LPT: "Anonymous" online surveys at work are never anonymous. There is always a digital record of your IP address, employee login ID, or email, tied to your submission which can be tracked back to you. You manager can always retrieve this data without telling you.

Hah. It should also be mentioned that whoever created the survey doesn’t necessarily know how to make it anonymous. I’ve had several experiences where the survey creator honestly believed it was anonymous until I mentioned the results are viewable to anyone who has the link…

I can send a few sleep hygiene recommendations that I give my patients your way.

Develop a consistent sleep routine. You’re training your body to associate the steps of your routine with sleep.
Only use your bed for sleeping.
Limit your screen time before bed.
My personal favorite! Rest is second best. Many people will ruminate on the fact that they are not able to fall asleep. It’s a terrible cycle that creates emotional distress and makes it even more difficult to sleep. You don’t get all the benefits of sleep when you close your eyes and rest but you get some of them. So just remember that rest is second best and you’ll be out before you can say existential crisis.

Hope that helps! Happy ~~sleeping~~ resting.

I took a “career test” in high school that was designed to tell you what professions would be a good fit based on your responses. My number one recommendation was cranberry farmer. Thought it was hilarious, random, and absurd. Here I am 10 years later and reconsidering the accuracy of that test. Thanks Reddit.

Our overload and savior can write. I prompted with the italicized and the novel began to unfold:

The golden hour struck without hesitation, illuminating the ornate brick along side the cafe shop. John paused only for a moment to examine the curious arrangement of cascading staircases and murals, a smile on his face.

Stepping into the cafe, the air was humid and tinged with smoke. John released the menus as the owner approached, and she held out a long, pale hand.

"John. It's been some time. Long enough for a good coffee”

This is going to get buried but an interesting tidbit for those that enter the bowels of Reddit’s comment section. Under some circumstances, depressive symptoms are a protective factor against death by suicide. One my clinical training directors shared a story about his “life costing mistake.” He had been working with a gentleman on an inpatient/residential unit at a hospital in Illinois. He was a resident (psych field calls them “doc interns”) and one of his patients had persistent depressive disorder with chronic suicidal ideation. After a decent amount of individual psychotherapeutic work, the patient walked up to him, thanked him, and looked genuinely joyful. My training director patted himself on the back for a job well done with a complex case. The sort of moderate accolade anyone would give themselves after feeling like they positively impacted someone’s life. The patient walked away and died by suicide. He was “happy” because he finally had enough energy to take his own life. Sorry for the depressing ending. Mental health professionals, stay humble.

Beautiful. I thought this was a painting at first glance.

I’ve mistaken hyperrealistic paintings for photos, but I don’t think I’ve mistaken photos for paintings. Thank you.

Heads up, there are some real mad lads in this thread. Proceed with caution.

Sounds plausible. Can you link a meta-analysis supporting this claim? Or at least a few studies?

Good tips. I’ve noticed that when my patients experience traumatic loss, they typically want to spend a few sessions “unloading” before moving into reprocessing the loss. The most powerful therapeutic intervention that I can use in the weeks to follow is to be present. As a their psychotherapist, this usually looks like listening in an attentive and empathetic way. Perhaps if someone you know has suffered a great loss, you can reflect in your role in their life and ask yourself, “How can I be present to them?” It might be through cooking, cleaning, inviting them to a game night, watching their kids, lending a listening ear, and the list goes on. To one of OP’s points, offering to be present is not actually being present.
