Oh, no. The doses I mention are significantly lower than those for BPD. If you really care for my advice, smoke pot richer in CBD, something like 1:1 ...

Thanks. What are more of your thoughts about why people commit suicide?

Over what, and has this resulted in suicidal ideation?

What makes you say that guilt is the primary motivation for committing suicide?

Sorry, I don't quite understand this. Secondary as the root cause or a casual factor or confounding factor? But, wallowing is fine? :sweat:

What's the whole deal with suicidal idealization? I mean, psychologically what is driving the mind to generate these thoughts? Does this happen on a s...

Hence, pragmatics?

Yeah, it's a bitter pill to swallow in that coming to terms with being fundamentally flawed in societies view. I don't know how to ease the pain, as i...

Hey Noah Te Stroete, It's good that you're comfortable in sharing these life experiences and details. I'm a bit of a misanthrope, so your story is a q...

Magikal beer time.

Yeah, jogging my memory a bit, the socio-economic landscape of Australia has changed to such an extent, that elderly folk are having a hard time copin...

I don't think suicide as being irrational. Some might even say that suicide is the result of an overly-rational mind.

Some material in case anyone is interested: Why does Japan have such a high suicide rate? -BBC Suicides among Japanese young people hit 30-year high -...

So wallowsome...

But stress is unavoidable and apart of life. How do you walk away from stress?

Hi Corra. What do you mean by walking away from the source of stress?

Yes, I think so. Depending on your route of choice, inhalation gets better bio availability; but, shorter half-life.

“Ira furor brevis est” (Anger is a brief madness). Those that behave irrationally get rewarded for their efforts. Depressing; but true.

Not sure, the common textbook/generic idea about repressed emotion is manifest in depression. Deep depression is when anger is also repressed, or no i...

I'm thinking of instances where anger has been utilized by me or others in life. When I used to work jobs, I found that customers who get angry, get t...

I have read on some psychology sites that anger is a masking emotion or an emotion that disallows us from confronting problems in life. Hence the OP?

What do you mean by 'category error'? Maybe more 'redundant' or 'irrelevant'?

According to Anthony, a neurosis. There is some merit to this idea, that repressed emotions gives rise to neurotic behavior or thoughts. Though I thin...

Puzzling. I always thought anger was a primary emotion. Children get angry all the time if things don't go their way. I suspect anger to be an infanti...

Hey Tiff, I know you are into Cannabis products. And wanted you to know that CBD is a pretty potent antidepressant and anti-inflammatory drug. I recom...

Well, philosophy is born out of existential questions like, who am I, or, what should I do, or, what's the right way to live. These questions fundamen...

What's arrogant about stating the obvious? Philosophy is such a wide field that if you want to be good at it, I suppose you need a higher IQ to be goo...

I think, self-improvement is one aspect of philosophy that doesn't get mentioned enough. People are often drawn towards philosophy to improve their li...

Hi Coben, I meant to imply that most great philosophers that are known to us have had the quality of being exceedingly intelligent. Now, I wanted to h...

Hi Anthony. What do you mean by saying that psychosis abates neurosis and anger?

Wallowsome.

Coming back to this thread... I see anger as detrimental to personal growth and enlightenment. The Stoics knew very well about the issue of anger and ...

Scholars should take her philosophy more seriously given that we had and still do have people with bright minds who adopted her philosophy. Alan Green...

Cheers.

Try adding some lithium to your regimen. Of course that won't solve everything; but, lithium is well-known to boost the effectiveness of antidepressan...

On the Wikipedia page regarding Identity Formation, there is listed a rather straightforward breakdown of identity formation in the young. https://en....

Wallowsome.

:party:

And yet, I contest, that it's exacerbated by the internet.

Do you spend any time on Facebook, Tinder, or Twitter? You can see this post again: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/301866

That's one of the cruxes of the internet. It's a substitute for feelings of loneliness, boredom, sadness, angst, and anger, which are all of these imp...

Well, some people are considering leaving a child with a PC to the internet, as 'benign neglect'. I think there's some merit to this idea, given what ...

So, then the issues of inadequacy or social approbation become sublimated on the internet, where one can exercise their issues with other unknowing in...

Then, maybe correlation does not imply causation; but, the internet sure can amplify these dysphoric moods. This is what Erikson had to say about iden...

Were there any outcries of the TV, as a new form of entertainment, and the dying off of radio in your days? I know a lot of sentiment was geared again...

Yes; but, this isn't a matter of opinion anymore. Just check the Wikipedia article on Cyberpsychology. https://i.imgur.com/17Gavck.png

Yes, the internet is detrimental to personal growth in my opinion. Reactions to this sentiment can be found in Jordan Peterson, and Marxist criticisms...

Then let us know about the latter part? The internet seems to promote dis-inhibition in the form of sharing personal details, deep feelings, insecurit...

So, based on your view, how does this bias affect the development of one's identity for young children. I mean, assuming unrestricted access to any we...

That sounds awfully behaviorist. I don't quite think this is right. How would you explain the clinical symptom of anhedonia?
