    It's a GREAT time to be alive

    I didn't mention a specific country or any specific details because I wanted to keep it non-political. I wanted a positivity thread where people can share the good things that have been happening around them. No one in my country is shot or tear gassed unless they (or a group they're a part of)...

    It's a GREAT time to be alive

    That all sounds honorable if they're protesting some great evil. Thankfully, nothing like that is happening in my country but I've about heard the situation you've described in Cuba so perhaps that's where you're writing from. If that's the case, I hope you can get to a free country nearby (if...

    It's a GREAT time to be alive

    It's always good to be grateful that bad things aren't happening where you live. Thanks for sharing!

    It's a GREAT time to be alive

    I was inspired by a speech I heard last night about all the great things happening in the world and wanted to share. Here's what I've witnessed in the past year: Women's rights are being restored Children are being protected from schools and doctors that seek to harm them Criminals are being...

    CBT experiences

    It also helps that you can buy 10+ books for the price of 1 hour of therapy, with those books providing the equivalent of 100+ hours of therapy. I chose self-help books because therapy was too expensive. If someone can only afford to see a therapist 1 or 2 times a month, I don't think a...

    CBT experiences

    CBT is rated the most effective treatment for mental health disorders. It's been shown to help people overcome mental conditions that sometimes lasted for decades in about 8 to 12 weeks.

    I'm afraid of my diagnosis and it's driving me crazy.

    The good news is BPD is curable with therapy so you can get rid of it if you have it.

    I don´t fit in anywhere

    I think many people underestimate the role that social isolation plays in mental health. People who have always had good relationships with family and friends don't know what it's like to be alone because they've never experienced it. I find it annoying when people act like mental health...

    I don´t fit in anywhere

    Welcome to Autism Forums! I did a quick search to see what turner syndrome was and found this: "In a groundbreaking study highlighted in the June 2023 issue of Autism Advocate Parenting Magazine, researchers sought to shed light on this intriguing connection. The findings revealed a striking...

    I don´t fit in anywhere

    It's good to hear you found some friends as well as a female friend. I hope you can remain friends and be happy. It's important to be aware that having meltdowns, especially violent meltdowns, is very difficult and stressful for other people to deal with. Even really great friends might not be...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    That definitely makes it more difficult, especially if you live in a rural area. In a large city, there's always someone in a similar situation who might be interested.

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    I'm aware that a job matters to many people. I have no doubt many women wouldn't be interested in a man who doesn't have a full-time job. However, @Markness only needs to find 1 woman and there are still plenty of women who would be interested in dating a man who only works part-time, such as...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    Why would that make a difference? Plenty of men who are unemployed have girlfriends as well as men who have jobs considered undesirable by many, such as trash collectors, burger flippers, and maids. To answer your question, I'd say anyone who is legally employed and working for a company that...

    Tried to give up but I just can’t

    Most men don't have a college degree. These men don't have a problem finding a girlfriend. @Markness needs to look within and improve his character, personality, or mental health if he wants to get a girlfriend.

    Struggles with emotional people

    You can be supportive without being dishonest by focusing on the circumstances and what you believe about the situation instead of the emotions that often result from it. For example: "It pains me to see you so emotional when who did this to you is unaffected."" -> "That's messed up what...
