I know exactly how you feel and have been there. It's important to adjust your thinking from "I need to break out of it and I keep failing" to celebrating the individual moments you succeed. One day at a time, as it were. Don

Marriage is spending your life with someone else. Life has it's good and bad, just like marriage. You can decide for yourself what you are willing to do deal with and what you aren't, but "marriage" isn't the issue.

This is the best comment in the thread. So many people are in love with "the person when they aren't depressed." But that isn't the whole person. Depression is not something "happening" to a person, it is part

The books (especially the early ones) are really an anthology of stories about the collapse of the galactic empire and its recovery than a specific story. It is completely different from the show. Think more "I, Robot" (again, the

It's an amazing feat, but man was it terrible. I just set it up recently on my C64 (with 2MB additional RAM, sd2iec drives, etc) and it was a huge pain and still barely usable. I lived through that era, so it's not just my inflate

I used to feel this way. Then I unfollowed all political/current events/venting Twitter and started following creators and retrocomputing types. It's very enjoyable now.

I had the same problem with Venlafaxine (Effexor XR). My psychiatrist had me switch to Duloxetine (Cymbalta) and my problems went away (but it worked as well as Venlafaxine for GAD and depression). FWIW I'm in my mid-40's but I ha

No. People (like myself) are ultimately using it for a distraction from something more important or a dopamine rush when someone "likes" something you post. You're better off.

Agreed, but ability to adapt to exercise is also very personal. I have a natural endurance for things like running, but other people don't (just like some people can gain muscle mass just by looking at a barbell, while others -- like

I have no idea, but I doubt it. I ate the same way for years, but as I got older I started gaining weight, when I didn't before. The weight gain preceded the calorie reduction.

I suppose that is a very personal thing as well. As someone that was in cross country and hated it, I'm not a fan of cardio (but I still find ways to incorporate it). Conversely, I love lifting and look forward to it.

Anyone who has spent any time trying to get into shape (losing weight, lifting weights, doing cardio) knows that you will be bombarded by conflicting and downright dangerous information. Few industries are as loaded with misguided informati
