It sounds dumb but for me, its usually a slow background build up with the sensory overload, then a rapid build up and loss of control, then the meltdown. I've found the best way to deal with it is to either slow down my responses (take that breath or few seconds before every decision or response) t...

I think there was a withdrawn reply (during submission, sorry for bringing it up), that was a virtual replica of my situation. The bliss you get isn't from the lack of self-observation itself, but the fact that the pressure-cooker in the form of dread, foreboding, anticipation suddenly disappears. R...

Based on your screen name, it seems to me that you might be interested in medieval history. There were quite a few "Ottos" who were Holy Roman Emperors between like 950 and 1150. Nobody is "dead weight," unless one is an unrepentant criminal. If their thoughts can be channeled, ...

But I am sure a lot of people have those these symptoms. Its introspection - trying to look at yourself and see what's wrong - then repres...
