It's a symptom of a broken system, including things like the a government that is no longer primarily concerned with it's people, corporations who don't care about the welfare of its employees, and a world that looks to be going to shit.

"Pretty, but she lacked your charm."

Do other unbreakable windows also come on vehicles where people routinely can't figure out how to open the door?

I think it's the combo of the two that's (preventable) problematic.

They're complicit. Not all of them, but most. Look at how they're voting since Trump got elected, not what they're saying.

Then don't say "that's adulthood".

Any coop recommendations?

Celeste.

Hard retro platformer with amazing musical themes that persist throughout the whole game.

The main character has anxiety, which another character helps them deal with by imagining a floating feather that your breath controls. Slow, long breaths in and out to keep the feather balanced.

The game has an evil entity pursue you intermittently, and all you can do is run.

The feather actually appears on screen and you try to make it slowly move up and down to calm down. It was a great tool that is actually used IRL to deal with anxiety.

When the character is being chased, the entity makes you panic, so the character tries to calm down and the feather comes back on screen. The entity slashed through that feather and mocks you for trying.

What a gut punch that was.

There is an exception. Due process is not happening. No one is safe.

I saw one, once. I live in Canada. Googled the dude's name, he was listed as an actual terrorist.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar type 1.

I also worked in mental health.

The early stages can be tough because the person diagnosed has not yet learned how to recognize and cope with the issues bipolar brings.

It's not hopeless. I finished university, started a stable career, bought a home, maintained some stable social relationships for decades, have a long term romantic partner. There were challenges along the way, but you generally get better at managing them as you go through more of them.

In addition to whatever recommendations the doctor makes , there are some things that every bipolar person can do to make things easier. If my illness is flaring up, I have a simple checklist.

If you notice a manic/depressive flare up, have you ... Slept well? Eaten a remotely healthy meal? Done anything physical? Done anything social? Done anything productive?

Yes, these things will help pretty much anyone if you do them regularly, but they're especially important for bipolar. They're also listed in order of importance.

It's commonly done in some specific cases of people not breathing. Sleep apnea and opioid drug overdoses are two immediate examples I can think of.

With opioid drug overdoses, stimulation in general can be (temporarily) effective if they haven't taken too much. Usually, they require more stimulation, such as sternal rubs or trapezius pinching, but I have seen cases where they needed someone to shout at them every 30 seconds or so.

Especially for type 1 bipolar, lack of sleep can trigger mania. It's also very hard to sleep while manic, which can make the problem worse.

Sleep hygiene and sleep tracking were very helpful for me personally. Tracking helps predict manic phases, and tracking helps see how effective different things are for getting good sleep. Sleep hygiene is a good place to start in terms of trying to find what works well for sleeping better.
