I urge everyone to read this excerpt from Waking Up by Sam Harris- it changed my life

[lookingforacure]

“Our minds are all we have. They are all we have ever had. And they are all we can offer others. This might not be obvious, especially when there are aspects of your life that seem in need of improvement—when your goals are unrealized, or you are struggling to find a career, or you have relationships that need repairing. But it’s the truth. Every experience you have ever had has been shaped by your mind. Every relationship is as good or as bad as it is because of the minds involved. If you are perpetually angry, depressed, confused, and unloving, or your attention is elsewhere, it won’t matter how successful you become or who is in your life—you won’t enjoy any of it.

Most of us could easily compile a list of goals we want to achieve or personal problems that need to be solved. But what is the real significance of every item on such a list? Everything we want to accomplish—to paint the house, learn a new language, find a better job—is something that promises that, if done, it would allow us to finally relax and enjoy our lives in the present. Generally speaking, this is a false hope. I’m not denying the importance of achieving one’s goals, maintaining one’s health, or keeping one’s children clothed and fed—but most of us spend our time seeking happiness and security without acknowledging the underlying purpose of our search. Each of us is looking for a path back to the present: We are trying to find good enough reasons to be satisfied now.

Acknowledging that this is the structure of the game we are playing allows us to play it differently. How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and, therefore, the quality of our lives. Mystics and contemplatives have made this claim for ages—but a growing body of scientific research now bears it out.”

I know this.

Since 2016 I've been creating consciously my own experiences. The thing is we must leave densities (constrictive belief systems, emotions and thoughts) before being able to freely create our lives. PSSD was created by myself around 2006. I really wanted to feel NOTHING and anhiquilate my sexual function. It was a desire I had PRIOR TO TAKING PROZAC. Now I'm leaving some beliefs and healing emotional traumas that led to his "locked" reality where I am now. I do take supps, but they are somewhat guided by intuition (because I never know what will or will not work, or even make me feel worse), and soon I'll finally take nothing when all the layers that created this illness have been reprocessed.

I apply "conscious reality creation" daily in my life. We can have it all: the life of our dreams. We only need to unfold the limiting programming we allwowed to receive in ourselves. We are powerful creating beings: we can change ANYTHING around us.

Even for those that feel mild relief taking supps, we must be aware NOT TO BUY MORE BELIEF SYSTEMS. It's very easy to worsen our situation if we believe those catastrophic "rational" information we receive from this forum. "This is an epigenetic change, we don't have powerful drugs to fully recover from it". So it will be, for those who think this way. I recommend changing your mind for recognizing our cure can be easy and instantaneous.

what I said is not PHILOSOPHICAL, those are practical things we can verify ourselves.

One could say that without sex we are becoming more spiritual and mystic but it's not true. I was a spiritual person also before this PSSD thing.
So I feel better to read this stuff from you. Thank you. This makes me think about my fear to not be more a person like other but recently I realized that nobody is a person like the other. Everybody has his goal or dream and one of mines is to recover but fortunately it is not the only one. About my mind I don't know where it goes sometimes...we call it brain fog...but I am here now. Where are you now?
Greetings. Keep feeling human.

This is an issue of duality (the judgement of the reality, the illusion of good/bad, spiritual/material) which you should solve. I myself had this judgement in my teen years.
