I'm tired of the mental gymnastics my own brain does. Just spewing negative, anxious shit 24/7.>doomscrolling doesn't help >alcohol doesn't do it anymore>wanting to form friendships yet my social skills are horrendous>stopped talking with others due to having social skills of a retard>still thinking about bullshit from 5-10 years ago that bothers me to this day and the brain doesn't shut the fuck up about itHow does one even achieve inner-peace to move foward? What is there to do to root out this way of life? Can I be saved?
>>34649636Medidation + exposure therapy + socializing + hobbies + spirituality/religion + exercise + eating right + sleeping well + journaling + maybe therapy (mixed opinions here). In general, clean living. And if that doesn't work then MAYBE consider meds (very decisive topic here but if nothing else works I would at least try them for a bit).
>>34649636Everything other anon said, plus keep trying to make friends and talk to people. Social skills are skills like any other and they only get better through practice
>>34649636Your brain isn't doing any of that, you are. Your attitude is the product of your thoughts, and your thoughts are the product of your beliefs. If you want to change your attitude and overall mood, then you have to introspect and change what you believe so that your thoughts are truthful and beneficial, rather than false and harmful. Getting into the habit of studying and then meditating on what you've read would be a great step forward. To begin with, I'd personally recommend 'As a Man Thinketh' by James Allen, and 'The Discourses of Epictetus'.
