I hate this so much. Like, I have ADHD. I constantly have to struggle with it, and I take my meds every day so that I can kinda sorta function. I don't have a superpower. I'm not special. The notion that de-stigmatizing means that we instead have to worship disabilities/impairments (I tend to think of my mental shit as a cognitive impairment rather than a disability, like I'm drunk all the time on anxiety, depression, and a lack of dopamine). It's okay for things to be bad! Like, if my kidney just didn't work right and I had a condition there wouldn't be any stigma, it's not my fault I got a shit kidney! I got a bum brain, and that sucks, but like it's not my fault my brain is shit! I don't think that it's my fault, and no one else should either.
Or maybe I have super justice sensitivity powers, where through no fault of my own I am just better than some of you, you "normies." I didn't study and work to develop my sense of right and wrong, I didn't try to improve myself as a person, I haven't spent effort and time to make my character more virtuous, I was just given this by the grace of having a brain with dopamine issues.
Suck it nerds.
All of these things basically end up coming back to this for me:
I have that really ingratiating friend that always feels like she has something to offer me about mental health, and last week she was pestering me about the depressive slump I’ve been in. She tried to tell me, “yoga changed my life!” and I needed to get in to see a naturopath and I just very directly told her to stop suggesting those things and I don’t believe in any of it.
She was taken aback and seemed to be kinda offended, which honestly I’m not sure it’s her right to be. I didn’t ask her for any help, and I sure don’t need to be pitched on snake oil bullshit when I’m juggling thoughts of self-harm.
She hasn’t said anything to me since then, so I guess she took the hint.
The amount of people that are talking about religion and don't realize they are pitching you a religion is too damn high!
this is like the dreams i have whenever i need to pee
my body is like "absolutely no, you cannot, we are in bed" and my dreams are like "you really must, dang" and the end result is a series of dreams about terrible obstacles
There's no studies that say cutting out hearts with an obsidian knife and offering them to Huitzilopochtli doesn't result in marked improvements in patients suffering from clinical depression

It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

This is kind of beautiful. A male kestrel learning to take care of his chicks after the mother went missing:
Yeah. That is kind of the successor to Myst. It wasn't as popular, though.
Really, I have not finished a Myst game. I almost finished Real Myst. I wonder if gog has my save. I was on the last extra book of it.
What's that Playstation game everyone hated where you calmly swim around and take photos of fish and fight off falling asleep? Not Abzu, the other one.
my brother is the king of unsolicited advice. it comes from a good place because he cares about other people's wellbeing and hates to see other people in distress or discomfort, but he often goes overboard and starts giving too much advice on stuff he doesn't know much about
so I just started politely telling him 'thanks but I don't need advice about this problem, I'm just letting you know about it' and it works well

a really good way of delivering this message to him is to start with a positive and then utilize “we” a lot so he doesn’t feel like you’re singling him out also

In general excercise is good for mental health. and Yoga is tougher exercise than it looks like.
also exercise releases endorphins which can almost be like a personal high, it's a nice feeling to have after working out, but you get that from any exercise, you don't have to specifically do yoga

Have you tried to live human sacrifice about it

have you considered not taking pictures with your potato?

I actually have my wife’s old dslr
I just never take it anywhere because then I’d have to carry it and photography is a second order consideration for me at best.
Also it’s not waterproof so I would not expect it to live very long

Yoga isn't in and of itself snake oil but attributing unproven benefits to it is
It's helpful in the same way any physical activity can be helpful
There's nothing magically unique about fancy stretching and breathing exercises
