YouTube has reached a new low where almost every news piece or information segment are now narrated by AI voiceovers. And it is terrible! It's so frustrating wanting to learn something when the AI voiceover doesn't know a period, comma, tonality and intonation.

I read something the other day…there are 8 billion people on the planet. If Elon Musk gave all 8 billion people $1 billion, he would still have &420 billion.
if I had several billion dollars I wouldn't have several billion dollars because I'd have used it to help literally millions of people. anyone holding onto billions of dollars is an evil cunt. happy new year!

I have found that people who are desperate for help, understand that intentional work is required. I find a lot of people who unfortunately feel too comfortable in their own misery. Unpopular observation.
Unpopular fact: Trauma doesn't just 'go away with time.' Healing requires effort, support, and intentional work.

Antidepressants can improve mental health but may have long-term side effects like emotional blunting, weight gain, sleep disruptions, and sexual dysfunction. Is the mental health field failing us? I think so. And so does Chris Palmer, psychiatrist out of Harvard Uni. #MentalHealth #Antidepressants

The STAR*D trial highlighted a critical conclusion: despite comprehensive, stepwise treatment approaches, 33% of patients still suffered from major depressive disorder even after progressing through all four levels of treatment. This outcome underscored the limitations of current treatment options.

Anonymity in AA and NA fosters relapse by isolating recovery within "secret" meetings, disconnected from those actively struggling. True sobriety demands accountability and a fellowship beyond the rooms, built by openly sharing our truths in the real world.

I don’t have ADHD, but when I’m so tired at night that I can barely keep my eyes open, the moment my head hits the pillow, my brain goes “Fuck you dude…party time. We’re inviting every thought that’s ever crossed your mind. And mix it with some shame and guilt. Cocktail time”.

I keep thinking about how easy it is to have decision fatigue due to the overabundance of shopping choices, social media, misinformation, and work demands (email, slack messages, reports, HR systems, all the different ways for video and phone calls) and how managing all this esp draining with ADHD.

Over prescribed to those who don’t need it, and under diagnosed for those who do. The mental health profession hasn’t coloured itself in a good light for way too long now. Which is why I backed my own research and “testing” to cure my side effects of pills and get my mental disorders in remission
I sometimes am astonished at how bad the medical profession is at detecting ADHD especially for those born in the 80s or earlier. I have met some people where it's so obvious you'd have to be wilfully negligent not to see it, and these people have had doctors deny their requests.

What was the treatment that gave you back your freedom? And if antidepressants, what was the sacrifices?
I can totally relate to 1, 2 and 3. I didn't have the energy for social media and I was convinced I had no future.

Even at 19 years of sobriety, Sundays still remain one of my worst days. I don’t have triggers, nor do I crave alcohol, but it has always felt like a day of loneliness. Same with Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. I wonder how many can relate
Happy Sunday, it's a great day to be sober 😊
Our very lives, as ex-problem drinkers, depend upon our constant thought of others and how we may help meet their needs.

Beautifully said. Emotions, highs and lows are absolutely essential to your physiological health. If you feel like grieving, it’s your body telling you it needs to. Antidepressants, unfortunately, kills that emotional ability and you will pay the price over time.
Do less avoiding your emotions, do more understanding them.
This will help you take control and find clarity.

It took me 25 years of suffering from severe suicidal ideations and anxiety, to finally conduct my own insanely in depth 10 year research stint to finally compile a set of guidelines, where I could get off my meds, keep my depression in remission, keep my sobriety and live a healthy, balanced life.

It drives me up the wall to see people struggle, even when their conditions are in remission, because the treatment “adequately” subdue the symptoms, but the side effects are a worse trade off for most. Is science really evolving around these issues are we seeing something sinister at play?
