I'm making a better effort to meditate, but I don't know if I'm doing it right. Focusing on my breathing and releasing thoughts is hard and if I relax too much, I fall asleep.

If you have related issues when meditating, have you found better ways to meditate or alternatives that give you similar results?

    I really like that. I mean I do the worldbuilding to pass the time or have wish fulfillment to cope with shitty days, but I never really had my characters talk to me about my feelings like that. I was always afraid that would be too cringe. I hate that the idea of being cringe in the privacy of one's own mind can get in the way of a potential avenue for healing.

    Thanks for being vulnerable. It makes me feel okay experimenting with a coping strategy.

      The first thing the internet user needs to do to start healing is to violently and carnally tear apart their conception of cringe and burn it's concept-corpse so it doesn't come back from the dead

      It is crazy how many negative 'voices' take up residence in our heads that we have no business carrying around. I hope you can find some inner peace comrade!!
