Q: My life is falling apart on all fronts and I'm struggling with physical and mental health issues; what should I do?
A: Read this book.
Only on HN...
- whitepoplar 4y agoI admit it sounds crazy, but it works. I was extremely skeptical too.
- m00x 4y agoIt really doesn't work for everyone. OP needs to see a doctor first instead of trying to use a placebo.
- tomtheelder 4y agoI'm incredibly confident that OP has already seen a doctor.
- dennis_jeeves1 4y agoWell put. The sheer number of well-intentioned people who tell you the obvious thing to try out is annoying.
- agumonkey 4y agoHN bashing can only go so far, every where people have the same prototypes of answers, HN, reddit, boards, public transportation :)
- Agingcoder 4y agoI didn't read it as bashing, but as a joke
- agumonkey 4y agoMaybe I was lacking some humor that day
- ratg13 4y agoBashing people trying to help is usually a reddit thing, but here we are. This website is a text based medium. Literally the only thing that can conveyed here is information. Books, as you are aware, can contain even more information and advice than this website. If the person was looking for something other than information and advice, they would be looking elsewhere.
- jraph 4y agoI have an intuition that there's a reasoning problem in this comment but I can't point out what exactly this time. Verbal clues and facial expressions are also pieces of information, so the fact that HN is a text-based medium does not set it apart from other communication mediums only because it conveys information. People going to HN to ask for help probably do this because they are familiar with this community, not necessarily because it is text-based and probably haven't rationalized this aspect that much. Anyway, good luck to OP. I don't have any insight on this matter.
