Under pressure? Ice, ice baby

Maybe to get the title, listen to the mashup – “Ice Under Pressure” – https://youtu.be/vzPbjwPDtyQ

What about when you’re in the midst of a total meltdown? How to cool off and get back to wise mind?

T – Temperature – lower your physical temperature by holding ice, splashing cold water on your face, or perhaps having some ice cream or sherbet or sorbet or freeze pops 😅

One of the ways I got through switching from one antidepressant to another was with protein shakes and smoothies. Where would you get pre-made protein shakes? Costco, of course! (Who do you love more: me or comrade Costco? It’s a play on a joke from the movie “Inner Circle” about stalinist Russia. Don’t watch it unless you really need more reasons to feel depressed). Those little cartons can…

“It was formerly a common Jewish custom to plant a tree at the birth of a child, a cedar for a boy, and a pine for a girl. When a couple married, their respective trees were cut down and used in the construction of the huppah, or bridal bower … The practice is inspired by the idea that the life and destiny of the newborn child are bound up in some mystic fashion with that of the tree. If the latter flourishes, so to will the child, but if it withers or fails to put forth shoots in due season, this is a sure sign that the child faces death or disaster. This idea - itself one form of what folklorists call the concept of the life-token - is a favorite theme of folklore and legend.”

— Theodor H. Gaster, The Holy and the Profane: Evolution of Jewish Folkways (1980)

i think the worst idea that this site has popularized vis a vis mental health is that its okay to treat your friends like therapists, and that its expected they react like one when you have an episode or breakdown

its a lot like approaching a friend and going “hey, you bandaged my cooking burn once, can you give me open heart surgery?” and getting upset when either they refuse to do so or getting hurt when they dont have the knowledge needed to do it safely.

people can support you, and they can help you out of rough patches, but relying on them for your continued functionality and stability is stressful and dangerous for everyone involved.

An Important Thing

If you are white, cis, straight, without a disability, or male–I do not hate you. Come on, that’s really not fair

But. Don’t be surprised when I lower my expectations and don’t reward you for meeting those low expectations. Your cohort does not reflect well on you
