Sun, 02 May 2010 02:55:05 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20362 Which is why turning it into a "game" was a poor decision. Sun, 02 May 2010 02:45:39 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20361 Ditto on the depression. At times I feel depressed when playing games here and at other sites. In my case I'm very sensitive to failure (not every game/trial goes well). Expecting to perform well every game is definitely unrealistic because after all we're only human. The negative thoughts that arise after too many consecutive failures are just so overwhelming that I lose sight of the fact that I'm only human and failure is just a part of life. What's worse is that I have high functioning autism and because of it I'm kind of OCD with mental exercises, problems, etc. Instead of taking breaks when things aren't going well and thinking objectively about the situation I'll continue to play until my eyes damn near bleed which drives me into an even deeper depression. BTW Cyberiad, what program are you enrolled in? Sat, 01 May 2010 05:18:37 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20275 Don't sweat it - the whole point of playing games is to do well at them and thereby boost one's confidence, having fun along the way. As for what your doing well does to the other players...well, your times are so ridiculous that they can easily dismiss you as a freak. ;-) Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:49 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20271 I'm not exactly depressed, just thinking about this place really bothers me. I was using my scores here as an ego boost. Attempting to use elementary reaction times as confidence builders is pretty pathetic. And I was trying to create distance. I think it's working. Fri, 30 Apr 2010 09:02:53 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20243 No, that has nothing to do with being depressed. Just jog more. You'll feel better. Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:08:18 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20234 Turns that out I'm allergic to coffee too. So it sucks that I've been unintentionally consuming allergens which end up ramping up my anxiety levels. I hope by staying off the stuff my productivity will eventually rise. Also, even though I've performed quite well, visiting this website usually depresses the hell out of me. I think this is by caused the superficial nature of my identity here. The boasting and all that. Not a big deal I know, but for some reason it's just been nagging at me lately. Cya Fri, 30 Apr 2010 05:54:24 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_20219 Yes I sorta wish I had been tested earlier. Though it really wasn't that bad. Dunno about the mechanism... :) Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:55:55 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_19979 What are the specific mechanisms of your allergy? Sounds interesting. So far that I'm aware, I have none, but if I do, it would be good to get tested... Thu, 15 Apr 2010 08:18:21 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_19974 Last week discovered that I have a green tea allergy. The multivitamin I've been taking for the last 3 years contains green tea extract. Symptoms of allergy: anxiety and hyperactivity... suppose that explains a lot. Been off the multivitamin for about 6 days now and I'm calmer at least. DNB performance has also stabilized (smaller fluctuations). More good news: Used to have some trouble with picture 9-back, tested today and did alright, felt natural. Hope it stays this way. :-P Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:48:34 -0700 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/18405#r_19973 ^excess of hippos in the neurocampus?
