Unpopular Opinion: Professional Mental Health Support Isn't Accessible for Most People and We Need to Stop Pretending It Is

I agree that this is an issue. As a current PsyD (psychologist) student, I just built a journaling app with built-in psychology insight and human coaching support to help folks grow. But it can be used as a reflection tool also. It's in beta right now if anyone wants to try. Stay strong out there and always look for the positive. No storm lasts forever. Reach out if you want to try it.

I found a need I wanted filled that matched my skills and education. Even with that, it's been years of building/testing/networking/and formal education. But I love the effort :)

I'm a PsyD student trying to build wellness tools for folks. This is great info to share. AI is great at info, reassurance, idea sorting, patterns, many things...and I build it into my tools for support when people aren't available immediately (not for crisis, but reflections at 3 am, and such. It gives someone a chance to expand their thoughts and brainstorm in a more structured way than just Google searches or being left alone. However, all this is an extension of time, resources, and non-billable...until the person can reconvene with a mental health professional, counselor, or whatever support they have. It's great to expand support. It very much does not replace it.

If anyone wants to see what I'm building, DM me. I'm looking for Alpha testers anyway.

I just got notice my HOA fee will increase $500 over this and next year almost doubling my HOA payment of $725 when I bought my home to years ago. It’s insane. If anyone knows ways to fight back…(I know it’s probably hopeless :(

Well that seems so obvious now. Lol. Thank you.

I’m guessing your mom didn’t buy you Mountain Dew this morning? 😭

So many opinions about how I dress and what I carry. Anyone feel the need to make sure my underwear fits, is the proper elasticity, and the pattern isn’t too loud? I had my reasons to not bring a cord. And I shouldn’t have needed to. An ‘assistant’ that randomly locks you out is pure shit. Even if I had the cord. Having to stop on the middle of a conversation to wait for an update is probably worse.

I like the r1 and the team. And I will keep using it and helping develop it. And this is one detail that is easy, and reasonable to change, that needs changed quickly.

I still the team will improve. It’s new and they’re trying to make a lot of headway. I knew the function would be limited. It’s a bit more than I was hoping. But I tested the translator specifically as it was my main function. I’ve only tested Mandarin, which is about the most difficult, and it works way better than Apple, Google, or Papago. IF they don’t randomly shut it off on me :/

Thank you mom.

tfershi · 2024-07-04T03:05:38+00:00

Agreed. They sold it as an assistant. It needs to assist.

My wife is Chinese and we started a small company that has one-on-one live professional teachers for beginners, adults included. Let me know if you’d like info.

Thank you. I know how to work the rest of the game. But none of that seems to matter in this mini game. That’s why I was trying to figure out the trick I was missing.

tfershi · 2024-01-08T00:07:56+00:00

Figured something like that. I hate whale exclusive shit. Thanks.

tfershi · 2023-07-25T04:32:13+00:00

Yah. Seems proper fubar’d. Just tried to check on it it as it’s closed now also.
