classic aapeli moment

yea

Deleted User

tv taught me how to feel or whatever

I learned to listen to my emotions and uncover my mental health problems throgh trial by fire. I moderated, messed up a lot, and then accumulated enough trauma (thanks to my pre-existing traumatized brain from day 1) to realize it was a problem and actually do trauma work I don't recommend this approach, I think it's better to go to therapy if you have problems and if CBT isn't working ask a mental health professional if trauma could be a factor

oh the lack thereof wasnt just bc of trauma but i appreciate it :P im going through books abt mindfulness + ive read into a handful of handbooks n stuff on the subject

5:24 PM

i dont try to replace my true feelings or anything like that

5:24 PM

havent for a while

aapeli 🟣🥫🥔 ae

oh i read it completely wrong pluralthonk

i think it isnt bad that they were able to make 6 hours of time available

5:26 PM

but

5:26 PM

that cant be healthy to do without breaks

likely waiting for some alien thing to happen in their head (edited)

wish there was more context

berockly (TTG)

thoughts?

this is all the context there is? yeah like. 6hrs is a lot

5:29 PM

6 hours continuously is a silly amount to force imo

5:29 PM

you're not even getting diminishing returns there that's negative returns

id be tired if i went 6 hours straight doing the same things too

sigma grindset

6hrs passive forcing is healthy! but have you ever literally sat down and talked to someone for 6hrs straight with no activities or breaks?

5:30 PM

it's exhausting

exactly

I wonder if they were asking if the exhaustion was a good sign lmao

5:32 PM

Thats what they did tho

5:32 PM

"Without moving a single muscle"

"without moving a single muscle" means they were holding a LOT of tension in various parts of their body

my neck would have cracked like 4 times consecutively after that

yes

hate to admit it but anime/games/ect taught me personality traits throughout my life so i enjoy kind of picking them apart

yes, this helped us a lot too! How we see it is, the helpful thing is having strong and clear archetypes to examine and think about

8:36 PM

games and anime happen to be a rich and engaging source of these, and also a source of examples of more complex characters too

8:38 PM

I think games and anime are especially strong because they are forms of media where the setting tends to be more fantastical, and so it can be a chance to see personality traits for what they are, in a fresh environment that isn't like what we're used to in daily life

8:39 PM

I also agree with what Leiko said. Watching shows and playing games can feel like a safe way to feel emotions, and that's very much been the case for my system

8:40 PM

when watching shows alone, we can often feel really strong emotions, eg. we basically cry at every single sad scene. It's different when we watch things with separate people

yeah i always feel distracted by other peoples opinions which sucks but eh. its life

8:57 PM

other people involved is also just 5/10 times mid i dont particularly enjoy it most times

oh no, I hope you can find some people to enjoy watching shows with sometime! It's about hanging out with the right people, at least that's what we've found

i watch with people online sometimes but very occasionally

altho it's different to watch something with others, it's a good kind of different. My experience is very different watching something with others compared to watching it alone

i watch with people online sometimes but very occasionally

ah same, we've done that a few times

also in VRChat!

I, (13 NB) have recently found out about Tulpamancy and I’m currently trying to manifest one. I have already determined his appearance and name (Tallulah), but 3 things are stopping me atm.

1. Am I rushing him? I’ve heard that it takes time for a Tulpa to find out about who they are, but I’ve only been developing Tallulah  for about 3 days.

2. Should I take them to school with me? If we are gonna be sharing a brain at some point, I would like to familiarize him with common things in my life, but at the same time my friends/peers might bully me for having an “imaginary friend.”

3. How do I interact with my Tulpa if I know that my mom will judge me/call me insane if she finds out I still have an imaginary friend? I’ve kept it under wraps so far (my mom already knows that I talk to myself a lot so she isn’t confused as to why I’m having conversations with thin air) but I fear if I go any further as in genuinely interacting with him, my mom will judge me.

I am willing to bet Tallulah is an egg

I am willing to bet Tallulah is an egg

Like a plushie egg?

What does this mean

all of these are great form options (if you are insane)

This one makes me uncomfy

11:57 PM

Egg with legs and tail but no arms or face

11:58 PM

Maybe local Pegasus should consider not drawing (/j)

~~tbh more uncomfortable with that squareass face~~ (edited)

It looks like the bottom half is broken and the dragon inside is just popping out

Then why does it have hair

12:00 AM

No option is good

berockly (TTG)

thoughts?

was that you?

No

aight just wondering

1:29 AM

sorry

Ugh. I feel like I'm not knowing something about tulpas everyone else does. Why is it so easy for everyone to force?

whats the difficult part in it

the hardest part is realising you aren’t supposed to force anything

What do you mean by that exactly? (edited)

Concentrating, finding time, finding motivation, finding something to do everyone enjoys, combating mind fog, battling intrusive thoughts, sleepiness & drowsyness, ...

:(

how much do you need to concentrate on it

5:59 PM

for me its as easy as thinking and she answers if she has anything to say, and we dont "force" at all, just talk throughout the day

6:00 PM

it might sound dumb but if you drop the expectation of it taking concentration, it could get easier

6:01 PM

and by thinking i mean thinking in a way that addresses her, but that doesnt take any more effort than just thinking about anything else

For me it takes energy to form coherent thoughts

hmm

Velvet does not understand tulpish well

i mean if you have brain fog it sounds like a brainfog problem and i dont know what to do about that

6:03 PM

mind fog

yeah, thanks anyways. If anybody else has ideas, please share them lol. I just want tulpamancy to come to me naturally

maybe kitkat knows or can relate since she had covid brain fog

‍♂️

6:05 PM

im assuming thats why you have it

6:05 PM

but that should eventually clear up

is your thyroid ok

Tewi: Man, you're one 10 to 14 years' degree from being a doctor. (edited)

12:51 AM

I don't think "checking if your thyroid is okay" is that easy, but something like that could be the cause instead of ADHD, yeah.

ewww being a doctor is cringe

12:52 AM

i mean i have thyroid problems, all they mentioned is part of symptoms, checking it is very easy (ultrasound + blood test) and medication helps so just asking out of curiosity because maybe they know already (edited)

thyroid is not as cool as adhd i guess

12:57 AM

if they went to a doctor with those symptoms (even a psychiatrist) they would probably get them do a blood test for thyroid and 20 other stuff because they can also be caused by defficiencies

12:57 AM

unless it’s not severe ofc

1:00 AM

wish mental health disorders were as easily tested and treated

Hello there, people. I'd like to know, if there are hosts, who let their tulpas help them with work stuff. If yes - I'd like to ask you to specify, how do they help you, to which extent, do you both cooperate on some kind of tasks. Though, I guess these questions may be asked as not only work related.

We’re not exactly tulpas, but most of the work we all share. The ones who front the most do the work, regardless of who they are.

7:15 AM

We just consider the most frequent fronters with the most significant responsibilities to be our hosts. We have two or three hosts as a result, and all of them generally pitch in on income, academic, and chore-related busywork.

Does that mean that these some specific hosts of yours are more experienced with the stuff they do then the others? Did the others try to participate in same activities, but have shown worse results?

I wouldn’t say so. It’s just easier for certain people to front for longer periods, be it because they don’t get as tired, are more experienced with fronting, or are simply more automatically favored by our brain for fronting.

7:25 AM

Generally, though, all our efforts will produce relatively identical results. For example, we earn money through illustration work, but all of us can draw and paint with the exact same skill level and generally the same quality in our completed work.
