The Red Pill: Discussion of sexual strategy in a culture increasingly lacking a positive identity for men.
Apigenin
I hadn't heard of this I might as well try it. I already have a couple bottles of ashwa that I've misplaced while moving.
Combative stress.
That's the thing, I have zero combative interactions with any remaining women in my life. None. I'm stressing out in a vacuum. Just this constant nagging paranoia of preparing for combative interactions where I'm suppressing mania so I don't have a bipolar response. But there's no one there because she's out of my life. It's just stressing out at nothing..
I'm not sure how long it's going to take for my brain to stop being on defense without the original stressor around
@Vermillion-Rx Aha, my area of expertise. Firstly, get yourself some Ashwagandha to help with the high cortisol levels. Some Apigenin and some magnesiums threonate/glycinate as well to aid the falling to sleep process and take 1 hour before you intend to get into bed.
Pick your wake up time and stick to that 100%. Then pick a number. At first 5 hours might be all that's achievable, So if you picked 7 as your wake up time, don't even try to sleep until 2.
Then after 1 week get into bed 15-30 minutes earlier. And so on and so forth until you hit your required sleep length. You've now retrained yourself to sleep with much higher quality at the same time.
Those weeks will be rough af though.
As for combative interactions, I feel you there. Interpreting messages from women as attacks and shit simply because your ex was always on the edge. Shits going to take some rewiring thats for sure.

I think this is happening to me. I have horrendous insomnia the past couple weeks since it ended. I've also quit alcohol on day 5 I think. I abused it as a sleep med add on to my current sleep med (low dose) the past two years and without it and without her I've been near completely unable to fall asleep
Currently pulling an all nighter in a desperate attempt to fix my sleep so i Can get to bed sooner tonight
This feels like hell coming off alcohol and psychotic female behavior. I think i still have acute stress from it. I think this experience gave me some form of acute stress disorder I'm still stressing out over shadows of something that isn't there anymore. I'm still on defense and waiting for combative interactions that aren't going to happen anymore

@Vermillion-Rx Yeah man. The amount of people who told me they were impressed how patient I was lmao.
As the stockholm sort of feelings fade, you suddenly have so much energy.

Damn. Yeah I was unaware of how psychotic this woman was as well till I told someone my first few stories about shit she did and they were like "wtf i can't believe that's a real story". One guy put it pretty succinctly "oh fuck that I'm exhausted just hearing that little of what you've said, that would be a fuck no for me you dodged a massive bullet"
Somehow I did not realize the toll it was taking on me. Another reason I had to quit drinking, i think i was just drinking through every stressor from it

@Vermillion-Rx Hehe, throwback to me telling my ex she needs to take responsibility and apologise if she has a mood swing and storms off for no apparent reason... Her response, to tell me everything would be fixed if I said things like this during the mood swing and then banshee scream at me "WHY".
Myself, I burst out laughing in response to that, surreal moment. The look on my friends faces when I told them about that was one of the main factors which started me realising her behaviour was not normal lol.

I'm skipping duplicate videos where the topics are identical to previous ones. Learning something mostly new each time by doing that
@Vermillion-Rx delving a lot in learning about it will become ruminating soon enough, and will keep you hooked, you will be reliving the stressors over and over again, exact opposite of a meditation.
Saying that learn how do you enable it, make notes useful to you [against your enabling behaviours] and forget about it.

This channel hits hard. I thought these cognitive problems were my own fault or because of drinking (it may in part have been). I didn't realize this was all a genuine problem happening to me through a narc through. I thought I was imagining these symptoms or that they were my fault
