    I like spring too, but there's a few things that keeps it near the bottom. 1. I am allergic to literally every trees pollen in my area, 2. Because spring where I live is really hit or miss, its either as cold as the winter, or its perfect, why can't it just be perfect all the time? 3. Spring is mud season, and liking to go four wheeling, it's a 3 month period where I can't, which stinks.

    A lot of people love the spring season but others hate it as well. 
    Yes, it brings warmer weather, more sunlight, and colorful flowers but it also brings high pollen counts that cause allergy symptoms like watery eyes and sneezing that makes one person uncomfortable.

    1:Collect all of the cloth and aliminium you can find

    2:Loot every electronic device and battery you can find

    3:Waith for an Aroura

    4:while the Aroura is happening cover all of them with Aliminum and Cloth

    5:Enjoy your old normal life while everyone outside freezes to death

    That makes sense!

    Specific phobia anxiety

    For those people who are suffering from Specific phobia, This might be a help. The best treatment for specific phobias is a form of psychotherapy called exposure therapy. Sometimes your doctor may also recommend other therapies or medication. Understanding the cause of a phobia is actually less important than focusing on how to treat the avoidance behavior that has developed over time. The goal of treatment is to improve quality of life so that you're no longer limited by your phobias. As you learn how to better manage and relate to your reactions, thoughts and feelings, you'll find that your anxiety and fear are reduced and no longer in control of your life. Treatment is usually directed at one specific phobia at a time.

    Psychotherapy

    Talking with a mental health professional can help you manage your specific phobia. Exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are the most effective treatments.

    Exposure therapy focuses on changing your response to the object or situation that you fear. Gradual, repeated exposure to the source of your specific phobia and the related thoughts, feelings and sensations may help you learn to manage your anxiety. For example, if you're afraid of elevators, your therapy may progress from simply thinking about getting into an elevator, to looking at pictures of elevators, to going near an elevator, to stepping into an elevator. Next, you may take a one-floor ride, then ride several floors, and then ride in a crowded elevator.

    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves exposure combined with other techniques to learn ways to view and cope with the feared object or situation differently. You learn alternative beliefs about your fears and bodily sensations and the impact they've had on your life. CBT emphasizes learning to develop a sense of mastery and confidence with your thoughts and feelings rather than feeling overwhelmed by them.

    Medications

    Generally psychotherapy using exposure therapy is successful in treating specific phobias. However, sometimes medications can help reduce the anxiety and panic symptoms you experience from thinking about or being exposed to the object or situation you fear.

    Medications may be used during initial treatment or for short-term use in specific, infrequently encountered situations, such as flying on an airplane, public speaking or going through an MRI procedure.

    Beta blockers. These drugs block the stimulating effects of adrenaline, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, pounding heart, and shaking voice and limbs that are caused by anxiety.

    Sedatives. Medications called benzodiazepines help you relax by reducing the amount of anxiety you feel. Sedatives are used with caution because they can be addictive and should be avoided if you have a history of alcohol or drug dependence.

    I hope this helps :)

    It reliefs my depression. It is more like my source of joy/happiness.

    Video games are now the source of happiness due to these uncertain days where most people are on their house.

    Moderation in all things.  People can go overboard on almost any activity, emotion or mental process.   There lies trouble.

    I agree with you as well. Moderation is the key!

    I killed a black bear outside of Quonset Garage in CH! It honestly was fairly uneventful. I set out in the morning armed with my rifle and began creeping around, looking for the bear I had seen wandering around a few times. I got lucky. After about 10 minutes of looking around I saw him. Big Ol' Black bear was lumbering along the road coming from the nearby logging path just on the edge of the Coastal Townsite. I crouched to remain undetected and quickly snuck to the edge of Quonset, dropped a raw coho salmon as a lure then quickly ran to the car on the opposite side. Crouching behind the car near the door, I waited fro the bear to approach the lure. Soon enough he did. Still crouched, I aimed my rifle and pulled the trigger and hopped in the car. I think it hit him in the lower neck area, but he ran off. I waited a few minutes before deciding to start following the blood trail but once I did only after about a minute I saw the bear walking back towards the lure. I ran back to the car and repeated that process two more times. I hit him in the side the 2nd shot, a 3rd shot missed and a 4th hit in the neck. He started stumbling away before collapsing. I slowly walked over to him, not sure if he was dead or napping. Might've shot him in the head just to make sure. I had killed my first bear! I couldn't believe it 10 guts and 26.6 kg of meat along with the hide! My bear hunt was a success!!! However I did die before the bear hide finished curing so I didn't get to use it but still awesome!!

    Very nice!!! Congrats dude! How's the feeling?

    It all depends. Video games on its own do not cause depression, it's the amount of time they take up that does. Throughout most of 2020, I was playing over 10-15 hours every day, and I really was not happy with myself. It got to the point where I was unable to complete simple tasks, and I was disappointing my parents. 

    If video games become more important to you than doing chores, running errands, doing worthwhile things, etc. Than yeah, they are a problem. What I think parents shouldn't do (or if you're an adult) Is not completely take away video games, (treat them second hand). Treat it like your treat to yourself after working hard all day. 

    I still play a lot, in the grand scheme of things. But I'm playing less than half of what I used, and I only at max play 2 hours in a row. My advice for anyone that feels like video games are making them 'depressed' is limit it. Take breaks, do hard work, etc. What I was not getting from playing video games was the sense of completing something worthwhile, and something that I thought mattered.

    When it comes to young people, such as I becoming depressed over video games, it's not the video games fault, it's the person. You control how you spend your time, and how video games affect your life. I hope this makes sense.

    Exactly. I know and I understand the feeling. Your kind words warmed my heart and I believe that your statements are important and thanks for providing guidance for everyone. I also found this article which gives me interest and worthy to share, https://adaa.org/learn-from-us/from-the-experts/blog-posts/consumer/top-ten-covid-19-anxiety-reduction-strategies, hoping someone can benefit from it.
