This is quite a sensible and measured article about using using self talk to regulate difficult emotions.
"In other words, the simple act of naming an emotion, rather than trying to think your way around it or push it away, appears to be associated with a calmer amygdala response."
"... how people frame their internal dialogue, specifically, whether they use first-person language (“I feel anxious”) or shift to using their own name or “you” (“Kate, you’re feeling anxious right now”).
This shift is known as distanced self-talk, "
" distanced self-talk appears to support emotion regulation through a different pathway than effortful cognitive control, which may be part of why it can feel easier to access under stress than trying to consciously reason yourself out of a feeling."

I REALLY WISH PEOPLE HAD ACTUAL COMPASSION, #Disablity, #Poverty, #Aging, #Health, URGENT HELP NEEDED TODAY!
It is Thursday, September 24th, and this #disabled man existing in #poverty is truthfully struggling. Constant pain, sleepless nights, hunger-filled days, blood pressure on a continuous rollercoaster, declining executive cognitive function, hands that no longer work right, vertigo that keeps me dizzy, bad knees, and difficulty walking, stooping, or bending. Every day I fight with the choice of what I can eat versus whether I can afford to take a shower or have clean clothes. My near non-existent disability income cannot cover even a quarter of life today. Every facet of my existence hangs on a precarious precipice. I have no safety at all. I am begging for help to live, begging for compassion and dignity, and it nearly never comes. What trickles in is appreciated more than anyone realizes, but it is never enough to offer breathing room or begin to weave a net of safety, let alone address urgent needs. I am exhausted mentally, spiritually, and physically. I need a major infusion of financial support. I have never expected one person to bear my burdens; I only hope all will help how they can, with the compassion and empathy they themselves would pray for if they were in need. I am 48, disabled, in poverty, with nowhere to turn. I have had a very hard life. How much longer must I fight and endure an existence void of compassion, empathy, support, respect, dignity, and safety? Please, I am not in a good place. Please help me climb out of this hell of desperation today.
Existence is stealing my vision as constant pain and exhaustion reign in this disabled, poverty-stricken corpse. My sight, like the rest of me, is suffering. Some days things are clear for a little while, but more often it’s a dark fuzzy blur, a shrinking tunnel. Bright light hurts; dim light makes fine details impossible. Coupled with joints actively revolting against me, even the mundane becomes extraordinary. If I sit too long, my ankles, knees, and hips lock. If I stand too long, my legs burn and stiffen. If I lie down in my torture-device bed, everything goes haywire. My wrists and hands go numb, my shoulders and back ache, and trying to sit upright feels like it takes days. Every movement, every breath becomes a battle that lasts too long. My thoughts fade and fray more each day as my bowels constantly complain there is no food. If I were a corpse, this decay would make sense, but as I am somehow still alive, simply existing is becoming more than I can bear.
I really don’t feel well. I am exhausted, in pain, anxious, unable to get comfortable, and unsure what I will eat tonight. I am worn out from it all, and people simply do not understand, nor do they attempt to feign empathy if they cannot express it naturally. It gets old explaining over and over that I am disabled and aging, which means my disabilities worsen. I exist in poverty because I am disabled, and it is infuriating when people think I can just do A, B, C despite me making it clear I cannot. If humanity were not such a failure, maybe I could raise the money I need to live beyond barely existing, have help in my life, and maybe even help someone else who suffers the way I have most of my life.
My body and mind are degrading to the point that doing things most people take for granted is becoming extremely difficult. On top of my normal unmet needs, it is imperative that I raise the money to buy property and build my own forever home, so I have security and stability. If I am lucky, I could help others through the rest of my life by having a place to offer them support. But obtaining my own forever home has become an immediate need. I have no family to call on, no friends to rely on. I am disabled, in poverty, and getting older by the minute. Please help me today.
I am having a rough life. Between the disabled life in poverty and the effects of aging in poverty for so long, things keep getting harder. My body is in constant pain, my mattress is 20 years old and useless, and I have no room for a couch or recliner to alternate positions. My body is in constant conflict with itself. My hands randomly drop things and ache all day. My vision is degrading. My mental executive functions are noticeably declining. My tiny cave is a mess; I need to organize and clean, but I lack the physical energy and the financial means to obtain what I need. Everything is chaos. From the constant need for food I can never afford, to underwear, socks, shoes, pants, shirts, personal hygiene — there is so much I truly need and no real way to obtain any of it. I need a massive infusion of cash to get caught up, and then monthly support to stay somewhat stable. Your compassion and support would help me in so many ways today and every day going forward.
Part of my rent is helping out where I live, but my body and mind are degrading to the point that even that is becoming difficult. On top of my normal unmet needs, it is imperative that I raise the money to buy property and build my own forever home for security and stability. If I am fortunate, I could help others through the rest of my life by having a place to offer them support. But obtaining my own forever home is now an immediate need. I have no family, no friends, I am disabled, in poverty, and getting older by the minute. Please help me today.

Please SHARE! A NEW Report that maps the multi-billion-dollar industry built on the #loneliness, #economic #anxiety, and identity of #men.
It presents itself as the antidote to a society that has failed men — then sells them the very things that keep them isolated, financially drained, and psychologically dependent on the young men profiting from their struggle. #Grift #economyhttps://www.equimundo.org/resources/the-grift-economy/
Ive been living on this all day, because I literally just gave up with zero fucks today. My junior engineers did stupid shit today, and I am up to my neck in it. Can this get any worse? I doubt it. I think secretly the world hates me or something.

Update on my anti-anxiety medication treatment
I Need Help People!
URGENT Your Merciful Contribution Would Be An Act Of Compassion That Would Be Greatly Appreciated;
I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;
This Disabled Man Existing In Poverty, Is $2,898 Away From Being Able To Afford To Take Care Of Myself And The Things I Still Need To Take Care Of This Month. Your support today could mean the difference between nourishment and starvation and some kind of stability.
This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.
Urgent need: $21,678, Monthly survival: $1,500, Long-term liberation: $25,000 to climb out. $5 million to build a forever home and sanctuary for others like me.
If you’ve ever wondered what despair looks like, this is it. If you’ve ever wanted to make a real difference, this is your chance.
