Gabbro

Anxiety and depression. I’ve gone from Lexapro to Venlafaxine to Prozac. Hard to tell if I should switch again or if I just have to feel this way until I’m employed.

7 years ago, before the day my first dog was euthanized at the vet.

Either I’ve had it alright so far or my medication is keeping it in at this point…

I enjoy things when I have a sense of progression I think. So I most enjoy lifting because of that, and when I could, the novelty of strongman was great to mix in.

I used to swim all the time but I burned out on it. I was just adding mileage and I think the only thing that kept me going was the whole body exhaustion/relaxation afterwards. As well as buying myself some bone conducting earphones so I had something to listen to instead of my own thoughts!

Alongside lifting I walk and run around with my dog for nearly an hour a day. I love my dog but we go on the same tracks around the property all the time, so it would be even more monotonous without all the podcast I listen to. Right now she’s a bit puppy-crazy, so training new things isn’t as effective, which could make it more interesting. Plus there’s no heel/agility training I can work on until she literally grows her joints.

I also kayak once or twice a month for a few days. I like it for both the adventure and the people I paddle with, even if it can feel a bit tiring being in a social situation for an extended amount of time. It’s probably my most enjoyed activity quite easily.

I go kayak-camping often, so I’ve got about 12-ish liters of water bottles. My oldest thermos is probably about 3 years though.

Return to monkey.

It’s always the people you most expect.

I wanted to point out that some health plans seem to be offering CBT (computer-based therapy)

Not to be confused with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Kbin link needs an ‘m’ for magazine ;)

It’s the only way I could have typed anything of substance for the past 2 months with a fractured elbow.

I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I’m considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don’t live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.

In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven’t needed earbuds for public transport so I don’t have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.

I fixed that problem…I never hear silence!

All I hear is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

It’s a miracle the emergency department is still free with the way our country has been going.

In Australia the main chains are total garbage. If you want takeout it’s better to buy from some local places. What I end up buying consistently is usually fish 'n chips when I’m by the seaside.

Which I still find weird because I never followed anyone on my anti-social media anyway.

I.e the 90-9-1 rule of internet culture.

New. I didn’t need to consult some name generator this time to find something I liked. I thought about getting something crude but I’m going to be using this account for quite a while so I chose this.
