(Only call him my buddy because he works all the overnight shifts and I always have tended to go there during those shifts, so we talk a lot basically.) I ended up informing him about a few things regarding Ebola, and he told me a lot of things about his personal muslim beliefs (the discussion strayed toward religion/faith after the topic of fear of death from Ebola). I don't know why/if any of this is important at all. -Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? :armouredkitten: |

Sorry dude. You're fucked. Even though I know this is bullshit, I wish it were a certainty. That way I could stop irrationally worrying about contracting it and get on to accepting certain death. -Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? :armouredkitten: |

Not that it was an excuse. It was more of an explanation as to how one could spend almost an hour at a 7/11 talking to the clerk. Believe me, I am grateful for everything that comes my way. The tenant below my apartment offered me free yoga classes today. I am so psyched to start that tomorrow -Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? :armouredkitten: |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55665504 you already know your physical body is definitely going to die someday why does it matter when it happens? This is the problem I am facing though. When it happens matters absolutely nothing to me. I have been living for the past couple of years as though I were already dead, but too lazy or afraid to do the work of dying. Like a lot of us, I am sure, I have hoped for some sort of doom which involves the possibility of a swift and relatively painless death (environmental, war, whatever), yet I had never even calculated the risk of the possibility of such a pandemic that is occurring in the US. -Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? :armouredkitten: |

(OP) User ID: 61094430 United States 10/08/2014 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | how can you even retain such a negative view of reality through the experiences with psychedelics Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55665504 weren't you paying attention? didn't you learn anything? Psychedelics by-and-large are not 100% pure and godly experiences, and are HIGHLY subject to the stimulus one is subjected to during the experience. Bad trips are a real thing. To put the experience in terms of -10 -- 0 -- +10: During the eclipse and peak, I was at about a +7. I felt so close to "god". After the moon set, and I came inside and started exploring the doom-laden internet, this level immediately shot down to a -8 and wavered from -8 to -2 for several hours. Yes, these numbers are incredibly relative terms, but they are the closest I can get to describing the feeling.

I think the being high really brought me in tune with my feeling and unfortunately it was a pretty negtive feeling. Sounds like the same thing happened with you and ebola. The good news is it's just a memory, an emotional memory but not like I go around feeling that horror all the time. It faded substantially within a few days. You will probably start feeling better in a little while. |
