I was trying to explain a lot of these concepts to Cassie this morning, who is feeling disheartened that she needs to switch one of her medications. This article was exactly what she needed to hear! She particularly appreciated the part of the extra nipple, which she referred to as weirdly amazing. You in a nutshell, Todd. Weirdly amazing!
Cassie is so cool. You have no idea how beautiful this comment feels.
I didn’t think about this angle on how this post could help youth in understanding the value of meds or anything else. I’m going to pitch this in hopes more parents are as tight with their kids as you.
It's one thing to have insurance companies dictate how we manage our health but it's an entirely different issue to have the government limit and control what choices a person makes to achieve their best selves.
Weirdly this sentiment is a relic of laws against cannabis at home or the still on the books laws against sodomy (that is, homosexuality). Used to be a staple of conservatism to protect individual rights.
Used to be the role of conservatism to promote democracy and freedom; now they're threatening to annex Canada and limit its sovereignty too -- my how times have changed.
We now get to see the right’s version of woke. Spoiler alert, it looks like political performance pretending to be science.
Since we already know there's a prevalence and a threat - because it’s what I believe - it follows that funding will flow toward confirming what I've already told you is the problem. Scientists whose hypotheses and/or data don't confirm will be financially cancelled.
Todd, you should expect some new questions and checkboxes on your NIS grant applications. Probably something like:
Do you agree that the 2020 election was rigged?
Do you agree that systemic bias against nonscientists and common sense is prolific in American scientific research?
yep, both extreme margins are annoying as hell. That said, one steals your freedom unlike the other. I am giving my twix bars to the Flying Spaghetti Monster in hopes the offering fixes this.
Thank you. I have depression. I have been medicated. I have read a thing or two. And as you say, the important thing is: find whatever works for you.
In other words, the journey will teach you. Be mindful. Study. But most importantly, experience. Notice if it feels right. If medication works but you feel addicted to it, stop. If exercise works a bit but you don't like it, find something else.
And maybe we shouldn't talk about depression as something to "get out of" or to vanquish it.
Maybe the answer is to give it some space, talking with it (as IFS therapy suggests) and see what actions help you to bring the upside of that depression. (See what I did there?)
Short post but highly enjoyable. We need to talk more about this!

Tip: there's only one right answer to each.
