Looks like it is packaged and it's tangerine flavored.
I like educational tv stuff and read trash like Space Raptor Butt Trilogy for fun.
Hmm...I think they gotta make that a tv series so I can better fit on this column list.
So strange that things that we take for granted are denied to someone else. I live near a beach, but it's a cold, windy beach with icy water, giant waves, and dangerous currents. It is bigger than you can imagine. Beautiful and terrifying. I live a mile and a half away, and on quiet mornings in the winter I can hear the waves roaring. My neighborhood is built on sand dunes, and the sand keeps trying to come back all the time. It's sand all the way down, as far as I can tell. Down the coast, there is a place where you can see elephant seals. I went there in high school, and I remember the wind and rain and the sand stinging my face, and the elephant seals trying to keep cool on top of the dunes, because they are adapted for the cold ocean.
I'm fascinated by knowing someone is looking for more sensory experiences, when I've spent so much time trying to stay away from cold and pain and sickness and hunger and noise. Adventures are, as Bilbo would say, nasty, uncomfortable things. But being stuck inside whether you like it or not must be maddening.
I have a suggestion, for what it's worth. If you can't go out, read novels that have really good atmosphere and take you somewhere else. Dickens comes to mind. When my life is dull an monotonous, I use books to go somewhere else and live through the experiences of the characters.
Dude, it's -25F in Grand Forks right now. Our high today was -24F. Plus we have 35mph winds making it feel like -60F

It's not necessarily about how smart you are. According to a few researchers interviewed in this episode of Radiolab (which I highly recommend), it's more than people who are bad at practicing self-deception tend to be more depressed because they don't kid themselves about how bleak the world can be. Quotes from around 59:00 if you're interested:
>"The people who were happiest were the ones who were lying to themselves more."
>
>"Those who see the world exactly as it is tend to be slightly more depressed than others."
>
>"Depressed people lie less. They see all the pain in the world, how horrible people are with each other and they tell people everything about themselves : what their weaknesses are, what terrible things they've done, and the problem is they're right."
>
>"Hiding ideas we know to be true is what we need to get by."
>
>"We're so vulnerable to being hurt that we're given the capacity to distort as a gift."
He's saying that good liars blind themselves to the truth in the same way they lie to other people. So maybe the guy referenced in this post is just an asshole liar/salesman of some kind.
The Markdown syntax turns every list item into a list starting with 1 unless you use a backslash to cancel the formatting. On desktop there's a little link below the text box when you post.
What do you mean "lifestyle changes?" You can just buy a new one off Amazon for $8.30. No lifestyle changes required.
I could write a whole paper for you on why each of these points are wrong except prozac (which I agreed with), but I'm just going to start with your first one and show you how little you understand the topic at hand, by linking some basic mental health information.
>There’s also a strong link between serious alcohol use and depression. The question is, does regular drinking lead to depression, or are depressed people more likely to drink too much? Both are possible.
>Drinking will only make depression worse. People who are depressed and drink too much have more frequent and severe episodes of depression, and are more likely to think about suicide. Heavy alcohol use also can make antidepressants less effective.
>Alcohol is a depressant. That means any amount you drink can make you more likely to get the blues. Drinking a lot can harm your brain and lead to depression.
>When you drink too much, you’re more likely to make bad decisions or act on impulse. As a result, you could drain your bank account, lose a job, or ruin a relationship. When that happens, you're more likely to feel down, particularly if your genes are wired for depression.

>The current state of the literature suggests a causal linkage between alcohol use disorders and major depression, such that increasing involvement with alcohol increases risk of depression.

I could do the same for physical inactivity and drugs as well.
If you haven't already, you might try mindfulness meditation to complement CBT. A guided meditation program like Headspace gives practical exercises to help you develop the "muscle" that gives you control over thoughts.
Our President (Mexico's) was asked about the mental health of the people that work at the government and said something similar.
Sorry it is in spanish but its fucking ridiculous.

For those that don’t already know, unlabeled plain “cinnamon” is cassia cinnamon, which contains high levels of coumarin that can build up and can eventually fuck your liver. It’s not a concern if you rarely have it, but for those that pound it down it will be an issue. This is why there are sensationalist headlines of things like the EU regulating cinnamon rolls, they are trying to prevent toxic exposure to coumarin.
Ceylon cinnamon on the other hand has orders of magnitude less coumarin. If you commonly eat cinnamon, get this kind. The taste/smell is often much milder/fruitier (sometimes disappointingly so) due to the generally lower cinnamaldehyde levels, but there are stronger varieties out there. I’m fond of this one
"Cured of alcoholism"? No. That's like saying I'm cured of MDD because I'm on a treatment plan and maintenance medication.
Being able to drink after having a history of alcohol abuse is a really interesting one however, since the US based a lot of stuff on AA, which promotes total abstinence and has a fairly low success rate, around 5-8% I think. Alcoholism in other places is treated more scientifically and some people are actually able to become light to moderate drinkers with medication and other treatment strategies.
This by no means applies to everyone dealing with addictions, but I always like to try and add nuance and scientific information if I can.

Just get off Facebook. It's full of toxic people, a culture of "friend everybody", an addictive UI and just wastes your time… not to mention all of the flagrant disregards for personal privacy.
Try Diaspora* (sort of Facebook-like) or Mastodon (sort of Twitter-like, with partial ActivityPub integration; my personal favourite).
