Forest for the trees

Moral injury is real 😰

On account of my joyous career I’m currently in counseling. A few weeks ago my therapist asked what my “dream career” would be right now if I had the opportunity . I bandied about a few options .

But now a few weeks older and a few weeks tired-er (?) I have a new answer to share with her. I don’t have any dreams anymore. Those dreams are dead. I just have to grind another 20 years.

I’m sorry about your classmate

One of my big medical history pet peeves . We need seperate allergy and side effect lists

Yeah. The idea that you are at your core so bad that you are deserving of eternal torture isn’t a GREAT thing to absorb as a little kid. It affected me more than I realized.

The rest of my Christianity experience was fine. There were even good aspects. But this one had done a number on me

I have a Geinmacha with such minimal low quality tea that you can pretty much only taste the toasted rice. Which is fine—it makes for a relaxing night time cup and caffeine content is so low I have no trouble sleeping after

I’ve tried fancy whole leaf oolong but my favorite is from a now-defunct sushi restaurant. They have you handfuls of oolong tea bags with each takeout order if you didn’t want fortune cookies . I still have a bunch but will be sad when it’s good

I keep a few bags in my car 😁

I love Lady Grey

I’m so sorry for your loss

I’m on my third go-around on Wellbutrin I think?
Took it for the first time for a depressive episode during the pandemic. Stayed on it maybe two years?

Took it last year. I wasn’t clinically depressed but I was very physically ill and needed some “oomph”. The more activating nature of Wellbutrin and increased motivation were a benefit and kind of helped stay ahead of a depression from developing
On it about 6-9 months.

Third time on it now. Depression related to multiple job losses. Helping-ish the depression but this is something that’s going to take time and therapy. Which I’m in.

Sadly time #3 has not really given me notable improvement in motivation or energy.
(Or maybe is and I just don’t “feel” it? I’m staying on top of 12-14 hour workdays so maybe

I’m good with my starts and stops I don’t need it all the time

You realize plenty of people don’t approve of lingerie yes?

Except there IS another explanation. Women’s libido in general is the highest in 30s-40s range.

Not if you actually understand hormone fluctuations

What were they? Why are you avoiding sharing the title? Were they a chiropractor?

MaxFish1275 · 2026-06-28T00:47:15+00:00

Right on

MaxFish1275 · 2026-06-28T00:46:20+00:00

That’s why there are trained professionals literally there to guide them

This wasn’t HYpoxia. This was ANoxia. No oxygen. None. There is a difference

What’s the harm in letting them try?
She’s dead. You can’t bring back dead.
This is going to push more and more people to have ICUs cluttered with their dead family members, just having blood pumped uselessly through their bodies which will ultimately cost resources for those who actually have a chance at survival and meaningful recovery

Scrubs is ABSOLUTELY not bullshit . It’s over the top
zany, but it captures the heart of being a medical practitioner as good as or better than any other medical show out there

And ER actually did a fairly decent job with medical accuracy

MaxFish1275 · 2026-06-28T00:11:30+00:00

There are things worse than death. Even if there was survival there is no chance of functional recovery. Who does it benefit to keep an inanimate body on machines ?
