I can't find it on any list

being a senior citizen, i wonder how many more "good" years i have ahead of me where i'm not shabbin' my nappies?

I don't see you as being an old codger auntblabby

^^^thank you

yup ,coming off Mirtazepine can be a pain ..

I've tried so many times before and I always end up on a higher dose than before.

I think I've been using it for about 20 years at least so I don't know how long it would take me to taper off it.

Oh that's good information to know. Thank you Jakki.

Don't know about a naturopath though. Where would I find one of those.

wow,, my typing is aweful.. TY for translating my typing very well .. .Might look up naturopath on the net, include the general area you live in, in your search.

Yeah you do have a unique typing style Jakki

I still don't understand the idea of fitting in.

I literally did that.
It's a mixed bag. It's either a burnout inducing unpaid exhausting fulltime job, or a really exciting hobby that can empower.

Why is that everyone assume it's always guaranteed it's the latter?


So does relationships.
It's always a gamble whether one may work at it or not. Was it the right person? Was it the right and mutually agreed dynamic?

Why assume that's some cure for one's loneliness or whatever unwanted status quo?


Is there a word for this phenomenon of an assumption?
I'm not sure if generalizing is the right word for it.



But then...
I'm a negative person.
Negative enough to put every hype into scrutiny.


For example; the Japanese culture.
For most people, it's either from the anime or the novelty comparison from their current culture.

What I see is super strict social mores that I'm certain will not survive, and that I'm not so surprised that the population is shrinking.


The same with going abroad as another example, say, at the USA.
For people around me, it's this colonial mentality, the historical contexts and whatever social status hype.

What I see instead is that said cultures abroad are not any better. Grass can look greener on the other side -- why can't others see that?
And it's a gamble. Not every OFWs are 'lucky'. Some OFWs end up ruining their lives instead.


So...
What's the precise term for such assumption?
Romanticizing is closer but... Not quite.

Relationships are a gamble. I didn't used to understand that but I do now but I don't really invest in them too much but I don't mind a bit of a flutter every now and then.

Uncertainty is a motivation killer for me.

I can work and work and work -- and how would one know if the reward is guaranteed?


Well...
Trust and certainty is a huge thing to me when it came to be disciplined.

And I'm not easy to give trust.

I was up a ladder because I was decorating. Nothing to do with tapering of medication

I thinking that if a shave off about 3mg every second night then that should be enough to keep me stable
