It's not clear that I need mine either. But whenever I try to get off my medication (Effexor), I just can't: with a month, I am having debilitating anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I have to live with horrible side effects for the r

Can you say more? What do you mean by "how to relate to thoughts?" Seems similar to mindfulness, but I am not sure.

Adjusting to a new company takes time. Most reasonable managers understand that - I hope yours is. Just out of curiosity, what is the tech stack/language?

Very interesting. Can you share what type of code you write and what some of the gotchas you found with IDEs?

I agree with your description. The devil on my other shoulder tries to argue with me about being knowledgeable about the world so that I can do something about it. Support my causes by protesting, donating etc Instead I get into snark warfa

The purpose of learning is for my own education (and for a tangential benefit at work). I will be able to keep notes with me. Thankfully I am way past the point where I have to sit in examinations.

What if you are learning something for work - say advanced computer networking (reading textbooks, papers etc) - how would you approach this?

Have you read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse? I really recommend that book. Follow that up with ""What the Buddha taught" by Rahula Walpola.

May I suggest a more equanimous modern re-telling of Western philosophy that I have currently started reading: A New History of Western Philosophy by Kenny https://www.amazon.com/New-History-Western-Philosophy-ebook/...

I wonder whether HN has heard of "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman and Kunze. I learned from it as an undergraduate and remember it being told that it was a classic. Another more abstract book is by the great Halmos: "Finite Dimens

Thank you for the great reply and apologies for dropping out. I would like to know more about self-testing and how it helped you.

One question for all the self-learners here (I have immense admiration). Do these courses inform your day to day job in some way? Or is this for personal knowledge (even more impressive)? How do you find the damn time? Need some suggestions

Thank you for relating your experience.

Thank you for the response. Yes - I have more tools in my mental arsenal now (meditation, stoicism). The problem is: when the dosage was lowered, it was not clear whether I was seeing a relapse or it was withdrawal. I am amazed by the slee

Why? Because of side effects. The sexual side effects are terrible. I am sure it has contributed to my weight gain. I am not sure there are studies on what happens after decades on this drug.

The side effects were creeping in slowly - till they became too much to bear. Its like a slow invasion.

I hope someone can help me. I was slowly tapered off Effexor (started at 225mg and then slowly to 125, 75, 25). I was overcome by an existential dread that colored every living moment. I landed up in the hospital - only to resume. Has anyon

I have been curious about this as well especially since Michael Pollan's book "How to change your mind" came out. How did your experience go? I am not by any means a recreational drug user so have no idea where I can get DMT

I am glad that you brought this up. I tend to spend a good chunk of time cleaning up and optimizing my .emacs right before I start coding. Absolutely useless waste of time!
