@fivetonsflax@tilde.zone The one thing they do point out as the "negative side effect" is the "what if I had gotten this sooner?" thoughts. The feeling of suddenly having the 100 radio channels that have been playing in the background all the time drastically reduced, can make you feel a bit down when you think "how would life have been if I got this sooner". It can be worth preparing for, it did not hit me much but others get that a bit harder. But compared to "I'm hitting a wall, I have less and less energy as I get older, and my coping mechanism depends on me having energy, how am I ever going to manage this much longer?" mindset, I'd say the latter is a lot more likely to ruin your life. @tbortels@infosec.exchange @digitalcortex@mastodon.social

    @fivetonsflax@tilde.zone @digitalcortex@mastodon.social @lettosprey@tech.lgbt Heh. My coping mechanism mostly consists of an internal censor. It's exhausting, but I shudder to think of what some of my contacts would say If I stopped doing the polite lies dance that most of society does. But - reasonable argument. Maybe I'll talk to my doctor about it. (i dropped the Doc who said it to me a decade ago)
