I've been balls deep into everything going on for the past two years. I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on GAW, but I feel like it's taking a huge toll on my mental health and my general well being. For those of you who have taken a break, how long did you take a break from it all for and what were the results? Recharged? Nothing?

Go on a 15 day vacation. No technology not even TV. Allow yourself to be bored. Take each moment in. Even the boredom. You will be 100 percent after.
I take frequent little breaks dictated by my schedule in some ways--work, family events, garden and seedling dictates. I've been heavily following everything since 2016. But I grew up steeped in the "conspiracy" info--thank you to my Dad who recommended "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" and who listened to Art Bell all the time--so I maybe have a thicker skin on some of it that people more recently exposed.
The best advice I would offer is this: the point of power is in the present moment, the NOW. All the research online or in books or wherever takes us out of the present moment into the past or thinking about the future. That's all fine, but breaks are good. And literally anything that is in the moment can provide that for us: mowing the lawn, doing dishes, cleaning, etc. I mention those things specifically because for me bringing order when I'm frustrated about anything automatically and quickly eases my mind. In the past, when I've dealt with real depression, I've found that cleaning out closets or drawers is VERY helpful. It's almost a metaphor for what needs to happen in my mind when I'm in that state.
I specifically stay away from ALL MSM.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, fren. Sending you light.
This is WAR and even soldiers need R&R every now and then. You’re not being weak. You’re sharpening your “axe”.
Do not feel weak or guilty about taking time away. Live a little. You having a good life is everything the forces of evil are plotting against. Fuck’em.
Ditto! I’ve been at it for almost 8 years. This has completely taken over my life. For the exception of a day or two, I’ve never really taken a break either. I’m thinking of limiting my time with this to only 20 minutes a day. Do you think that would work for you? It’s hard to completely remove yourself from all this.
I'm going on a vacation next week and I'm not going to check any type of news. Im sure it'll be difficult, but im going to try.
Good luck! Keep us posted when you return!
I take a week off every 4 months or so. I don't look for news online and just shutdown the outside world. Take my dog for a walk, one of my favorite things to do. I find I come back ready to catch up.😊🇺🇸
I take as many breaks as needed. Usually, they're what I would call micro breaks. A day or two. Or, just check in long enoughy to keep tabs on things, but not comment on much, if anything.
I get banned on here often enough to constitute healthy breaks. Your problem is you aren’t questioning BOTH sides of the Hegelian Dialectic.
But I digress...
LOL, see - I told ya!!!
Ummm, because “balls deep”.
I was decoding Q’s posts live after finding out about it solving cicada... question everything!!! Stay frosty :)
Go outside, breathe some fresh air. Bathe in the sun, look at the moon. Breathe and watch that monkey-mind thought-stream run unchecked for a while.
You'll be as good as new shortly thereafter...
I've been on hiatus several times, no idea on how long or planned term. I just take a break basically being that I've gotten sick and tired of it all. The break is over when I find myself getting curious as to what's new.
I'd say probably about a month, month and a half.
When I need a break I only check GAW for fifteen minutes in the morning and then 15 at night. Just so I don’t get too lost when I’m ready to come back.
Buy a jet ski & ride it hard like Kenny from Eastbound & Down.
Between GAW and superstonk/amc, i dont find much peace. The stock forums used to be my relaxing place, but since things are pretty hot and heavy over there I have lost the relieving factors it used to be.
I always remind myself of that Q post that said “you cannot tell them, you must show them”. So I have accepted that the current moments are going to be terrible. I remind myself that the battle is already won, and that we are just waiting for things to play out. There is some peace knowing that.
Also remember everything is temporary, you will be better off once all the chips have finally fallen. And there has been so many wins, good thing are happening! Even if it seems bad, just know it’s gotta get bad before it gets better, and we are in the process of guiding the normies to the true strength that us the people have. Being patient is the hardest part. It will get better fren. No doubt.
I cut myself down to an hour each day of this stuff. It has really helped!
I use GAW to take a break from watching real time shill shit posting on QR
Ron Paul's advice.. back when things were much more 'impossible' to wake people up was "Make sure you have fun in what you're doing." He was asked basically how he could keep being so optimistic despite everything going against him so often and he said that. I saw it live at one of his speeches.. He also said it hits that much harder for those against you when you appear to be having fun.
I take breaks throughout the day, and always try to have a 'dream' to ponder, that I can research. example, i want to vacation along the lewis and clark trail, so I've been researching different towns, etc.
I like your idea! I too have found that an occasional second interest gives me a refreshing break from liberal madness.
When you know the truth and trust the plan. I mean truly trust the plan, even when it seems as if it’s not going accordingly, that’s when you can let go of the constant information intake. Know that God is in control and in the end He wins. Take breaks to read the Bible instead of the news.

You are referring to them temporarily banning some accounts during a maintenance period then unbanning them? What are they actually censoring?
It kind of flies in the face of their stance of being so pro- freedom of speech.
TS made a huge deal about how they weren't going to be like Twitter and censor people they disagree with.
I think all of their hype about being so pro-free speech is going to come back and bite them in their ass.
.....hobbies are important. Spend a weekend doing a hobby....by Monday you will be ready to get all up in the shit again.
I quit drinking and have been working on my brain/sanity, too.
I don't know because I don't get burned out. I am STOKED we're finally seeing the deep state flounder. Every day I see good things happening and I know NCSWIC and God wins!! I'm so happy to be alive and awake at this point in time. This place constantly reaffirms to me that Patriots are in control. But if you're getting down, think about the big picture. What I know now versus 7 years ago is amazing! God bless!
I have a boring job with GREAT Co Workers. I come home tired and get on and feel comfy AF. Like everyone is saying take a break and then just enjoy the ride NCSWIC
Build or create for your own enjoyment and accept that the world has little to give but much to take so give freely before the world takes it.
The giving benefits your soul.
THIS!! Have fun while you can, life is short. Plus, big problems are less noticeable to you personally when you’re one person among billions.
