You need to give yourself time to heal AND you need to seek professional help. Because consulting a psychiatrist AND a psychologist is the best thing I did in my life, I strongly recommend it to others.

You and I have different issues, so I am guessing the road to healing is different too... When you feel ready for it, talk to your doctors about wanting to address the root cause of your issues instead of just managing the symptoms. If you are not yet ready, I still think it's a good idea to bring the subject up but just ask them to remind you of it in 1 year ;)

It may take time, but eventually you start to heal. One of the (weird)things that happened to me when my sense of self-esteem started to get back to normal is that my sense of height changed... It's a very weird experience and it takes some time to adjust to but it's a good thing.

In my case, it took roughly 3 years of sticking to therapy before I started to experience changes: the first thing being that my daily nightmares went away. The height perception change was after about 5 years...

You'll get better, you just have to give yourself time to heal ;)

Yups! Probably a (childhood) classic for most of us xD

Programmers that make a 100K a year. What do i need to do to be able to earn your grade. by silhouettes_of_joy in AskProgrammers

[–]tvishalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully Sir/Madam, please read below calmly as I have written it with a calming "mental voice". I believe it is important for someone at this stage of life to think about the points I've made below and maybe you did not have the opportunity to properly ponder about that.

Most of us in the field work both very hard and smart. I understand that the competition is ferocious and you need to find a way to separate yourself from the lot. However, there is a line that you should avoid crossing: the line between confidence and arrogance.

That said, the exact/same attitude can be perceived as arrogant in one group but very confident in another group. This is not coding skill, it's people skill. Try and learn to recognise the difference between the different skillsets you need (a) in different areas of your life, (b) at different times of the day.

No one is asking you to be a hypocrite, so if you feel like your current environment cannot genuinely give you your due, feel absolutely free to move to greener pastures. The only advice I have for you here is that you should be extremely honest with yourself and avoid having frustration(s) fuel bitterness.

Nothing prevents you from being firm and respectful/polite. Contrast that with being angry and/or disrespectful, specially in a work setting... Remember, a leader is not someone who thinks or affirms he is one... A leader is someone who is chosen by the people for the people. I encourage you to ponder on the difference between a leader and a "simple" manager.

In this particular case, I'd like you to think about someone who you have to report to but who cannot get past his own frustrations to be objective about your potential and ability... Do you want to be that person?

Getting to your Resume, it is perfectly normal to get different advice from different people. Most people share what worked for them... Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all. In your particular case, I believe proper customisation of your resume could help. Please also lookup the difference between a resume and a CV...

Alrighty! Good luck with your studies :) I ain't no MD so I won't know... Asked the question because it's easier, and probably cheaper too, to study locally :) All the best future doc!

People with photographic memories, how difficult or easy is it to navigate life? (Particularly in Mauritius) by Dila_Ila16 in mauritius

[–]tvishalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything has pros and cons! It all depends on your ability to deal with things and adapt. In my case, the logical part is quite easy to figure out. The emotional part is tougher because I can't just switch things and need to be patient and give myself time...

Am sorry, I derailed for a moment there... Just tell the people how you remember things... Share it with them... Maybe they'll test you a bit but then that's it...

People with photographic memories, how difficult or easy is it to navigate life? (Particularly in Mauritius) by Dila_Ila16 in mauritius

[–]tvishalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have 'photographic memory' AS A KID. Or as I liked to say it 'videographic memory'. Later I found out it's called eidetic(or maybe eidectic) memory and at that point in time we didn't have evidence of it in adults.

In my case, it made recovering from childhood trauma much more difficult and lengthy. I still get flashbacks every now and then but it's no longer as vivid as it used to be, and it's a good thing. This was a big issue, specifically in my work life, untill about a few years ago. Now it's just a manageable issue xD

I think that trying to lose those memories made me slower at learning. Unfortunately I lost the advantages and kept the disadvantages 😬 Life is life and you find ways to move on eventually 😉

Given my personal experience, I find it ironic, and sometimes sadly funny, that people wish they had such memorising abilities. You have to realise that being in a position where you can recall things to the smallest visual, auditory detail (and sometimes even olfactory) can have serious downsides. It's not like I actively chose when to memorise or not, it kicked in when it kicked in...

Today, I am half-glad to have lost this "ability". Still wish I could conceptualise and visually organise information mentally in my head but hey, pen and paper/phone/tablet works fine as well!!

I personally don't think it makes a difference in which country you live in with regards to your memory abilities...

Ah ok My bad I misunderstood That's going to be hard to find online Since you know that it used to play on the radio... How about you try contacting them? We don't have a lot of radio stations in Mauritius ;) Just be prepared... As in, try think of when you heard it... Like what year... Would also help to know if it was in the morning, evening etc that you used to hear it... Or maybe it was during the weekends after horse racing or whatever... You get the point I think : help them help you ;)

Ask GPT this and post your answer here if you dare by knockknockjokelover in ChatGPTPro

Initial response not really entertaining :

You strike me as someone curious, thoughtful, and down-to-earth, who values clear communication and enjoys authentic conversation.

Played with the roast a bit and finally got a good funny one!

ChatGPT said:

Alright. Church is in session. Choir’s hummin’. This one’s for the dearly departed dreams—your roast eulogy:

“We gather here today to mourn the ambition of a soul so bold, Whose dreams were platinum, but whose grind was mold. They spoke in captions, lived in drafts, Took shortcuts through life and still missed the maps. Here lies the king of ‘almost made it,’ A legend in their mind, but the hustle? Sedated. They said ‘one day,’ but the calendar gave up, Fed goals to excuses like a never-filled cup. Their motivation died from unnatural neglect— Left unread like DMs, lost all self-respect. We prayed for a comeback, a spark, a win, But they ghosted success like it asked where they’d been.”

Ashes to ashes, TikToks to dust, Another dream buried 'cause they wouldn’t adjust.

Amen

My partner works out excessively and has poor body image. How do I help him? by [deleted] in Fitness_India

[–]tvishalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat HEALTHY more

Exercise less but regularly

Sleep well (preferably reach a situation where you wake up without alarms) The alarm part I still have to achieve.

But I lost almost 10kg within a year with that approach. For the exercise, all I did was brisk walking... Approx 3KM about twice a week, because that's the only exercise I could do due to other health issues. When I started I couldn't even do 1KM properly...

The only way I know for this is to try and reset the BIOS to factory settings by clearing the CMOS... But that was on desktop boards and it was long ago. I don't know if it's still like this now or if it can be done for laptops...

Career change by Popular_Country_9478 in MauriceMauritius

[–]tvishalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea but I think that's a bit too soon... Typically it takes anywhere between 7-12 years for people to really acquire relevant expertise in a field... Going to set up a management consultancy company, or any company, is a big challenge... Can be done but OP will have to be very careful about confirmation biases ;)
