I would argue that under the right conditions it could negatively impact physical growth. As social creatures, humans can experience a lot of stress from isolation. I think it well understood that intense prolonged stress can have many negative impacts on the body. It could negatively impact physical development in that way.
My Dad was a truck driver and died from bladder cancer. Please don’t hold it when you don’t have to.
It sounds like you are fundamentally trying to embrace healthier habits. I would suggest starting by examining the feeling. Just spend some time thinking about it before acting. Why do I feel motivated to do this? How will I feel while doing it? How will I feel after? Do I gain something from this worth the downsides?
The goal is to make a decision about what you are doing and why instead of just falling into old patterns of behavior with thought.
Yeah. Human memory evolved to keep us alive not happy. Brain assumes anything that stressful must be life threatening and we obviously should remember that so we can avoid it in the future.
I personally find having a rational understanding of the utility of emotions helps me process them.
It’s bell curves all the way down.
Personally I have been microdoseing anxiety for years. Sure, it’s a bad solution but it is a “functioning” solution.
Good insights. I will need to spend some pondering how much of this applies to myself. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Not a professional, just another meat bag trying to figure his own stuff out. Good job on the introspection. Some times just seeing our own behavior can be difficult. Getting help from a professional is always a good plan. Until then, I would suggest continuing to be mindful of that you do this and make a focused effort to pay attention to the emotions your are feeling when you do these things. Other than that, what are the things you DO want to do? When you you try take these new actions, what are your emotions at these times?
P.S. Being more self aware is a skill. Don’t be surprised if it your not very good at it to start.
I have started to mentally replace “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” with “every hurt you heal makes you stronger”. I am sorry you got hurt, I wish you the best on your journey to heal.
At the very least it makes a good exercise in questioning facts to make sure you are not coming to faulty conclusions by misunderstanding.
Does this mean the visual center is 25% larger or that the configuration of cells is different? If it is larger where are are women’s brains larger then men’s brains?
That is a feature not a bug. The alternative is people being in senior positions that want to do things “the way they were taught to do it” 30 years ago.
I think it is reasonable to assume Valve will leverage automation heavily. Why pay someone to update that list when a script could do it?

It depends on what your doing. Caffeine, exercise, diet, and sleep are all reasonable. But if your using stronger drugs without doctor supervision, that’s a bad idea.
That’s just what everyone should do.
Thank you for linking that.
Was that in what was shared above and I missed it or was that said somewhere else? Could you share that if it is easily available?
The point was simply that Debian is not responsible for Ubuntu or PopOS, but they can still interact cooperatively. Downstream benefits from the work Upstream does and downstream can contribute upstream so everyone benefits.
I’m not on a stimulant beside caffeine. But I have noticed a similar issue. 3 things I do to help:
