cutting
isolate so i dont infect others with my mental illness
>>42377845>AlcoholWhats your drink of choice, how often do you sip?
>>42377850I feel like tacos are a special treat. They help mix things up which makes me appreicate pizza even more.Pizza needs tacos to exist
>>42377872Same, its been a long time since i went outside, i get abuse anyway.
>>42377870Im sorry anon, i did that regularly until i couldnt. It sucks
>>42377836Music and John Frusciantehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4MldJyqkQA
>>42377868I dont think humans are meant to grind away in soulless jobs, and we're not meant to be neets either.We're meant to have a purpose, i think. And a community.
>>42377860What characters are these anon? Are you an artist?
>>42377938>i get abuse anyway.wdym, from randoms in public?
>>42377954I just looked him up, hes the guitarist for the red hot chilli peppers. Thanks for sharing anon
>>42377836escapism, relentless escapism, I feel like ive missed most of my life because of this
>>42377970Yeah, just as i walk around people will spit and threaten to attack me. It sucks, but i have to block it out mentally, focus on the good in my life (cakes)
>>42377974>escapismVideo games and movies? I like sci fi books from back in the day
>>42377836Lots of listening to music I love with my eyes closed, or saving the issue for future me
>>42377983video games, music, and drugs mostly but manga sometimes
>>42377912Lmao bruh i just drink a fourloko or 2 usually gets me fucked up for the whole night and the shit is cheap but as soon as i can get liquor im probably gonna start slamming Hennessy down
i think cooking for myself keeps me grounded a little bit, i try to make something fairly nice every day even if i can barely manage anything else. also going outside to look at bugs always helps me feel better but right now everything's all cold and lifeless and covered in shitty grey watery snow sludge and i hate it
>>42377979that sounds horrible.. im sorry to hear that anon... what causes that reaction from people? are you visibly trans/gay in a shitty area?>focus on the good in my life (cakes)oh, do you bake?? what's your favourite flavour of cake?
>>42377972He's my favorite artist, I used to listen to him a lot when I was depressedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQeEM9Gs-IMNow have one of a french dude that was best friend with ACDC's singerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4YSIgjAiWM
>>42378005>fourlokoI looked this up, the website that sells it calls it a premium malt beverage. You must be rich to drink so a prestigious drink!Hennessey is popular, i remember going out and everyone had a bottle. I havent been out in a long time
>>42378018Cooking is nice, i like that things go from inedible to edible, just add heat.Do you live near woodland? The bugs will all be sleeping until the spring now, humans should learn to hibernate too
>>42378021I love cookies, and layer cake. Cakes are probably the main reason i havent ended it yet lol, that and my video games. Starting to get into movies again too.Yeah, i live somewhere hostile, i just have to be careful i dont get hurt, avoid eye contact, walk quickly, dont go out when dark
>>42378040Thanks for the links anon. I found my old headphones, so its interesting to actually hear hidden melodies and beats in music again
>>42378018One extremely easy thing to do is garlic butter.Just make butter melt into a pan with some thinly sliced (or grated) garlic for like 5 minutes and then it's ready. just make sure nothing gets dark brown.Extremely good sauce for plain white rice!
>>42377836Listen to music and look at art and photography on pinterest + tumblr Read manga or vns that I like Drink green tea or Korean roasted barley tea (this is especially good for detoxifying your stomach / body) https://youtube.com/watch?v=MtTX1FReV1c&si=I19DMRljvcHQOT9t
>>42378091Nta but if you like cake and sweets in general you will probably like this person's page. They have really elegant taste https://pin.it/5kAIXGK0H (you have to click the section that says "Created", not "Saved")
>>42378105Miso soup with cucumbers and other vegetables is good to have with rice Also kimchi especially if it's white rice
>>42378105Will try this, thanks anon.
>>42378173white miso with red carrots, yam and mochi <3Or if you have leftovers just do an ochazuke with some sankaibushi
>>42378163I love cakes so much, i dont care if i get fat, its my only copeI love that page, i really appreicate nice crockery sets
>>42378189>ochazuke I found out about this recently from pinterest and I think pouring tea INTO FOOD is the food equivalent of nails on a chalkboard >sankaibushi it says it has umeboshi paste, my mom actually used to give me umeboshi paste for stomach problems when i was a kid and it really helped. she taught me about macrobiotics, its traditional Japanese diet and East Asian medicine I also liked drinking matcha tea because she told me macrobiotics recommends matcha and kukicha tea because they have less caffeine but in my experience I noticed that matcha tea gives me bad luck. People think I'm crazy and its my ocd but I've experienced examples that show me it's not just a coincidence. Chinese people also talk about this and say how certain types of elements (in their 5 elements system) and/or colors affect different people and give them good or bad luck. I think everybody is playing on their own "settings" in reality and has different things that work for them specifically Also I think red miso may be healthier than white
>>42378074That shit is 4 dollars far from prestigious back in the day it used to get you real fucked up tho
>>42378222I tried it and its okay. The tea is not supposed to be hot otherwise the rice gets cooked in it. Just warm. And just a little bath, you don't cover everything, it's not a soup. I used genmaicha instead of plain green tea. The thing is to also let the rice cool down so its doesn't disintegrate in the tea.>sankaibushI don't have a pot right now but it's umeboshi with bonito.Isn't matcha supposed to have more caffeine since it's shade-grown? You should consider hojicha it has almost no caffeine in it.Red miso is good. I love all miso. I have one that is really dark. Very difficult to use and quickly overtaken by anything citrusy/agrumy. I use it with onions cooked in it for added sharpness and a little ponzu, as a ramen sauce with buckwheat soba.
>>42378299I'm not sure, but I noticed organic matcha would make me calm and give me really good blood circulation because I would suddenly get the urge to stretch a lot right after drinking it and it would feel really good lol And thanks, I think I've seen hojicha in the store before. I just tried Korean roasted barley tea last night for the first time and it was amazing. My stomach felt so good after, it felt like a full body detox and I had more energy. It was really nice for my stomach especially because it tasted perfect, it wasn't too bitter or sour. It was like taking a shower after a workout but for my stomach lol I've had soba noodles before, they're really good. Macrobiotics also says that buckwheat is really good to eat in winter because it keeps your body warm
>>42378199I'm happy you like it, I think whoever runs it has amazing taste. If you dont want to get fat from sweets, just drink regular green tea (sencha which is Japanese, or Chinese green tea) and dont eat sweets that have eggs in them.I also don't eat meat or dairy products (except chocolate sometimes) which helps.Did you know that humans have longer digestive tracts than carnivorous animals, so when they eat meat, it passes through their body quickly, but when humans eat meat, it takes longer to pass through, and as a result causes buildup of bacteria which leads to development of disease? I found out about this in a book about macrobiotics
>>42378299>>42378336Ive been taking a detox drink, but its probably the most horrendously disgusting thing ive ever swallowed. Its like 9 different powders combined, but god damn its great at detoxxing the body, it really does just transform your insides into something good
>>42378336There is also a lot of barley tea in Japan. For me I find it gives me stronger dreams. I especially like to mix it with cream a little sugar. I just find it to be bad for my teeth I get lot of plaque the day after.Hojicha is very different from oolong or black tea. It’s a roasted green tea with a savory flavor and a very gentle taste.Buckwheat noodles contain a lot of starch, so I rinse them briefly before eating. In some Japanese restaurants, you can also drink a bit of the cooking water, white and very cloudy. It's called sobayu.
>>42378381Powders aren't as strong as the real things they're from I think You should try roasted dandelion root tea. I drink that a lot but I like the Korean barley tea more now since I've tried it
>>42378336>>42378381A popular choice in Japan for detox is burdock. It's taste is like "dirt and peanuts" haha.I've never been into this "detox" thing, I just enjoy all the different tastes :)
>>42378396>For me I find it gives me stronger dreams. That's so interesting I had vivid dreams my entire life since I was a kid until some supernatural stuff I did around a year ago that made me stop being able to remember my dreams for the most part ever since. Nowadays I'll remember a few images from my dream and forget everything else but then later in the day I see a word or something that was in my dream and then I remember that part of the dream. Do you live in Japan? I personally like Korea more (and my birth name is also a Korean girls name lol) and my Mom had a dream where she saw an island that had specific characteristics that match an island that exists in Korea, she found out about the island after the dream. I've had bottled oolong tea a few times and I liked it. I don't recall how black tea affected me but I avoid it because apparently it's high caffeine and coffee has made my ocd much worse every single time I've drank it.
>>42377938I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't know your exact situation, but I hope you feel better soon. I used to hug people when I was feeling really down, but unfortunately, not everyone is willing to hug a stranger.For now I sent u a hug and everyone else on this thread too
>>42378415I like tea because of how it affects me physiologically and mentally. I notice a difference
>>42378464For now I'm in Japan but I will have to leave soon :(I wanted to visit Korea but I have a bad infection right now.For the dreams, I always wanted to induce lucid dreams. I never managed to have them voluntarily, but it happened a few times.For me, recalling my dreams it tied with my mood and overall health. I don't recall anything if I am depressed. But they can get pretty intense, and even nested in each others when I am healthy and happy.Hojicha and oolong have a totally different taste. I even had hojicha before bed and it was fine (although there is a small amount of caffeine)
>>42377836Cry myself to sleep, or have a mental breakdown and smash shit around my room. Anything to reach an emotional or mental climax
>>42378468I'm not the person u replied to but <3 https://youtube.com/watch?v=PQK2QbMW-Qk&si=D5tpn2MHlv2Q1CY5
>>42378497I'm sorry, I hope you get better soon >I even had hojicha before bed and it was fine (although there is a small amount of caffeine I think Asians are naturally more immune to caffeine or something, cause I saw a pic on pinterest from I think a Korean girl of her holding 2 cans of coffee and it was night, and in multiple different mangas there were scenes where characters were drinking coffee or tea at night. Ik people with adhd actually get relaxed from caffeine so idk I actually have adhd but I dont think its that severe and when I drink matcha tea or green tea in the evening I cant sleep for a while, but when I drink green tea in the morning I often fall asleep again quickly after, it's weird
>>42378633Well, their coffee is drip coffee, and has less caffeine by cup compared to espressos.Although I did see some couple get a big cup of black coffee from the konbini past midnight lol.Tea also contains L-Theanine which acts as some kind of "relaxant" but also interacts with caffeine. It's specific effects probably changes from person to person.
I just ate some chocolate! Ice cream later.Im just actually hungry
>>42377836Alcohol, weed, sometimes trying to reach out to others to try to quell my crushing loneliness, usually failing. Often I just cry.>>42377872Yeah... That's usually what the "failing" part entails above. Got a lot of experience/trauma that no one wants to deal with someone who's sad...>>42377912Absinthe is good. I guess most nights I'm having at least one drink, but it's been less lately. Not because the depression is better ('cause it's much worse), mostly just because it often doesn't help.>>42378091I'm sorry, nona. :(
