I have depression, OCD, social anxiety, and executive dysfunction (possibly caused by autism and its consequences on social life), combined with very low motivation for pretty much everything. My psychiatrist wants to prescribe me a very high dose of sertraline (200mg). However, I’m worried that it could make my already flattened emotional state even more numb and potentially reduce my motivation even further.

My biggest source of motivation right now is actually the anxiety and panic I have about my future. I’m constantly afraid of what will become of me if I don’t get my life together. I’m worried that if sertraline takes away this anxiety, I might lose the only thing that currently pushes me to do anything.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Especially people who already had low motivation and emotional blunting before taking sertraline?

I’ve already taken 150 mg of sertraline in the past, but I stopped taking it because I wasn't sure whether the emotional blunting and low motivation were actually caused by sertraline or whether they were mainly the result of my depression and social isolation at the time. Also this was a few years ago so I forgot the specific effects it had on me.

What sertraline definitely caused, though, was sexual dysfunction. This was very noticeable and one of the main reasons I eventually stopped taking it. However in my state rn I would prefer that over my negative emotions

So now I’m unsure whether I should be worried about the emotional blunting getting worse with a higher dose, or whether what I experienced back then was simply my depression and isolation.

In letzter Zeit bin ich am Überlegen mit Bird Watching anzufangen, da mir vorstelle, dass es sich evtl. anfühlt wie Pokemon, bloß in der Realität.

Aber ich frage mich, was genau der Reiz in der dauerhaften Praxis ist. Was genau macht euch Spaß daran? Wie verhindert ihr, dass euch langweilig wird? Warum genau Vögel? Sind es nicht eher eindimensionale. vorhersehbare und "langweilige" Tiere?

Wenn die Varianz der Arten der Reiz ist, hätte ich eher gedacht, dass "Insect Watching" reizvoller ist. Wenn Tiere generell, dann hätte ich eher Tiere mit mehr Intelligenz erwartet, mit mehr Varianz im individuellen Charakter. Sind Vögel vielleicht nur ein kompromiss dieser zwei Faktoren?

Bitte versucht möglichst real von euren Empfindungen zu berichten, nicht zu übertreiben oder zu romantisieren, damit es möglichst nachvollziehbar ist. Ich denke ich habe bloß noch nicht das richtige "Mindset" entdeckt.

I have 0 experience. Ive got 3 perfumes, all as presents over the years. I really like them (especially Wolfang Joop Freigeist), however after only one spray, the smell is incredibly strong. Its independent of the specific perfume. I sometimes see reels of people spraying multiple sprays and now wonder if im doing something wrong. Do the do half pressses or somthing? I often get comments its too strong fo a smell

In meiner 3. Therapiestunde meinte meine Therapeutin, dass Sie zwar eine Kurzzeittherapie starten wird, aber danach wahrscheinlich an eine Klinik verweisen wird. In einer Klinik war ich schon, das hat 0 gebracht. Es gab genauso wie ambulant einmal die Woche Therapie, und ansonsten nur "Filler"-Programm, was zwar okay war, aber nicht so wirklich effektiv oder produktiv. Sachen wie Sport, Kunst oder Ergotherapie. Ich vermute, dass Sie mich einfach nicht behandeln möchte, jedoch es nicht direkt sagt, um mich nicht zu kränken.

Leider ist mir in dem Moment nicht in den Kopf gekommen, sie nach dem Grund zu fragen, jetzt ist sie aber erstmal 1 Monat im Urlaub, und ich zebreche mir ein bisschen den Kopf darüber.

Konkret geht es um Depris, Zwangsstörung, Soziale Phobie, alles zwar recht stark ausgeprägt, aber ich bin dennoch eindeutig alltagsfähig. Mehr als in der Klinik

Hallo,

ich bin in einem Dilemma. Ich hatte gerade meinen zweiten Therapietermin, zu dem die Hausaufgabe war, dass ich meine Ziele der Therapie aufschreiben soll. Was ich gemacht habe, ist, dass ich in meiner Notizapp alle Einträge der letzten Jahre durchgegangen bin, die mich über mich selbst stören (auch so Sachen wie Arroganz, zu hohe Maßstäbe, ...), wodurch die Liste ewig lang wurde und auch nicht mehr ganz aktuell ist. Die sind wir heute in der Therapiesitzung durchgegangen, und dann meinte meine Therapeutin, dass es extrem viel ist und eine ambulante Behandlung somit nicht das Richtige, sondern eher stationär.

Gerade habe ich nochmal nachgedacht und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass ich die Hausaufgabe ganz falsch gemacht habe. Die Hausaufgabe war ja, dass ich meine Therapieziele aufschreiben soll, was ich eigentlich überhaupt nicht gemacht habe. Meine Therapeutin meinte auch, dass sie sich jetzt erstmal überlegen soll, was sie als Diagnosen aufschreibt, weil die Liste so lang ist.

Jetzt meine Überlegung: Soll ich ihr eine E-Mail mit der Klarstellung schicken, dass ich die Hausaufgabe ganz falsch angegangen bin, und dazu meine eigentlichen Ziele der Therapie, eine Liste, die deutlich kürzer ist? Oder ist das eine Grenzüberschreitung außerhalb der Therapiesitzung? Das Prbolem ist, dass der nächste Termin erst irgendwann nächsten Monat ist.

Edit: Stationär war ich schonmal, hat leider nicht so viel geholfen, vor allem weil es kaum Therapie gab. Meine befürchtung ist, dass wenn sie mich nicht weiterbehandeln möchte, ich keinen anderen Platz finde, da mein Fall dann als "zu komplex" gebrandmarkt ist

im not feeling good lmao, way to much. i guess i monstly wanted to finnally have visuals (i never get them), but visuals are very low. mostly body reaktion and emmotoinal work way to much at that pace. not sure how people enjoy it. i guess the emotional work, but the body reaction is sooo unpleasent (shaking, tigly extremetiess, jittering

edit: i know its only a trip and will come down in few hours, but i really looked forward this for weeks and it being such a letodwn is kinda low

I've been doing my first cut for a few weeks now, but progress has been pretty slow. Part of the problem is that I'm probably eating more "hidden" calories than I realize, and on top of that I sometimes get really strong cravings and end up giving in.

Because of that, I've only lost about 2 kg over the last 1–2 months. At the same time, I've definitely noticed that I'm getting weaker and have less energy.

For example, I'm getting fewer reps on bicep exercises, and for cable external rotations I even had to drop an entire weight level because I could only manage 2 reps with the weight I normally use. Strangely enough, my back exercises haven't gotten weaker at all, they've stayed the same or maybe even improved slightly.

How do you guys handle training during a cut?

I've read that it's better to lower the weight and increase the reps since recovery is noticeably worse while cutting, which also increases the risk of injury. I'm not sure if that's actually the best approach, but honestly, training like that is a lot less fun.

Hello,

I have a question regarding the postprocessor argument options. There are options like Thumbnailsconvertor or Fixupstretched. It sounds like it fixes the 16:9 thumbnails when downloading Youtube videos as music files and embedding the thumbnails as the music cover, and converts them to 1:1 covers. Is it really what it does? How would I use them? The usage examples are kind of cryptic to me. If this really does what I suspect, can someone please give me an example of how to use it:

--postprocessor-args NAME:ARGS
--postprocessor-args NAME:ARGS

Give these arguments to the postprocessors. Specify the postprocessor/executable name and the arguments separated by a colon ":" to give the argument to the specified postprocessor/executable. Supported PP are: Merger, ModifyChapters, SplitChapters, ExtractAudio, VideoRemuxer, VideoConvertor, Metadata, EmbedSubtitle, EmbedThumbnail, SubtitlesConvertor, ThumbnailsConvertor, FixupStretched, FixupM4a, FixupM3u8, FixupTimestamp and FixupDuration. The supported executables are: AtomicParsley, FFmpeg and FFprobe. You can also specify "PP+EXE:ARGS" to give the arguments to the specified executable only when being used by the specified postprocessor. Additionally, for ffmpeg/ffprobe, "_i"/"_o" can be appended to the prefix optionally followed by a number to pass the argument before the specified input/output file, e.g. --ppa "Merger+ffmpeg_i1:-v quiet". You can use this option multiple times to give different arguments to different postprocessors. (Alias: --ppa)
