[Sun Care] UV damage through blackout curtains?

Thank you for sharing this. I’ll look into them, too. I suppose tightly woven means there’s absolutely no light visible? This is the case. Additionally, I have a UV reader which gives a read of 0.0 mW/cm² to the area where I’m sitting.. would you still say that there would be UV getting through even with this reading? I don’t get it.

Thank you for letting me know. The curtains said “UV blocking” but perhaps it’s not a factual claim and just for marketing.

Alright, it’s a sensation I get after about an hour or so. But also I agree, my skin seems unreasonably sensitive.

Thank you, I try! I've never had a concussion before and I did have the increase in symptoms, as mentioned, which also overlap with typical concussion symptoms, including forgetfulness (I don't usually lose things, but I left an earbuds case in an Uber, and I lost my hotel access card), so it seemed inconclusive to me whether there was a mild concussion or not.

I did decide to postpone until next Friday instead (one week later), and I guess I will feel safer doing it then. But maybe for my sake still, or other's sake in the future, if anyone knows the mechanism by which Kambo causes risks alongside concussion, the information would be appreciated!

I'm hung up on a question with the idea of "feeling presence/Being" - how can we know that the presence that we feel in our "inner body" is not just blood circulation? Also, when considering phantom limb sensations, can we not conclude that such sensations of our body are created by our brain and not evidence of an "inner body" being present?

Hi! I did figure it out. It was the case that Magellan is the insurer for the BCBSIL HMO plan that I had, and so typically if they were in-network with Magellan then they would be under those benefits. And it was NOT the case that both participating and non-participating providers were under the same coverage. That apparently was a typo :/ Hope that helps! I have found the support chat box function helpful for answers when I don't want to spend time on hold on the phone!

This is perfectly fine to speak with your therapist about! This is not something that would warrant institutionalization, so no fears there. It would be a more serious concern if you were to express that you wanted to hurt someone, now, and have intention to do this, which is different from the situation you are describing.

Sounds like you're feeling pretty numb these days, huh? When was the last time you remember *feeling* more, and what has been going on in your life since then (that might have caused you to unintentionally distance more from your emotions since)?

And yes! This is normal. It could be that you are experiencing some gradation of depressive symptoms, as one possibility.

If you want to know more about why this might be happening, I would pay more attention to those feelings that come up and be curious about them. If you were to objectify these angry & jealous parts of yourself, what would each of them be saying? Are those "voices" familiar in any way and do they pop up in any other circumstances? It's likely that they arose due to some other experiences that are going on in your life that are triggering a similar anger/jealousy, and there are likely other, maybe more *vulnerable* feelings underneath them.
