How do you define "something major"? Is it a positive or negative event? Does it effect you directly, or is it globally bad shit?

One of my cats died a few months ago and i was wrecked. I can watch /r/combatfootage all day and not give a fuck about actual people dying.

There is nothing wrong with you. Desenzitaition is a thing.

Same, I get anxious seeing all those wires. I foresee tripping-hazard.

That said, it’s a great piece of work, just not very “calming” for me personally, lol.

SSRI’s, cognitive behavioral therapy, learning how to do mindfulness meditation and a lot of time and working on my mental health. Took about ~2 years to recover. I will be in therapy for the rest of my life. I still struggle sometimes but I have the tools and support I need to reorient and recover when I start falling.

Yeah it has probably more to do with dopamine immunity.

She felt it at that moment, and 2 seconds later it faded away because her brain is just so used to, not only it, but even bigger hits. The down would have been even worse by being reinforced by the fact that she was "supposed" to feel the high of fame/success, so you think about it not fulfilling you and it's just that even more depressing.

"Oh hey, this is nic-- and it's gone. Well that fucking sucks."
