@TheDrPinky kudos on that step ❤️ and for
@dntlookbehindu and others, the most effective antidote I’ve found for anxiety and anger and bitterness is the slow, consistent, and intentional practice of gratitude. Somebody I love once wrote “spiritual formation is the slowest of all human movements”, and learning to be very patient with myself in this area has also helped.

we are expected to have a quarter inch of ice and a foot of snow... i dont know if the order matters, but i'd prefer the snow first.

@dntlookbehindu Yup, time to make sure I have the gas cans full in case we need the generator.. And lucky for me, we got an oil delivery today, so we should be able to avoid freezing..

It’s Friday. How is everyone holding up?

@TheDrPinky My therapist had me do the whole medical depression and anxiety assessment thing where you rate various things on a scale of not at all to nearly everyday, and let's be real, that was artificially inflated due to recent events.

@XenoPhage @dntlookbehindu @circuitswan @darkuncle @crankylinuxuser @mav @sciaticnerd @nuintari @jerry @ajn142 @threadzilla @jwgoerlich @riley @dustinfinn @pivot @Aneilan @thegibson @firefly @lintile @JaysonEStreet @montar @cillic @D4rkm4tter @gillis @brianrphillips @lil_lost @zenrandom @failOpen @BabblingGeek @rand0h @Ajediday @rayredacted

@TheDrPinky Will do.

That's not the worst part though. I think if they're honest on the form, they'd score higher.

Why? I do not trust them. They have required reporting requirements.

So, no.

@crankylinuxuser Trust me, I know where the lines are, there are certain things my therapist will never learn. Am I fine with them assessing me as having depression and anxiety? Sure.
