Some forms of magnesium can help with sleep. Magnesium threonate makes me tired but doesn’t have a rebound effect like melatonin where I jolt awake when it wears off. The only issue is its cost, though it’s worth it for me.

Dopamine seeking?

I knew some families with that behavior. They are rare, but extremely hurtful. Look into trauma therapy (and ask a therapist what makes them qualified for that, instead of taking their word). You may have developed some hidden coping mechanisms just to survive, and a (good) therapist can help you determine if those mechanisms help or hurt you.

Your brother’s behavior seems extremely uncommon, to say the least. I can’t imagine that behavior being tolerated in a (functional) work place.

I wish you the best.

Eat until you’re not hungry, not when you’re full. That may require eating more slowly. It will be an adjustment for sure.

Woah, you’re right. I assumed this was someone’s highly produced fan demo. Devo really covered it. Hot damn

How the hell is this 15 years old? It’s really well done. Must’ve been a lot of work

1. I’d bucket them as “A Deftones backbone with metal flourishes and pop sensibilities”. That’s a big mix of people, and so they can attract more fans.

Note: I’m not a huge fan of them, but have enjoyed a few of their songs.

Pick something in your daily life that you want to make more convenient. Start searching for tutorials, necessary hardware, and related coding.

Even something simple like, “I wish I didn’t have to turn on my fan because it’s in the corner.” Boom: look into building a motion sensor that runs a fan, and maybe it connects via a USB port for power.

Convince yourself it doesn’t need to perfect. It just needs to create a convenience that happens to teach you something.
