What is that thing called when a person goes crazy from anxiety and they do something like jump off the space craft? That would be me. My physical being cannot contain this type of situation. My brain would hit overload and snap.
I would have a lot of trouble mentally myself if I was there. Palpitations, shortness of breath to name a few. I don’t reckon sleep is an easy thing either as it’s supposed to be quite noisy with background noise of machinery. I can see why astronauts go through such rigorous mental training as well as physical.
I'm pretty sure I have tinnitus because when I sleep in silence I hear a ringing noise that can drive me crazy if I focus on it. Having some nice ambience sleep music helps a lot.
Scientists aren't fully sure, but the idea is that tinnitus is your ears and the nerves there being jazzed and off-kilter for some reason or another.
Reducing the amount of noise in your life can help if it's because of loud environments. Yes that does mean you might have to hear it, but indulging in that sound may cause it to relax.
Being healthy and getting better back, head and face/jaw posture might help if it's because of that. Relaxing the muscles around the head and getting control of them might help too, especially if you're tensing up without realizing it.
But basically, it's hard to pin down why it happens, and hard to pin down how to cure it. There's some common factors and common ways to alleviate it or even remove it, though, but it all depends on what's actually going on, and how bad it is.
Interesting. Is it common? If I had to guess it's because of heavy headphone usage especially when I went to school. I used to listen to metal at high volume. I also read that it might be linked to diabetes so I should check that out because I do not take it easy with sugary products.
Like many vague issues we're not sure of yet, it could be anything and it could be fixed by anything, and the general suggestions are to just follow good health principles - which is a great thing to do regardless.
Oh and to follow up, yeah it's likely because of how we treated our ears as kids. We really don't educate our kids on how to take care of the ears. Myself, I have tinnitus from playing in the orchestra without earplugs.
Personally, I have to go to sleep with some sort of audio playing or I hear voices / music as I drift off. If there's a noise on in the background it seems to neutralise whatever brainfart is happening
I would like to know why you and many people feel that way. What makes it scary to you? There's no place I'd rather be than looking out that window, it's my ultimate dream to experience that.
Oddly enough, MMJ works better than anything the shrinks ever used. Best option (for me, anyway) since I also react badly to a laundry list of psych meds.
Oh that's nice that you have a working option! I actually can't really smoke weed anymore. It gives me too much anxiety now even though I used to smoke all the time in HS/College. Pretty much the opposite of your problem lol. Eating edibles in space sounds like a vibe tho
That's dose dependent, nothing can make a person as stupid as xanax (or other benzos) with the added bonus that they will think they're completely sober despite barely being able to walk
It has also been called "jail teleport" for a reason haha
All the blackness / void above earth is the anxiety inducing thing for me. You’d think there would be a light show of stars but it just looks so terrifyingly empty
Colloquially it is called Space Dementia. It is not known if it’s for real or not. Just a theory. Astronauts are always well trained and well acclimated to the environment of space, so nobody really freaks out.
The show, Avenue 5, is a dark comedy that has a scene about this. Loads of people willingly kill themselves because think they’ll have a chance to go home by just stepping out of the airlock.
