it seems like you didn't quite get the responses you were hoping for.

i appreciate your questioning and attempt to reframe the JFK speech in a modern context. it makes sense to me that he might have been speaking about some underground conspiracy which is still in operation today.

👍

well done. best philosophical/psychological post in the thread.

i find life so unsatisfying that if, when i die, the afterlife has any resemblance AT ALL to this current reality, i am going to be fucking pissed.

like, any version of occupying a physical body in some sort of 3-dimensional space and surrounded by other physical beings is just, so.... ugh.

i am over it.

i have decided to call in the morning and find out what their scheduling looks like for the next couple of months, and also what prescribing looks like if we want to go that route.

those two pieces of information, and also simply making contact, will help me get my mind right about it.

this is excellent advice. my immediate response to it is, of course, to cringe and shy away. but i admit that a bit of journaling would raise my confidence level a lot.

i feel this so much.

i have a referral on the table to begin sessions with a new therapist and have been putting off making the appointment because of the tedium of "getting it all out there" only to find out months from now that (for whatever reason) it was a wasted effort.

i honestly don't know what progress would look like. does it make sense for me to get my expectations in order before making the appointment?... or should i just jump in?

this is not a federal issue.

like, how can this EO have any effect on your local community softball league?

you are describing "chemical dependence".

addiction is more than that.

genuinely great answer. thanks.

agreed. the quips are a little too quippy, which is weird because they are all so well written and delivered and the pacing is natural. so it ends up with me wondering why i am lacking these type of interaction in my own life.

as a self professed techno snob, i expected that to be garbage and instead it was accurate and enjoyable. thanks!

in my mid-life adulthood, it has been a major revelation for me to discover that my most enduring personality trait is that i will always seek to end any interaction as quickly as possible, with as little damage as possible.

for my entire life, as soon as i can get get out, i do get out.
