I know your point. Access to professional help is a privilege that few have.
I think next best thing is socialising. There’s probably groups in your area (see social media for that, meetup, Facebook, forums) that meet up and talk. I highly recommend in-person meetings. Also I tried giving my body some help with food. Carbs give you some serotonin.
Damn that’s a strong text. Thank you for that. That really moved me
The more I aged, the more “hopes and dreams” I gave up on. I guess that’s the normal human experience. You might want to be a pro in sports or a dancer or a famous doctor…but then you grow out of the age where reaching those is possible (dancing goes first…).
Other than that, I’ve given up on so many hopes, only to then later get back to them. Like the hope of connecting to people, or to make art, to teach,…those and more are things I gave up on and later readopted.
So give up hope, but it might just come back :)
Remember how many people made fun of those bumper stickers that said “when the last tree has been felled” and stuff like that? Yeah seems like they were right. It “may” represent a turning point, after a hurricane…
The secret to living to 110 was, don’t register your death.
yeah lol
short version: almost all “very old humans” are just dead and never register their deaths
I am overjoyed!!! As I watched the Olympics I thought that all the equestrian sports needs to be replaced with hobby horsing. Let the poor horses be… The jockeys need more guts and do it all on a hobby horse
Hey that’s cool. I get my music from “all songs considered” (new music Friday), the NPR podcast.
Last thing I enjoyed was the new album “embers” by God is an astronaut.
i have problems explaining my job to myself. As I sit on the floor, painting a wall or scrubbing the floor or as I’m trying to repair a door… yeah that’s not my job description
I have a fidget ring. It’s great. But I don’t worry about colleagues any more than other social contacts. They’re not some weird different set of people.
Ask questions. That’s always a good way to stop over sharing.
here’s a neat trick:
EVERY GAME IS A GAME FOR GIRLS
oh and also: android games for “primary school children” are just scams 99.99% of the time. buy games, don’t do ad-based games, no micro-transactions.
i mean. read the article maybe?
Petrillo, 50, was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a degenerative condition of the eyes, at the age of 14. She competes in the women’s T12 category for athletes with a visual impairment.
hey I really appreciate the insight and the explanation! you made me understand that concern and helped me learn :) thanks!
you know what I always stan for? “former Twitter”. I just love that shit! I hope it always stays like this to show that the rebranding didn’T work
What’s the danger there? (Just curious)
The floating cup is a very nice detail:)
Maybe we don’t care about right-wing comments?
Talk to them and react to their communication.
The biggest turn-on for any person is being taken serious and actively seeking consent.
That’s it. That’s the general advice.

Here’s the interesting point:
Half of the patients received weekly standard videoconference sessions with a therapist for 30 to 45 minutes.
The other half received psychotherapy delivered via voice or text messages, where patients could interact with the therapist whenever and how often they wanted.
So it’s not text Vs in-person. It’s also “whenever and how often they wanted” How tf do therapists do that? Texting 24/7 with dozens of people?
Also the study had 215 people. So 100+ per group. Not that big.
I think this study rather shows how important in-person therapy is. Since it shows that texting or video calls are comparably (non-)effective
Just take the T
