What is it? The Western world labels that enemy as "Ego," and the east generally labels that as the demons within your self. There's plenty of ways of tackling yourself to achieve a better view on things and thus improve your health.

Paying attention to your every thought, feeling, emotion. You see something that may remind you of something bad, then you feel a little sad. All you need to do is pay attention to that sudden yet subtle change in attitude. Be like a guard at the palace gates of your mind. He just merely announces what's coming. You don't really need to tackle it and spear it to death, but just notice it.

Notice how your mind reacts to certain things. This is a beginning step in regaining more control of your mental disposition. With more self-control, you'll be stronger, and outside influences will have a lesser effect on your mental attitude. Calmness of mind brings clarity of thought, and most importantly, good sleep.
hmmmm.. now are these your own words?.... :shock:
I wasn't aware of the fact that I could own those words.

Was this written "in my own words"? Yes, because I understand what was written, and that's how it comes out. But the influence is obvious if you know what you're looking for.

Which brings to mind, is anything that we say really original?

They sure do, but ultimately you're the one letting them get to you.

2mg of Tafil is the solution.

Agreed...you need something to distract you. I use the same method myself.

Also...cut out ALL caffeine.

Heh, I kinda got used to it - it is just part of my life. When you're a student with no fixed hours and a lot of late nights from going out your sleeping pattern is bound to become highly skewed.

i have slept 3-5 hrs a night for the last 4 years. Pretty much wears me out.

I took lyrica for a while, it is nice, it blocks dreams and is not metabolized by the liver, but docs say you dont get the deep sleep with it.


glad to see there are others in this boat.
