Do you mind expanding? I don't know much about CBT, but I am curious about it. Tbh I tried therapy once with like a few sessions and I didn't really like the therapist because she was 30 mins late to each session and would try to tell me things that I felt were untrue. Would be curious to know if I attempt therapy again what sort of things to look for or avoid. I know CBT is one of the "trendiest" therapies these days but I don't know much about it.
Whoa I never thought of the coffee thing. I gotta try that!
Haha...I know about the almighty algorithm, but that's not really the case for what I mean.
Ex: On Spotify, I have both happy songs and sad songs. I click on the sad songs and choose the sad playlists when I'm sad, even though they just propagate sadness. The option to choose the happy songs is right there and I'm not being "pushed" by some computer to pick the sad option. I just do.
Thank you for the suggestion. I don't think I'm neurodivergent, just have a low mood and wasn't sure where the proper general conversation community to post in would be.
I've only tried weed gummies. I don't really like the thought of stuff going into my lungs.
Anyway, I don't seem to get anxiety with them, but they make me feel like I'm sick with the flu...except I'm hungry instead of nauseated. It's pretty unpleasant. I don't get pleasurable feelings out of it really unfortunately. Wish I could.
That's interesting. I wonder if I can trick myself into doing stuff like that as a form of punishment. Generally I find myself unable to move so I just stare into space. Sometimes I have a hard time even moving my arms and legs to drive home from work. Or to get out of the car once I've parked out front. How do you manage to start?
What made you decide to start dating if you hadn't done so prior? If you don't mind me asking. I'm also 30 and haven't ever dated really so I was just curious.
Wow wtf I had an almost identical dating experience...I went on one or two (can't remember which) awkward, uncomfortable dates realizing I wasn't into doing it. I felt really bad about it too!! I was probably early 20s at the time. I'm 30 now and have never tried again.
Sometimes I think about trying again with someone from an ace dating website, but no one on there is mutually interested and geographically close enough.
Honestly, it's a good idea. Isn't this how some people survived Hurricane Katrina?
As someone living in Florida where people generally are able to predict and prepare for storms like this (even though they still cause devastation), I had absolutely no idea that it was possible for devastation like this to occur from a hurricane all the way in North Carolina. My power didn't even go out. Did the people living there know this could happen? Was it a surprise??? How is there so much flooding over there???
It's interesting as I wonder if that's what my therapist was going to begin to try. She would try to explain how my thoughts are untrue, but I don't think that made much sense. What would have made more sense is to accept that there are points to these thoughts and then to try to figure out where to go from there.
Did you find anything in particular that helped you?
