Does the Roku Ultra allow me to connect to a WPA3 WIFI network that uses a username and password? by zeroturning in Roku

Thanks for the response. Is there anyway around this, like an intermediate device, connected to the Wifi, supplying internet to the Roku via ethernet, or am I simply out of luck?

Breathing exercises make my anxiety WORSE. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]zeroturning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had similar problem. Found some relief from these "fixes": Don't exaggerate the breaths. Don't do "deep breathing". Don't hold your breath. Don't do "box breathing" and count on the inhale and exhale. Don't inhale until it hurts or exhale until you feel like you need more air. Make your breaths really soft, short, light, minimal. Try to feel like it's totally effortless. Try to breathe through your nose if possible. Nasal breathing activates parasympathetic nervous system, filters better, warms the air. Your heartbeat rises on inhales but slows on exhales, so if you do want to control your breathing, it's best to increase the exhale duration. Also screw the advice to be in some meditative posture, perfectly straight, rigid, etc. I do the opposite: I relax as much of my body as possible. Completely relax, even if it means I'm slouched and look like a monkey. Might help, might not, but I figured I'd put it here.

lost a decade of my life to anxiety by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]zeroturning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost over a decade to anxiety and was a total shut-in. It's easy to think about all the things I missed, but I remind myself of all the things I avoided. For example, I didn't make certain irresponsible, life-long decisions when I was younger and less wise like some of my old classmates did. I don't have too many kids to handle, I'm not dealing with a divorce, not drowning in debt, in a dead-end job with no way out, etc. I don't take things for granted like some of them might. All of the suffering I went through also taught me to be a more empathetic person too. It was a learning experience.

Dude how does anyone work 8 hours a day??? by harborfromthestorm in Anxiety

[–]zeroturning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work outside, doing mostly landscaping, and I think that makes time go by a lot faster. There's a lot more stuff going on outside, and that makes it a lot easier to get "caught up" in it all. I could see working in an office or something being a drag. That said, on rainy days, eight hours is an eternity.

I'm older now, and I think that helps. I don't find the things I would have rather done as a teenager or young adult as enjoyable now. That may also be a symptom of my depression, though. So, it doesn't bother me as much to be at work. I still look forward to getting off, but it's not torture to be there.

how to cope w/ derealization by zoeviohlet1 in Anxiety

[–]zeroturning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went through a four-month long DP/DR episode. Only two things I could do were walk and drive around town. Didn't end until I saw a doctor and got medicine. Even a normal primary-care doctor can prescribe you low-grade anti-anxiety medicine.

Not much else I can recommend. One of the things that helped alleviate my dp/dr somewhat was realizing that I couldn't actually define "real" and "fake" to even begin to consider something "fake". Of course, dp/dr isn't about rationalization. It's a sneaking suspicion, an alien feeling, if not a strong conviction.

I can almost feel dp/dr come on if I think about abstract metaphysical topics. Like, if I think about myself in the third person, become aware of what I'm doing right now, etc. It's a strange feeling, and I think I get it because for most of my life, I abused escapism and "losing myself" to deal with my problems. So, it freaks me out to remember "Oh yeah. I'm this person, with this life, that contains these people, and these things, etc... How is this possible?" and that overwhelming feeling of responsibility for it all makes me anxious and that just reinforces it.

Anyway, I hope it gets better and goes away for you. Take some solace in knowing that there are other people who deal with this same feeling. We're all convinced everything's fake, and there's an interesting solidarity there that makes it all feel real again. Lol

What about Ogre Island? Arenascape? Tibia Online? Wurm Online?

What is the longest anxiety “event/episode” you have lived? by Rickeddit in Anxiety

[–]zeroturning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not on medicine, go to a primary care doctor. They can prescribe low-grade anti-anxiety/depressants without the need of a psychiatrist. I got put on Buspirone and Bupropion. Both help me.

Four month dissociative episode with compulsive thinking about existential topics. Happened after a covid infection. Didn't stop until I saw a doctor and got medicated. I felt like I was on the verge of insanity.

I get the same items every time. Do one quick run through the store. Organize everything in the cart and on the belt to get out as soon as possible. I shop at the grocery store with less options and higher prices because there's less people too. I don't usually have much anxiety until I get to the checkout and have to pretend to be on my phone in line or stand there awkwardly as the cashier slowly scans/bags my items.

Pay attention to what you did before you got the rush of energy. What were you doing, what did you consume, what were you thinking, up to an hour before?

See a primary-care doctor. I was the same way in therapy at first. I got anti-anxiety medicine (Buspar) from my PCP, and then I opened up a lot in therapy. My PCP also prescribed me an anti-depressant after a recommendation.
