That generation wore afros, rocked all sorts of fancy hairstyles, then grew up, went bald, and started hating young people with hair.

Coupled with their religious psychosis, we suffered at their hands.

Girls, have you noticed that what many men consider a special date at a restaurant is just a regular lunch in female friendships?

The wellness industry makes $6.8 trillion a year selling you the idea that healing looks like a latte and a journal. Antidepressant use has risen sharply in every major country that tracks it.

The most effective behavioral treatments for anxiety, trauma, and OCD share a core mechanism called extinction learning. Your brain can only unlearn a fear response by facing it in a controlled setting. Avoiding the fear keeps the circuit intact. Triggering it is how you change it.

Prolonged Exposure therapy for PTSD, ranked among the most effective treatments by the American Psychological Association, has patients revisit traumatic memories in detail, repeatedly, across weeks. The National Center for PTSD has documented that symptoms often stay elevated, or briefly get worse, in the early weeks of treatment before improvement arrives. The protocol is built around this.

James Pennebaker at UT Austin has studied expressive writing for 40 years. His research shows that journaling can improve immune function and psychological wellbeing. But the version that works has patients write about their worst memories, their darkest thoughts, the things they have never told anyone, for 20 minutes straight across four consecutive days. Participants often reported lower mood in the days right after early sessions. The improvement came later. The casual gratitude journaling common on wellness social media is a different practice, with a much thinner clinical evidence base.

For OCD, the gold standard treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention. A therapist deliberately triggers a patient's worst obsessive fears and blocks the compulsion that would relieve the anxiety. Anxiety climbs. The patient sits with it. Over weeks, the brain updates how it reads danger. It is one of the most documented treatment effects in psychiatry, and it works by temporarily making things harder.

Brain scans taken during therapy explain why. Both depression and anxiety involve a hyperactive amygdala, the brain's alarm system, and an underperforming prefrontal cortex, the part that regulates emotional responses. Effective therapy physically rewires this relationship. The brain builds new connections between these regions. That process is hard on the brain and takes months.

The WHO puts depression as one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting more than 330 million people. That figure has not declined during the wellness industry's growth. Pennebaker's own framing of why expressive writing works: the brain builds a clear story around a chaotic memory, lowering the mental effort of keeping it buried. The active ingredient, across every evidence-based approach, is the willingness to make things temporarily harder.

La romantización de la "salud mental" en redes nos está vendiendo la idea de que sanar es tomar café en tazas lindas y escribir en un diario, cuando en realidad "sanar" es un proceso asqueroso, violento, solitario dónde eres tú peleando con tu mente

This is the only crime, that the crime scene is the victim’s body.

If someone robbed you at home, you can change houses. If they robbed you on the road, you can change routes. You get raped, you can’t leave your body, unless you die. You live in a crime scene till your death.

First step to fixing this country is building some proper libraries in every state. Our biggest challenge is the olodo uprising and it’s not getting better if olodos keep rising.

The day I treated a Prof of anesthesiology . She tried everything to avoid medical words , she kept referring to me as sir until I asked her where is the abdominal pain located , she said around the right iliac fossa . I just paused 😒

it was a 7 year old girl

they found out because she was being hypersexual in school

[No filter Skin @NoFilterSkin]

Bought these avocados maybe 20 days ago....I let them ripen and then put them in a bowl of water and set them in the fridge. Supposedly, when you place them in water, this stops the ripping process. The cut avocado is 20 days old.

Men are smart. Men can read a room. Men can simply choose not to put themselves in vulnerable situations. This man should have protected himself by not walking around naked. He is giving wrong ideas to women. He is responsible for his own safety.
Men should:
- cover up (long sleeves, baggy clothes, nothing “tempting”)
- never leave the house after dark, alone
- not travel without a male chaperone, just in case
- avoid eye contact with women on the street
- text a friend their cab number, license plate, and live location
- keep a hand near the emergency button at all times
- not smile, not be “too friendly,” not give “mixed signals”
- not drink anything they didn’t pour themselves
- check the back seat before getting in any vehicle
- carry pepper spray, just in case a woman gets “the wrong idea”

[Mohd Modey @sarkinnomaa]

Now imagine this girl after being rap#d three times a day for 20 days, then she sees the news that the government has forgiven and rehabilitated 700 bandits.
Imagine going through all of that, only for the government to rehabilitate them???

I hate this government, bro. 😭😭😭

It's telling that "the best country you can live in as a Muslim" is not any of the actual Islamic countries.
