@Exmo_Lex Sleep has been a battle for me. A year ago I was averaging 2-4 hours of sleep per night.
What helped me:
- Get checked for sleep apnea immediately. 1/5 men have it.
- Daily mindfulness and meditation practices
- Listening to sleep meditations
- Look up Huberman Lab Sleep
@metteharrison I had quite a few items on my “shelf,” but the second anointing realllllyyyy fucked me up. Pretty sure that’s what shattered the myth for me.
@mormons_speak This quote is deceptive because it makes it sound like you can choose to pay whatever you want, but that doesn’t mean you’re a full tithe payer. Gotta be able to say yes in that tithing settlement if you want exaltation amirite?
@tws_o_0 @Traepoint@Jack_Raines Right right, but if I choose not to pay a full tithe, I am ineligible for a temple recommend, which I need to make & keep covenants that are required to obtain eternal life. Not much of a choice, if you ask me. Terrestrial kingdom or 10% of what little money I have 💀

@Plural_Prophet I’m forcing others to work by buying food from a restaurant AT THE AIRPORT. I take great pride in the sin I force others to commit on my behalf.
Today I helped my (soon to be ex) wife move into her own place. A place where she will live with our daughter, but I won’t be there. I can’t describe the pain I’m in right now. I don’t have the words yet. It’s grief like nothing I’ve ever felt.

My wife and I recently came to the horrible realization that we should separate.
Being raised in a high demand religion and growing up in dysfunctional families (despite having loving parents) left us broken and emotionally stunted.
I’ve probably cried more in the last few months than I have my whole life combined, but it’s because I’m finally feeling. The numbness is dissipating. I am awake. And life keeps getting more beautiful all the time, even when I’m sad.
Thank you to all of you who have helped me feel seen. This community has accepted me as my authentic self and given me the space to be vulnerable. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
