Politicians Drinking
With all this talk about politicians drinking beer these days,💭 I have to admit I drink less and less of it. 🍺As I’ve gotten older, I really don’t enjoy getting drunk, I don’t like the hang overs😵 or the even just the cost of alcohol.💰
Sure, I’ll occasionally have a beer or two when camping⛺ but I have all but given up on drinking at home or even when I’m on the road for work.🍻 I guess when I was younger, alcohol made me more relaxed but now it’s really kind of not that great, a lot of empty calories and honestly hang overs are really bad. 💩
Why weren’t mental health resources offered to September 11th hijackers?
I was listening to the BBC News last night and they were discussing the pandemic and it’s impact on suicides across the globe. The conclusion that the depressive nature of pandemic actually caused a reduction of suicides globally, because depressed people lack the energy to kill themselves. And they had then offered the standard boilerplate language about how help is available for anybody with thoughts of self-injury.
However, after the September 11th attacks, I can’t remember a single news report suggesting that mental health services are available, before hijacking an airplane, blowing up a building or killing people. I also can’t think of a crime story, be a murder or shooting, where they suggest to anyone thinking of engaging in murder or terrorism think again — that there are alternatives and that there are people out there willing to listen.
Why don’t they suggest that murders and terrorists step back and think about their actions before committing crime? It is is denialism upon the news media that we are no different from the terrorists, murders and criminals? Is it a belief that suicidal people are like ourselves while criminals are different? I think it would be good if news media would remind perspective terrorists and murders that there is alternative for their lives — to step back from the ledge and look forward to how they could improve their own lives and the world too.
It’s all in my head 🧠
One of the most liberating things is to realize that anxiety and mental illness more generally is not real – it’s all in your imagination. Now all the doctors, medication companies and drug dealers don’t want you to hear this – but if it’s not real it doesn’t matter. Anxiety and delusions aren’t real, they are something contrived in your mind based on focusing on things that may exist in this world but have a much lesser of an importance then you want to subscribe to them.
One of the worse things to say to somebody who is anxious is that their thoughts matter. If it’s bothering you then its a problem. Not it’s not. It’s only a problem because you, yourself is making it a problem. Literally, all you need to do is laugh a bit, find something else to interest your troubled mind. Mental illness is not real, it’s merely a construct and a label that imprisons one’s mind when one adopts the label.
