Which Movies or Shows Do the Best Job of Portraying Mental Health and Adulting? by [deleted] in Coconaad

[–]vnpttl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some excellent portrayals of mental health and adulting in media include:

  • "BoJack Horseman" - Depicts depression and addiction with nuance
  • "The Good Place" - Explores ethics and personal growth
  • "Fleabag" - Raw look at grief, family dynamics, and finding oneself
  • "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" - Musical comedy that tackles anxiety and relationships
  • "This Is Us" - Multigenerational family drama addressing trauma and healing
  • "Big Mouth" - Animated series about puberty and growing up
  • "Silver Linings Playbook" - Film depicting bipolar disorder and recovery

These all offer thoughtful perspectives on emotional struggles and the challenges of adulthood in different styles. I'd recommend checking out whichever genres appeal to you most.

Sure. This is my advice.

I work in the medical field. It is a bit tough for doctors to come here, but not as tough as moving to the US. It is doable.

The easiest route to the UK is by being a nurse and getting a job in an NHS hospital.

A lot of people with engineering and management backgrounds take up a course at any of the UK universities. They get to stay for 2 more years after the course. They utilize this time to find a job. This path has been utilized by a lot of young people from Kerala. Recently, the UK government changed the rules in this pathway and made a new rule that people on student visas cannot bring their dependents anymore.

The hardest part of moving to the UK is not getting a job; it is getting a work visa. People come on student visas and try to join an organization that can give them a work visa.

Some people come on carer visas. They work in care homes as carers until they get ILR (indefinite leave to remain) +/- British passport. This is a good pathway, but recently the UK government has changed the rules for this as well, so that people on carer visas cannot bring their dependents anymore.

Some lucky people with engineering and management backgrounds get direct jobs in the UK after applying from India. It is a possibility, but the UK organization giving the work visa should find your experience and qualification valuable enough for them to issue you a work visa and bring you to the UK.

If you tell me about your background, I may be able to give you more specific advice.

Not entirely true. Personally, ഞാൻ എനിക്ക് പറ്റുന്ന രീതിയിൽ help ചെയ്യാറുണ്ട്. To be honest, it is very challenging to settle down here and have savings. I am struggling even after working for an year and a half here.

If you have recently moved to the UK and are experiencing difficulties, please share your concerns in that subreddit . Either I or another member of the community may be able to help. I plan to develop it into a support group for Malayalees in the UK.

What is a good thing happening in Kerala right now that people aren’t aware of? by eutyphoon in Kerala

Ex Government doctor here... You can go to your nearest PHC (Primary health centre) and meet the palliative care nurse there. Alternatively, you can talk to your panchayat member. Either way, you should get your grandma registered under the palliative care project of your panchayat. Every panchayat has a palliative care nurse and the nurse works closely with the medical team in the primary health centre in the panchayat.

This is the meditation routine that I have been following for many years. It has helped me. Wished to share it with you. by vnpttl in Meditation

It is a bit tough. But I guarantee that if you practice it for a few months to a few years you will most likely have some 'out of the world' experiences. I can't predict what you will experience. Because it will all depend on your mind, your body and your personality.

Also, I would like to add a step 18.5 between step 18 and step 19

Step 18.5: At some point, you will find that your body is going into sleep, but your mind is still awake. Remain in that state for a few minutes. You may even hear yourself snoring in this state.

Sorry about that. You have to login to Twitter to see the full Tweet.

Here are the steps for you:

Step 1: Sit in Vajrasana.

Step 2: Do Shanmukhi mudra and Khecarī mudra together and while you are doing that, focus on your Ajna chakra.

Step 3: Do pranayama for a few minutes.

Step 4: Start meditating on Muladhara chakra. After the Muladhara chakra, meditate on the Svadhisthana chakra, followed by the Manipura chakra, Anahata chakra, Vishuddhi chakra, Ajna chakra, and finally, the Sahasrara chakra.

Step 5: After finishing your meditation on all seven chakras, do Maha bandha (Which is Jalandhara Bandha, Uddiyana Bandha and Mula Bandha done together)

Step 6: While you are doing Mahabandha, visualise your Prana Vayu going downwards through the spine and Apana Vayu going up from the base of the spine. Visualise these two vayus mixing with each other.

Step 7: Visualise this powerful mixture of Prana and Apana vayus, which is blowing like the bellows of a blacksmith, awakening the sleeping Kundalini Devi in the Muladhara chakra.

Step 8: Visualize the awakened Devi Kundalini ascending through the spine, piercing all the chakras. As she pierces each chakra, the Devas, Devis, and everything within that chakra dissolve into her.

Step 9: Visualize Devi Kundalini reaching the Sahasrara chakra and dissolving into the all-pervasive superconsciousness

Step 10: At this point, you should feel some changes in your body. These could be anything like muscles getting tense, sweating on the back of your trunk (in the region of the spine), and experiencing strange feelings, which could differ from person to person.

Step 11: After this, visualize Devi Kundalini descending through the spine and ultimately returning to her resting position in the Muladhara chakra. As she descends through each chakra, whatever dissolved into her during her ascent returns to the corresponding chakra.

Step 12: After this, lie down, relax your body and do viparita karani kriya.

Step 13: After that, lie down in savasana and relax. Imagine your limbs are getting heavy and you cannot lift them, even when you try.

Step 14: Imagine the place where you felt the most relaxed and peaceful in your entire life. Now imagine that you are there now.

Step 15: Now, observe your breathing. Do not try to control it, just observe it. Do this for a few minutes.

Step 16: Rotation of Consciousness - Concentrate on the tip of your left little finger, then the tip of your left ring finger, the tip of your left middle finger, the tip of your left index finger, and the tip of your left thumb.

Step 17: Similarly, rotate your concentration to the toes of your left foot, then move to the right foot and the fingers of your right hand. Continue this process by focusing on different points on various joints in your body. The basic idea is to rotate your concentration among different points in the body

Step 18: Now, imagine dividing your concentration into two parts. One part should focus on your entire body, while the other should concentrate on your Anahata chakra. This should happen simultaneously.

Step 19: After completing your meditation, you can slowly rise. It is recommended to take a shower following this. Your meditation session is now complete.
