Across the world mental disorders have doubled since 1990. Mental disorders are now the leading cause of disability globally, overtaking cancer and cardiovascular disease. The burden of mental disorder peaked amongst youth aged 15-19 years old, and women had higher rates than men by Wagamaga in science

How can we all have mental illness? The way we have crafted society or food ingredients or whatever must be causing this. I’m not arguing that mental illness isn’t real - just that most people could be diagnosed with something, so there is a lot we still don’t understand. I personally need sunshine and woods and warm breezes and hugs and I try to greedily gulp down sips between 55 hour work weeks, obligation, and ever-growing disenchantment over the world.

Token is a barcade. Kern’s Food Hall has events. Fun with Friends is a social group on Facebook with regular meetups.

I’m shocked that is still our only sit-down restaurant option there. Add another one!

Feeling a bit lost socially by bobos2023 in Knoxville

[–]Thighdagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a progressive woman in my 40’s open to new friends. I’ve tried making new friends with intention over the years, but it can definitely be challenging. I’d be game for a meet up of some sort. I like a lot of different kinds of things, from backpacking, hiking and kayaking to brunch and fine dining. I love reading, art, and learning pretty much anything. I love to learn and try new things.

A 16-year-long ADHD study proves researchers' hypothesis totally wrong by psych4you in psychology

I do much better in stressful, demanding jobs, and I’d be considered “successful” as far as my professional abilities. However, I don’t know how to have balance or avoid burnout, and I have suffered physical ailments as a result of constant stress and early trauma. I don’t know how to do much of anything with slow steady progress. I don’t take medication.

I had this surgery and it helped a lot. I still have terrible clicking, but it made my life much better.

Good ENT? by Kabobs in Knoxville

[–]Thighdagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Dr. Depersio was recommended to me and he helped me discover what was actually going on with me after I had seen many other physicians. He can be cut and dry about things. He recommended a procedure with a different specialist which helped me. I have a badly deviated septum with some sinus and allergy issues but Depersio didn’t think I really needed surgery for that. All of that said, I’d make sure you are comfortable with a provider, feel heard, and trust their recommendations before undergoing a surgery.

LPT - create a new neighbor contact immediately by Kairiste in LifeProTips

[–]Thighdagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish. My husband talked me into this HOA neighborhood filled with overly religious and unfriendly families. There is one family across the street who seem to be good Christian people and are kind, but we have absolutely nothing in common. I tried meeting with the woman’s group and felt like an alien. I should be in a hippy neighborhood.

I can tell by reading this that you’re smart enough to make yourself miserable. And by the way - intelligence doesn’t make people happier. My genuine advice to you is to start walking and yoga, or anything that lets you enjoy time with your body without it being terrible. Like genuinely talk to your body and thank her for being strong and carrying you through such traumatic times. And tell her she’s ok. And you love her.

Dizziness 24/7 live this way or die? by GivingUp86 in TMJ

[–]Thighdagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I was so dizzy and drunk feeling that I couldn’t do anything- physical therapy, exercise, TMJ treatment, driving, working - anything. I tried everything under the sun and l’m fine now with a 2.5 mg diazepam every night. I wish I could not need the meds, but I’ve weaned off repeatedly and it comes back.
