  This sounds like anxiety and possibly major depressive disorder. All you can do is see a therapist, or just keep forcing yourself to get up instead of laying down and tell yourself it will get better. Just small steps for now.

  I wonder if there’s any correlation with AI killing the office job market.

  Damn that’s pretty big, hopefully they update and give a final list of affected devices. Not to mention, gotta pray the devices will see software updates to try and mitigate it.

  Both vitamin B & D are linked with depression when levels are low, but my phone must’ve assumed I only meant B and omitted the D. -__-’ But yes, a few minutes of sun each day can help a lot. Otherwise vitamins are a good way to supplement the two.

  If you can question if you’re bad or good, then you’re likely good. A bad person wouldn’t even ask the question.

  With that said it sounds like you likely have Major Depressive Disorder along with feelings of some guilt over the partner you’ve lost. My suggestion as a former psychiatrist, is you speak to your general physician, request a referral to see a therapist asap.

  In the meantime a good doctor will suggest you start a medication like Prozac (but it can take 6 months to take effect and there’s alternatives like Celexa, Zoloft, Cymbalta). And all I can suggest try getting outside more and get some vitamin B, even if it means sitting in your backyard and reading a book for 5 minutes.

  Also, the next time these thoughts come up, try practicing controlling your breathing. These thoughts are common now, so you need to try reasoning with that part of yourself, assert yourself over your negative thoughts and calmly remind yourself; you are in control. You can still make changes and it’s never too late for a second or even third chance.

  I wouldn’t be surprised. Or plastics… or steroids in meat… Or metals like Teflon.

  I remember discussing this in private school, I suggested its possible use was for portable masturbation on long trips lol.

  Nice, the number of adblocking apps on iOS is rare. Most demand subscriptions and don’t do device wide adblocking, only in Safari. Only the old version of AdGuard Pro still does it, so I haven’t updated the app in years.
