Life is about addiction

The more addicted you are, the more alive you get to feel when you get your fix

The better you manage/choose your addictions, the longer you get to be alive

Debateart.com. Deals loosely with operational considerations.

You would be better off posting this in the philosophy forum.

Interesting idea though.

In what sense are you using the term addiction?

Purely physical or physiological?

I am addicted to water 😊

Although drinking 800 mililiters of water at once makes me feel almost drunk. Not sure if its even healthy to do, but it does improve mood.

Then of course there is alcohol.

Then there is masturbation.

Then there is debating.

Then there is music, songs.

Then there are games.

Then there is chocolate.

Eh, plenty of addictions, really.

Addiction is about overstimulation. The mind can't handle too much stimulation from one particular thing, it's not worth it to be honest, so I disagree with your statement.

Orgasim - ha ha, he he, ho hoe, their coming to take me away, ha ha, he he, ho ho, their coming to take me away...........

Sung to the tune ' their coming to take me away '.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xRCbdFrSSc

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave because I´d go beserk?
WELL,
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I´ve gone completely
out of my mind
AND
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAA
You thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,
RIGHT?
You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
But now you know I´m utterly mad
AND
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they´re coming to take me away,
HAHAAAAAAAAA
I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds
HUH?
Well, you just wait,
They´ll find you yet,
And when they do, they´ll put you in
the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT,
AND

I'm addicted to oxygen.

If I don't get my fix regularly, I hyper-ventilate.

If I don't get my fix regularly, I hyper-ventilate

I was sitting at my table/desk once, and for whatever reason, wanted to take a breath, and i couldnt make it happen i.e. i was consciously trying to take a breath, and it was as if i could not remmber how to make that happen.  So yes, I began to become alarmed/panicky for maybe 30 seconds or so, and then,

the autonomous nervous system kicked in an over-rode my conscious inabilities to breath.

A lady friend told me that happen to her once. One of a few totally weird personal things in my life.

2} awoke one morning to find my head at foot of bed.  Some time or days later, i wondered if i sleep walked.  Or at least  sat on edge of bed then laid back in other direction,

3} went to sleep, awoke and it as is I had only blinked my eyes.  Totally weird to me after 7 or so hrs of sleep,

4}  in my forty's {?} my wife and I were hanging out on bed, and I was looking at my balls, and realized, that, they  were moving around in their sac. I'm like what the heck. These puppies appear to have a life of their own. I did a search and this is the closet thing I could find for what i was seeing.

..." Cremaster muscle.

The muscle helps to move the testicle toward and away from the body to maintain the ideal temperature for sperm production. This is why the scrotum hangs lower in warm conditions and closer to the body in cold weather. "...

5} my wife and I had been driving after dark taking new back roads we have never been on to get to mothers house in another state.  We got lost and we used a paper fold-out map, to no avail.  So were looking at some road signs to find out something. My wife was going on about this or that, and I was a little frustrated and i told her we cant know what the the next road sign will say, and I said, ..it could say red star barn back road ' we dont know anything.

So the next road had a sign, and it was what I stated, the unsually long name of like 4 or five words, and exactly what I stated, off the top of my head.  I was like, holy mackeral, that is one very weird impossible coincidence.  I thought maybe it had went into my sub-conscious looking at map, or had seen it on sign and it went into my sub-conscious, because I had absolutely no recollection of ever seeing those four or five words in that sequence in my life.

I occasionally experience the disconcerting sensation/dream of not being awake but thinking that I am.

I then desperately try and wake myself.

Perhaps quite a common dream/sleep experience.

Lucid dreaming is an inbetween state of half asleep and dreaming and awake, tho not fully so kinda of in and out of both.  I know recently while reading I get tired, then I stop reading lay there and dream, then open my eyes, and many times cant even recall that short amount of dream.

As for you anxiety dream. Iva vaque memory of something like that.  My regular anxiety dream I used to get was of having to go to a bathroom/restroom and there is always some reason there is not one available, because broken, or full of crap and many times people always being their in my area so no privacy.

I'm glad that one hasnt happen in quite some time. I think eating less and especically before bed has helped with that anxiety dream.
