I can empathise with you. Warning : some armchair psychology ahead : I think it's the age old "less dopamine kick" syndrome. Your brain is used to getting a steady stream of dopamine when you watch/react/post on soc

Not OP or the author but is "therapy" a worthy enough goal? I sometimes look back at some of my notes and feel a (nice) sense of time having passed by. Reminds me of how much little time we all have :)

Your comment resonates with me. I have always been a bit of "left-brained" when it comes to things like "rebirth" and assumed these things are fiction. Just learning to not reaching any conclusions and accept that this m
