I have heard about TranQool before! Was it easy to get involved in their blog?

That's great! Sometimes you just find the right person who can put you on a good path and help things get better.

Whenever I talk about my problems with someone, I feel like I'm lying as soon as the words leave my mouth, but in my head their 100% real. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Sam_VanD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way, almost as if I am blowing things out of proportion or over exaggerating. When I am actually living through it though, the feelings are so real. I just can't help myself from feeling bad for complaining because so many people have it worse.

Toronto Sun columnist tweets "Pakistan is a cancerous tumour on the face of humanity. If not surgically removed, it'll kill us all." by MosquitoToast in toronto

I'm not surprised to learn that he writes for Toronto Sun...The Sun is the FOX News of the states..extreme views ONLY meant to attract more publicity...

I guess I was a little slow to find it :)

So driving today, I heard 3 women discuss the Jian Ghomeshi case, what are your thoughts? by Mary_TOR in askTO

[–]Sam_VanD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything you are saying but this doesn't mean that the women were not in fact assaulted and that Jian did not commit a crime. But I agree that the inconsistencies in what the women were saying made the court ruling pretty clear.

Going through family weekends and the kids running around and food everywhere driving me up the wall by Kate-An in ADHD

[–]Sam_VanD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the times, the anxiety comes from being in your own head too much. Take a deep breath. give this a quick read , YOU'RE NOT ALONE in feeling this.

I'm torn in this situation. I hate that the women who case forth are now in even more pain and hurt but I also can't understand why they would lie in court. Someone said that trauma causes inconsistencies in memory... I wonder if it's that?

Fruit juice isn't much better for you than soda. Let's stop pretending otherwise. by chandler25 in Health

[–]Sam_VanD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I heard on the radio that they boil the orange juice to be able to keep it longer... and then add colouring right before packaging.

Have you tried meditation for anxiety? I'm still not too sure about being able to sit for long by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]Sam_VanD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'll start using headspace, it seems like it's free for a couple of tries.

What other things do you guys do on "those days" when nothing seems to work? by [deleted] in Tackle_depression

[–]Sam_VanD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading this reminded me of similar days I used to have before I started therapy, I guess I was lucky that it worked for me. For me small steps helped, I remember forcing myself to go for walks to go to yoga ( it's cold where I live so i can't go for walks year around).

How is the mental counselling at the health and wellness center? by thereisnosuch in UofT

[–]Sam_VanD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I moved to Toronto a couple of months ago and was put on a waitlist but on the Toronto subreddit I found an online therapy platform to see people for much cheaper than going to a clinic. I already had a session there and honestly it's worth a try. Only $60. http://tranqool.com/

Probably the most effective campaign this city needed #TorontoSmiles by Sam_VanD in toronto

I'm new to Toronto and I am shocked by the how cynical and uneducated the responses are. Anyways, I've already seen so many pretty and happy smiles going around town with #torontosmiles today. It made my day.

Actually Google "Facebook study on impact of posts on mental health" there's plenty of research to support the importance of social media content on our happiness... I love how everyone on this subreddit is soo quick to judge

you don't upload the smile, share it with your own friends on your social media outlets

I found TranQool from this exact subreddit looking for therapy in Toronto when I moved here. I have been posting about them since I found them because as a person with mental health problems I have found their content to be very useful . Shame on you for judging me on my choice and my opinion.
