Dear BYOB, I know that this is The Chill Zone™ but I'm becoming anxious and stressed about the amount of time I spend on the forums, which I strongly feel is the opposite of BYOB. It's crunch time and I need to spend time studying and really working in order to achieve my quite modest dreams. Can some kind admin please probate me for a random amount of time between three and six weeks? Yours in friendship and posting,  Smerdyakov

instead of probating him, a mod/ik should put in for a ban because it's unhealthy to not have the ability to just not use a website

Orks were my main, and I had about 2500 points including 120 slugga boys, 60 gretchin (2nd edition plastics) 3 zzap guns and a dreadnaught made out of pewter I could never get glued together, plus a looted Leman Russ and a Warboss in power armor with a few nobs NOT in power armor. I had some wartracks that I painted really well, but they're honestly awful vehicles and not worth it. Then I picked up 1500 points of space marines that were badly painted but mostly on bikes (not dark angels, don't ask!) Then I saw a 750ish point genestealer cult army for like 60 pounds plus 20 pounds shipping (pounds are apparently worth more than dollars fyi), but all the vehicles were non-GW plastic toys and they wouldn't let me use them in local tournaments. Still had a p. cool magus, though, along with a hybrid squad. I can't say I had a bad childhood, but I wish I'd spent more time developing real skills and practical knowledge, like C++ and how to buy clothes in my size.

There's been some real cool research on depression lately too http://discovermagazine.com/2014/julyaug/9-depressions-dance-with-inflammation basically researchers are starting to find that it's a symptom of an actual physiological condition (allergic inflammation, more or less) rather than a psychological condition of its own. the depression appears to be a natural defense mechanism, like how you get really sluggish and your mood gets crappy when you're sick - your body wants to keep you down so you don't make it worse. |

CBT is just a fancy way of saying smack yourself for thinking negative thoughts about yourself and then stop thinking them. It works really well. |

It was weird reading that and starting to understand all the weird effects Zyrtec has on my depression. If I stop taking it I get really whacked out for a few days, can't sleep more than an hour or two at a time because of unreal nightmares, etc. Partially because it's a corticosteroid as well, so a neurotransmitter. It does really hosed up things to me. |

I stopped playing video games about two weeks ago by uninstalling all of them and I haven't relapsed since, though I still spend too much time online. About half my video game time got converted into work time, but the other half of my video game time got poured into unspeakable, unnatural acts, like refreshing threads every 2 minutes and posting dozens of times a day. Edit: Actually, I would probably prefer to be banned even if it means losing my snazzy new avatar. Whoever would like to exchange av vouchers for canned meat products, please post your forwarding fax information and my licensed agents will be in touch with you.

I don't like how much of depression treatment is about bettering yourself. I think it should be about realizing that whatever's wrong with you isn't nearly as big as you think it is instead. Like yeah, you might not be achieving your goals, you might be upset at the way you've spent time in the past, whatever. That's true of all of us. You should try to change the way you feel about it instead of change it itself. You don't have to focus on changing anything. Just cut yourself off every time you feel a negative thought creeping in and then go about your day. Success and being a cooler and better person will come from becoming more grounded in reality and getting a better perspective on life and your problems, not from making a significant effort to be a different person. |

That's fair, but part of my problem is that I feel really good about myself when I spend all day playing Crusader Kings 2, even though that's not a viable option in the long term. I don't really have deep regrets about the past, I just want to contrast it with times in my life I've been more healthy and successful so I can identify virtuous/vicious cycles. I'm fortunate that I have access to a wide variety of mental health resources and that I have enough money saved to only have to work part time for the next 3-6 months. |

Funnypost Collabo posted:What's wrong with spending a day playing Crusader Kings 2, though? Nothing, it's a great game! The problem is that is not so much "a day" as "every day." Literally not being able to sleep because I'm thinking about how badass my Reformed Norse Kingdom of Jerusalem makes it hard to set limits or routines, because it was so goddamn cool. None of my other hobbies or obligations could compare to the delicious possibility of getting the mongols to convert to the norse faith. I was on the verge of making fan art for my own save files, which is the final level of madness. Compound this with late-game slowdown and it was taking me 12+ solid hours to get through less than fifty years. And yes, I already have 16 gigs of RAM!

I just don't see anything wrong with that, I guess. Do what you love and the rest will come naturally. Don't get hung up on thinking that your life will be any better if you're a "better person" (e.g. spend less time playing video games, whatever). If you're happy where you're at, you'll be happy elsewhere. If you're unhappy where you're at, you'll be unhappy elsewhere. I'm not telling you that you shouldn't go out and improve yourself, because that's cool too, but just keep in mind that it's not the answer to whatever you have going on psychologically. |

Honestly making fan art of your save games is pretty nerdy, but it's also a whole lot more dedication to something you enjoy than most people exhibit, and that's a cool and attractive quality to have. |

Funnypost Collabo posted:I didn't actually read that article, sorry, I just searched for the study and that was the first thing that came up. it's very useful don't get me wrong, there's tons of great research out there, but there's little in the way of larger theories to tie them together, it's just a bunch of functional theories. psychology as a science is where other sciences were a couple hundred years ago. we have tons of new technology and we're basically reaching out into the dark on this one so we really need to be encouraging new and revolutionary ideas. the scientific approach, while very useful, starts with gaping holes in our theory that fall apart when matched with our most basic and immediate experience with reality. this is why psychoanalysis has fallen out of fashion in the US, which i think is a very bad thing. psych students across the country are basically taught that Freud was "p cool i guess he formed some funny stories out of the shadows in his unscientific cave" and psychoanalytic theory is pushed aside with an eye roll while they extract some saliva from an undergrad that they made anxious a few minutes earlier with a weird cartoon or whatever psychoanalytic theory is immensely valuable but this attitude which pervades the field stifles good theory and good research. also the APA Collabo'd with the CIA in having trained psychologists develop and implement torture programs and tried to shush it up so gently caress em ☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭ |

I don't like this aspect of contemporary american psychology. it seems that in the fervor to be considered a science, psychology has thrown out what really matters in the end. I agree, Jack Lacan. The relationship between consciousness, internal biochemistry, and environment is still not well understood because it's inherently difficult to study and the current paradigm of the relevant scientific communities is focused on direct mass intervention in an apolitical way rather than looking at individual and social pathologies. I think of psychoanalysis and "talking cure" therapy in general as sort of parallel to headaches and biofeedback techniques. You can teach yourself biofeedback techniques that can partially or fully aleviate the effects of mild to moderate headaches, or you can take a pill. But for really severe migraines, you probably need to take some kind of specific medication and/or go to a doctor, because there's an overriding biological cause that's beyond your control. For a lot of stuff like bipolar, borderline personality, light OCD, some types of depression, anxiety, etc. you can probably partially fix it yourself with cognitive therapy, psychoanalysis, or not being such a whiny little bitch, and pills can be helpful supplements but not 100% necessary. But for heavy poo poo like schizophrenia, alzheimer's, brain tumors etc. exterior intervention can really help and internal strategies can only be supplementary.
