You know, the saying that you should avoid excess in most things actually applies to many situations, including water. It might be hard to isolate your success to just this one variable, and I’m pretty sure that drinking more than 3L of water doesn’t benefit most people. I find it likely that it actually harms you because your body might be overwhelmed and simply pee out most of that, and with that, it might also “wash out” minerals your body might need.
Regarding water, I remember once running two stage 4s the same night and woke up especially dehydrated.
Regarding salt/minerals, recently(?) had a heavy head after subs throughout the next day, then it cleared after having a dinner with miso. Only one data point though.

This is very infomative and helpful for me.
Curious to know your opinion about Choline or Ginkgo. I’m taking Ginkgo now, wonder if it can replace Choline.
Yeah, probs once every hour and some change
Not really, i force myself to drink water. Its a daunting task but it helps a lot
I agree to some extent, but thats what the 1 litter per water rule is for to avoid such problems, a gallon day seems very good. 5 litters .
Its been a huge booster to me, also im a bad sample cuz ive had some surgeries in the past that altered my lifestyle and my health so its really been working for me at least
I read on reddit about the water thing then i tried it out and its amazing
I have had doubts about the effect of choline in all this. Could you all convince my skeptical mind with some real results for the same?
Alright. Just asking incase it’s diabetes. Out of caution, look into the symptoms of diabetes and see if any of them ring a bell.
A major tip to accelerate reconciliation is simply lying down on your back, close your eyes and relax for as long as you can. It will help your subconscious process material much faster.
Water should not do this unless deionised or demineralised. But 6 litres a day is a bit excessive. Otherwise I’m all for extra clean water.
We could add exercise as important too cause it helps that water circulate.

Well I asked Chat GPT what would happen on a sub overload -
Subliminal overload, particularly when dealing with intense emotional, cognitive, or psychological programming (such as subliminals for seduction or self-transformation), can lead to a wide range of neurological and neurochemical effects. Some key parts of the brain and neurotransmitters involved are:
1. Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)
-
Function: The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, including decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
-
Effects of Overload: Prolonged exposure to subliminal messages, especially those aimed at deep psychological change, can strain the PFC, leading to:
- Cognitive fatigue
- Impaired decision-making
- Difficulty concentrating or planning
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Dopamine: Overstimulation of reward circuits can deplete dopamine, affecting motivation and pleasure.
- Glutamate: Excessive cognitive demands can lead to dysregulated glutamate levels, resulting in mental fog and overstimulation.
2. Amygdala
-
Function: The amygdala is key to processing emotions, particularly fear, anxiety, and pleasure.
-
Effects of Overload: Subliminals designed to influence emotional states (e.g., confidence, social anxiety, sexual attraction) can overstimulate the amygdala, resulting in:
- Heightened anxiety
- Emotional dysregulation
- Increased stress responses
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Cortisol: Chronic stress from subliminal overload can cause the release of cortisol, leading to heightened emotional reactivity and potential burnout.
- Norepinephrine: Increased emotional stimuli can lead to excessive release of norepinephrine, increasing feelings of stress or anxiety.
3. Hippocampus
-
Function: The hippocampus is responsible for memory formation and spatial navigation. It also plays a role in regulating stress responses.
-
Effects of Overload: When overloaded by conflicting subliminal messages, the hippocampus may become impaired, leading to:
- Memory issues or forgetfulness
- Difficulty integrating new information
- Increased vulnerability to stress
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Acetylcholine: This neurotransmitter, involved in learning and memory, may become dysregulated, leading to forgetfulness or difficulties in recalling information.
- GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): The brain may reduce GABA (a calming neurotransmitter), leading to heightened anxiety or insomnia.
4. Hypothalamus
-
Function: The hypothalamus regulates essential bodily functions, including hormone release, sleep, hunger, and sexual drive.
-
Effects of Overload: Subliminals targeting sexual behavior, confidence, or overall transformation can overtax the hypothalamus, leading to:
- Sleep disturbances
- Hormonal imbalances
- Dysregulated appetite and libido
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Serotonin: Involves mood regulation; low levels can lead to mood swings, depression, and insomnia.
- Oxytocin and Testosterone: Subliminals aimed at seduction or confidence can trigger changes in these hormones, potentially causing imbalances in emotional bonding and sexual drive.
5. Limbic System (Overall)
-
Function: The limbic system includes the amygdala, hippocampus, and other structures that regulate emotions, motivation, and memory.
-
Effects of Overload: Overstimulation from subliminal messages can cause emotional and mood swings, increased anxiety, or difficulty processing emotions.
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Endorphins: Intense programming can disrupt the body’s production of endorphins, leading to reduced feelings of pleasure and heightened sensitivity to pain.
- Serotonin & Dopamine: Mood regulation and feelings of pleasure can fluctuate, causing depressive or anxious states.
6. Cerebral Cortex (Sensory Processing)
-
Function: Processes sensory input from subliminal audios, including the subconscious reception of affirmations or auditory signals.
-
Effects of Overload: Overexposure to subliminal stimuli may lead to sensory overload, manifesting as:
- Sensory fatigue
- Headaches
- Hyper-sensitivity to sound or visual stimuli
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Glutamate: Excessive sensory stimulation can disrupt normal glutamate activity, leading to sensory processing issues or overstimulation.
7. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
-
Function: Regulates automatic functions like heart rate, breathing, and digestion.
-
Effects of Overload: Chronic stress from subliminal overload can activate the sympathetic nervous system, causing:
- Increased heart rate
- Digestive issues
- Hypervigilance or difficulty relaxing
-
Neurotransmitter Involvement:
- Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Overactivation of the ANS can increase adrenaline levels, leading to persistent fight-or-flight responses.
Key Neurotransmitters Potentially Affected:
- Dopamine: Linked to motivation, pleasure, and reward circuits.
- Serotonin: Mood regulation, emotional stability, and sleep.
- Norepinephrine: Stress and anxiety responses.
- Cortisol: Stress hormone, linked to chronic stress and anxiety.
- Glutamate: Learning, memory, and cognitive functions.
- GABA: Inhibitory neurotransmitter, linked to calming the brain.
- Acetylcholine: Learning, memory, and cognitive processing.
These effects could be intensified depending on the nature of the subliminals, their repetition, and the user’s overall mental and physical condition. Managing exposure and allowing for recovery periods is crucial for maintaining mental health.
Long term effect of which is -
Long-term exposure to subliminal overload, especially without adequate recovery or management, can potentially lead to persistent and chronic neurological, psychological, and physiological effects. Here are some possible long-term consequences:
1. Cognitive Impairments
- Memory Issues: Chronic overstimulation of the brain can disrupt the hippocampus, resulting in long-term memory problems, forgetfulness, or difficulty forming new memories.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Persistent overload may reduce the brain’s ability to focus, leading to attention deficits and difficulty completing tasks.
- Mental Fatigue: Constant cognitive strain can lead to chronic mental fatigue or “brain fog,” making it challenging to think clearly and process information.
2. Chronic Stress and Anxiety
- Hyperactivity of the Amygdala: The amygdala’s prolonged overstimulation can lead to a heightened and persistent stress response, making one more prone to anxiety disorders or panic attacks.
- Dysregulated Cortisol Levels: Chronic stress can lead to an overproduction of cortisol, potentially causing long-term health issues like hypertension, digestive problems, or immune suppression.
3. Emotional Instability
- Mood Disorders: Prolonged subliminal overload may increase the risk of developing mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder due to altered neurotransmitter levels (e.g., serotonin, dopamine).
- Emotional Dysregulation: There may be increased difficulty managing emotions, leading to extreme mood swings, irritability, or feelings of emotional numbness.
- Anhedonia: A diminished ability to experience pleasure due to dopamine dysregulation may occur, causing a lack of interest or motivation in activities that once brought joy.
4. Hormonal Imbalances
- Chronic Dysregulation of Hormones: Persistent exposure can affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, causing long-term imbalances in cortisol, adrenaline, and other hormones.
- Sexual Health Effects: Overexposure to subliminals targeting sexual confidence or attraction can lead to issues with libido, sexual performance, or hormonal fluctuations (e.g., testosterone, oxytocin).
5. Sleep Disorders
- Chronic Insomnia: Overload can disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep cycles, leading to difficulty falling or staying asleep, non-restorative sleep, or increased risk of long-term insomnia.
- Poor Sleep Quality: Even if sleep is achieved, it may be shallow or disturbed, leading to persistent fatigue and diminished recovery.
6. Physical Health Consequences
- Weakened Immune System: Chronic stress from subliminal overload can weaken the immune response, increasing susceptibility to infections, inflammation, and autoimmune issues.
- Digestive Problems: Persistent activation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response) can impair digestion, leading to conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, or chronic constipation.
- Chronic Pain or Tension: The buildup of stress-related physical tension may result in headaches, neck or back pain, or generalized muscle stiffness.
7. Social and Behavioral Changes
- Social Withdrawal: Emotional instability or cognitive issues may cause one to withdraw from social interactions or struggle with maintaining relationships.
- Addictive Behaviors: To cope with the stress or emotional discomfort caused by subliminal overload, there may be an increased risk of developing addictive behaviors, such as substance abuse, compulsive shopping, or excessive internet use.
- Increased Risk-Taking or Impulsivity: Dysregulated dopamine levels can increase impulsivity, leading to reckless decision-making or difficulty controlling behaviors.
8. Neuroplasticity and Brain Structure Changes
- Altered Brain Connectivity: Long-term exposure may lead to changes in neural connections, particularly in areas involved in emotional regulation, decision-making, and memory. While some changes could be adaptive, others may be maladaptive, contributing to mental health challenges.
- Neuroinflammation: Chronic stress and neurochemical imbalances can lead to neuroinflammation, potentially increasing the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease later in life.
9. Long-Term Dependence on Subliminals
- Psychological Dependence: Relying on subliminals for self-improvement or emotional regulation may lead to dependence, where one feels unable to function without them.
- Diminished Effectiveness Over Time: With constant exposure, the brain may become desensitized to subliminals, requiring stronger or more frequent stimuli to achieve the same effects.
10. Potential Epigenetic Changes
- Gene Expression Modulation: Chronic stress and changes in neurochemical activity can influence gene expression, potentially leading to long-term effects on stress response, mental health, and even future generations if the epigenetic changes are heritable.
The key to minimizing these potential long-term effects is to practice moderation, allow for breaks, and prioritize overall well-being. If symptoms persist, it may be wise to reduce exposure to subliminals, seek therapeutic support, or engage in practices like mindfulness, meditation, or physical exercise to rebalance the mind and body.
Try to rely on chatGPT less
Damn, this has for sure something I’ve been lacking on for 5 years and makes a ton of sense now, the biggest recon I get is always brain fog/etc. I always try to reconcile with caffeine; but notice I feel way better and more energized.
As for Chloine, I religiously eat 4 eggs every single morning, high grade/organic. Is that enough, or would it be reccomended to supplement on top of it. If so what is the dosage?
I have felt these symptoms when I used to overexpose myself. I am taking a nice break from it now.
TY for the supplement tip! Works great. 1000mg choline per day and the egg craving is gone.
