What was the best advise you've ever been given?

yeah same is happening to me… quit gaming but i am so in to pornn…cant help myself…

You can quit it,trust me it takes some time and some effort,@jukebox told me don’t quit everything at once,quit it one thing at a time,I am quitting porn…

i quit until i don get chance to play…so more game coming …i am wating 4 batman arkham knight to come…so keep on gaming…tc

the best advice ive ever been given: your experiences are not because of any scientific development. they are not religious. they are a mental illness and we already have that on the books. we have many cases, just like you. some are helped with medication but were always doing research on what works for all of you, and what keeps people alive, because we need to help each other down the road in life…will you help us shed some light on your illness? and I couldn’t stop talking after that…trying to find the words, but thank you anyway.

Actually… I’m grateful for the advice @77nick77 has given me about how to navigate the college process… student with disabilities office…

It sure did help me get my footing to make it. Now that I’m getting the hang of it… I don’t need them as much. But it’s nice to know they are there if I do.

‘‘learn to ride the waves’’

simply but effect advise there.

It’s not really advice… but an old hippy surfer once told me in one of his ramblings…

Life is like the ocean… bigger then you think. Let it flow and ride it out.

One time in my advanced health class we had to pair up and wrap a fake knife wound. I was scared to ask any one to be my partner so my health teacher mrs. yoder took me aside and told me, “no one is better than any one else in my class room” that resonated with me and still does. My senior year i was part of the speech and debate team, and my original oratory was about bullying and suicides (this was before the anti-bullying thing was a big deal) i quoted her in it.

My current psychiatrist - “Sometimes the meds do more harm than good”
I found this to be a bit surprising, especially coming from a psychiatrist - but she is right

I hope you feed the good wolf. It’s hard at first and the evil wolf won’t let you, but afterwards if you work on yourself, you’ ll feel better and will want to feed the good wolf. :smile:

Maybe this isn’t the right school for you.
From therapist at W&M Williamsburg.

This came as quite a shock as I used to try and make “5 year plans” like the commies set in stone. At that time I was in no position to go to school at all but I kept beating my head against the wall.
I learned change is ok.

Lol…man …who dont love porn

Yea, verily. I began to build a weblog of insight-building lyrics recently. Several pshrinques I know are using “lyric therapy” for insight work. For my generation – and/or for me personally – Alanis Morissette’s work from 1995-2008 has been The Bomb, but I have gotten heaps of useful edification from John Lennon (in the Beatles and after), Pete Townshend (The Who, especially “Quadrophenia”), early U2 (like “Boy”), Pink Floyd (well, duh), Fiona Apple, No Doubt, Todd Rundgren’s late '70s to early '00s stuff (cult-ural deprogramming, big time), David Crosby, Sheryl Crow, Tears for Fears (about guilt & shame), and lately, Roxy Music on sex, love and romance addiction.

But the best advice I’ve gotten has come from digging very hard into 1) cognitive-behavioral therapy via Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, Martin Selgman, Jeffrey Young and Wayne Dyer, and 2) modern mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and, as a direct result, moving on into Eastern spiritualism via whiz-bangs like Stephen Levine, Charles Tart, Arthur Deikman, Daniel Goleman, Pema Chodron, Chogyam Trungpa and (hands down) Jiddu Krishnamurti. It’s not frothy woo woo at all. Very pragmatic. Very straightforward. Very effective.

Some examples:

“Common sense is more often common than sense.” – C. Wright Mills

“What we believe controls how we will feel about everything we encounter
…and what we will do about it.” – Albert Ellis

“What is false must be put away if what is true is to be.” – J. Krishnamurti

“Reward or ignore; never punish.” – Ho Ne Lin (you should see her)

“Literal language is the means whereby the mind loosens its contact with reality and becomes a self-consistent system of tokens.” – Iain McGilchrist

“Believing what we are taught, instead of what we can see for ourselves, we cannot fit in the world. Forgetting how to eat, we begin to starve at the banquet.” – Arthur Deikman

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” – J. Krishnamurti
