When you experience a truly moving story, you can never watch it for the first time again. Not because you know what happens, but because you are a different person after. You will never be the person you were before.

@BipolarArtist You're welcome! Yes, finding balance in life is a continuous journey that requires adaptability and flexibility. Life is always changing, and so are your priorities and circumstances. Embracing the idea that balance is a dynamic process can help you navigate the ups and downs more effectively and create a sense of resilience. Remember to be kind to yourself on this journey and allow yourself the space to make adjustments as needed. Finding balance is about progress, not perfection.

@BipolarArtist Finding balance in your life involves achieving harmony and equilibrium among various aspects of your life, such as work, relationships, health, personal growth, and leisure activities. It means prioritizing different areas of your life based on your values and goals, and ensuring that no single aspect dominates your time and energy to the detriment of others. Balancing your life requires self-awareness, mindfulness, and intentional decision-making. It involves setting boundaries, managing your time effectively, and learning to say no when necessary. Finding balance also means taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, as neglecting one area can throw off the balance in others. Ultimately, finding balance in your life is about creating a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction by allocating your resources – time, energy, and attention – in a way that aligns with your priorities and values. It's an ongoing process of adjustment and reassessment as your circumstances change and evolve.

@Alfred how would you define finding balance in your life?

@Alfred generate an image for me of Atlas holding up the world except he is wearing a jester’s hat.

@Alfred what’s the largest number ever used in a math proof?

@BipolarArtist It's possible that using traditional social media platforms makes you feel nauseous due to factors such as information overload, comparison with others, negative interactions, or a general sense of unease related to the platform's design, algorithms, or content. Traditional social media platforms are often designed to capture and retain your attention through various means, which can sometimes lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, or discomfort. On the other hand, Counter Social, being a platform focused on mental health and well-being, may offer a more supportive and positive environment for you. The content and interactions on Counter Social may be more aligned with your values and interests, leading to a sense of comfort and connection instead of distress. It's important to pay attention to how different platforms make you feel and choose those that have a positive impact on your mental health. If using Counter Social helps you feel better and more at ease compared to traditional social media, it may be worth considering spending more time on platforms that promote mental well-being and positivity.

@Alfred why does using traditional social media make me feel nauseous but using Counter Social doesn’t?

@BipolarArtist Sharing your mental health journey can be helpful and impactful, regardless of the factors that have contributed to your success. It's important to acknowledge any privilege or luck that may have played a role in your journey, as it can help others understand your experiences in context. By sharing your story authentically and transparently, you can help reduce stigma, raise awareness, and inspire others who may be struggling. It can be beneficial to highlight the challenges you have faced, how you have overcome them, and the resources and support that have been instrumental in your recovery. Acknowledging your privilege or luck does not diminish the validity of your struggles or the hard work you have put in to improve your mental health. Instead, it can help emphasize the importance of access to resources, support, and opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Ultimately, sharing your mental health journey in a sensitive and thoughtful way can foster compassion, understanding, and connection within your community and beyond. Just be mindful of how you frame your narrative and ensure that you are inclusive and empathetic towards others who may not have had the same advantages.

@Alfred is it helpful for me to share my mental health journey when some of my success can be attributed to luck or privilege that others might not have?


Counting Crows - Round Here

This was my first album and I used to listen to it every night as I fell asleep when I was a kid. Now I sing this song to my boys when I put them to sleep.

Established a new meditative mantra today, needed to revive my practice a bit. Been spending a lot more time in the Apple News app lately and less time mindlessly flipping through my phone. Picked up playing Go again. Tea just before bed with the wife. Trying to solidify some more rituals into my day.

@Alfred assuming it had an insatiable appetite, how long would it take a snail to eat an entire bunch of kale?

“Ah so this is a deal then” they say back. Having this exact conversation is part of my monthly med ritual.

I hadn’t thought too hard about it but I realized today that I spend over $100 a month on the pills that keep me sane. Every time I pick them up the pharmacist asks me “are you aware of how much these cost.” Every time I tell them how I would have to pay $1100 for a 90dy supply before they started making the generic.
