   Thank you so much, very thoughtful response! I like your observation on the pile of broken glass. I enjoy describing things poetically / with mental pictures / with analogies. I've never thought about it really, though. My ch

   Yep, had a 8 month girlfriend before (first love) but this one was the first significant and really deep relationship. I have reached out a lot to near and distant friends/colleagues and family. It has helped and at least one new deep

   Thank you! I'm trying all those things and got into a daily morning walk routine and am going to the gym every single day for the foreseeable future. I also found a Surf & Yoga week in Portugal I might do.

   I appreciate your advice. My baseline diet is fairly healthy, though.

   I am indeed prone to wallowing, so thanks for that advice. Funny that you mention it. Since the breakup I have started every single day with a ~1h walk in the next park, no matter the weather. I intend to keep that routine and at the moment

   Yes it makes me a bit more pessimistic about the PhD, because I was struggling with the PhD already before the breakup. My relationship was a big support and comfort that helped me grind through especially the past few months of the PhD. Bu

   Thanks for the reply. Which practices did you try and/or which one helped you the most? In what ways are you doing better compared to before? What makes you confident that you can attribute the improvements to meditation?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes it is still fresh, I also still love her and find it very hard to accept this new reality. I've talked a lot to friends and family the past 2 weeks so that helped. I know all I can do is let time do its thing

    I have been with her now 4x. I have talked about my upbringing and that that is the motivation why I came to see her. Then the breakup happened, so the last two times we talked about that. Apparently she is specialised for adult children of

    Would you mind giving a high-level summary of the physiology of mental health (like one paragraph or two, however much you like)? Just the main things that are currently known/believed.

    A question to the community: I find it a bit weird how as an undergraduate you have no idea what a PhD is like. At the same time, no-one really tells you. Everyone just says "research is quite different to doing an undergrad degree&quo

    Hi mate, just mentioning that I'm having similar experiences with dreading supervisor meetings, not making progress for long periods of time, getting frustrated, questioning myself and my career choices, feeling my research is not good

    You can think of scenarios in which any classical state (i.e. the shared state is completely specified by the local states of the two kids) does the task with some success probability that is upper bounded, say by 75%. And you can even incl
