Usually in the first session, a therapist will look at your sleeping habits. It is a major indicator of issues.

Whether it is stress, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, OCD, or any other mental disorders, If this meme applies to you, I suggest you talk to a therapist. Now a days, you can do sessions all online.

    Therapist: So it sounds like you're tired all the time.

    Me: yes.

    Therapist: Are you sleeping well?

    Me: No. But when I manage to sleep well for a few nights in a row, I feel amazing.

    Therapist: Well it sounds like sleeping better would help a lot. Why don't you tell me about your sleep routine?

    Me: Well, I usually go to bed late, and then spend several hours staring at my phone until my eyes are itchy and I feel like I'm about to pass out.

    Therapist: Oh. You shouldn't do that.

    Me: I know.

    Therapist: You should skip the part where you stare at your phone for hours.

    Me: I know.

    Therapist: Okay, well our time is up. That'll be $5000.

    Very good advice. Actual, trained and licensed therapists can help everyone at some point. Unfortunately, the majority are severely overworked and underpaid, so finding a good therapist that has experience or familiarity with your particular circumstances may take time.

    That is very true. Especially since more and more people are putting their mental health as a priority. This is a good thing but this also means a lot less time for new patients.

    I wish. Germany usually has a combination of "bad internet", "tech illiteracy" and "no appointments in the next 2-4 years" .

    That's fair.

    I looked up Internet speed by country expecting to see Germany be in the top 25, because of their incredible engineering, then I see them at 56. That is shocking to me.

    Incredible engineering? Germany? Have you ever owned a German car? Over-engineered unreliable expensive POC.

    I have never owned a German car. I find the idea that something is over engineered and unreliable together funny.

    Over-engineering is dedicating a team of specialists to shaving off every last piece of material from a pneumatic hose, justified with endless computer simulations based on unrealistic assumptions like constant temperature throughout the year, then wondering why the hoses fail in less than a year in the real world. "But the simulation". "But the data". "But the theory". "The real world is a statistical fluke". That's over-engineering.
