Post ibogaine stress - how do you deal with it?

hi vividmeadow80 well what's done is done - you've made your bed and unfortunately, you're going to have to lie in it. Ibogaine or no, this is stuff that needs to be dealt with. at least you have a good handle on a lot of the things that need to be addressed, particularly the financial ones. It sounds to me like you're falling into the same trap that I've often fallen into. You get overwhelmed by the sheer scale of what needs to be done - it's no wonder people turn to drugs/alcohol/sex/internet etc for escape. You can't fix it all at once so instead of trying to hold it all in your head at once, just take a small bite of it - tackle one thing at a time - maybe re route your mail (how hard can that be?) then just put enough money in your bank account to stop your overdraft from increasing every month. Make a list and order it in terms of difficulty if possible then just go through it and start crossing stuff off the list. Hang in there and don't let it get to you - like you said, its all solvable. You've lived through it for this long, you can handle it a little longer. Dig deep and believe in yourself. I really like BT's signature "You must transform before the psychedelic experience can be transformative". So here's your chance - are you going to take it? take care

Sup zing. i relate to ur view on ur affairs.. i also need to work on o so many things. sometimes it can easily get overwhelming. iv had almost no capability of dealing with my problems before my flood.. and even now sometimes i slip into getting slightly depressed thinking about how much stuff i have let accumulate. what helps me is to take a step back and to re-evaluate any given problem from the perspective of the bigger picture.. much like your mind seems to work in the thinking part of a flood. and much like it should in general imo. like you said, its all solvable... keep ur eyes on the prize. risk it for the biscuit ^^ I remember reading somewhere that when you put something off, as in, say that you will do it later.. trying to forget about it.. It actually triggers a reaction in your brain that is akin to that of anxiety, and your brain releases the same stuff as when u worry. So even if you are not feeling it, and deciding to take the "easy" route, chilling until you have to face your worry.. you are stressing your brain. This stress builds up. tackling these problems, stressing for the right reasons at the right time, and finally succeeding - i think that's how we grow. i agree with entheo.. one step at a time. think its a matter of practise, and eventually just being use to it liek it aint a thing. dealing with shit until you are so quick at tackling "problems" they aren't even real problems any more, just things that need to be dealt with. everyone has those. they aren't meant to be blocking us from life.. but they aren't meant to go away either.. there will always be something, that requires some attention on our part. bumps on the road. we stop paying attention to them.. it's easy to stumble. we watch our step.. can also enjoy the scenery. and even the kinks. thanks for brining up these thoughts in me with your post. and good luck with your path friend.. fair winds and following seas

thanks for that lalababa. that Power of Now has been responsible for more people embarking on a search for enlightement, and has kickstarted more awakenings than any other book on the face of the planet. So much magic (and healing) in one book its incredible. I must read it again.
