How to get brain damage slowly?

[Davey36000]

On a long term period? Perhaps it will be easier to cbt then

Best way I can think of is probably something like a tumor, but I assume you don't have cancer, so that's pretty much impossible.

Basically all other types of brain damage arise from instant trauma or injury, so nothing slowly.


Edit: Maybe something like this? It involves repeated blows to the head, so I guess maybe that's an option?

Please don't. Either try ctb or just live, but don't hurt your brain. You don't deserve to suffer from disability like so many people are unfortunately doing.

You do realize you can just do drugs or something in order to reduce your SI instead, right?

Brain damage isn't an all encompassing term. Even if you did somehow successfully do this, you have no pick of what kind of brain damage you would wind up with. Perhaps you damage your brain in such a way to lose your memories (short and/or long term), or maybe you strike things in just the right way to become happier. However you are just as likely (more likely actually) to wind up blind, deaf, partially paralyzed, or otherwise physically disabled but cognitively still in the same space. Now you've just made things worse for yourself. It's also not uncommon for brain damage to cause personality changes that make people angry or more depressed. Logistics of even doing this aside, it is a very horrible gamble to take and not one likely to end in your favor.

Well said, I hope OP listens to you. My brain's been damaged and my life's been hell for decades. My short/long term memory is messed up. My personality changed in ways I can't describe. I used to be an exravert, after the damage I became way more intoverted and awkward. I lost all my friends and can't form new ones. My thought processes and ability to communicate have been severely affected. I've had one attempt, I wish it would've worked. My life is pretty pointless and meaningless but I'm trying to wait out my mom. Please find a different way OP
