I regularly do, then return later.

Change can be scary. Sounds like you are making good choices – keep it up!

That is not what I think. Sleep on our conversation.

There is a difference between the modifications you mentioned and active drug use – whether it is one-off or needs to be actively maintained. I did not insult you; the fact that the information provided made you feel that way may be a good indicator for you to explore. Best of luck in your travels!

Sounds like they are a crutch. Is okay for a little while, not a solution. I wish you reconnect. :)

That is quite a wall of text, my dude. A very individualistic perspective. You do make good points about regulation. Drug use in this way is not something to strive for; usually a symptom of disconnect.

If you are truly well, then power to you. Seeing this post though, we do wonder.

I mean, this unit is Belgian. Here in the Netherlands our southern neighbors are (lovingly) said to be… uh, well… how do I say it? Slightly less wrinklybrained. :p

Jokes aside: This assessment is probably realistic at this very moment; we still very much rely on the USAians for many cloud and AI services. EU is making quite an effort to localize though. Fairly certain the reliance will much decrease. At the same time, it is not realistic to assume we will be able to match the level of technological advancement overseas. Honestly, one might wonder if this is required.

Fairly certain we will be just fine in the long run.

Your observation is recognized. Probably caused by a structural lack of social support leading to volcano-like situations.

One can only hope that enough empathy is found in the recipient of a trauma dump. If you are and having trouble, feel free to slow your peer down a bit and take a break if needed. If you feel overwhelmed, do not hesitate to tell them you would love to be there for them even more and need a little time to process yourself.*

If you have a lot of trauma stacked up and feel like you may explode, time to choose a part of it to share with someone – not all at the same time if you can. Even though your own emotions are incredibly difficult to bare, make the effort to also consider how the person you want to talk to is feeling and can bare.

All in all a very difficult thing. Fortunately there are still so many people who are willing and able to support each other.

Oh, remember: Psychologists often go to therapy every now and then or structurally if required to be able to keep helping clients with all kinds of emotional stories.

All in due time, it is silly to put so much value on one or a few days. Every day can be Christmas when we treat each other well. Good will come to those who deserve, time will tell.

I would even go as far as to state everything can be true, at the same time.

Si Menôre Poppitdy; atlantis does exist you see, named it always has been the New Land of the Sea.

Fully agree, feel the same way.

We have it already! ^^ <3

Hydrohomies!

Now add some spaceships flying into the tower!

Perhaps that was not the goal of the exercise.

I respect your personal experience.

Must be because full-ish sounds way too much like foolish, making people think it is a useless thing to do.

Make your own future! Go outside, tell a stranger this beautiful story!
