+1 WOsMerit
I was completely blind for these poverty / forum rank / signature campaign aspects, man.
Thanks for shedding a light.
frankly... I'm only about 70% sure that your post is not meant sarcastically ...
Two things:
(1). I know you don't know my habits too good (yet), but i really try to mark sarcasm and irony (for reasons) using emoticons (grin and twinkle, mostly). Since there is no emoticon, you can be 99,9% sure that i meant it. 0,1% are reserved for the rare occasion of me forgetting to emoticonify irony.
(2). I wouldn't credit a WOsMerit if i didn't mean it, would i?
(1) thanks for clarifying.
(2) I'd say that depends on the level of sarcasm. You can meet all sorts of persons online
And I didn't know what to make of the fact that you wrote about sending a sMerit but did not actually send any... Other things you might not know:
I am rarely aware of things i don't come across regularly, because of my fucked up Working Memory. This excludes facts and things i had learned before my Chronic Fatigue adventure, which started back in 2010 after a viral infection. It's a strange way to live through the days, being smart and intelligent but not able to hold information effectively in memory, which i was also very good at, before 2010. I come around slightly dumb to most "normal" people i personally deal with daily, which i find pretty ironic, but still - there is no irony.
Imagine trying to call out your neighbor's name to get his attention, but you can't remember it, because it is stored somewhere in your brain, but not accessible at the moment you need it. It's unreliable storage and retrieval of information in Longterm Memory, hard to explain how it "feels" like, so i use examples to make interested people better understand.
There are some Supps that help, but sustainable cure is yet to be found.
OT:
Speaking of Supps, i found some interesting Amino-acid lately: c, which is derived from green tea, works remarkably well at dosage of 100mg daily.
WO brothers suffering from mood swings, anxiety, problems to keep focus and feeling stressed out or unrelaxed should more than just benefit from that stuff.
L-Theanine is the active component found in green tea, but the Caffeine contained in the tea is elevating restlessness and alertness, pushing heart rate and thus working like an antagonist to L-Theanine effects.
I have read that it really helps peeps suffering from anxiety of all sorts, who also don't want to take these emotionally flattening antidepressants (SSRI).
A few days of taking that shit and it started to work a charm for my focusing problems. It also got noticeably harder to get me upset and/or angry.

That's interesting. I experience similar memorizing problems, although maybe not as intense.
It's actually right on the edge, so that I can accept not being able to remember certain stuff at certain moments.
I almost tend to feel that there is a reason that my brain does not dig out the stuff I want it to. That reason being actual importance.
I wonder, maybe it just knows better than me what info I really need. And I somewhat came to trust my brain to some extend in that regard. (Trusting it to save the right resources)
For example, I have hard times remembering peoples names, but I came to the understanding that names are just not that important, when you are interested in a person's inside instead.
On the contrary I rarely ever forget faces. I can recognize individuals in the street with whom I had the last contact over 10-20 years ago. And I can approach them and say hi. For me that is far more important than to remember their name.
So I started to trust my brain a bit more that it puts its resources where it seems appropriate.
And thanks for the Theanine info. I guess I will drink more green tea again. Was a big fan but got lazy having to prepare it.
Btw there are some studies about coconut oil preventing Alzheimers. Maybe it's good for memory in general.
