Has anyone here ever had CBT therapy?
Trying to figure out if I'd be worth it for me. I've tried some free NHS therapy things but they didn't work.
Thank you.
Specifically to combat childhood trauma, depression, anxiety.
I'm usually okay, but I'm walking on eggshells.

I need to stop working on multiple projects at once
I get distracted... but I work well with fresh ideas AND I have lots of ideas. A blessing and a curse.

I didn't realise how much I depend on my iron fish until I stopped using it...

Gosh. I'm seeing stars...
The problem is, I'm constantly anemic and doctors just fix the symptoms (for 2 weeks at a time) not the underlying problem...

The problem with social media is that we're all just words on a screen.
It's a lot more tempting to anger someone when there's no risk of being punched.
People aren't concerned about others anymore.
They just concerned about being 'RIGHT'.

A genuine conversation I had:
"I only made £50 a month from that thing you suggested. It's a scam."
The same person 6 months later:
"Hey, how did you afford to go on holiday?"
"With that £50 thing you said was a scam over the course of several months."
"Still sounds like a scam to me lol."
"I only made £50 a month from that thing you suggested. It's a scam."
The same person 6 months later:

"With that £50 thing you said was a scam over the course of several months."
"Still sounds like a scam to me lol."
I find it insane how many people ask me for advice on something, then when I give the advice and tell them how I did it, they call bluff...
Why bother asking?

Good job France.
Supermarkets donate to Olio here in the UK but unfortunately just a few (as it's not law).
Hopefully it will be law one day.
Food dates are just guesses and/or when the food is at it's best - Best Before. So many things can be frozen or eaten within the next few days.

Does anyone else think that people are losing the ability to think for ourselves? And also just our common sense?

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.
