Speaking of mental health, I can highly recommend playing Wanderstop.

It's really great, cozy and wholesome. And it definitely hits the spot for people suffering from burnout. I can relate so much to the protagonist.

The soundtrack is also extremely good.

I'm often at a loss for words for things happening inside my body. Physical things, emotional things. I wish I could express them to you but I've not figured out how. I feel hope and despair at once. I feel alienated and overwhelming compassion for people. The words I use juxtapose them but inside me they are one. What should I call these things?
(We can talk about physical stuff another time.)

The Atlantic recently published a feature about the loneliness epidemic that many Americans have fallen victim to — by our own doing in many cases. But what if there was a way back in to a healthier social life, one where the phone takes a back seat to meaningful friendships and experiences? There may be, Blair Braverman writes, in “Can Outdoor Friendships Solve the Loneliness Epidemic?” for @outside:

The best advice I got to up my #mentalhealth in these dire times was a question

„At which point in your life did you have a sense of security?“

To me this was my childhood. So I started reading children’s books and listening to music that was around me during this period.
Helps me to stay afloat.

Maybe it helps some of you also

Begrüßenswerte Aufmerksamkeit für Mental-Health-Themen oder Psychiatrisierung und Pathologisierung der Gesellschaft?

In letzter Zeit mehren sich Veröffentlichungen und Wortbeiträge, die einen "Boom von Mental Health" kritisch sehen. Der BR reflektiert diesen Trend in diesem Gespräch.

Die Soziologin Sarah Pritz diskutiert die "jeder Therapeutisierung von Problemen innewohnende Individualisierung von Problemen" auch kritisch, da sie durchaus passe zu den Maximen des Neoliberalismus. Dabei werden Probleme nicht auf einer gesellschaftlich-strukturellen Ebene angegangen, sondern auf eine individuelle Ebene verlagert.

Feb 22th I experienced major stress episode.I'm autistic and my only meaning of life is art and such, and after that I lost all my creative intuition and complex array of feelings connected to it. Almost no sexual attraction too

How long does it take to recover from severe stress? And generally what's the med protocols to treat something like I described (in autistic ppl)?
