Well that's a massive red flag. You should definitely get a second opinion.

Yes definitely pull it out. Celebrate any progress in the right direction. Write down one word. Fill out one tiny section. Now positively reinforce it - that section was easy, nice. If that's what you get done today then so be it. The next section will be easier.

Huh, I've heard that commercial displays are the way to go. What do you mean when you say they are over engineered?

Pretty sure you're talking about the Svalboard. I don't think it uses chunks of words though. Each finger has access to 5 keys and you can map any layout. https://svalboard.com/

But maybe you're thinking of stenography where you have fewer keys but you press them in combinations (chords) instead of individually. That looks crazy fast. https://youtu.be/7jVXrX5TDk4 https://www.artofchording.com/introduction/#stenography

I played through kotor 1 and 2 recently and experienced a lot of crashes. Eventually made it through, but prepare for some frustration.

Part of me wants to go live in the woods and forget about society. The other part is frantically trying to prepare for the rising threat of fascism spreading to my country. I'm getting pretty good at selectively dissociating.

Keep it up! I finished in my mid 30s. Toughest thing I've ever done, but entirely worth it.

It opens up options that your future self may want/need. There are many potential barriers to treatment, you really don't want to deal with these when you actually need to rely on those services.

Advice depends on location, some systems are harsh. Try to find groups in your area. You will be responsible for your outcome. Health professionals provide guidance and facilitate treatment. Medications can make things easier and enable more reliable behavior, but can be quite user-specific. Professional guidance highly advised.

Try reading this. It's dense, but extremely informative. https://annas-archive.org/* md5/1a4afb16e9cd8cd7799697ad09c4d08a

Just wanted to say that I understood your joke immediately and it gave me a good laugh. Irony in text is tricky. These are triggering times so I can see how people got confused...

You're gonna have to be more specific
