Between stimulus & response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth & freedom. — Victor Frankl

I have some ideas on how to solve this, but I’d love to get your take on how to approach it— Goal: Build an autonomous safety net that can (1) recognize when Alex is slipping and (2) apply aid that actually lifts him, without pulling explicit effort from his friends or from Alex himself. Problem framing: At its core, we’re trying to deliver meaningful support to Alex—catching or soothing his distress—without leaning on Sarah (or any of her 20 analogues) and, in one scenario, without requiring any active involvement from Alex himself. In other words, how do we detect “Alex needs a boost” and then actually give him one, while keeping both Sarah-style friends and Alex himself out of the loop?

women catch the worst smoke from big pharma—pitched pills to numb the feels on one end, then slung magic beans to shrink into that girly ‘fit’ ideal on the other men, really boys, were sold on ADHD for a while with adderall, but we mostly understand that as bad now. in reality, they mostly just needed to be active instead of caged.

The theory that depression is caused by a brain chemical imbalance, is a hypothesis recanted by its originator decades ago due to lack of evidence— the main areas of serotonin research provide no consistent evidence of an association between serotonin and depression (not even correlation, let alone causation).

toxic positivity is the pressure to only display positive emotions and suppress or dismiss any negative feelings—even when those negative emotions are valid and appropriate. in other words: it’s the idea that “no matter how bad things are, you should stay happy, grateful, or optimistic.” on the surface, it looks like encouragement, but underneath, it invalidates real human experiences.

tldr; If someone hasn't used logic and reason to form their opinion, then using logic and reason to change their mind likely won't work because the foundation of their belief isn't based on rational thinking. It's not you, it's them.

Today was my last day at therapy. Take aways from these 13 weeks. It feels profound to me and finally a few things feels crystal clear. What I state in writing has the risk of sounding simple. However now I feel the sentence rather than knowing it purely. (declarative ->procedural knowledge) All seems to be super counterintutive. - Relinguish the need to be happy and feel good. You do not have to feel good and you do not need to be happy. - Act "as if" when you do not feel like and you can reach authenticity in context. i.e House is leaking and you are meeting a person. Focus on why you are happy to see the person in front of you. It feels "as if" first but then you see that is what is real only. - Critic voice exists. (Shout out if you do not have one. I have questions). And the reason it is very good in short term games to get you to move. Anything useless would not exist innit. If you are playing long term games, it becomes extremely useless, worse disruptive.
