  • Same, same, same, same, same. For years I thought it was just totally normal to remember next to nothing prior to about 11 or so. Over the years a few other things came together than made me really go “hrrrmmm”. I’ve never really done anything to pick at it though … it is what it is, and it’s already played out in my life in the worst ways it will (alcoholism, extremely unhealthy relationships, rampant adultery, etc.) … doesn’t even seem worth the effort for me at this point.

    If I could have stopped those things before they started by addressing and dealing with this stuff when I was younger though, that would have been worth it for sure! If it’s bugging you, get to the bottom of it, safely, with a qualified professional! Best of luck, and I really admire your courage to post this.



  • One of the first times I used it I ended up 30 minutes away from my destination while it INSISTED I was AT my destination.

    I’ve been looking for alternatives ever since, but it seems with Android Auto no matter what you install and use, Maps still gets your data, so I’m kinda ready to just throw in the towel, or get an iPhone just for nav or something … not sure, I’ve put a pin in it for now.

    Seems getting away from it will be the right move for me though based on your experience!





  • it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep

    Though it takes longer to achieve, it’s effects go beyond just helping you sleep - regular meditation, even purely secular “mindfulness meditation” can help achieve the same, with lasting effect, and much wider implications in day to day life.

    There is sometimes still an internal monologue, but it’s not as powerful or overwhelming, and it’s much easier to ignore or shut off.
