i think you specifically want a psychologist be it a PsyD or other board certified therapist

A lot of them will also have RX agreements with an MD (e.g. one in the same practice group) so you can still get happy pills and calm pills and attention pills.

Often cheaper, as well.

yessir.

saying "let me tell you about the breakthrough i had in therapy!" is super cliched but it's true that after enough introspection you do start to have those moments where you suddenly realize something about yourself that changes your outlook on the world.

the first time something like that happened to me it was probably after like four months of going to a therapist weekly, worrying that i didn't know what to say, this is stupid and why am i doing it, there are other people with bigger problems than me, yada yada. then something just clicked and i was like, wow, i would never have come to this point on my own in a million years. this has genuinely changed who i am as a person. pretty cool

anyway find a therapist, not a psychiatrist (note that you may have to pay for this because they aren't doctors) and stick with it

you do just really have to do it regularly. after my mom died when i was a teenager i went to a therapist for a while but did it every 2 weeks and it was mostly like "well, here's an update for what's happened since we talked last, okay, i guess the time's up" and it was not really helpful. if someone's really a mess (like, incapacitated by their issues, on the edge of hospitalization) the usual recommendation is to have appointments twice a week and add in things like group therapy to fill the gaps. once a week is good for most people.

yea bikes are cheap and you can spend $200-$500 for super great bike that's about 90% as good as a $2000 bike, especially if a used one. but "bike culture" is definitely ol whitepeopling.txt with 55 year old white lawyers, doctors and poo poo, at least here in marin/sf area seem so anyways

i keep meaning to learn how to redo cables and stuff and really tune it up, my brakes sticks to the wheel taking more effort, and one squeels, one of them doesnt really apply enough pressure to stop even within 200-ft of holding it down. i bought some replacement poo poo nad tools but i tried once and it took half a day to replace one, did a bad job, and well... :effort:

tbh that could be nice if it was free but most apps dont even work. i wanted to get a truing stand but i have no where to put it. the wheels are definitely a bit wobbly though after i crashed once and hasn't been right every since.

one of the garages i used to work in had a bicycle shop in the front. every once in a while the bike shop guy would walk out into the auto garage with a rim and tire in his hand that needed straightening. he’d spin the wheel in his hands, eyeballing where the adjustment was needed, and then suddenly start smacking the assembly on the shop floor (only making contact with the tire). he’d spin it, wallop it on the floor a few times, spin it once more, and then go back up front.

it was alway entertaining to watch.

octopus takes a long cook. it may be precooked or it may not be, but either way it'll take a long slow simmer or some time in the pressure cooker.

alternative, only if it's not precooked, is to broil or grill for a short enough time that it doesn't stiffen

yeah, gonna stop derailing about it after this but thankfully i already have a good counsellor i can reach out to again. i was mostly worried about something being seriously wrong because things have been bad lately, so i’m not opposed to medication at all but that didn’t feel like we did nearly enough to establish the problem, let alone to throw meds at it.
