning adult who didn't believe anything supernatural could be at play. But once that was made apparent to him, he did try to fix it.

So then the next claim is "he didn't try to help Nikki" or "he didn't try hard enough". First of all that's not true, he did try to fix what he did, and second of all, what was he supposed to do exactly? Nikki was possessed by something supernatural. No mundane solution like taking her to a hospital was going to work. The movie makes it very clear that the only thing Bear could do to end the situation was to off himself, something which no sane person would do as a first resort.

Now mind you, I'm not saying Bear did NOTHING wrong. Of course he did, he's flawed and makes mistakes just like all of us. What I am saying is this narrative that he was malicious and just wanted to take away Nikki's free will so he could fuck her (ie rape her) completely twists his true intentions. He had a crush on someone and he wanted her to like him back. Not even just to fuck her, he wanted her to genuinely love him the same way he loved her. His only real Post too long.

Obsession was really good. I also liked the "Talk to me" and "Hereditary".
Looking forward to the "Other mommy". But I suspect the Other mommy will flop. The trailers look cool though.

What's interesting is that, unlike OP, I do not look for those movies to be scary. In fact I actually really like the occult supernatural tropes instead, and also the very trippy scenes.
I guess that is the unpopular opinion. But IMO those things make the good horror film, not the "OMG IT IS SO SCARY, *insert generic jump-scare here*".
It has to be more than that, I think.

So the OP's" not the scariest thing I've seen but it was ok"
Sounds very shallow to me. You can make really scary movie but it won't have any substance to it.

Its not about a succubi doing a magic ritual and a sigil or something?
>Also
Yes, real sigils, LoA etc can turn behaviour kinda obsessive same as any ritual or belief on magic or superstions etc, kinda hypnosis to me.
Some chaos magic dudes that use sigils actually have some philosophy and focus around the lure of result and can actually pass the obsessive ideas and are more focused on results and selfworking. Succubi in general have 0 selfcontrol and weird assholes magicians without training and in general without focus and philosophy can turn obssesive around these things without selfcontrol and before and first than anything, healthy life and behaviours.
These people like the succubi of the film at first they dont have a healthy life and mind.

Different types of salt are mostly the same, the impurities just add color not any positive taste. The size of the grain is what will have the most impact and makes a big difference. It also impacts how much salt you need to fill up the same size spoon because bigger grains pack worse and have more air so use whatever type of salt they call for in a recipe. Also, don't forget to use iodized salt sometimes. There are people who cook only with these fancy non iodized salts all the time who end up getting iodine deficiency.

Do you want to change your life?
Do you really want to change your life?
MEDITATE
Wizzies, meditation is highly famous but seldom practiced seriously. The results from meditation takes time. It's like exercise. During the first day it will be hard to stay still and concentrate, but as you practice it, your body and mind start getting used to it. The benefits are immense. To mention a few:
>it improves concentration a lot
>it quiet your inner monologue, reducing it to 96% or even 100% depending on how well you are praticing it
>it increases the size of your pre-frontal-cortex which is responsible for making decisions
>increases gaba, which is the chemical that makes you calm
>it sharpens your sense making colors look brighter and sounds sound more vivid
>it gives you insights
>it makes you live in the present moment, since you are not ruminating the past or thinking about the future
>it reduces anxiety

And if you want to make it more meaningful, I advise practicing Buddhist teachings, even if you don't indetify as a Buddhist (that's irrelevant). You can still continue being a Christian and still follow Buddha's teachings for a happier and sober life.

I speak from experience. I've been meditating for 5 months almost everyday and now I'm starting to reap the fruits of my efforts. If I could dedicate my life 100% to spirituality and become a monk, I would, but where I live there's barely any monasteries. I don't mind though. I'm happy. I could be happy anywhere as long as I could practice meditation and the teachings of the great Buddha.

Just do it. Do it today or tonight. If silence is a problem, put on a whine noise sound on your headphones (I do that). Do it for 20 minutes. If it's too hard for you, reduce it to 10, but no less. You first session is always special. You will get out of there thinking: "what the hell, this shit really works".

Good luck, guys!

A lot of people never keep training concentration, there's too much focus in Vippasana movement. try techniques to gain more concentration like in old pre-sectarian buddhism. you can try first some around ethics and behaviour to gain more focused meditation in life, later add concentration techniques and try experimenting with meditation.
If quiet work amuse you, try soft body movement meditation or first do some soft exercises for your body before doing quiet meditation, this help with breath and body relaxation.

is it impossible? or might you be just failing at it because you are so identified with it that you worry you are losing it without your pet negative thought-loops? you have not figured the human nervous system out. it is based on attention and you can learn to direct this attention away from your mind into other parts of the nervous system. if you don't know how to do it, that means you are being shoved around like a pinball, that means your habits are flying the plane and you just sit in the copilot chair; merely acting like you fly the plane.

Wizzies I need help. What are some ways to make money online that are guaranteed to work and without posting your face or anything personal? I live in the third world (Egypt) and I'm dead broke, can't even afford to eat lately. Can't find work either. All the online resources about "making money" on the internet involve doing weird things like posting videos of yourself or other humiliating things. I speak both Arabic and English very well and I know how to code although I'm not extremely good at it.

I did surveys for a while. Pay was really shit (4-8 dollars an hour I would guess) but because I didn’t pay any rent at the time it was enough to pay for food and games. I would just fill them out while listening to music. I don’t know how far that money would get you over there but I imagine in some places at least it’d be alright.
Some tricks if you want to give it a shot
>1
Try to make yourself an ideal candidate. Consider what type of person they might be looking for. Someone without a car, job or family isn’t really ideal.
>2
Don’t scroll through too quickly. I think some might have a timer.
>3
Make sure to at least skim through the question. Sometimes they’ll try and trick you up with a normal looking question but which ends in something like “Choose option 2.” to see if you’re actually reading.

I don’t know if it’s possible in Egypt (europoor here) but maybe you could use a VPN and translation service or something like that to make it work.

Online tutor. You know English right? You can teach Americans how to speak Arabic or Farsi. If you know math above Calc 2 / Integrals you can be a math tutor as well. Unfortunately this also requires facetiming with Americans, most of whom are only doing this to fulfill requirements, and you'd probably become extremely jealous when you see how middle class americans live.

I did that too. I am a late child, parents were 37 when I was born, and they divorced right after. I was angry at that because I had no father figure, blamed my mother. Come to think of it, I never once in my life said I love you or showed her any kind of support. Only when she died I realized her importance, but too late now.

Ask any parent who managed to raise a successful child whether through luck or skill and they shouldn't be afraid to say that your mother and his failed at parenthood (this isn't personal) unless the bar for success is set so low any noncriminal counts as a success

You can feel regret over the only mother you'll ever have but that doesn't change the reality of the situation - many mothers never say I love you to their children either

Neglect amounts to the same thing and many parents show no care in fostering their children's innate interests as opposed to forcing things on them

Imagine you were a succubus or alternatively got a bitch pregnant the kid would probably grow up and feel the same way about you

In short, here are my symptoms.

My penis feels completely disconnected from my body and I can feel things from it only barely.
I can feel ejaculating when it is about to happen when I used to masturbate and some sensitivity from it, but all of it pales compared to how my penis felt before.
And my penis feels floppy and rubbery like when my penis is erect, it falls on the other side.
I don't get morning woods and if I have nocturnal emissions it beacuse slept near a objects and, in general, my penis feels stiff.
I should also mention that I used to masturbate a lot that time ago and that I suffer from Klienfelter syndrome.

In general, I think I suffer from some kinda hard flaccid syndrome, and I am not sure how to fix it. I am afraid that it will never be fixed no matter what

Is there any solution to this?

>Is there any solution to this?

when you walk the path of health, your body tries to fix anything it can about you. human ability for regeneration is miraculous, few people know this.

this is the first thing i would try, to be as healthy as i can and see if this improves it. there is a good chance it does because it improves everything. if it doesn't you still have improved everything else so you don't run the risk of wasting your effort. i can't recommend being healthy highly enough.

i have difficulty imagining how much the chromosonal thing is affecting this so i can't really say anything smart about that. i don't know what difference this makes.

in general this sounds like a nervous system issue. nervous system is choice. when you meditate you know that you can just make yourself feel good the same way you can lift a glass using your arm muscles if you so choose. imagine your nervous system as a muscle and the same way as the muscle it grows when you use it. you can strengthen the nervous system in general just through being healthy but there is more you can improve about it through wise choice. i can think of many things that influences it.

when you are involved in conflict, engage in predatory behavior and have negative/ hostile emotions then your body considers you but a mere warmachine and disables more advanced nervous system activity. same with being dishonest and immoral. there is an inner sense of self-justice that will self-harm you and the way habitually immoral people tend to deal with this is fragmentation; they pretend to be someone else when they are immoral and act like it doesn't count because another personality did it.

i'm getting lost in the details. another thing that is beneficial for your nervous system besides being healthy and being moral is creativity in general but especially physical self-expression. doesn't matter too much what it is, could be ice skating or rollerblading or breakdance or acrobatics or just you in your room moving your body to music you like while wearing headphones.

if you did all these positive things i'd be very surprized if your staff of life didn't heal. i am wishing you all the best and i am hoping you give health a try.

A guy only needs one pair of clothes. He's not a female who will turn to ash if she doesn't have a new outfit for every day of the week. Wizards can also layer up and keep unworn clothes in a backpack.
>they stay all day in the same shoes
Stable people typically only have one pair of functional shoes at a time.
>(unless they're supported by some charity service that periodically changes them)
Of which there are many, including churches, and a pair of shoes runs about $10 at a thrift shop.

A shelter is a human right, nothing fancy about a one bedroom apartment

>you wouldn't be homeless in extreme climates, you would use your legs to slowly walk to where humans have been homeless for hundreds of thousands of years before.
In the US and Europe, every winter temperatures drop below survival levels especially during night, I don't know where people have been homeless for hundreds of thousands of years BUT I know for sure that every civilization built more homes.

>getting robbed is not really something homeless people don't need to be too worried about
It's very common for homeless people living in cities to lose their stuff, they are also victims of random violence periodically and get hit by cars more often.

>you confuse being a city-beggar with being homeless
Most homeless people live in cities because they have food, sanitary and charity services, you don't see many homeless people in countryside areas.

>The average hobo is a fent-addicted alcoholic negro with AIDS.
Stupid racist statement with no clue about the reality of homelessness, everyone can become homeless it's about health and money not race and drugs.

Unless you live in New York or Vancouver, with a stable job you can afford one room in most european cities. I would actually put more effort into paying rent than surviving homeless life.

I don't understand why people don't want to own a home. That's really weird. What if it rains, thunderstorms, or it's really hot? They don't have money for drinking water, and everyone needs a home, even autistic people know they need a home to shelter. But don't compare us to autistic people. If we were homeless, we wouldn't be admitted to a mental hospital, but would die on the streets. Maybe the OP is right. And tambahan the chances of having a disability bagi gelandangan.

what if you don't want a regular appartment because both renting and owning suck. what if you don't want a bank account and a job and a phone, what if you don't want to use money but stay with nature. you can't you have to have some pieces of paper that allow you to be in a place because by default you are forbidden everywhere and you don't have rights because those can be taken away from you at any moment by the violent people acting like there is an emergency. and they really really love acting and the emergency acting is their favorite. you don't have rights, there are laws to which you are a a subject, a prisoner. "rights" is the narrative to trick you into accepting it.

don't act like not wanting any of this and instead just live in a tiny cave where nobody else is away from all the violence or on a tree or an illegal cabin in the woods would be strange. in my country you aren't even allowed to sleep in the woods. the degree of naivety i sense in you makes me wonder if you even understand how much of a slave you are. you probably don't allow yourself to question like that.


>n the US and Europe, every winter temperatures drop below survival levels especially during night

you think there could be other places on this planet where this isn't the case? because those places would probably be way better places to be homeless

>I don't know where people have been homeless for hundreds of thousands of years

easy. depending on who you ask, humans climbed down the trees 200.000 or 700.000 years ago. they did not build cities right away. i guess you are clueless to the history of your own species because you too were forced into child prison to receive all the necessary narratives to keep you weak and stupid… and discuss recent wars all day…

anyways X00.000 years ago the humans climed down trees and they did not build cities right away, they lived as nomads IN OTHER WORDS AS HOMELESS.

landownership was a mistake. the idea of a human, something so insignificant, owns land that's as laughable as a fly owning a waterfall. it was the mistake that separated humans from nature.

and based on this ridiculous disconnected lack of humbleness has grown all of human violence-based civilization. war, money, slavery, a few useful technologies and a an unending supply of soulcrushing technology.

how can you live your life in a way where you don't participate in this horrific mistake of thinking you can own something that will be around for longer then you will be? by going back to the roots of humanity, before cities, where humans roamed around with next to no belongings and stay where it is pleasant until it wasn't.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

I just can't believe we've been indoctrinated to think of these people as a wholesome universalist culture that is a light unto nations. They have a remarkable callous indifference to the host societies they are part of.

A lot of the soviet dissidents that escaped to the west were utterly horrified that westerners feel so much guilt towards them. In eastern europe they were running the death camps that enslaved russians during the red terror. The most sadistic killers of the 20th century have somehow made themselves out to be the victims.

I'm gonna try and be objective for a change, and say that despite being a 33 year old loser, I'm probably still better off than most people on paper. I'm able bodied, I'm (probably) not mentally deficient, I'm (probably) not hideous, I still have family that support me, I don't have trauma, and I'm not in some kind of terrible situation that I can't get out of.

Despite all that however, I simply don't have any will to improve the parts of my life I'm unhappy with. I feel like it'd be so easy for me to learn to drive again, to join some kind of social club or just be more proactive in talking to people online, but I just will not do it. And it's not like I'm generally miserable or have a problem getting up in the morning or getting things done. I can get up and go to work, I can act like I'm perfectly fine to my family, I can still enjoy video games or jerking off, but it's like there's a block in my brain about this specifically.

Am I afraid? Afraid of saying something wrong again and turning everyone off? Afraid that, even though I'm usually very self-deprecating, it's all just a defense mechanism and if I found out that everyone hates me for real real it would hurt more?

Or is it some kind of autism to actually practice what I preach in my head? Because I feel like asking for help in a real way wouldn't be something that someone who truly hates themselves and thinks they don't deserve to live would do.

Or deep inside, do I believe that this is actually just me, and if I changed these parts I would be fake and not myself anymore?

Either way it feels so ingrained in me, it might as well be my actual personally. I've been bouncing these thoughts in my head for a while and I don't really know where to go from here.

i've just accepted it over the years. there's just some things my body refuses to do and don't do them, despite the consequences and regret. i don't think i've ever managed to force myself to do something in the long-term, it just doesn't work. so i started doing the opposite, only doing things that i actually want to do, where i'm aligned, where the activity energizes me instead of tiring me, and i double down, triple down on it. i imagine there is some wisdom in the body that stops me from doing things that seem rational and wise on the surface. socializing, having sex, wageslaving - they're all evil and some part of me just refuses to participate. i don't know why, but i just blindly trust it now. maybe god has a specific path for me carved out and it's my job to find it. it's like a game of hot-and-cold but the signals are your emotions, so if you feel bad, if you don't feel like doing it, that's a signal that it's the wrong path. if it feels good, life-affirming, then it's a step in the right direction.

god or faith or ??? doesn't want you to learn how to drive. it wants to keep you in solitude because whatever you need to develop isn't going to come from other people. "self-improvement" often presupposes that certain things are good for everyone, that you ought to do them, but if a part of you firmly refuses it, then it's not for you, go around it somehow.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. But the thing is, I do feel bad about being like this. Like with the driving thing, I'd rather be someone reliable for my mom and brother.

find a way to be reliable to your mom and brother that doesn't require a car. you're aiming for the right thing but the path you're taking should be different. maybe there is something you can do that doesn't require operating a heavy metal box rolling at break neck speeds.

i live with my mom and i can't get a job cuz of my mental illness, but i can wash the dishes and cook, activities that i find enjoyable and don't have to force myself to do. if you keep running into an "invisible fence", it means the developers didn't want you to go there for whatever reason, so you should turn around and go somewhere else. it might suck and feel arbitrary, but the sooner you accept it, the sooner you will a path that isn't blocked.

>Strahd's a Bisexual sodomite degenerate with two male consorts to boot
>Made Barovians "Diverse"
>Made Strahd's conquering of the land sound tyrannical as fuck and less just
>Made it so that Some have Barovians have souls and some don't because of 5e's ravenloft being in a private demiplane, stopping newborn bodies from getting souls, in a piss-poor attempt to mimick the Old demiplanes of dread thing where some residents are literally just NPCs made by the powers, even though this makes no sense to anyone who's had to deal with Gulthias in 3.5 and Ashradorn in the whole Soul font thing with the ban on unborn souls in lore, so these people should be getting souls, because otherwise the demiplane would have to deny all positive energy for this shit to even remotely work

You're right, this thing probably began with the game itself, it's just that my personal experience is different. But the worst part of pet characters full of personality, besides having to sit through a 10 minutes argument between two imaginary bozos, is the impact this stuff has on the DM.

I'm pretty sure he's prone to fudge and pull punches because of this. The game just gets smoother if nobody dies. I asked if he could have his attack and dmg rolls in the open and he said he prefers to keep it a secret to 'keep up the tension'. Bullshit. The dice gives you a probability, that's where the tension is. I can just tell he's pulling the teeth from the monsters. I hate toothless monsters, fuck. I don't even blame him honestly, the players are whiny bitches and he's afraid to lose them.

Yes, we're 17 sessions in. And yes, the party is taking risks now, though one of the players made a claustrophobic character who refused to go inside the dungeon and literally spent an entire session watching the game happen while his character took care of the horses back on the surface. A claustrophobic character. In a DUNGEONS & Dragons game. I shit you not. By next session the character predictably managed to overcome his fears without any psychiatric help and joined the dungeon crawl.

Other than that, after my aggressive tutelage during the first four or five sessions, the game is progressing smoothly now, and handholding is no longer needed. Dungeon crawling is almost just going through the motions at this point, and everybody has their own little thing going on back in town. Everybody's happy. It's been an OK, fun game with a good group, but I've done this one million times before. Way too many times. It's hard to get excited about watching one more monster drop, adding one more imaginary gold coin to the purse, and so on. One more piece of intrigue. At least this adventure has an ending, though I don't think we'll get there for at least another couple of months' worth of sessions.

I dunno, I fucking hate this game I guess, but I have nothing else to do, and I've been gaming for so long that it's become this strange habit at this point. I think it's like those people who hate their jobs but have been doing them for so long that they miss the office during vacations. It's not just gaming, either. I despise all my little hobbies. Meh.

Ah, so it seems you're back to that ambivalent state of kinda dreading it, but still finding enough bits of enjoyment during it to keep going, similarly to your previous game. I guess that's normal to some extent, given that this hobby can sometimes be like a chore, especially now that every other form of entertainment is so low-effort and instantaneous. But you mention despise for other hobbies, do you think this is because you expect too much out of them? Or perhaps they don't feel stimulating or productive enough?

Nothing new for me in terms of RPGs, but I have been playing this play-by-email wargame that turns out to be quite enjoyable. You have to submit your orders every 2 weeks, and you control a nation in Middle-Earth. It's team-based (Free Peoples vs Mordor, we're the latter), so there is a lot of strategizing and discussion during each turn. I think it really scratches that itch I had about hard rules and clear success or failure. The mechanics are simple and elegant, yet quite powerful in all the situations they can create, and there is a chess-like quality to the whole thing. Your only direct interface with the game are your characters (commanders, agents, emissaries and mages) to whom you give orders each turn.

If you are hopelessly depressed and lonesome, you simply need a mu-opioid agonist to rectify this state of affairs and make you feel connected and whole.

Opioids are literally the chemical of social attachment, and this becomes evident shortly after you take one.

Obviously do not abuse them and take them at the lowest effective dose, and you can be like me and treat your depression for years without trouble.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?
