@Cutelivejazz no, not at all, i'm just typing another response sorry
@Cutelivejazz ooh, yes please, i love physics
@Cutelivejazz I wouldn't say i'm better than a professional, but you are right about how messed up our system is. We are ranked 2nd lowest in the world in terms of wellbeing. https://www.medboundtimes.com/medbound-blog/uk-grapples-with-second-worst-ranking
The thing about anxiety attacks is that it's still highly contested and debated. Same with things like CPTSD. Some don't recognise anxiety attacks as a thing, others do recognise it. it really depends on which mental health professional you see and there personal opinions on it. But it's definitely worth looking into. They aren't the same thing. I've put a few links about anxiety attacks and how they differ from panic attacks.

And that dissociation sounds extremely difficult. Emotional numbness is an extremely tricky one. I wish i had some advice about it, but i'm still struggling to overcome that myself.
And you don't have to say thank you. You're entitled to be able to vent about things and be listened to. I'm just sorry that nobody has taken the time to listen to you and offer advice and support before. And btw, there is nothing stupid about any of it.
@Cutelivejazz that's a good one. Okay, i have one.
*Einstein is speeding down the road, past the speed limit, so an officer pulls him over*
Police Officer: Do you know how fast you were going down that road sir?
Einstein: But officer, speed is relative
my chem teacher was pretty strict and scary but she liked a good joke
@Cutelivejazz that's a really good one actually. Btw, this is a meme in of itself about quantum physics (you know max planck):
I looked it up it primarily does beta decay into calcium 40
@Cutelivejazz a very tricky question cause there's so many good ones. I'd probably say einstein, simply because the work he did laid the foundations for much of our understanding of the universe and physics, and was something that was built upon by others in so many different fields of physics. He did have his flaws, even disbelieving certain aspects of his own theorem (especially when it came to the concept of singularities), but overall, i'd say he's my favourite. I actually went to Brian Cox's new horizons event where einstein was spoken about a lot by him.
@Cutelivejazz i've heard that one before. It was calculated as requiring 10 million banana's to give a fatal dose of radiation. Did you know 1 gram of uranium equals 20 billion calories?
@Cutelivejazz True, but that meant he wasn't in german hands in ww2. Einstein's theorem was critical for the development of nuclear fission, and thus, an atomic bomb so it's a good thing he was able to escape from them. But even despite that horrid situation, he still changed physics forever.
And btw, i love Neil de Grasse Tyson too. Space always fascinated me. Do you think there's life on other planets?
@Cutelivejazz i suppose it's the fermi paradox. But interestingly enough, i've heard a fair few theories, like the simulation theory, all of which make sense. I reckon, yes there is life, but no there is not intelligent life that is within reachable distance. Have you ever heard of the theory that life exists in the cloud layer of venus?
@Cutelivejazz are you talking about Crispr?
@Cutelivejazz so, essentially, there was a theory that was floated around for a while, that suggested, as unlikely as it is, that theoretically, it may just be possible at a push for life (single celled organisms) to exist in the upper cloud layer of Venus, floating about in the currents of it. And for a while it was seen as a fringe theory, but theoretically possible, until they discovered traces of phosphine gas, something produced by microbes on earth when there's no oxygen, in venus's upper cloud layer, which strongly suggests the existence of microbes in the upper cloud layer of the planet too. They've got further expeditions and missions planned to work out where it's from.
