Thinking about getting back into reading or tv

I’m starting to do too much work on projects. I’ve been up since 4am working on music and coding.

I love it but I’m not 20 anymore. I can’t do 13 hour days 7days a week anymore. I’m Soo afraid because I think the characters can hear my brain and dislike me and send subtle messages that I’m bad.

I have to find a way to have down time again. Before I was on abilify the delusion was bearable but now I don’t even do tv anymore. Same with videogames with a lot of story line.

I want to learn to relax sometimes :joy: Im starting to think that the 10-15 hr days might start to effect me negatively if I don’t find a way to chill

Ironically..the app I’m finishing up has a measure for rest from projects. It’s a part of the overall wellbeing score on the app.

If I start watching tv …I need to know I’m not actually broadcasting my thoughts and it’s in my head :head_shaking_vertically:

I’d avoid triggers even though tv for most people can be really relaxing entertainment. Reading is too intense for me even, so often if I get into reading I’ll get insomnia and racing thoughts. Lots of videogames dont have characters. I play videogames a lot but I dont have your set of symptoms.

Hey if you feel you need the goal listen to yourself.

Im the other way I like to be completely free of any burdens. A long term goal for me gives me such a desire to escape, I do best with nothing on my plate. I do small necessary projects like around the house but I usually find a quick cheap way to get it done.

Have you ever played human fall flate?

Nope never heard of it

It’s like portal on steroids… And that actually sounds nice right now but I am wired the other way . I love to keep busy

human fall flat feels so difficult. I think I got to like level 10 but the puzzles get serious. The controls are kind of hard for me too.

Yea…human fall flate is hard. I think I got somewhere around 10 too. Or I think maybe 5 :joy: whatever one the crane that you need to break down the wall. And do that harder puzzle after.

I prob could have solved it but I got fed up lol @Agent101g

I’m still on portal reloaded. I beat 1and 2 but haven’t started playing the reloaded version.

I guess there is a time travel element to it or something @Rainstorm

Or actually I might not have beaten 2
