yes, ellie, some of us live in hell. Nothing will ever get better for us. We will only get lonelier and more isolated as we age and fall apart. And we're "grumpy butts" about it.

Like last night I got drunk and after playing William Tell with a spiderman piñata and a dildo I passed out eating a protein bar and when I woke up hung over I thought I pooped the bed for a second

So, yeah. I understand loneliness, Jonny

However!

Blackpilling yourself about it isn't doing yourself any favors. I've spent the last 11 years putting myself back together after my marriage collapsed and what passed for my mental health right along with it. I was 5150ed so many times I lost count. I overdosed on heroin three times, during one of which I stopped breathing entirely for a couple of minutes.

And I tried to protect myself from disappointment with this sort of doomsaying—hey, no expectations no letdown, right? But I wasn't protecting myself from, I was denying myself. I turned my life into a neverending psychospiritual No Nut November.

Speaking of hell, the last time I did acid it took a turn on me and I was absolutely convinced I had died and was being emotionally tortured in literal Hell. No pitchforks, no brimstone, no bees with teeth, just regret, paranoia and feeling like the biggest dipshit ever because I spent so much time killing myself at various speeds instead of, y'know, taking care of myself. I had my nose so closely pressed to the Doom Wall that I didn't see the—admittedly tall and slippery—ladder just to the left.

So after somewhere between 8 hours and a million years in literal Hell, I figured y'know what? gently caress it. They probably won't let me leave but they can't stop me trying. What the gently caress are they gonna do? Kill me? Torture me for all eternity? Already there. Nothing to lose.

And that's when I figured out that if you don't like being in hell, you can just leave. And when the demons demand to know where you're going you can flip them the bird with one hand while pulling your pants down for a nice semi-moon and say "to gently caress your mom"

Of course when you're no longer absolutely hosed out of your head you call the demon, apologize, and explain yourself, but I'm sure you get the drift here.

Feeling like poo poo isn't a choice, god knows. I feel like poo poo all the time. I feel like there's this arbitrary and finite opportunities for happiness and I've blown all of them and no one is ever going to love me ever again. I've had some major lapses into some really terrible coping behaviors within the past couple of months.

It's a lot of work to stay positive and hopefully and all that happy horseshit, but 1) depression lies 2) even if I am deluding myself and denying objective reality or whatever, so what? "Tomorrow will be better" might not be true, might be ridiculous, but it helps and at least my delusions are cooler than some shithead with "serial entrepreneur" in his LinkedIn bio.

Anyway, I'm going to go barf up what's left of last night's pinot noir and take a shower.

this was back around when facetime came out, and the boss was the kind of guy who took whatever apple was pushing as gospel. there were three of us in kind of a loft area, and one designer who worked remotely. so if we had a meeting with all of us it had to involve microphones. hence even though 3/4 of us could swivel chairs to look at each others dumb faces, we all did it the apple way, the best way, the only way

did you ever watch midnight gospel (netflix)?

the part about the clear light of mesoamerican/buddhist thought is amazing

the interconnectedness (ref: TooL) of everything and that death is a joining was really helpful in dealing with the death of others and my own inevitable one

no shame in your post m8, it resonated and i felt as if one


very different from a dxm trip though, where i feel entirely contained within my body and aware of its foibles, if my bp is too high or i'm fat from too much drank, good check-in but bad for healthy
