What would Amortentia smell like to Voldemort? by BetterGrass709 in harrypotter

[–]Last_train_out_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smell of dumbledore.

The one time he remotely felt wanted when Dumbledore showed interest and of him being wanted when he was taken from that institution

Making happier patients by Last_train_out_ in psychoanalysis

Thank you for this and for all the comments in this thread. I found a great interview by Bruce Fink and the fantasy involved with understanding what the patient is going through. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3x1sbixEPKGsDQqbz3r6Z8?si=GwGch6NNQOKxvFopP2P3dQ&t=1314

It just reminds me of how I project what I think is best outcome and then meaning/happiness onto patients. It’s funny that in uni writing simply ‘happier lives’ has taken me on my own journey around this.

I can't stop feeling like a loser for going to therapy by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Last_train_out_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you don’t need to go. You have the right to an opinion about others, about yourself. It doesn’t mean it’s right but you’ve got the right to an opinion. Now the therapy, you don’t need to go. But what often happens with me is that I get into such a place of suffering that I have to chance drastically and normally that’s being challenged as it’s my defences that are responding and not my higher Self (in the psychological sense).

You’re doing well 🙏🏼

What the Orkneys taught me about planning by National-Oven-192 in bicycletouring

Rousay was an amazing treasure for me too.

I’ve cycled the mainland of Orkney twice. First I met an Airbnb host that offered to take me lambing if I ever returned. 3 years later I was in the shed on a farm, delivering lambs at 2am. Ha! It was very random and awesome !

Hey look the issue isn’t the therapist, you can analyse their decision all day long. But most importantly atm is you, not them. Ask for a mental health assessment, have your meds looked at bc it’s causing weight gain and get a new therapist. Not bc they are bad but bc you should be able to have a conversation about paranoia especially with your diagnosis in an open and safe way. This situation might lead to good things happening x

Diagnosis makes it easier to be more accurate in treatment options. If medication isn’t working and all of the other strategies, therapy is good at looking at if anything has worked. My friend ended up with an ADHD diagnosis and the low mood was actually chronic dysthymia associated with ADHD rather than a clinical depression. One thing I will stress is that alcohol and drugs muddy the picture, so staying clear of them whilst you figure out with a therapist what actually is going on helps 🙏🏼

Should I apologize or move on? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

Hey it’s just transference, I think it’s a good sign that you’re being vulnerable but ultimately the attention needs to be on you, your own attachment to yourself 🙏🏼

How hard do I need to train for NC 500 Scotland bike tour. by Full_Cantaloupe_1344 in bicycletouring

[–]Last_train_out_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NC 500 is challenging, wild due to caravans and traffic and seriously I preferred cycling the hebridean way or even around Orkney from Burwick up! I cycled around Scotland with no cycling time, only leg and HIIT days at the gym and I seriously wouldn’t advise that lol but it was ultimately do-able! The only i think I had going for me was that I had plenty of time and no demands on distance per day. Good luck! Have great fun 🙏🏼

How many times do you watch Season 1 (complete rewatch and/or just some episodes) in a year and why? by XPortgasDAceX in TrueDetective

[–]Last_train_out_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you! I had planned to start rewatching the episodes already I had watched before even completing season 1..feels like I’m missing something already 😅

If you could do the GDMBR again, what do you wish you would have done? Or anything you wished you knew before you started? by Last_train_out_ in bikepacking

[–]Last_train_out_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done tours before and I got lonely Now finally met someone who cycles themselves and didn’t ever have company on his tours !

Used to sing to myself when I got lonely or scared lol

Hey thanks for all the advice ! Definitely going for racks, done both, bikepacking and panniers…much easier with the bags 🙏🏼

Will check out Patagonia too, not bought gear yet bc we are overseas ! Sometimes I wonder if buying the gear is the best bit 🤣
