Mental health for me as well.

That's the point of https://rationaldino.substack.com/ and this pseudonymous account. Separately I have other children who were impacted by COVID and lockdowns and are part of https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/mental-health-liberal-g.... That's also been hard.

All of this is made more complicated by the fact that I regard psychology as having a lot of pseudoscience in it. Feynman was right to call them that in https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm. It took them 40 years to realize that he was right about the importance of replication. But they still haven't accepted the rest of what he said.

For anyone dealing with mental health things, see https://www.therapistaid.com/

You can work through most of the worksheets online for free, and it helped me understand mental health better than I ever had. I think they charge $9 per month to download PDFs of the worksheets, which is cheaper than therapy with a professional confuser.

I am not affiliated with them, and I do not make money off them. I am a former customer.

Thank you for the recommend. Given where I now am, I don't believe that I need this. But it is a resource I will likely forward to others.
