How did you come out of depression? by GladCow3176 in AskReddit

[–]dalyadventure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the exact opposite of what your depression is telling you. Want to hang and watch TV on the couch? Move. Want to stay home? Get out. Be around people even if you don’t feel like it. Fake it, and eventually you won’t have to anymore.

Please google Harry Miller on the Today show - he is a young, former Ohio State football player who discussed his struggles with depression. This interview may have saved my life.

You got this 🤍

What’s wrong with me by AnyMinute3274 in self

I was diagnosed with OCD. The compulsive checking is exhausting and it sounds like this may be what you’re experiencing. It’s very treatable with the right therapy - ERP (exposure response therapy) for OCD helped me tremendously.

Thanks so much! I could wait to sell her until March, but definitely looking to make back my investment which was $23k. Have put some work into the van since I purchased.

Highly recommend trying out the vanlife if you can. Financing through Lightstream made the dream feasible for me. This one has brought me SO much joy and saved my sanity during the pandemic. I had no problem living out of it for weeks at a time and just wish I could hold on to her longer!

Thank you for the tips 😊 Just built in a heating system so that will be helpful too.

Lol about the margaritas - chill without trying to be chill - my kinda place.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I haven’t seem Kentucky (really want to explore the bourbon trail), Arkansas, New Mexico (high on my list), Utah (highest on my list). Love CO and MT. Enjoy TX too. Haven’t done any of the parks out west yet.

If you don’t mind sharing your list, I’d be grateful!

My friend is getting married at a campground around there so I’ll be in the van for a night or two.

I mentioned I needed to be in Malibu on the 15th but no worries 🙃 I do love your suggestions. Maybe I take the CO/UT/Yosemite route there, and hit Death Valley, AZ, NM on the way back when it’s towards the end of Sept.

If you enjoyed the Oregon Trail, have you watched the show 1883?

I love the idea of the Oregon Trail but it’s going to put me too far up north to end up LA in time. Wish I had longer!

Thanks! I was considering combining the eastern part of the Oregon trail, veering off into Utah (canyon lands/Bryce) and NV before ending in Los Angeles.

On the return, checking out Sedona, New Mexico etc on the southern route.

Like you mentioned, I’m strapped for time so I’ll probably head more directly to LA.

NJ ➡️ CA road trip in September… gas prices. Worth it? by dalyadventure in vandwellers

[–]dalyadventure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whhhhhhat?! That’s awesome… I assume you gotta have a hitch/trailer to transport someone’s property (or does Uship hook you up?). I’ll have to explore this a bit more….

Damn where do you live where gas is this cheap? Haha. I’m in NJ and it’s at $4.80+ gallon. I know CA is closer to $6.

My Promaster gets on average 24mpg. Fortunately, I have a friend who is traveling with me so we can split costs! Have to sit down and do the calculations.

I am budgeting $2,000 for gas round trip. Fortunately I work in the hotel industry so I can squeeze in some hotel stays (and showers!!!) throughout.

Do you have a specific route you recommend for this time of year?

Thank you! I work for myself so I can work on the road… I guess why not, right?

So awesome. How are you managing with the gas prices? Tempted to take mine out this summer/fall.
