Is this a Mental Health Doc, or for the physical ailments?

Let me introduce you to something that has had a transformative effect on my life. It is tried and tested and not just theoretical. It really does work, for me at least! It revolves around the assumption that your habits are essentially the drivers of what you do. Without the habit, you are left...

Do the doc meetings help out much? I can imagine the CBD thing getting into a nice little routine, a bit like when I go to my local coffee shop and order the same thing each day: medium cappuccino extra hot takeaway cup + biscotti. That is until they changed the brand of biscotti to a rubbish...

I started to get a bit of toothache early last night. Then, for some inexplicable reason, I can't stop wiggling the thing!! Why is that?

Do you do Yoga then? The CBD, pardon my ignorance, is it something you smoke mostly?

Behave!

I just gave you a Like to feed your addiction.

Insane_AI, do you find the CBD oil helps with the anxiety too?

I have a friend of mine who was diagnosed with MS about 3 years ago. She was inexplicably collapsing, legs giving way and so on. Saw so many doctors and specialists and they had no idea what was going on. And then the diagnosis came. So she tried some cannabis. She rolled her joint but put the...

Hey it's great to see people taking this simple test. Very quick to do and a bit of fun. Gets you thinking about the different aspects of your personality. The Hexaco test is more in depth, takes a bit longer but is great for discovering new things about yourself. Found here...

I've always said relationships can bring the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Had to Google that. Nothing like that is legal over here in the UK, yet! I know it is all changing over in the USA.

To my mind, I think it is a way to meld what you experienced and learnt during the day, with what you already know. By suspending the critic in your mind, you can more easily create a story to merge your experiences, since it doesn't matter if the story is nuts! Imagine how hard it would be to...

These Likes are the modern age jelly belly. They give each and everyone of us a nice dopamine hit. If you like that description, you know what to do! :ROFLMAO:

What if this clever machine had the exact same structure of the brain, but instead of being all guey and squishy, it was hardware? It thought the identical same thoughts as the human brain, but it was silicon. Would it still not be sentient? To be sentient, is the defining characteristic "it...

There is another app called Cintanotes which is a bit more lightweight I think. Sometimes I like a nice lightweight app that loads quickly and not slowed down by a bunch of features I wouldn't use in a million years.

Yes, mindfulness seems to be the next big thing. I do meditation every day to try to clear my head. There are all sorts of benefits association with. I hope to rewire myself back to normality! I am a little unclear on what mindfulness actually involves, but I must get onto that because it is...

Oh yes, I forgot you said you work in that field anyway, so I bet you see a lot. Even Churchill was a depressive, same for an earlier prime minister of was it Sweden, or something like that. Then again, there are those outside of the clinical definition of "mental illness" who also have their...

Thanks for sharing Fifi. I never knew that. Sometimes you need those troughs in life to appreciate the peaks. or you can run along like I do with no troughs and peaks, in a state of zombification! When you say your mental health problems are still bubbling under the surface, may I ask what you...

I read that 20% of people in America have mental illness. I think in the past it was all brushed under the carpet, but we have better and more nuanced understanding nowadays, as the vocabulary that describes various forms of illness has been created!
