Lately I keep hearing these weird clicks from inside the frontal lobe of my brain. And yet at the same time it's like I'm not hearing them at all, but feeling like I am, if that makes any sense. Do I have a brain tumor or something else horrible? :(

Ahhh I don't know, lostonearth35. If it's still happening, could you get it checked out just to ease your mind? My gut feeling is it's probably nothing awful, but what do I know :D


I get a bit manic and forget to eat, then I have trouble resuming eating... I think it's sensory but I'm not sure. Suddenly my body knows it's hungry but food is just repellent. Olfaction, taste, chewing, swallowing, food in the belly. Eugh.

Anyway, I had some miso eggplant with rice, and I'm really pleased about it. :-)

Therapy (for me) is like taking a good dump
I get almost instant gratification from it

"Sure it's important to keep yourself regular, like."

Food is a Go and I'm really happy about it! I wasn't hungry hungry but I was hungry and I had to throw away a few bits and pieces.

No it's really hard mate

its feels like a punch every time I feel something. Even if it's supposed to be a good feeling

I'm not sure where I've been all my life to be honest

When something like that happened to me I thought it was just anhedonia.

See something beautiful - pain.
See something loved - pain.
Like every feeling twisted into that one feeling.

But it sounds like maybe you're talking about feeling something you've got to feel?

The process is just crap. Is the learning at least taking you someplace good?

If even the good things hurt no wonder it's been a struggle, mate.

We really need those good feelings. For survival, like, not as a nice-to-have.

That's really clear. You're off doing this and off doing that and supporting people and being witty and warm and perceptive in the chats... you're doing it all. You're on top of it all.

But I know it's not easy.

I think it's normal to panic when it's that painful. There's something wrong and maybe your system's got to sound some alarm bells about it.

But you're doing everything right.

Are you feeling like your systems are doing what they need to be doing, that you're getting what you need from them?

It seems like it's been really hard for you to talk about what you need and I hope the therapy is helping a lot with that.

It just fecking hurts, really. I'm so sorry.
