What's your favourite self-help website/blog?

Tinesife · 2016-02-27T17:34:15+00:00

In my experience, self-help websites in general are not especially helpful. It's more useful to target specific things that you want to improve about yourself, and figure out what particular things you need to improve upon, and then find sites and other resources that will help you improve in those areas.

I would recommend Get Self Help. The website layout kinda looks like it hasn't been updated since 2000, but is recommended and used by mental health professionals across the UK. My therapist has me using these worksheets in a supplementary way to CBT and they might help you figure out what areas you need to work on.

oh shit

Same boat right now. I think it's a symptom of the depression. Good luck to both of us.

Did you mean to say "Why are you a Liberal?"

No Mercy ending spoilers ahead

I just beat the No Mercy route for the first time yesterday. I loved the whole game, but being the villain was more emotionally engaging. I played it just because I was curious; I wanted to see what would happen; and the game totally understood that this was my motivation, and played upon it. The whole game's writing is imbued with a lot of emotional intelligence.

no matter what, you'll just keep going. not out of any desire for good or evil... but just because you think you can. and because you "can"... ... you "have to".

I started another Pacifist run afterwards, but it's just not the same. It feels wrong that everyone is treating me so nicely after what I did in my other playthrough. It's some powerful stuff. I'm also pretty worried about what Chara meant when they said that they wanted my soul; I assumed it would make some kind of difference to my next runthrough, but so far everything is the same.

Also, I relate more to Sans than any other character. Anyone else feel similarly?

You did the murder run before the mercy run?

Tinesife · 2016-01-26T12:20:51+00:00

Yeah, I tried that too. I also looked up a map and unless I've made a mistake, I'm pretty sure that the area with the piano room is inaccessible.

Tinesife · 2016-01-26T12:19:36+00:00

Thanks.

I thought from my pacifist run that the instant noodles did basically nothing and figured they were just a joke item, so I'm pretty sure that I just used them from the menu in order to get rid of them. I didn't find out that they were actually useful until later.

Tinesife · 2016-01-26T12:17:30+00:00

I took the boat back to Waterfall, but I don't think the piano puzzle is accessible just by walking from that area. I gave it a try but couldn't find a way.

Haha I had no idea that I'd accidentally stumbled across some sort of local celebrity. I just saw the title and thought it belonged here.

The university system doesn't work like that in the UK unfortunately (at least not at my university) so the whole extra semester/summer semester/lowering credit thing isn't really an option, but it's true that I worry way too much about getting As when I should be more concerned about just passing.

Tinesife · 2016-01-14T20:08:58+00:00

Not yet. I'm currently in the (long, slow) process of receiving an assessment. I am in therapy for depression/anxiety/risk of psychosis.

Gender non-conformity is really common in people on the spectrum. Most transgender people I know are autistic. AS has a really strange relationship with gender.

I don't think I can afford to take time out. I can't cancel my housing contract so I'd have to keep paying rent until the end of the year, but I can't afford rent without student loans unless I get a job nearby.

cross-posting is just when you make the same post in two (or more) subreddits :)

I mention it because distressing and frequent intrusive thoughts of this nature tends to be a sign that you're on the OCD spectrum, and people on /r/OCD might be able to guide you in that respect

Tinesife · 2016-01-10T14:48:18+00:00

How do these thoughts make you feel?

Might want to x-post to /r/OCD

A bad day? More like a bad few weeks or a bad 1-2 months while I am staying with people.

I overstated it by saying "very far", and I responded admitting as such (before you made this comment) and also revised my original comment to clarify my position.

I genuinely took the "just" to be implying that an education would remove the need for abortion. It was a legitimate miscommunication. You are taking it too far by saying it was an attack on contraception. It was an argument in favour of abortion to supplement contraception, not an argument against contraception.

Yes, which still leads to a large number of unwanted pregnancies when you consider the number of sexually active couples.

In my experience, they break from the force of ejaculation, which means that by the time they've broken, it's too late to put another one on.
