Hi there. If a woman or a man experience chronic congenital or acquired conditions that do not respond to medication or can only be cured by surgical intervention (not desirable by many), how do they: a) normalize their attitude to the condition; b) communicate it to a partner properly; c) remove shame and fear of rejection from their mind as it's not their fault?

Thank you!

Shit, it's ~$41 for a brain MRI in Ukraine in a good (by our standards) private laboratory. What is the price for monthly health insurance in the USA?

Also, are people just left to die/be in chronic pain if they have no insurance?

Thank you for your reply. How does one engage in sex life with a partner without revealing (initially) this kind of information which could potentially affect partner's health? I'm not taking about STDs, but, say, about regular but resistant yeast or bacterial infections.

There is a sketch by Julie Nolke that you legit need to wait like a year in line and you can't pay to get to the service you need faster.

Hi there. I (28M) have been in consistent therapy for over a year now. My issues are the trust in others, belief in what I value in myself as truth, and being in contact with my own feelings and emotions. I do well job-wise, eat well, do sports, live alone - everything is great. I've got over panic attacks and am dealing with the anxiety that comes from my childhood and teen years of my feelings not being recognized, my family not being emphatic and emotionally caring, and bullying/abuse.

There is a lot of progress, I feel well, and recently I've been having a lot of "me" time and being content with it, but I am anxious to make contact with new people (although I am capable and see the reward of it). For instance, I have a new potential non-romantic friend (a girl), and I send her a message to meet the next day. And instantly after I send it, I feel very anxious, overwhelmed, and that I pressure myself to do it. I have a huge desire to delete the message instantly and stay alone - not necessarily at home, but in the sense of not being with someone else.

Does it come from me not yet being ready to participate socially and I need to care for myself and build my emotional and psychological boundaries, or is it past-related anxiety talking, and I need to build up motivation (which as I see you talk about in other posts) and consider this as work to build new brain pathways and attitude towards social interaction and establishing trusting human bonds?
