I hope you find your way. Depression is insidious, but millions of people find a way through to live a self-satisfying life. I hope you can be one of us.
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

This was the comment I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reminding me of that video series.
Recognizing what is NOT effective is important . But what is effective?
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 would think that Allah would be able to figure something out without needing nuclear weapons.
FYI anyone with access to the database of the hosted instance can do whatever they want.
The study shows that this strategy is only half effective.
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.
I want to thank you for your reply. Hearing about someone like you and your attempt to improve your community and the world I the ways you can is so uplifting!
People are social (even the introverts) and the return on in person, deep social interaction is another reason it’s important to fight the allure of convenience of online media being ones primary and most influencial social interaction. I love that you’re doing it!
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.
I am not happy now.
Wikipedia has a great image of orientations on the dates of Saturn’s opposition from 2001 thru 2029 (copied below). It really shows what’s going on and the approximate timing of visibility of the rings as they change from a Northern to Southern view from Earth’s perspective. Between March and November of 2025 the rings will be in the least visible orientations.
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.
That’s an interesting observation, it’d be interesting to see what could be the reason why that pattern might hold in a proper survey. But it could just be chance that it was that way at that particular facility.
Keep talking with your psychiatrist.
Seems like it’s pretty much like any other surface in your kitchen, it requires regular cleaning.
As I understand it, some studies don’t distinguish low-volume drinking from not drinking.
The quoted portion of the meta-study in the post makes it clear that the studies reviewed did distinguish between low-volume drinking and not drinking.
It wouldn’t surprise me if sample selection not taking into account social factors which would cause people who drink at low volumes to lie and say they don’t drink could play a role in certain studies.
Two organizations that are trying to make a difference:
The Journal of Trial and Error.

I found out about these today by the comments linked below:
