We can have discussion without resorting to armchair labels and namecalling towards people we think we know because they’re celebrities. You have no idea whether or not she’s a dangerous person. You only think you do. What is objectively dangerous is trying to convince others that she’s an insane psychopath because that’s your personal opinion. I’m disappointed that a fellow SA survivor wouldn’t realize this, and I hope you genuinely reflect on your opinion.

Thanks, I appreciate your concern but I’m not only relying on Watts. I’ve tried lots of other things in the past, and won’t stop trying anything I can find in the future, even if the usefulness is limited to seeing what didn’t work for someone I can relate to. A lot of this is emotional, and it’s been strangely comforting to know that he struggled with the similar issues.

I hear you, I had treatment a couple of years ago and unfortunately it left me with more questions than answers. My eating disorder counselor was a great guy, but he was using a badly outdated program with a terrible success rate, and that’s all that is currently for offer in my area. Currently I have a great therapist, but she specifies that she is not qualified to treat my eating disorder. I’m on medication for it and saw a psychiatrist for my disorder for a couple of years. Overall it’s gotten a bit better than it was years ago, but it’s still far from well managed.

I thought it would be worth exploring Watts’ speeches on addiction precisely because he did suffer from one. Sometimes firsthand experience can be helpful, and sometimes under the proper conditions we can learn from the mistakes of others. I don’t want to just give up after partially successful medical intervention.

Plants have evolved to become carnivorous at least nine separate and unrelated times throughout history. Venus flytraps are only native to a tiny and shrinking part of the world, swampland around the Carolinas. They are at risk of going extinct in nature in the next few decades.

One of the more recent movies that became a favorite for me is Everything Everywhere All At Once. It’s so strange yet relatable. The older I get and the more I learn, the less sense the world seems to make. The absurdity of it all becomes more apparent.

Memento is one of my favorites too. I relate way too much to the main character.

I’m a fan of time shenanigans. The series finale of TNG did such an excellent job of exploring the paradox. I can’t imagine that concept was easy to flesh out. It’s impressive that they were able to bring everything full circle when they changed so much from the first season.

Beautiful! I have a smaller one, I love plants with black foliage.
