Would you say that you had bad habits with the social media that you had to break kind of like a mild "addiction"? A lot of people with anhedonia have had wires crossed due to things like this. In my case it wasn't PAWS or an

Absolutely. When I say treatment resistant I have done everything out there and then some.

I'm a little confused about the author's form of depression. He seemed to be able to still experience positive emotions and feelings. I don't mean to dismiss or invalidate his experience but I think depressive periods brought

I'm neurodiverent too so I feel you! People are really rough on those with ADHD and making steps forward with all that trauma from "failing" or whatever from childhood is a real thing. You're exactly on point with the se

I don't really understand the reasons for using PHP outside of that people are already familiar with it and like working with it or want to find jobs in that area. If someone is new to software development and in an area of the world w

I'm glad it helped, but I'm curious how many years out you are? CBT doesn't show efficacy in meta analyses in the long term say 2 years out or so. I'm glad that you were able to get good treatment - I think also the clin

I mean, yes, but also any therapeutic modality that works with these populations is tapping into some consistent realities about human nature that can be applied generally. The reality CBT is tapping into is that gaslighting someone into to

I've noticed in general that a good place to look is in the therapies that are used in treating personality disorders, people with eating disorders, C-PTSD, PTSD, and trauma. Right now that's DBT for emotional regulation, but for

CBT is freaking awful. The reason it took off is that a lot of studies showed a very strong effect pretty early on. But none of the meta analysis show efficacy in CBT long term, and even worse, many CBT practitioners are unskilled and not e

There are few positive benefits currently to reporting things like sexism in the workplace, sexual harassment, even rape. It sucks that it's like that but that's the reality right now. The reality is that they probably won't

by cupcake-unicorn 5y ago
Most cases of sexism aren't "clear cut". If you're the only woman in the office, it can be hard to figure out what's going on. Believe me that you try to explain certain things away and don't want to go to sexi

I think most workplaces would benefit better from having junior devs pair with other devs and cultivating this kind of thing but my experience was that most startups were very frustrated with junior/midlevel devs and just wanted to fil

As a young female software developer, I was told to ask less questions. This led to situations where I'd be stuck hours on end due to things like backend/config changes that no one told me about and I wouldn't have known. S

There is a form of therapy you can do by yourself called Internal Family Systems therapy. There are many books about doing self therapy but the one I was suggested was Self-Therapy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Wholeness and Healing You

Holy crap, I played this at my friend's house as a child. My main memory of that game is how horrible the English voice actor was when trying to sing and I vaguely remember the ball dynamic and having issues with it being buggier in th

The point of the article is that their tech stack is embarrassingly out of date. A major institution shouldn't rely on ridiculous legacy tech from the 90s. If, for example, a bank is running on a PDP-8 I don't care if it costs mil

Good on this consumer for dragging the bank through this. I'm sure the consumer probably got crap from friends/family about why they were doing this but this is sheer laziness on behalf of the bank and they deserve to be dragged t

The rating scale should be quantified in that case. But yeah, I always felt that way too. Pretty landscapes and stuff end up going mainstream but I've always felt "true" art in any medium has to have something slightly jarrin

Whole Genome sequencing is very inexpensive now. It's like 300 dollars for consumers, I got mine sequenced at Nebula.org. As someone with an undiagnosed chronic illness it's crazy to me how this isn't being used more, and how

Hah, same, I think I had built up all this stuff around Linux and assuming that I'd have to tinker and in the past 5 years or so when things "just work" it took the fun out of it in a way, haha. That being said I get more sle

Oh yeah, the short story was not good in that regard at all. The game was such an upgrade to the story.
