So I don't see many OGSF journals popping up so I'll journal mine.
So far I have completed 2 cycles and will begin my third tomorrow.
The first thing that struck me is that it's only 10 mins at 2 volume on my android. I was skeptical of such a low volume initially but not anymore.
This sub is a powerhouse.
I don't know what Shannon has done with 6g but OGSF does the work. I was initially doing OSC but ran into snags early and jumped to OGSF when it came out, and I'm also glad I did that. OGSF has been clearing things out like crazy. I will try to recall the first 2 cycles in as good of detail as I can but honestly, a lot of this is being done under the hood now so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to document.
But first a little backstory on how I ended up in the situation I found myself in.
In May, I saw the word maverick 3 times in one day and decided to give maverick another shot. I had grown a bit and other subs helped calm some fears in a long term fashion. I was starting to see some seemingly permanent results from 5.XX subs and was a little bit more confident about running Maverick and not getting the shit beat out of me terribly. A few months on Maverick I had a major breakthrough and after that I had an intuition that I should stop running Mav. Well, I didn't listen and continued to play it. The next few months were a downward spiral for me. I started getting really depressed and self isolated from a lot of people in general. In the end I was just holed up in my room unless I needed to do anything necessary.
After I eventually stopped using Mav some lingering issues stuck around and really messed me up as well as following me through other subs. My run through DMSI (which I'm excited about the 6g version coming out) was plagued my insecurity, fear and doubt that continued from Mav. This was deeply concerning to me as I wasn't sure how long the effects would last. I stopped Mav in October 2024 and struggled until OGSF.
DO I BLAME MAVERICK FOR DOING THIS................NO!!!!!!
I take responsibility for not listening to my intuition and trying to push through and almost damn near breaking myself. Maverick is no joke, and should be treated with respect.
That being said I do not regret the whole situation because I finally went through enough pain to respect my own intuition, and that was worth the pain.
After my DMSI run, I ran OSC for a bit but was plagued by internal angst and switched to OGSF a little after its release.
OGSF has been nothing short of a miracle.
The first cycle was smooth while on it with frequent dreams and a relaxed tempo. The first 3 days off were a bit challenging as I was definitely going through some processing. The next 3 days on were a little rocky and that culminated when I woke up the 3rd day overwhelmed by negative emotions and thoughts. I quickly played OGSF and calmed down and went about my day. After that was a breakthrough that hasn't stopped. Even today, which is my last day off of my second cycle, I feel like I'm running OGSF.
The benefits:
Fear: down
Shame: down
Guilt: down
stress: down
Fight or flight: down
happiness: up
peace: up
relaxation: up
There is more but I'm sure I've made this clear. In short order, OGSF has almost flipped my internal feelings 180 degrees!
OGSF has done quite a bit in a short time.
I'll update more as things unfold. This will be an interesting 2 months or more.
