    This is the 80th comment and no one has said “drugs” (unless you count alcohol). Maybe drug addicts have better things to do with their time than browse lemmy!

    Vaping, doomscrolling, not eating healthy, binge drinking sometimes. The usual

      That and having to constantly check myself for just being human and not being the beacon of perfection I was supposed to be.

      Is it the salsa con queso or just a plain cheese? Because for some reason the salsa con queso jars are like crack to me. I can eat a whole jar in maybe 2 days, so I only purchase it very sparingly lmao.

      I’m sure the strong, hazy IPAs are also not on the healthy food pyramid.

      But some lines we do not cross.

      See: Walmart Great Val-u Rainbow Chip Cookies.

      And whisky. And so, so so, so-so so much tea.

    Fucking up my sleep schedule.

    Also kinda abusing sleep medication when I get really depressed, I just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I can essentially skip time. Like a free trial of death.

      This minus the pills. I have a smart watch that clearly shows that I don’t recover well if I go to bed late, but I always go to bed an hour later than I should ideally go, and always end up sleep deprived. I desperately need to cut this shit out.

      Love the death analogy. Don’t we all have periods of just wanting to sleep to escape reality, but we fear non existence through death

          Depending on how you die the process can be horrible. I guess dying instantly from some kind of trauma is the easiest way to go. I have to believe the “unknown” is irrelevant because our consciousness no longer exists. Whatever atoms made us a human are simply reabsorbed into the universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson the astrophysicist has some great insights into this. If you check him out on youtube you find his speculation about god and human death

    6 pack of beer almost every night for the past 3 months. Doctor refuses to help me unless I go to rehab, but it’s not feasible to spend that much time away from home.

      Husband was drinking 3-4 a night and I was freaking out about it, he got it down to 1-2 by not buying it in packs except on weekend. Like he will stop at the corner store and get one beer for after work.

      If you buy only one on your way home, instead of a six pack, do you think you would go out and get more, or might it work for you as it did for him?

        I managed to quit for a week by buying one at a time plus a six pack of non alcoholic beer. Trying it out again today.

          Good luck to you! A beer, a healthy supper, a walk in the night before bed. You can build healthy habits not just unhealthy ones. Do things to replace that beer. Yin yoga is really relaxing too, good bedtime practice.

            Usually I’d be three in by now. Instead I mopped my floors and walked the dog. Eating a big salad now. Trying my hardest rn.

              Awesome, that is great progress no matter what. Practice is what matters. Take care of yourself. Not kidding about the yin yoga - slow and cold, with pillows, it sort of tricks your nervous system into feeling safe.

    Comfort Eating.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I tried weed and found it uninteresting and never did anything harder. I exercise regularly.

    But I’ll still never be the platonic ideal of a “healthy person”, because whenever I’m sad, I need processed sugar to feel like a person again. And brother, does life give me reasons to be sad.

      Samesies. I remember back in college powering through a writing assignment with a 2L bottle of Coke and a 1lb. bag of M&Ms. Totally not healthy, but I learned later that it has to do with the relationship between insulin and neurotransmitters, like dopamine.

      I think I need to read up on that link more.

    Sitting at my desk at work is probably the biggest health risk I face.

    I eat well, exercise, drink moderately (not every day, never more than two, almost always one drink only), don’t smoke, have sex every day, manage my blood pressure, really try to be good to my body and do things to reduce anxiety but the enforced idleness of desk job is for sure unhealthy.
