I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it’s a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

    Have you sought out a second opinion? Doctors can be wrong with the best of intentions.

    “should be easy to find someone who doesn’t give a damn about the rest of your health” shows that he has a strong bias.

    It should be easy to find an equally caring and competent doctor that may know more about addiction and ADHD.





  • I don’t think their research is in conflict with your perception here.

    “The study found that just having a first-class section on an airplane quadrupled the chance of an air rage incident and that loading economy passengers through first class doubles that again.”

    The whole experience is shit and having a first class section makes it even worse psychologically.



  • Rather than take a defeatist veiw from this line if thinking, it will do well for your mental health to first spend more time, energy and thoughts on things you can control. Not just things related to environmentalism, but broadly reduce energy, engagement and focus from the things you don’t have significant control over and direct them to those things you do have control. It’s good to get a broad picture and observe the world around you outside of your control in small doses, but it’s easy to over indulge in an unfocused survey of problems in the world, especially on social media. (I include Lemmy communities in the social media category).

    Furthermore, when you do engage with these problems, do so with more narrow focus and in more depth with an eye towards understanding the level of impact the problem has and what organizations or policy positions you can support to amplify your limited influence over the issues that causee the problem. In this way you can mitigate the feelings of helplessness and sense of there being many existential and imminent problems you need to contend with but cannot remedy. You can turn seemingly untouchable solutions into real possibilities without overwhelming your emotional capacity by working with others.




  • Slow single leg heel drops.

    Fore foot raises with your back and butt against the wall and feet about the length of your foot away from the wall.

    The above are preventative strength exercises that should be done when you aren’t currently feeling shin splint pain.

    Make sure it’s not a stress fracture.

    Rest and stretch the lower legs muscles.

    Reduce how long and how often you run for a while after your pain stops.
