When I started training chinese martial arts it was the first time I became obsessed with training my body. I was 22 years old, a kid of divorced teachers and just beginning to recover from a severe psychotic breakdown. I fought with my demons, my conditioning and was way too paranoid to visit a therapist but becoming a martial artist and meditating daily gave me the opportunity to heal, to accept my body as a vessel which my spirit inhabits.

Training to end a fight, learning techniques that might disable your opponent for ever, dancing with violent intent in front of an opponent is a meditation where the focal point moves outside your body but is within your body at the same time.

You learn to control your energy like an instrument: muscle engaged but mind detached.

But at the start, you don*t.

As an adolescent the only physical activities I did not condemn as dumb were dancing and fucking and wanking.

Consequently I revived all the three, fuelled with the energies I mobilized with my martial arts training.

Going to a club directly after a 4 hour training unit usually resulted that I became a target.

German culture is a cock-block-culture consisting of envy, blame and our famous Schadenfreude.

Guys saw me attracting girls because I was so full of joy that I had found my personal stairway to heaven.

Generally german guys already feel alienated on a dance floor like most heteronormative guys in the "cristian" world do today.

So guys start to do what they do: forming a circle with their bodies around my body or taking my room to dance like an insult.

I did not know then how to stop these phenomena. I fuelled it by dancing even more fanatically which only made things worse, pulling their aggressions and starting to like that game I did not fully understand .

I learned today:

"Stfu" means that somebody felt uncomfortable by the link I posted.

And I just looked for the meaning of the abbriviation "pos" which has something to with with rather solid feces.

Well, I blocked the user immediately but as this was my 1st troll encounter on the internet in a decade I should have been more grateful.

anyways ::::never feed the trolls:::::

There is no point to do it. I want to gather intelligence here about the topic of our intraspecific violence and would love to stumble upon hints how we, as a species might be able to transcend this burden upon our development as a conscious community.

We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence And the mark and the yen, and yeah We're gonna crack your little souls

The data does not support the assumption that all burned out people can “recover.” And when we fully appreciate what burnout signals in the body, and where it comes from on a social, economic, and psychological level, it should become clear to us that there’s nothing beneficial in returning to an unsustainable status quo. 

The term “burned out” is sometimes used to simply mean “stressed” or “tired,” and many organizations benefit from framing the condition in such light terms. Short-term, casual burnout (like you might get after one particularly stressful work deadline, or following final exams) has a positive prognosis: within three months of enjoying a reduced workload and increased time for rest and leisure, 80% of mildly burned-out workers are able to make a full return to their jobs. 

But there’s a lot of unanswered questions lurking behind this happy statistic. For instance, how many workers in this economy actually have the ability to take three months off work to focus on burnout recovery? What happens if a mildly burnt-out person does not get that rest, and has to keep toiling away as more deadlines pile up? And what is the point of returning to work if the job is going to remain as grueling and uncontrollable as it was when it first burned the worker out? 

Burnout that is not treated swiftly can become far more severe. Clinical psychologist and burnout expert Arno van Dam writes that when left unattended (or forcibly pushed through), mild burnout can metastasize into clinical burnout, which the International Classification of Diseases defines as feelings of energy depletion, increased mental distance, and a reduced sense of personal agency. Clinically burned-out people are not only tired, they also feel detached from other people and no longer in control of their lives, in other words.

Unfortunately, clinical burnout has quite a dismal trajectory. Multiple studies by van Dam and others have found that clinical burnout sufferers may require a year or more of rest following treatment before they can feel better, and that some of burnout’s lingering effects don’t go away easily, if at all. 

In one study conducted by Anita Eskildsen, for example, burnout sufferers continued to show memory and processing speed declines one year after burnout. Their cognitive processing skills improved slightly since seeking treatment, but the experience of having been burnt out had still left them operating significantly below their non-burned-out peers or their prior self, with no signs of bouncing back. 

It took two years for subjects in one of van Dam’s studies to return to “normal” levels of involvement and competence at work. following an incident of clinical burnout. However, even after a multi-year recovery period they still performed worse than the non-burned-out control group on a cognitive task designed to test their planning and preparation abilities. Though they no longer qualified as clinically burned out, former burnout sufferers still reported greater exhaustion, fatigue, depression, and distress than controls.

In his review of the scientific literature, van Dam reports that anywhere from 25% to 50% of clinical burnout sufferers do not make a full recovery even four years after their illness. Studies generally find that burnout sufferers make most of their mental and physical health gains in the first year after treatment, but continue to underperform on neuropsychological tests for many years afterward, compared to control subjects who were never burned out. 

People who have experienced burnout report worse memories, slower reaction times, less attentiveness, lower motivation, greater exhaustion, reduced work capability, and more negative health symptoms, long after their period of overwork has stopped. It’s as if burnout sufferers have fallen off their previous life trajectory, and cannot ever climb fully back up. 

And that’s just among the people who receive some kind of treatment for their burnout and have the opportunity to rest. I found one study that followed burned-out teachers for seven years and reported over 14% of them remained highly burnt-out the entire time. These teachers continued feeling depersonalized, emotionally drained, ineffective, dizzy, sick to their stomachs, and desperate to leave their jobs for the better part of a decade. But they kept working in spite of it (or more likely, from a lack of other options), lowering their odds of ever healing all the while. 

Van Dam observes that clinical burnout patients tend to suffer from an excess of perseverance, rather than the opposite: “Patients with clinical burnout…report that they ignored stress symptoms for several years,” he writes. “Living a stressful life was a normal condition for them. Some were not even aware of the stressfulness of their lives, until they collapsed.”

Instead of seeking help for workplace problems or reducing their workload, as most people do, clinical burnout sufferers typically push themselves through unpleasant circumstances and avoid asking for help. They’re also less likely to give up when placed under frustrating circumstances, instead throttling the gas in hopes that their problems can be fixed with extra effort. They become hyperactive, unable to rest or enjoy holidays, their bodies wired to treat work as the solution to every problem. It is only after living at this unrelenting pace for years that they tumble into severe burnout. 

Among both masked Autistics and overworked employees, the people most likely to reach catastrophic, body-breaking levels of burnout are the people most primed to ignore their own physical boundaries for as long as possible. Clinical burnout sufferers work far past the point that virtually anyone else would ask for help, take a break, or stop caring about their work.

And when viewed from this perspective, we can see burnout as the saving grace of the compulsive workaholic — and the path to liberation for the masked disabled person who has nearly killed themselves trying to pass as a diligent worker bee.

I used to watch Mash 4077 with Alan Alda on german free tv because it is the only anti-war serial in the mainstream but they changed the dubbing to sth. unbearably shallow.

I looked it up and there are three different dubbings in german and they switched to a version that lacks any virtue.

This might sound irrelevant for most of the readers but I saw the same episode just last year with way more satirical content and was startled as I still had the old sounds in my ear and was trying to figure out whether I had been drunk then. I also remembered that the picture quality was not as brilliant that last time so I found out that there are three different german dubbings.

The tv channel has merged with one of the oldest publishing houses who atm do everything to push my country into a misery known as World War 3.

Pacifism will not be televised

Any longer....or at least not under this legislation.
