1. Forced sleep deprivation
- sleep is literally the scaffold that holds your sanity together. tear it down, and watch what happens. start by depriving yourself of a full night’s sleep, but if you want the hardcore way (which I doubt you retards would), aim for days without rest.
stage one:
- you’ll feel foggy and irritable. reality might seem a bit more… textured. by day two, you’re dipping into hallucination territory. shapes, shadows, colors will start to merge.
stage two:
- go beyond three days. you’ll likely start seeing people in the corner of your vision that aren’t there. phrases repeat in your head like loops. your thoughts might feel stuck on certain ideas, like they’re glued in place.
final stage:
- days five to seven. you’re now on the funhouse level: voices from objects, walls breathing. time becomes a blurry concept.

2. Sensory deprivation, isolation tanks-style
- have you ever been alone in complete silence and darkness, to the point that your brain starts playing tricks? try going hardcore with sensory deprivation tanks — total darkness, weightlessness in salt water, no fucking sound.
the mind wanders:
- at first, you’ll feel calm, maybe even bored. then your brain starts filling in the blanks. every thought feels louder, sharper. don’t be surprised if you start hearing noises, or if your mind starts dredging up random, long-lost memories.
self-fragmentation:
- after about an hour, you may start losing track of who "you" are in that space. you’re no longer just floating; you’re one with the black void. it’s like being eaten alive by the concept of silence itself.

3. Existential overthinking
- this is a trapdoor in your own head. sit down and really ponder reality — i mean, fully peel back all the layers. question the concept of time, the fact that you’re a bunch of atoms thinking about being atoms, and why existence is even happening.
step-by-step breakdown:
- spend at least an hour convincing yourself that free will doesn’t exist, that nothing you do actually matters, and that the world might just be a giant simulation. the more you spiral, the further you’ll fall into a pit of nihilistic dread that’ll shake your core beliefs.
the aftermath:
- if you really dig in, your brain will start questioning every single fucking thing, right down to "is anything real?" and "what if i’m just a figment of someone else’s imagination?"

4. Looping or repetition overload
- find a repetitive task, sound, or image and lock yourself into it for hours, maybe even days. think about people watching the same movie for 24 hours, or listening to the same 10-second audio loop on repeat.
stage one:
- your mind numbs. it starts slipping into autopilot, like your brain’s entering a trance.
deeper stage:
- at some point, the brain rebels against the loop. it fights back by making you think you’re hearing new sounds or seeing hidden patterns in what’s just the same nonsense. that’s when things start to feel surreal.
final descent:
- the world outside the loop might feel like the real dream. the loop starts becoming your reality. things outside the loop might feel as bizarre as the loop itself.

5. Cognitive dissonance and gaslighting yourself
- ever gaslit yourself? it’s surprisingly fucking easy. write down basic truths about yourself, like things you know to be 100% real. then, spend an hour questioning each one, like “am i actually who i think i am?” or “did that memory even happen?”
digging in:
- convince yourself that certain memories are fake. maybe your family is fake too, or your friends. build this web of lies in your own head until even you’re unsure what’s real anymore.
final fallout:
- after this, your own memories, sense of identity, and trust in yourself can feel like they’re coming apart at the seams. paranoia creeps in, and it’s hard to feel grounded in anything.

6. Mirror-gazing until reality feels broken
- spend hours just staring at your own reflection, no blinking, no moving. it starts warping your perception. mirrors mess with the brain’s grasp on reality when you stare too long.
beginning stage:
- after about five minutes, you start seeing slight distortions. maybe your face looks a bit off.
paranoia sets in:
- at 10-15 minutes, your face might seem to morph into someone else’s. you’re just staring, not recognizing yourself anymore.
total disconnect:
- eventually, your brain loses the ability to recognize the "you" in the mirror as you. it's like you’re staring into the eyes of a stranger — but it's your own reflection.

7. Breaking temporal awareness (messed-up time loops)
- lock yourself in a room with no clocks, no windows, no sense of time at all. set the light on a dimmer that changes sporadically. spend a few days in there, only sleeping when you're actually tired.
time distortion:
- within a few days, time starts to feel more like a suggestion than a rule. it could be the middle of the night or the middle of the day; you don’t know, and your body starts losing the usual rhythm.
breakdown:
- eventually, it’ll feel like you've been there forever or no time at all. your mind loses the sense of past, present, and future in a disorienting way. stepping out might make the world feel like it’s been put on fast-forward or slow-motion.

8. Social isolation with purpose
- find somewhere remote, preferably where you’ll be totally alone. no people, no social media, no reminders that the outside world even exists. cut off for as long as you can stomach.
loneliness as a poison:
- by day three, you’ll crave interaction. your mind will even start playing tricks, hearing voices in the silence. it’s like you’re rewiring your brain to tolerate solitude — but not in a peaceful way (of fucking course)
self-dialogue:
- eventually, your only conversations are the ones you’re having with yourself. you’re inventing people to talk to. being alone doesn’t just feel like isolation; it feels like being trapped in your own head.

9. Breaking personal taboos
- there’s a reason taboos exist; crossing certain boundaries pushes us psychologically. start with something uncomfortable, maybe an intense horror movie, or a story that messes with your moral compass.
Psychological descent:
- engage with something so against your personal ethics it makes you uneasy, but keep going deeper. spend time in it until your mind acclimates to it.
Internal conflict:
- eventually, your sense of "what's okay" and "what's not" starts to warp. you might find yourself drawn to things you were disgusted by before, leading to an existential confusion about who you are.

10. Psychedelic ego death
- certain psychedelics, if you ever wandered that route, can break down the ego to the point where "you" don’t exist anymore. this isn’t casual — it’s mentally exhausting and genuinely intense.
ego dissolution:
- as you go deep, you start seeing life from an entirely detached perspective. you’re not "you" anymore. the boundaries of identity dissolve, leaving only raw awareness.
rebirth or collapse:
- on the other side, either you rebuild a new understanding of yourself, or you just fall into this space of detached nihilism. either way, sanity doesn’t come out untouched.

don't do this.
