  • I’m sorry but tge fact that we can’t even say “Fuck Christmas” is part of the problem. toxic positivity is baked into the holiday. it adds pressure to an already dark time

    historically the holiday was about banding together through the darkest part of winter, so you are definitely speaking from a place of tradition, but…

    we’re allowed to feel differently from the culturally accepted way of thinking about this holiday, even if we all enjoy it. fuck christmas.



  • I mean it’s absolutely nuts how many people this building holds. I’m guessing that the majority of towns across the majority of the US land area have populations smaller than this one building. Probably likewise throughout most of Europe. The population density of this building is crazy. 115/km^2 (apparently the building is 260km^2)

    no… that’s not how that works.

    But I also understand that it is the cheapest option available, as the best option is therapy,

    outcomes of both treatments combined are superior to outcomes from either alone. SSRIs are just a tool to help you retrain your brain more easily during the course of behavioral modifications, which a therapist typically helps you identify and implement

    they’re powerful which makes them difficult to use, i get it. finding the right medication can be exhausting, because you need to build up the drug in your body to have an effect and you need to titrate off to safely stop the drug. so it’s a long game of trial and error.

    But I can assure you that psych meds are ridiculously important for managing certain conditions.

    i really wish the fuckers who tote pharmaceutical population control conspiracies would just spend a weekend in the Before Times when people with mundane mental disorders by today’s standards were locked up and abused. yeah, totally randy, it’s lexapros fault your life is a mess, you’d be way better having a manic episode in 1700
