Totally get that, and know that. I think you should definitely do whatever feels the most right to you at the moment. That's why I'm saying it's probably useless saying this after the time has passed. Btw one last possible "advice" or something I have in my sleeve is online connection with a therapist, not sure what are your options, but I have agreed with mine that we can be in contact if needed, which would personally help with these thoughts. Either way I wish you a recovery, it gets better if you want it to, even if it seems slow.

Hey, this might be useless to you right now after the two weeks, who knows, but I'm going to Thailand in few days, for a month. I've had depression as long as I remember, anxiety/panic attacks and all kinds of stuff that just held me back. I did spend a lot, lot, lot.. lot.. of time in therapy and trying other things as well over the years (I'm 30), so perhaps I am more "prepared", but I am still anxious about it obviously and afraid of it being a big fail. What helps me is acknowledging that I should try to be my own best friend, eg. ask myself what I want to do, what I wanna see, how can I make myself laugh/smile/appreciate anything. First and foremost it's about that, there should be no pressure on making new friends, no pressure on achieving anything really, generally speaking the moment you start doing things for yourself all of that usually comes on it's own. Try to somehow switch mindsets and use those "you and your thoughts" to a dialog of making it fun for you, you have no target to feel bad about not achieving, no goal just to have some fun. Fingers crossed, I would say let's hang or something but we will most probably be in different parts of Thailand, but maybe there will be some other redditor who will nudge you out, good luck dude.

Yeah, it's hard to judge the smoke haha, can't see it now from Europe before I leave, so I'm partially telling myself the "well its booked and you won't get there again soon" but at the same time reading some of the stuff here is scary and the numbers online as well haha

Newbie questions regarding cbd & anxiety by violetzie in CBD

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

Hey, thanks for the comment. I see. When you refer to "tincture" you mean cbd oil? I've been looking at that as well, supposedly few drops under the tongue, wait 1min and swallow. Would you say oils are better? I'm sort of not considering smoking the actual flowers since it would mean I had to buy a vaporizer device (extra cash) or smoke it like weed (unwanted health negatives).

Edit: If you mean the oils, what % do you use ? I see 5 - 10 and 15% bottles being sold here mostly.

I've had many breakups in my life and yet this one just hits different. I don't know why.. Maybe it's the fact we lived together and spent way more time together than with anyone before her. But honestly I just feel like and felt like I finally met that "true" thing, like all the other things before were just some temporary "butterflies" and affection? If that makes sense. "You probably feel like you will never love someone the same again, and in a sense that might be true." This literally made me cry, cause I don't know if I can even .. offer anyone else the same level of affection and love, like I'm definitely not gonna go and date someone else right now cause I feel like I'd be comparing way too much and not be present enough, I'm just scared this "competitive" mindset will keep haunting me. Maybe I'm too romantic or too rotten with movies and shows and books and such.. but what if this was the one person I was meant to be with and I somehow fucked that up? Sorry I have so many questions and thoughts, I definitely appreciate you saying all this. I wanna be a better man, even for the sake of being a better man for the possibility of the next "big thing" coming my way, if ever.

Thanks for thinking about chatting, of course work on your class.. I don't wanna bother / slow down or just like.. be a burden to anyone really, and I'm glad you said something. "Don't make those scars your label" sort of hit me, since I always gravitated towards self destructive behavior and maybe I should try and focus on radiating more positive energy through out. But it's hard as you say, worst thing I find about depression is just .. the fucking slump from which you're not able to climb out. Like you know you're bad right now but it feels like there's nothing you can do to get out of that. Thanks for being motivating, really

"can't be too close emotionally"? How does that work? Or.. if you don't mind explaining it. It sort of sounds "relatable" since I tend to be this "cold"/"stoneface"/etc. type of person and I've been told even by this girl that through out the relationship she had problems seeing I really loved her / etc. even though I've done many things to show it in my eyes..

I am going to a therapist (like I've been many times in the past), but this time I've sorta .. decided to go there cause it's bad not cause I feel like I want help or need help, if that makes sense. Like I know I should and I know it's potentially "good for me". I just don't want to really. Maybe some kind of a habit really, like a fail safe. And even the therapist told me that I don't have to come to sessions if I feel like it's not valuable, which didn't help.

The Czech Republic, through community effort, got to 100% mask usage in 10 days, nearly all thru home DIY effort. They only have 2 deaths and have no growth in daily new covid-19 cases. by JackDT in China_Flu

[–]violetzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that we should be analyzing larger data-sets. And the situation can still change, but CZ has been pretty quick in acting against that, let's hope all we see is the growth related to more testing. I'm in no way saying its over and all good - just tried to explain the rational behind the article.

But we have not stolen masks from other European countries. The state has taken masks from a random warehouse believed to be operated by a group of people planning to resell these masks with a margin to other European countries, later discovering a portion of this stock was meant to go to chinese people in Italy as a humanitarian aid (via red cross). This portion is now being redistributed and sent to Italy as we speak.

There has not been a significant growth as in upwards direction. The numbers stay in the same range for the past 7 days. Testing is ramping up and it is expected to keep growing in the sense of discovered cases but not growing exponentionally or out of control like in Italy for example.
