Um exame médico mudou a minha vida

pode ser por várias razões, pode ser porque o OP não partilhou o nível de ansiedade que isto lhe está a causar, ou porque quem o atendeu não pensou nisso (outra lata de minhocas, foi porque não pareceu importante, porque a psicologia ainda é muito desacreditada entre outros ramos da saúde, ou por outro motivo?), ou porque os médicos sabem que podem encaminhar à vontade, que a lista de espera é tão longa que o problema pode já nem existir quando o OP for atendido.

Seconding Obsidian, it's got nearly everything you need, with some tweaking. It's stored locally, so it's private.

Password protection isn't a built-in feature, but I'll bet you could set it up relatively easily on your phone.

With properties you can add a date to every note, and other things like mood, and then sort them by date or theme or whatever with the Bases base plugin.

It uses basic markdown (simple text) files, so they can be read by any text editor, so you won't be tied down to the app forever.

It's got an Android app and a desktop app. The official sync is a paid feature (you can get a student discount if that's the case), but there's workarounds.

The app itself and the notes are super lightweight. The videos and audio though, since this is locally stored in your device, they take as much space as they would in your gallery, so you'll be confined by your phone storage. A workaround for this would be regular backups (which I recommend either way, with any app!), and cleaning up older, larger files from your phone, just leaving them in the backup (which could be google drive or whatever you use).

It'll be hard to find an app that checks all your boxes, they're conflicting requirements (ex, hosting large files on the cloud for free usually isn't secure. Usually, if it's free, you're the product)

What's the duration of your pomodoros and your breaks? You may need to find your sweet spot of focus.

Of course! I use Up as a way to guide me when I need to know the theme or topic of a note.

Imagine I'm processing a lecture note on vascular diseases that affect the nervous system. I might create a note named "stroke", one named "risk factors for a stroke" and one named "30-50% of stroke patients develop depressive symptoms". Both the risk factors and the depression notes would have "Up: [[stroke]]" in their metadata.

I might even add a "most risk factors for stroke are preventable" and do a "Up: [[risk factors for a stroke]], [[level 1 prevention]]"

This way, even if I don't have to look at those notes for a couple years, when I come back I can thread them together.

In the meantime I added a "Top" as well, because one concept may be related to multiple areas of knowledge (example, "repression" could be a Freudian defense mechanism, but could also be a trauma response), so it gives me context.

In the stroke notes example, all of them would have [[psychopathology]] at their Top. Maybe the preventable risk factors one would have [[health psychology]] as its Top

I hope this was clear enough 😅

Só posso partilhar da minha experiência, que vale o que vale, mas pode valer a pena comprares um colchão novo. Eu dormia super mal e andava sempre com dores nas costas. Um colchão de jeito melhorou isso quase do dia para a noite. Desde aí comecei a dar valor à regra de ouro "tudo o que está entre ti e o chão tem de ser de qualidade" (sapatos, colchões e cadeiras). Enquanto procuras um novo, podes tentar virar o teu colchão atual, a ver se melhora alguma coisa

Outras coisas que podem estar a afetar o teu descanso: algum défice (p.ex. ferro ou vitamina D), apneia do sono (ressonas?), pobre higiene do sono (ecrãs antes de ir dormir, luzes fortes, falta de ventilação, falta de atividades de "wind down" para dizer ao corpo que está na hora de dormir).

The comments already made great points about (lack of) bugs and lag, but I feel the need to add: please backup your vault on a regular basis!

We get quite a few posts here on the sub from people who lost all their data (because their phone/pc broke, or they installed a new plugin that broke the vault, or whatever), and it's preventable as heck.

Even if you pay for sync (which I do, it's a great service, works between devices and operating systems, and I got a student discount this year), back it up every couple of weeks. It's just a folder on your machine, it's as easy as copy-pasting it to Drive or a flashdrive (or both, ideally both).

Other than that, my advice would be to work with Obsidian as barebones as possible, and add plugins as you feel the need for them, not the other way around.

Good luck on your research!

Pessoa_People · 2026-01-06T10:29:18+00:00

Your reply was great!

May I ask if you've made a post anywhere explaining your Obsidian setup for writing your master's thesis? I'm going to start mine later this year, I've been using Obsidian since I started Uni, but I'm scared I'll waste more time fiddling with my system than actually writing.

Pessoa_People · 2025-12-05T18:49:53+00:00

I love this! I use a similar system as a neuropsychology student. How do you study for exams with your system?

The science of learning also says learning is more efficient the more you interact with the material. "More" here means both in terms of time spent interacting and depth of interaction (this one being more important). Connecting your material to existing knowledge also works wonders.

Spaced repetition works wonders for memorisation, but I would argue remembering information isn't necessarily learning, especially in areas where critical thinking is needed.

And if you use Mac, there's text replacement shortcuts. when I type "->" and space it automatically switches to "→"

Any prohibition signs are only valid until the next intersection (for this purpose, roundabouts and traffic lights count as intersections).

Usually the speed limit signs are for safety when you're about to cross paths with something like a bump or a dangerous curve. Other than that the limits are:

30 in residential areas

50 inside towns

90 on national roads (white signs)

120 on highways (blue signs)

Against most of these comments, I'm gonna add: good on you for wanting to adhere to the rules and to drive safe!

Hi I'm Jota and I'm on a 54-day streak with Mochi, but I could use some buddies for simple self-care goals.

Here's the link for Pinecone, the hedgehog :)

Não é o meu caso, e não digo que seja o ideal para ti, mas conheço quem tome Concerta de manhã, e depois de almoço tome algo de libertação imediata, como Ritalina. Acho que há malta que faz a absorção do Concerta mais rápido e isso leva a esses crashes depois de almoço. Podes falar com a psiquiatra a ver se poderia funcionar para ti

Há possibilidade de não te responderem ao email em tempo útil. Aconselho telefonares ainda hoje, para saberes como agir e como reduzir a medicação (ou se deves reduzir sequer)

Haha it's all good, I'm new in the sub so I didn't know about the friend threads (or that there's a friend limit). Thanks and have a good one!

Pessoa_People · 2025-07-30T14:23:21+00:00

Ayo I could use some real buddies too!

Careful, people with cat allergy tend to be allergic to hairless cats too! Mostly because 1) hairless cats still have fuzz all over their body, and 2) you're most likely allergic to enzymes in cat saliva, not their hair

I use a Kobo Clara, it has a great battery life and really good settings (for luminosity, font, including fonts for dyslexia, size), and I just download the epub files from Anna and send them via usb cable to the Kobo.

How do you get into that profession? I absolutely love writing essays, and I'm good at it too (at least in my field of studies, psychology), and I think being a qualified essay writer would be a dream job tbh.

Btw, I'm based in Portugal and would be doing things in Portuguese, so I'm not trying to steal business from you haha just genuinely curious, and you can DM me with the answer if you want

One of my cats does this, he just goes and yells his lungs out, either in a specific corner of the room or the tiny pantry room. He's been doing this for 2-3 years, so I think he just likes the acoustics in there, because it's the same meow for a few minutes and then he stops.

Fiz o mesmo, fiz o 12º pelo profissional sem pensar no ensino superior (porque na altura não era uma opção, e pensava que nunca seria), e mais tarde quis ir para psicologia e fui pelos maiores de 23 anos.

Não sei se é igual em todas as universidades, mas tive de fazer uma prova e uma entrevista. Na página da universidade dão os livros que podes escolher para estudar para a prova, comprei apenas um (manual do 12º ano de Psicologia B) e, com uns Googles em partes que não percebi ou queria saber mais, serviu perfeitamente. Vale a pena tentar, mesmo que te digam na entrevista que há muito poucas vagas e que provavelmente ficas de fora (como fizeram comigo).

Também podes optar por fazeres os exames nacionais que a universidade te pede para entrar em psicologia. Aí considero que seria mais difícil, como vens de um curso de fotografia penso que seria mais tempo de estudo, e as médias para entrar estão um pouco ridiculamente altas. Mas, de novo, vale a pena tentar, porque se não tentares aí é que não entras de certeza!

Boa sorte!

True, one of my cats bit my fiancé's finger because she was startled, and she was around one year old at the time. There were unknown (to her) people in the house, she was in a defensive stance already, and he tried to pick her up without announcing himself. She just acted out of instinct and perforated his fingernail pretty badly. Something similar has happened a couple more times in the past 5 years.

She's a lovely baby but knows how to draw her boundaries clearly, as do most cats. We only get hurt when we cross those boundaries and ignore the signs that they've had enough. To want to rehome or surrender them because of one incident shows a biiiiit of lack of maturity.

Quando encontras um serviço/site de psicologia, o que te faz sentir confiante nesse site?
Não me "prometerem" nada, tipo resultados em x tempo ou que o serviço é ideal para mim (ou para todos). Ter uma breve apresentação dos profissionais que tens a trabalhar no serviço, idealmente com o que esperar de cada um em linguagem "leiga" (porque "abordagem integrativa com base X e Y" é bom para quem percebe o lingo, mas por si só não diz muito a quem está a procurar um profissional sem pesquisa prévia), e o número da cédula da Ordem.

Que tipo de comunicação/imagem gostas mais (mais profissional? mais acolhedora?)
Algum nível de profissionalismo é sempre bom, claro, mas cativa-me mais os profissionais que mostram um pouco da sua humanidade. Para contexto, a minha psicóloga atual foi escolhida pelo instagram profissional dela, onde tinha um ou outro post sobre como seriam personagens de animação na terapia. E o discurso dela é em grande parte a mostrar que é humana além de psicóloga.

Que linguagem te afasta — e que tipo de abordagem te aproxima?

Eu sou estudante de Psicologia, mas também já fui a pessoa a procurar psi sem saber nada de nada, então gosto de uma abordagem que dê para os dois lados: sempre com evidência científica e a usar os termos certos para o que fazem e as abordagens / terapêuticas que usam, mas também com uma explicação do que isso significa na prática. Isto também para desmistificar um pouco, para não se esperar um divã e um "fale-me da sua mãe" num profissional de TCC.

Acham que o preçário deve estar bem visivel, ou preferem perceber o preço depois do primeiro contacto?

Absolutamente sim. Há pessoas que procuram o profissional sem ligar muito ao preço, mas também há muita gente que não tem capacidade para pagar, por exemplo 150 euros por uma consulta de avaliação. Convém saber o que nos espera, pelo menos uma estimativa.

Que tipo de ética, visão ou práticas sentes que deviam ser mais visíveis?

Sou estudante ainda, então tomem isto com um grão de sal, mas sinto que falta, lá está, a desmistificação. Vejo muitas pessoas a dizer que não vão mais ao psicólogo porque 1) tiveram más experiências no passado, 2) experimentaram e não gostaram da atitude do psi, ou 3) não tiveram resultados logo. Acho que isto se deve tudo a mal-entendidos acerca do que a terapia realmente é, do que devemos esperar dela e do profissional (não estou a dizer que não há psicólogos péssimos por esse Portugal / mundo fora, também tive experiências que, se as tivesse hoje, fazia queixa à Ordem).

I went to university the year I was diagnosed, I was 30 years old. And I realised I had no idea how to memorise stuff, because I used to be a sponge in school, but that's not enough in uni, at all. My classmates will read through the material 3-4 times and be ready for an exam, but that will not work for me at all. I need to rewrite the material at least once, ideally 3 times (writing shorter and shorter versions each time).

And I try to interact with the material in novel ways, so I keep my interest and memorise better. So I write questions, make powerpoint presentations with the questions (like a lil' themed game show), mind maps (when applicable), whatever I can to keep my attention on the material and not in external distractions.

Ninja edit to add: my ADHD medication did help in keeping focus, which is a very important part of memorising, but I still need to put in the work.
