At least they give you a slip button, unlike Paramount+

My doctor actually prescribed me some meds to help me sleep. But instead of something like ambient or trazadone that just knock you out, this one is designed to help sleep problems caused by anxiety. I took it for the first time last week and woke up feeling refreshed for the first time in years. Which in turn has helped my entire mood.

ACT sounds very interesting. There are stressors I'll never get rid of. But that sounds like it could help having them control my life. Thanks!

Thanks, those both look interesting. I've already ordered the first one.

Need to channel my inner Gen x and just go, "whatever"

Seriously, I can't wait to get out of Texas. I had some edibles in Colorado and they were 10 times better than any prescription anxiety meds I've taken. The delta-8/9 crap you can get here just makes my dizzy.

I cut out Facebook in 2020 an Twitter when it became X. I can't tell you how much that has improved my mental state.

The dude is spirit animals, or at least the one I aspire to be.

I'm sorry you had to go through that but glad to hear it helped you on the long run. It is definitely something I try to remember.

My father-in-law, who was a very successful banker, told me before I married his daughter that he would give everything back to spend more time with his daughters when they were younger.

I feel that. I have a good 6 figure job, my kids don't want for any thing, but are not spoiled. I have a supportive and loving wife. So I always feel a little guilty for complaining. I know there are people way worse off than me. I know every problem I have is 100% first world problems. But I also know that doesn't discount my stresses.

I really think the Buddhist are doing things right. Ive tried meditating but my ADHD makes it damn near impossible. Maybe I need to find someone who can help with it.

I would say you are pretty spot on. I was raised by a narcissistic father, who always told me I wasn't living up to my potential. It's taken years of therapy to get over that feeling and it still creeps up from time to time.

I like the thought on should. I never thought about it that way before. Which is funny because that is what I always tell me kids. If they do something wrong I don't sit there and harp on them about what they did wrong like my parents did to me. I talk to them about how we can handle that situation better in the future. Guess I need to listen to myself more often.

I've been in therapy for years and it is very much accumulated stress. At this point I don't know what other stress I can cut out, so I figured of maybe I could lessen the impact across the board it might help. Like if I could compress my stress so it takes up less resources.

I'll have to check that out. My wife bought me the little book of calm and it's just full.of stuff like, "well you feel angry, try to be calm"

I've worked through that stuff a bunch with my therapist. I do unfortunately have a lot work and family related stress that I can't avoid. Which is why I'm always trying to figure out how not to things bother me. I've been setting firmer boundaries at work, but can't exactly do that with family, but if I could somehow not let things bother me I'd be better. For example, my 12 year old is autistic, and will do things like walk up to me and say, "no TV!". To whichy response is always, "that is not how we ask for things". Then he will ask, "dad, can I watch TV?".This has been going on for years, so it immediately gets on my nerves because I know he knows how to ask properly. But I also know I shouldn't really care that much.

Also fuck CVS for making deals with insurance companies to force people to use them.

It has to do with the setting. It's not just a Native American riding away on horse back, but the fact that the settler is watching him with his rifle near by. It is like he is driving him away and claiming the land for his own.

The problem here is you are trying to resolve the problem. The thing is Republicans don't want to solve the immigration issues. They want to use immigrates as scape goats, distractions, and hot button issues that get their base riled up.

An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise.

Texas Monthly continuing to fight the good fight here, and telling it like it is. Sadly half of my family calls them fake news.

swing justice

Kids these days will have no idea what that is

Since the US never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, they can still call it a Reich
