Re: What mental health conditions does everyone have?

I'd say the very term 'mental health' is a rather unfortunate and somewhat misleading name in itself, and is both the cause, not only of much confusion on the subject, but even adds unnecessarily to...

Re: The Weather Thread!

^ For some strange reason, the forecast itself completely passed me by!

If only Michael Fish would dress like that (to liven things up a bit). Actually, it's probably not Michael Fish now, is it?...

Re: Has the coronavirus effect your work?

Unfortunately my job is unaffected. I love being at home - there's nowhere I'd rather be - but no such luck for me.

Re: How many toilet rolls do you need to survive a pandemic?

I get through a fair amount of it, as I said. It's not all for 'number twos' though! In fact overall, I must use more of it for the 'number ones'.

For a No.1 alone, I can easily use up to 16...

Re: How many toilet rolls do you need to survive a pandemic?

I've just checked, in order to answer this important survey. Apart from the roll currently in use, I only have one spare roll in my kitchen cupboard! I'm dreading doing my weekly grocery shop...

Re: Feel like I don't know who I am anymore

I just knew I could count on your support Mr Angry Mr Nobody! :laughing:

Unfortunately, you seem to be missing the point (again!)



Not at all. I'm talking on a forum with other people....

Re: Feel like I don't know who I am anymore

The thing is, when I'm asking "Who am I", I'm going much further than you. You are already starting from a pre-existing point of view - for example, the belief that what you are (in reality) is a...

Re: Feel like I don't know who I am anymore

Or is it the other way round? That too much introspection and excessive self focus arise from social anxiety and general low self esteem?

For the introspection and self focus to be too...

Re: Feel like I don't know who I am anymore

Yes, I'd suggest it's the lack of friends and human interaction generally which make you feel you don't know yourself any more. Which, when you think about it, makes perfect sense, because how can...

Yes GI, that is exactly what he is saying. Change the way you see things, and the picture you're seeing then changes also. Just realise that you can't change the picture itself directly, only the way...

Re: Dr. Juliana Schroeder on the benefits of talking to strangers - Podcast Highlight

The trouble is, it's not quite as simple as that, is it? Because what you're saying (above) must therefore apply to everyone else as well, yes? So your personal/individual belief system is then...

Re: Dr. Juliana Schroeder on the benefits of talking to strangers - Podcast Highlight

Yes, I can see how there are benefits in taking the initiative and talking to strangers when out and about - I even sometimes do it myself, despite not naturally being a very friendly, chatty,...

Re: Is your MH puzzling to you or do you feel you have a decent grasp on it?

But is there such thing as the truth at all Deer? Or, like GI (above) are you saying the whole thing is nothing but a human construct - that it's all personal in nature and not absolute?

So it appears you're saying that people's perceptions/interpretations (of reality) are more important than the truth itself? And we therefore need to live our lives according to those current...

Re: Is your MH puzzling to you or do you feel you have a decent grasp on it?

Re: Is your MH puzzling to you or do you feel you have a decent grasp on it?

^^ I'd say it's sensible that you're not rushing out there to become 'diagnosed' with something. As you say, better to keep your options open in my opinion, rather than attach a possibly life long...

Re: Lonely Rant

To be fair, mental illness can, for obvious reasons, be a depressing subject to read about, and many, if not most people, probably wouldn't want to read your book for that very reason. The fact that...

Talking about God though, it might actually help you to put things into perspective and see the...

Re: The Autism, Asperger's and ASD Thread

When you think about it, what actually is a diagnosis anyway? At the end of the day it's just someone else's opinion. For example, you could go and pay for two separate private assessments and...

Re: Feeling no emotional connection to people, and shame

That's a big one though, isn't it - 'what it means to be human'?

In other words, what does it actually mean to be human? Of course, there are the stories we tell ourselves about what it means -...
