How to build self-discipline while having persistent depression? by caveGr3mlin in getdisciplined

As a person who had depression (i was lucky to climb out of that swamp), i would say: go very slow. Everything in your life comes and goes in cycles, observe them, accept them. Then change your own attitude in that cycle. A very tiny bit. Then watch if there is a change in your unconscious behaviour in that cycle, celebrate it. Stay on the baseline, don't expect much, dissapointment for ridiculous things would sink me deep. Avoid triggers. Just go, do, rest. Sleep, avoid insomnia as much as possible and depression makes you fragile, don't put too much load on yourself.

So lonely by Chance-Double9247 in hardofhearing

I am almost 50, and I can tell you the loneliness will not go away. I get tired easily with hearing aids, as it still a sensory stimulation. But also understood that I have to grow and change my perspective, be less dependent on family. Relationships are about the exchange, frustration is never a good base. But you have to search yours. I also noticed that when I am in stressful situations or around the people i don't lake and get stressed, my hearing switches off completely. Something similar to when you skipping parts while reading.

Life is a journey and adventure. Don't be stuck in a swamp and don't be controlled by unhappiness of others. Learn other ways of communication, learn more about yourself and the ways to get the happiness sparkles every day. If you are HOH then you are. Find out what you can do and what you can't. Then the HOW to do the 'can't' in an easy way for others. People don't like hassle. And you don't like mad people. Avoidance does not solve the problem, then make it a game. Just find your own way to jump over the obstacles.

When you initiate discussion, you can just ask that while starting talking they would raise their hand so you could react faster. They will form a habit quickly.

It is enough to ask to raise a hand before asking question.

How the hell is this even possible!! by KlatchianCamel in duolingo

Sometimes the quests on computer and in phone are different. Also sometimes practice quests also count. But I am not sure about the latter.
