A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.
That’s interesting, seems you use a similar strategy to me.
I have bipolar, knowing I’m going to have extreme lows in the future even with meds can be very dispiriting, but I know that I’ll always have a giant weapon in my arsenal… comedy shows. The difficulty comes when there’s nothing to watch and I need a boost, only so many times you can rewatch The Office, It’s Always Sunny etc.
(yes this was a thinly-veiled request for suggestions of funny!)
Here come my suggestions, I find them funny and most have a feelgood undertone too: Parks and Recreation, My Name is Earl, Raising Hope (same writers as in my name is earl), Better off Ted, Schitts Creek, Chuck, Space Force, Brooklyn Nine-nine, Outsourced, Modern Family, The Middle, Community (the earlier seasons). Most of these are pretty well known I guess but I hope at least one of them is helpful!
Much appreciated! I’ve seen most of these but a few I don’t recognise so will check them out. Better Off Ted, imo, is so underrated and I never understood why it got cancelled. Made me laugh so much.
Great! I hope you like them! I know, I’ve rarely heard anyone mention it and it’s just so good. The Veridian Dynamics™ voiceover bits especially are so funny, and poor Phil of course! I’ve been hoping someone might pick it up and keep going, but I’m guessing that’s probably too late now… Won’t stop hoping though!

Some news to assuage the pain of no more Better Off Ted, maybe you’ve already seen but Community is finally getting the “… and a movie” fulfillment :)
