..What understanding defies.

Hyperbole and a Half posted again, and everyone needs to read it because:

• If you are depressed, it will resonate with you like whoa.
• If you are not depressed, it will clarify some stereotypes about depression that need to be said. An explanation like this has been needed for a LONG time.
• If you know someone who is depressed, you’ll be better at interacting with them after reading this.

I wish more people actually gave a shit enough to try.

GUESS WHO CAME BACK?

Everyone’s favorite Twi’lek man-ho’, Larikk Leren.  I HAD to draw him in a slave outfit.  I just HAD to happen.  SORRY BEAU’RAE AND KAYLE.

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

I think this just changed my life.

Best explanation I’ve heard of how to cope with anxiety.

I needed this today.
