      Some airlines who intentionally overbook flights may be more willing to refund tickets if they are looking for people to remove from the overbooked plane. And Overbooking is so common it’s basically an industry standard.

      @@alexk7425 Most airline tickets are refundable (or you can reschedule to a different flight). It's only the super-cheap tickets which aren't.
      Years ago, there was a gravy train based on this with the American Express Platinum card. It had a $400 annual fee, but included a travel points program which allowed you to get heavily discounted first class tickets. So you'd spend like $500 worth of points to buy a first class ticket which retailed for $2000. Then you'd tell the airline you couldn't make the flight and needed to cancel. Since it was first class, it was refundable. Since was purchased with points, they couldn't give you a refund, but they'd give you a credit. So you then had $2000 worth of credits to spend on other airline tickets. Amex finally got rid of the program about a decade ago.

    In reference to the second story (Professional Job): If you think someone is acting strange and/or you feel threatened, *stay in public*. Go into a store, a bar or anywhere there’s a lot of people. Ask the staff for help and call the police.
    Also if you own a firearm and you got it specifically because you don’t feel safe: Don’t leave it in your car. If you take it with you when you leave your home then keep it on your person at all times and make sure you got a copy of your license on you (just in case).

      That would be absolutely torturous. When my husband died unexpectedly (we were separated at the time), even though I didn't have a lot of money, I paid hundreds extra to have 20 minutes with him as a "viewing." I knew that if I didn't see him and confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was dead, I'd still be expecting him to knock on the door any day. Or think that any random number calling me might be him.
      I saw him with my own eyes and I still doubted/doubt it. That's denial for you, I suppose.
      But I can only imagine that the people who never get that closure are probably in limbo every day, wondering/hoping beyond hope when their loved one will show up. Awful. My heart hurts for them.

      A long time ago must've been in the mid 80s I was lent a book that really helped me. I don't recall the title but it was written by a Shrink and it was based on just four concepts.
      I don't remember the other three but what I do remember is one that really stunned me at the time.
      We are NOT our thoughts. Thoughts come and go and we don't have to be attached to them. Some of them might not even be our own. We don't have to believe every thought that we think. We can even say no I totally disagree with that.
      I came to notice that some of my thoughts were causing me a great deal of pain but they were always the same thoughts. The more I backed off and looked at these thoughts from a distance, the more I realized these weren't things that I was coming up with, they were coming to me but not from me. Then of course I got upset but I soon figured out that if you ignore these ideas and not react to them, they actually go away. If the thoughts are making you upset or anxious and they bother you, you don't have to listen. You don't have to react in any way. Just ignore it. Gently but firmly think of something positive. Every time you notice them just easily turn to a different topic.
      When you take your power back and refuse to give it to these intrusive thoughts, you've won. You get to decide what you will believe and what you think about by separating from the thoughts and looking at them objectively.
      Best wishes for an end to your depression. You can be the winner, you can stop repeating negative sayings that hurt you. You are not the feelings, you are the person that feels them. Much love.

      ​@@glitterygirl1017 They do say that about time, I've had that thought myself on occasion too. How long though, I guess that's not up to us. While it may very well be true, I think actively pursuing a few more tactics and strategies from within can only be of help to try rather than just watching and waiting in hope while you're hurting. Our brains are extremely complex and powerful organic machines that we barely have the most rudimentary understanding of so giving certain things a chance that might help can only be worthwhile, I'd like to think so.
      As you say youtube and this channel in particular really helps to take your mind off things, however overwhelming your situation may be for you at that time. John is a great storyteller and has a really engaging and respectful style towards his audience, and the comment upon comment of praise he gets is well-earned.
      We all have our various personal issues in life, some people find it harder to cope with theirs whatever they may be than others, but another thing is it's been reported people find a solace in talking and sharing, just as much or as little as you want to and not feeling pressured to do so. That's actually the rationale or part of it for things like AA/ NA/ and other various types of group meetings, to know that you're alone. Once you start to get it out of your system, so to speak, i think it can become gradually easier to identify the root cause or causes and therefore can be easier to finally deal with; I hope anyone suffering with depression manages to find whatever helps them in their journey.
      One thing I'd also recommend is having a look at Marcus Aurelius' thoughts on Stoicism. There are a few techniques in there that help a lot in contextualising your troubles.

      My only reasonable guess would be something like a full-force downward swing from a sledgehammer into the vulnerable gut/rib region. Shatter ribs, burst organs, drive bone fragments into arteries… that’s all I can think of that could feasibly kill someone in a single blow in that manner.

It’s truly bizarre how so many people sound like human pendulums trying to slowly hammer your brain into mush.
