I remember our brother @joe40001 did the same thing and got tore to shreds.

These people don't think long term at all.

What do you mean tore to shreds?

He was criticized heavily for his water fast which led to him melting down over the span of a hundred posts.

You people are completely unaware that this is only a temporary solution (not even a healthy one) so every ounce of criticism you get is highly justified.

Yeah, I'd more say I responded to all the people which is why the topic got so big.

Same kind of people came out here. People who's advice to lose fat involves lots of grains are probably not the best to listen to.

Water fasts particularly ones supplemented with vitamins and something like a bone chicken broth which keeps your protein up so you don't lose muscle are healthy and very effective for weight loss. As with anything it's probably good to keep supervised but my doctor was totally ok with me doing it. Then 100 people came out of the gfaqs woodwork to tell me how they know more than my doctor. The food pyramid they learned 20 years ago isn't thought to be as perfect anymore, particularly when it comes to weight loss but they would hear none of it, and so it got under my skin and I did take the time to respond to each of them.

As they are presented in the show: Erin.

Rashida Jones is objectively hotter physically but her personality is so nothing compared to Erin's sexy cluelessness.

Literally thinks batshit insane is more attractive than intelligence and maturity

Crazy doesn't make for a better wife, but 9 times out of 10 crazy is hotter.

Also Rashida isn't really that smart or mature, she's mostly just bland.

I can't tell if the title is saying they are more likely to die from food poisoning than be sexually assaulted or if it's saying the are more likely to die from food poisoning than die from being sexually assaulted. If it's the latter, then god i'd hope so.

I feel objectively speaking, while Black Panther definitely has a more important place in terms of social impact, I don't find it a better film than Infinity War.

Yeah, I think most level headed people see the praise BP got as more of a consequence of it's cultural significance than it's quality, not to say it's a bad movie, just not particularly amazing when you remove the cultural significance.

I don't think this category comes into effect for a couple years but if it did... it would be infinity war unless we are just trying to make a statement in which case black panther even though it's lame.

...whatever makes everything lame now, in a way that wasn't there before. whatever that is, really sucks.

I loved caring about things and feeling intensely, when I'm on anti-depressants sometimes it comes back, so I'm hoping it's a depression issue and not an age issue, because then I have hope that one day it can be good again.

Doing drugs will do that to you. I used to take copious amounts of opiates till I realized I wasn't doinking chicks like I used to and pretty much nothing sounded fun, unless I got high first. So I said F that and now I'm back to full power.

I don't do drugs.

I sometimes have alcohol but not much.

I really miss it. Also emotions are mostly gone, I think I'm severely depressed even though with therapy I've been doing a bit better.

idk wtf is up but having a libido and excitement are awesome, so if you experience either of these emotions do treasure it please

an incel is a virgin that attempts to but can't get laid

nothing more, nothing less

I don't think you necessarily need to "attempt", rather just that you want to have had sex but are unable to.

I know what happened in the past hurts, but it's not over

Thanks to you both.

I think I just have some really bad beliefs that warp my outlook, but they are wrong, so hopefully with therapy I can shake them soon and get better.

Particularly when parts of the depression come from what I find to be true in my outlook.

Without knowing the details of your therapy, a more structured approach like cognitive behavioral therapy aims to correct these automatic negative thought patterns.

Your world outlook is most certainly a colored lens you view the world through and it's not the only one. It's a useless platitude to simply tell you this and that's why an intervention like CBT is better equipped to address it.

Also, medication can also help. Neural patterns are not very flexible, to put it simply. We are our habits, and that includes our thought habits. Medication can help create a more "chemically suited" environment to "carve out" a better neural network that is a bit more resilient against negative emotions and experiences. It's why therapy + medication in combination leads to better outcomes than either medicine or therapy alone. I'm sure a neuroscientist might find issues with that explanation, but it's the best way I can explain it to a layperson.

I totally agree. What is weird for me then is just how people react like I should be better by now after years of therapy including cbt. I think I probably should probably be better too, so I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong. Be patient when it comes to change doesn't seem to be working so I feel like I need to do something different, but I don't know what.

I'm a LUEser lmfroa

I remembered that much, but I wished I remembered more specifics. I'm sure, like with most LUEsers, we've had many many conversations so I wish I had a more clear memory of what our interactions have been.

I know who I really am, but I fear it is too late to actually be that person. I really don't want it to be though.

let go of all your preconceive notions of how things should be and what should be

It's hard, because it feels like that cements my fate of hopelessness.

I know. it's scary, but what you've built yourself up to be isn't who you really are

What do you mean by this?

But I've been seeing therapists for years. What do people think should happen when depressed people start therapy? They get mostly better in 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?

I really want to be done being depressed but I'm not sure how to actually change that. Particularly when parts of the depression come from what I find to be true in my outlook.

I'm glad for the amount of positivity in this topic, but I do fall more into the sentiments that @Ultima_Dragon says. Which is a bummer, because that "life is for the young" thing I think is intellectually dumb but emotionally I buy into it hard.

Which really sucks because I'd like to live now.
