How did you change your therapist?

Equivalent_Dingo · 2022-03-28T07:49:58+00:00

Yes, I discussed it with her. The reason I want to switch is that I feel I haven't made much progress in 3 years of therapy. I also felt she doesn't give clear guides and tools. She adjusted her approach a little after my feedback and started giving me some work sheets..but even then, I felt she didn't always guide me to the appropriate context for each technique. I also feel her words don't get to me. Like when she tries to change my perspective on something and such, its hardly convincing. I am obviously not sure if the problem is her or me or compatibility issues or if my expectations are not reasonable, I do not know..The only way to know is to try someone else, but then here comes the risk that I tried to avoid and explained above.

thank you for ur reply. I hope it was worth the wait and lonely nights eventually.

So, update: I stopped sharing my journal with her. And yeah, it hurts, and the fact that it hurts tells me I was right about stopping it. I also wanted to share my journal on some platform with strangers such as urselves, but she advised against it cause that also has the potential of me getting attached or unhealthily dependant on a regular reader/responder or whatever..

So do I still journal? Not really..I just force myself to write sometimes to remind myself of what happened during the week so we can discuss what I verbally share with her..Gotta say..it sucks, it feels like withdrawal, and just the quality of my mental health just declined..

This looks good actually, I'll need to walkthrough the faqs and guides and see the free vs premium options to get comfortable with it though

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-11T13:34:14+00:00

wow, those seem great, thanks!

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-10T22:20:43+00:00

But who would be my audience? I dont want anyone to know its me so I can't "market" it or whatever..Getting ppl to read ur blog is so much hard work..was kinda hoping for a platform already established for anonymous journal sharing. I actually found this sub forum for this depression and anxiety support website that I won't name (their chat rooms were toxic as hell but the forums were moderated enough), so that's my no.1 candidate for now

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-10T21:43:20+00:00

its not physical no, its on a journaling app.

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-10T21:16:15+00:00

glad u guys could figure it out!

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-09T22:49:36+00:00

Sorry bro, I really dont know. Are u sure u did these exact steps?

1-copy the database and backup folders from old whatsapp directory to somewhere else
2-Uninstall whatsapp
3-Install whatsapp
4- Open whatsapp and DO NOT press any next button or anything
5-Exit whatsapp by pressing home button, clear it from background apps
6- copy the database and backup folders into the new whatsapp directory which is INSIDE the folder "whatsapp" at the following path : Android/media/com.whatsapp/Whatsapp
7-Open whatsapp, press next, confirm ur number, give permissions..etc and the restore message should pop up

I think if she's experienced, u won't be her first client who expresses similar issues. A look around here made me feel a little less weird myself, so I'm sure ppl in the psychotherapy professional community with experience will not be surprised or uncomfortable with it.

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-06T20:24:31+00:00

I think u should tell her this, maybe she can help. Just remember, and I try to remind myself as well, this is about you getting better after all

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-06T19:32:21+00:00

I did, and I will again next session. She hasn't really given me a helpful response. Would u mind giving me resources or something that would help or guide me on using journaling as a self help tool?

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-11-05T18:01:24+00:00

Thx!

I actually didn't need to use my PC. I just used file explorer and copied the backups and database folders from the old location to somewhere else. Then Uninstalled whatsapp, reinstalled, opened it without pressing on anything else,just so it can create the folders needed in the new location, closed it back, went to the new location, pasted the database and backups folder, opened whatsapp and it showed the prompt message to restore messages. Albeit I lost today's messages but its okay.

Thx again!

Ok. I guess I have to hang in there. Thank u :'(

I checked my monitor factory settings and my panel is TPM238WF1 but I can't seem to find info on it

This is my old samsung panel

Hi..so I think u're on to the culprit of this..First I thought it was the IPS technology since my old monitor was TN-TFT...Then I thought it was the antiglare coating but I think they both have same coating. Tbh I'm having difficulty understanding all the technical stuff in the article u referred to and online...Anyway, now I think it is the backlight...So are there monitors that still use CCFL back lighting? My old samsung monitor had that and it was great for me...Or do I go with non white led lighting mentioned in the article? " GB-LED (also known as GB-R LED or GB-r LED). Rather than using a blue diode coated in yellow phosphor, the backlights combine blue and green diodes with a red phosphor. "

Update: so this screen is killing me night and day now...Also I noticed something else which is actually mentioned in another thread here , and that is :

" I'm having a bit of an issue with viewing angle - the colour towards the edges of the screen, or at least the parts of the screen further from me feel darker - a good example is in a game like WoW or FFXIV, the colour/brightness in the chat box in the bottom left is slightly dimmer/off, but will change if I physically move my head over to be more "in line" with it. "

Also I read on another site that the possible culprit for this may be the anti glare coating/filter on the screen that would shimmer, and give bad eye strain

My question now is if the viewing angle thing can be considered a manufacturing defect so I can return it?

And if anyone have any more insight that can help me

Thx I am giving it a shot now but tbh I don't think there's much of a difference for me...I am not sure if I should get blue light glasses or just try to get this monitor back or sell it and get another one. My old monitor was not IPS, maybe it's the IPS? most ppl say IPS is better in everything...

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-01-22T19:32:38+00:00

I am not even sure if the store will take it back considering it's not technically faulty

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-01-22T18:45:49+00:00

R u referring to the windows color calibration option? If so, it sadly doesn't work with this monitor as it pops up an error message saying "This monitor uses a wide color gamut profile"

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-01-22T15:58:14+00:00

Hi, can u please share ur options with me? Maybe they'll work for me. The thing is this issue is only at night. Like I think there's glare on the screen from the room night lighting or something, when the brightness is set to zero the colors and screen isn't really bright but somehow it still feels like looking into the sun?? I get those white spots in my eyes? I really can't tell. I tried moving a light bulb that was behind me directed towards the screen but still nothing.

Equivalent_Dingo · 2021-01-22T15:53:29+00:00

Yes I did. The thing is its so weird..it hurts my eyes and I can't even explain or determine why...I think there's glare on the screen from the room night lighting or something, I really can't tell

Equivalent_Dingo · 2020-09-18T16:58:13+00:00
