  1. Exactly the same here. You are closer to the north if I remember correctly? By the way, for the cortisol, you could try bringing a cup of tea with you (when you get the prior warning before the siren) and drink slowly on your way to the shelter. It helps me in many cases of anxiety waves in regular days.
  2. As long as we are human beings we will be triggered emotionally from time to time. The thing is what you do with it.
  3. A populist law that security seniors are mostly against it and also almost half of the Knesset. I think it won't be implemented.
  4. Iโ€™m curious how he explains the relatively quiet 17 years between 2006 and 2023, and what he thinks has changed after all those years?
  5. In this thread you can get a sense of what the discussion in Israel looks like during the war. I will add posts representing a variety of views from across the political spectrum. You are welcome to ask any questions you may have. All posts are translated from Hebrew.
  6. Most likely a combination of that with his withdrawal trials. Even people who reduce SSRI's too fast can get symptoms for years after.
  7. Post rationality has its own inner rationality to it, just that its language is different. For example, OCD and anxiety symptoms seem irrational but if your approach is post-rational you will listen to your symptoms and find the inner rationality in them, which is key to treating them.
  8. The problem is that most of the time, the criticism is being expressed in a black and white, unnuanced manner when it tries to delegitimize the notion of a Jewish state itself, using problematic broad labels that give people a cognitive shortcut from a reasonable discussion, which only worsens distortions and misunderstandings. Then no wonder people push back against that.

  10. March 27th news ๐Ÿ—ž๐Ÿฆ Current and former Israeli Chiefs of Staff join the condemnations against Jewish terrorism.
  11. While commiting worse injustices to their own people, what makes their claims less reliable, or at least much more partial in their view.

  15. ๐Ÿฅ‘" An optimistic story Thursday. Missiles fly in the sky and sirens shake the air. I jump into my apartment after three weeks that I wasnโ€™t in it, open the refrigerator, take out the pack of ripe avocados that I bought the day before the war broke out, cut them โ€” and theyโ€™re not ripe at all. I almost collapse mentally, look for the phone number on the package, call in anger, and a woman answers me kindly. Itโ€™s clear sheโ€™s in the middle of a drive, and suddenly I feel like the most stupid person in the world and start stammering: โ€œHi, um, I bought your avocados and they are uh hard, and I know thereโ€™s a world war outside and everything, butโ€ฆโ€ โ€œNo, no,โ€ she cuts me off, โ€œyou are completely right. Unripe avocados are a failure. Iโ€™m really sorry,โ€ she answers in a distressed voice, and asks that I give her the serial number on the package and my address. I answer, and for three seconds there is a feeling of a sane world, where there are no eternal wars and splitting missiles, only small dramas about unripe avocados. Then suddenly a siren starts to operate and we quickly end the conversation. Four days later. Half an hour ago, I receive a phone call. โ€œHi Amir, Iโ€™m the one from the avocados, are you by any chance in your apartment?โ€ โ€œYes,โ€ I answer. โ€œThen Iโ€™m here outside.โ€ I go out to the entrance of the building. She gets out of the gray jeep, says hello to me, opens the trunk that is full of packs of avocados from the Galilee and hands me two with a smile. I donโ€™t know when all the wars will end, but there is still in me faith in the human race. And in avocados. " amirbarkol3 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CqfA4qpCi/
