Do you think love os just a biological component? Is romantic love just biology pulling towards reproduction? Is parental love biology keeping offspring safe? Do we just love because we are social creatures? What about animals? Etc, etc. Am I just overthinking to the point on being disillusioned? Is there something that we just cant fathom that is love?

Ive had floaters almost all my life, annoying and they drive me crazy. I regularly go to the eye doctor, and if anything seems off I immediately get it checked out.

Over a year and a half ago I was stressed about the floaters and suddenly noticed what looked like squiggly lines in my eyes. One in the top left of my left eye and the later noticed one on the left side of my right eye.

They weren't matched up, but both are similar in the way they behave. They dont move at all and I see them more prominently in certain lighting. I have basically stopped seeing all but the top left one in my left eye. It shows up when I'm thinking about it and stressing over floaters.

Ive been to the eye doctor to have it checked and been again for a routine exam where I was thoroughly checked over (I was very adamant and freaking out about it). Both times my eyes were perfectly healthy and showed no signs of anything wrong. The Dr told me that they were fairly certain that it's floaters and examined my eyes twice the first time I had them checked.

Is this likely more mental than physical? Is it possible to see a vein in the eye if youre hyper aware of your vision. I have bad health anxiety and for several years I was constantly worried about my vision and going blind (high myopia and a couple traumatic comments in my vistists from my previous eye doctor caused the anxiety). Im currently freaking out and just want to know if anyone else has experienced this. Ive been assured I'm fine, and it hasnt gotten worse, its mostly better unless im aware of it, but hearing from others is what I need to finally stop freaking out over this, I'm very tired of the constant worry.

Sorry for the long winded post, but any advice or comments would really help

How do you over come the drag of daily life. Spending each day doing much of the same, looking forward to the weekend, working out the week, and doing it over and over until the end? Would the afterlife be any different? How would we know? It just makes things feel so bleak.

I have a few ocd themes that seem to rotate in and out. One major one is going blind and a part of that is going blind from some sort of parasite or worm from my pets or something outside. I have spent hours just today on the compulsion of researching the different parasites I could get from my pets, how common they are, and if they will make me go blind.

How do I stop? I am petrified right now and cant see through the clouded lenses of ocd. I had gone a decent amount of time where my obsessions and compulsion were basically waning, and it was so pleasant. Now I feel like ive been hit with a freight train of anxiety and what ifs.

I heard that chickens could get roundworms from dogs and cats and that those species can infect humans. Is this something to be worried about? Any precautions i should take to avoid it if so?

I wake up with very dry eyes and it was recommended to me that a pm eye lubricant may help. My only concern is if it is safe to use and for ling time use. (I have an extreme fear of going blind or developing eye disease, so I just want to make sure that they would help and not harm.

Im wondering if it's just me or what, but I feel so guilty rehoming my chickens. I have had to for multiple reasons, but sometimes I feel way too guilty

Im just curious for those of you that have experienced an nde if this is the case for you

I know they reach processing age in 6-7 weeks, but not taking the factors of their bodies shutting down under their weight, would they ever stop growing? Or would they just continue to grow indefinitely? Sort of like a tumor?

(I have no interest in owning a broiler past processing age, just a random question that a Google search couldn't answer for me)

I found a larder beetles on a pair of shorts that had been taken downstairs the day before and within 8 hours I found another up stairs. What can I do to make sure i dont have an infestation? I had a garbage bag of feeder insect food that I cleaned out and brought down to toss out today. Could they have come from there or something else?

I can remember when I started highschool that I didnt go up my grandparents house as much (my middle and elementary school were close by, so I was at their house 5 days a week). I can remember going up to their house one day in highschool and basically felt like I forgot how to act around them. Im not sure if it is some anxiety issue or what.

My mom always told me not to ask them for anything and maybe I got in my head about that? (When I say asking for anything Im talking about like food or stuff) maybe I just felt awkward or something? Its been over a decade since them and one isnt here anymore, but I think about that every so often and it really bothers me. Why I would feel as though ive forgotten how to act around someone. I wish I knew if that was a normal part of human behavior or if it was just me.

Do you think dogs actually like being with us or do you think they would rather leave given the chance?

Edit to add another question: do you think its different based on if the dog is spayed/neutered?

Im talking about animals that are kept for the sole purpose of being a pet. Not a dog kept for guarding, hunting, herding, or ratting, but one kept as a companion. Including things that arent your typical cat or dog (reptiles, hamsters, birds, and so on)

I've noticed over the past couple years (but its been really bad this year alone) that I have had the hardest time with my own decisions and opinions and im not really sure why. It can be something as simple as picking a favorite tv show, I will psyche myself out, think "do I really like it enough to say its my favorite? What if I watched it again and didnt like it? I dont want to make myself not like it like I did. Can I even pick a favorite?."

Or something as complex as morals over things that never bothered me or about current events and what everyone is yelling is right or wrong on social media in terms of very polarizing topics. Its like I'm being pulled in both directions but stuck in the middle. And over thinking and agonizing over whats right and wrong about whatever subject makes me feel like I am actually going to go insane.

Is it a problem with black and white thinking? An all or nothing sort of mind set? Too much looking at the "bigger picture"? I feel like its tearing me apart at this point and im not sure what to do.

Edit to formay & Edit to add: if im having an active conversation with someone about something it isnt so bad, but its afterwards that ill try to break down every little thing I said and wonder if im wrong. I dont even know if there is a right or wrong at this point.

I get so guilty when I'm choosing who to part with. I get attatched to them and the guilt of rehoming them makes me feel as if I'm somehow betraying them (hens and roosters both, bit I really feel bad about the hens). That isnt always the case, but the ones Im close to and are always running to me instead of away, I just feel so bad. I get in my head feeling like im treating them as objects and using them instead of living sentient creatures. I just want to know if its just me, or there's another way I should be thinking about it.

Edit: spelling

I feel like I've spent ages researching and before I throw my hands in the air and order, does anyone have experience with diamond flurry lux and would you recommend it? If not what would you personally recommend instead?

Can someone more knowledgeable give me some insight on the problems of evil in the world, past and present. I believe most people are good, and that at the end of it all we will meet again in one way or another. But I have such a hard time understanding somethings and how someone could even think to do them.

Slavery being a big thought problem im having. How did people think it was ok? Did people actually believe it was entirely normal? Im a live and let live sort of person, so long as you arent harming anyone or yourself, or making your problems someone else's problem. I cant understand how people could do it. I also dont get rasicsm. Were all people right? Why do differences in physical appearance make any difference? So long as you are a decent person, isnt that all that matters?

Im just struggling with the thought of it all and I dont know how to reconcile it. How can those who've done such evil meet again in an afterlife if they believe humans arent all, well, human?

What do you think about there being parallel universes where and infinite number of ourselfves would exist? What would this mean for "us?" As in, would that mean we as an individual exist elsewhere?

I cant wrap my mind around it. I believe in the individuality of each person, but the thought of "me" existing somewhere else doesn't make sense. That person would not actually be "me" then would it?

I saw something stating that those parallel selves have impact on our lives. That makes zero sense to me aswell. To me this whole thing messes with my thoughts of spirituality. Is there actual scientific backing to parallel universes?

Edit: I forgot to add, the whole quantum mechanics thing has me utterly confused aswell.
