You can grab a copy of entrepreneurial small business 5th edition used for probably 20 bucks. I'm about one semester out from a business administration associate's degree. That textbook was the most comprehensive of anything that I studied over the last year and a half. And the only textbook I made sure to buy a print copy of, so I have it for reference.

I also have cptsd.

Can't help much with the legal questions. But there's medication that can reduce nightmares. Prazosin in particular. It blocks the adrenal response, so you are less likely to go into fight or flight while sleeping.

Also, PTSD is recognized as a disability. It's not easy to get disability for it, however discriminating against you for having it, when you are requesting reasonable accommodations is absolutely illegal. If you have medical documentation of your condition that will be helpful. If you don't, I suggest you start figuring out how to document it. I see a trauma therapist, and my GP is also aware that I have it, as he's the one that gave me the medication. This is the documentation I'm currently using to try to get disability and it would also work in your instance.

Well it's more if you feel you'd be better out without us.

But when I read through your comments, I see stuff like unlike on Reddit downvotes don't mean anything here. Or stuff like, lemmmy users aren't going to get it but I feel this way about combustion engines (which is fine who doesn't love the sound of shit exploding and the hum of an engine lol).

My point wasn't get the fuck out but you'll probably encounter less hostility if you don't prejudge everybody.

Well I mean when I read through your posts you're pretty hostile to lemmy.

So maybe it's you.

It's every evening for me, so I know the feeling.

About to put on a listening meditation.

Self care, whatever that looks like for you.

It could be treating yourself to a new outfit, spending quality time with a good friend, or more traditional ideas of self care, like healthy meals, exercise, and meditation.

Looking through the stages of grief can be helpful too. Give yourself permission to mourn. And permission to pendulate and use healthy distractions if the feelings get intense.

These are the strategies that work best for me. I also have less healthy coping mechanisms and if that's your goto, harm reduction can be helpful (weed is less destructive than alcohol for me, for example).

I imagine some people already are.

You don't know they're diagnosis. So you have no idea if they need medication or not.

Help yes. But, not all mental health disorders have a root cause that can be treated with medication. For instance, depression is comorbid in PTSD and CPTSD, which we don't really have medication that helps great with aside from adrenaline blockers to help you sleep if you get nightmares .

My point is, telling people they need medication when you're not a psychiatrist, and even if you are psychiatrist, you've never talked to them or diagnosed them, is not helpful.

I thought the main issue was that AI don't really know how to say I don't know or second guess themselves, as it would take a lot more robust architecture with multiple feedback loops. Like a brain.

Anyway, LLM's aren't the only AI that do this. So them being trained on Facebook data certainly isn't the whole issue.

It's not posting is the point.

Android phones back all photos up onto the Google cloud by default. Not everyone knows to turn this off.

Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon's employees have to go back to flip phones
