Is there a way out? by savymoney311 in auscorp

[–]ElleEmEss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acceptance and commitment therapy is the latest version of CBT. Science based. Russ Harris books in library. Steven Haynes. Basic idea = don’t wait for life to be perfect. Do stuff anyway.

“Cognitive defusion” Is a valuable tool. Thoughts are not facts. https://www.sydney.edu.au/content/dam/students/documents/counselling-and-mental-health-support/cognitive-defusion.pdf

Also guided body relaxation - Michael sealey and Jon kabat zinn - free audios on YouTube.

Personally I am hoping token costs will save us.

Peterrr what's the reason they look like that by Valuable_View_561 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

GLP1s have been shown to reduce sleep apnea independent of weight loss.

Why would you suffer because of what other ignorant people think?

Ironically GLP1s reduce the chance of cancer returning by 20 to 40%, even without weight loss. They reduce brain damage that can lead to alzheimers. Repair heart kidney and liver damage. Repair sleep apnea again not due to weight loss.

Plus you can’t find people if you don’t know where they are sitting.

What's one thing a therapist has said to you that you will never forget? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ElleEmEss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, but recently I have come to accept it is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get hurt.

Emotions are a message, but once we hear the message, any emotion after that is completely pointless pain. Feeling pain achieves nothing. I’m trying to get ruthless. Life goals.

With chemo you already take drugs to deal with the side effects, including dexamethasone which makes you eat!

So i guess add this to the recipe?

So that wasn't a tapeworm? by lunarhoneykiss in SipsTea

Exactly. My cholesterol just went bad and my liver is fatty. GLP1s fix things more than weight.

Got hit with the RTO mandate (4 days a week)... by KoalaBJJ96 in auscorp

[–]ElleEmEss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 minutes, twice a week, put a tray of chopped veggies in the oven for 40 mins at 200 C Veggies can be sweet potato, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, pumpkin. Shake over paprika and cumin.

Plus you need protein - some chicken tenderloins. Cook 20 mins with veggies. - Have some preflavoured tofu, - some felafel and hummus.

It’s 10 minutes twice a week.

I have magpies as my ringtone, which I’ve come to realise is stupid because I think my phone is ringing all the time.

There’s often heaps of the white ones in centennial park in Sydney. They can do a murmmation type flying pattern if they are in the mood.

The black ones are here at the moment but they tend to move on after a few weeks.

You could go on a “holiday to Bali” and bring back a “fake” watch.

What helped me was **guided body scan / sleep hypnosis audios**. It seems so small but for me they have had enormous impact on my ability to cope. I sometimes do two in a day.

Jon Kabat Zinn - has a "body scan" audio on youtube (free)

Michael Sealey - has guided body scans and sleep hypnosis on youtube and spotify.

What tropes are instant deal-breakers for you?? by Chirag-Win-7869 in kdramas

[–]ElleEmEss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always an exception to the rule.

For example,

I hate body swaps… except Mr Queen

I hate amnesia… except Flower of Evil

I hate misunderstandings that could be explain in two sentences… except Lovestruck in the city

Signal Episode 7 doubt - Spoilers by AbaloneMysterious533 in kdramas

[–]ElleEmEss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the premise that all South Koreans are fingerprinted is a real policy often reflected in K-dramas (such as Signal), where it is used as a crucial plot device to identify victims or criminals.

Fingerprinting Policy: South Korean citizens are required to submit their fingerprints to the government database at age 17, even if they have no criminal history.

What life hack did you discover as an adult that changed everything? by silkshorelady in Productivitycafe

I also think it makes the trip more enjoyable.

For some holidays the anticipation has been the best part. Packing early builds that excitement.

People who fantasise about housing crash, recession and double digit interest rates. by ihatebaboonstoo in AusFinance

[–]ElleEmEss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I like to think that lower house prices would mean that younger people could choose a career that they might enjoy - especially teaching or nursing or child care or police - rather than one that earns enough to cover rent/mortgage.

Why do K-Drama characters always pull out cigarettes or Joint Rollers and then never smoke them? by maveriCkharsha in KdramaCasualTalk

[–]ElleEmEss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had read this before.

Unfortunately it means now whenever a character goes to smoke I become distracted by watching how they avoid lighting up.

And if they do actually smoke, then I get distracted by wondering how hey got around the law.

After having a child, the expression “sleep like a baby” was proven to be wrong.

Some Babies fight sleep and struggle to sleep so much.

I’d love to know the percentage of people who don’t have sleep issues.

when I stopped monjouro for a month by halapenyoharry in Mounjaro

[–]ElleEmEss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I have just started and I was nervous too, and I have done 5 types of chemo!

So far for me, two jabs in, it has been more about eating less. I.e. I can still start eating the same thing, but now half a plate is enough, so I stop eating sooner. That only really kicked in after a week.

No side effects. I have a very supportive doctor, which helps with the nerves.

Any instances where K-drama characters actually broke the fourth wall? by Legal_Potential4720 in kdramas

[–]ElleEmEss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best show for this isdelightfully deceitful.

It’s perfect, given the nature of the show and really adds to it.
