hell yeah idk what a tim tam slam is but it rhymes so it must be good meanwhile i'm trying to business-professionally write a letter to a hospital alleging emotional and economic distress that they exacted on me unjustly and wrongly, which itself is causing me emotional and economic distress, which is making it harder to do the thing that i don't know how to do

They put once on some adderral knock off that was supposed to last shorter so it'll be less addictive (more expensive) and all it did was make me like murderously angry all the time and I smashed in a tire air pump with a brick when it didn't accept my credit card. That's my adderal story.

I wish I could say that the thing that excites me most about a hypothetical Bernie presidency with a cooperative Dem congress is the relief and joy hundreds of millions would feel as they reaped the benefits of a government that was truly for the people. But if I'm being honest the thing that really makes me smile is the thought of gleefully encouraging wailing chuds and millionaire boomers to commit suicide. I guess, really, that makes me just as toxic and awful as anyone else in the TRUNP thread, and I only cling to things like "facts" and "nuance" and "hope" because it's how I justify to myself how thoroughly poisoned I truly am.

found out my sister had a dna test done to find out what sort of antidepressants were incredibly likely to trigger a gene-drug interaction. and all the ones that she had been on previously were in the 'significant' or 'moderate' gene-drug interaction boxes. it's a bit steep ($300), but it sounds like it'd be worth it.

so this isn't related to politics or me really but I need help with a friend who i'm p sure has depression she was let go at the job i'm at about 6 months ago and has been on unemployment since. her monetary situation is not great, and she's stressed about that among other things she's working on submitting a patent, and her native tongue is chinese so I've been helping her proofread her english before she submits it to her lawyer thing is though, she's becoming more and more distraught. she has to have the patent done now she says. people are waiting on it. we're nearly done with it, and i'm p sure we could finish the proofreading tonight if we really work hard on it. the problem is, she's not sleeping well and is constantly thinking about this patent. last night she stayed up and checked the chinese vs the english instead of sleeping. she's constantly telling me how guilty she feels that she's taken so long on this patent, etc. etc. i'm p certain she's entering a depressive state and this obsession with this patent is just a symptom. a couple of weeks ago i helped her proofread a conference presentation, and like with this she was becoming anxious and distraught (though that had a defined date it needed to be done by). last night she texted me cause she couldn't sleep cause she had a vague feeling of stress. any suggestions for how I can help her? i'm trying to get her to calm down, and I'm worried that by helping her with this patent again today I'm just feeding a negative obsession for her (since, the more she works on it the more she worries and is anxious about it). worse, I do not know if actually finishing the patent will lift her out of this anxiety. also, me helping her more than she helps me makes her feel guilty and I think that's making things harder on her. I could really use some help with this if anyone has some suggestions

I assume you've been reassuring her, what sorts of things have you tried? so right now she's feeling useless and worthless since I'm doing all the proofreading on my own (i check with her to make sure I have the right meaning of things, etc). I've tried reminding her that she wrote all of this stuff and even if her english isn't perfect it's a ton of good work and i'm just polishing it a bit. last night I tried walking her through our day today to try to get her to realize that things aren't so dire. i tried talking about us doing things after (she won't do anything not patent-related till it's done) to get her mind off it a bit, etc. this downturn is a bit new. i said before she was showing a lot of anxiety with the presentation i helped her with, but nothing as bad as this

I’m wondering what her background and relationship with her parents are bc Asian culture often has a lot of BOOTSTRAPS involved when it comes to mental health. I’m not sure whether or not it’s gotten better and I’m working off outdated stereotypes but I have some Vietnamese friends where it’s still very much a problem two, and this is the really difficult part, you can’t fix your friend’s problems singlehandedly. you can and should provide support, lend a sympathetic ear, and encourage her to get help—repeatedly, so long as it’s not going to piss her off and have the opposite effect. even helping her on her patent is great. but, and this is absolute murder, she has to confront her issues herself. you can’t fix or take the burden from her. if you try you will ruin yourself. it’s not selfish to reserve some time and breathing room for yourself. no one gets helped if you try to shoulder two peoples burdens and implode

Chokes McGee posted:two things here I’ve already prepared to stay with her today till we finish proofreading the patent. hopefully that will help. she’s mentioned that in China you’re considered a loser if you’re over 30 and not married and that she’s used to being a loser. maybe that’s layering on top of everything else, but I thought she was at peace with that as for taking time for myself, I plan to after this patent. hopefully everything will be all right

Condiv posted:she already exercises 2-3 times a week with a physical trainer and hates life each time sounds like she might not be doing exercise she actually enjoys / that supports improved mood lots of research that exercise is natures anti-depressant and can actually have more efficacy than anti-depressants The best exercise plan is one that you enjoy and will/want to do. If it is becoming a chore maybe time to branch out and try a new thing. Doesn't have to be in the gym. Jogging, hiking, intermural sports, power lifting, bike riding whatever. the most effective exercise plan is one you will actually do I love walking on the beach. I also love lifting weights. Whenever I am at a beach house or something like that I love to go out and pick up and throw driftwood. It is also fun for me if I am camping near body of water to go and pick up and throw heavy rocks. Just examples of how varied and non-gym orientated exercise can be EmbryoSteve has issued a correction as of 17:28 on Apr 6, 2019 |

Toxic shame is a killer, I don't know what resources there are about it in Chinese but there's plenty in English. It won't give her an immediate fix or an answer, but maybe it'll help once she can identify the problem for what it is.

I don't have any specific advice, but I just wanted to say that you're a very kind and supportive friend. You're really going above and beyond to help someone who, in addition to all the stress about the patent, sounds like she might be feeling a little out of place in a foreign country. However, please keep what Chokes said in mind and make sure to take care of yourself as well.
