I can easily imagine that if you're not being distracted on all sides constantly, those crippling insecurities and chronic stress all come into focus, because there's nothing else to think about.
- mettamage 7y agoFor me, I started thinking in loops and got completely derailed. I became a bit manic, a bit depressed and a bit psychotic. There was also 2 hours of pure evil and 2 hours of equanimous love (which is awesome). I learned from these experiences that I am not my thoughts as I couldn’t identify with all of them, yet I kept thinking them. I also learned a lot about myself in general at the time. Ultimately, the whole experience was really educational. But at the same time, it was as crazy as a psychedelic trip yet much deeper. But I don’t feel I experienced that I consumed my thoughts. If anything, I saw how I thought. I saw how I’m smart and how I’m crazy. And how being social keeps me sane since it breaks the loop.
