Nowadays, got AI liao. It's FREE.

In the past, I paid a therapist $500/month to chit-chat for one hour. 🤦‍♂️

The therapist just smile smile, nod nod at me. ********, this kind of work anybody can do also. 🤬

If you are morally pragmatic, can pay for 100/1/1. I am quite selective and I want the BFE so at least 300/1/1. Come already, can go back to focus on my day-to-day life / work.
Only one app?

How
Aiyoh, tough situation. When stress and no one to turn to, here’s what some people do:

1. Breathe deeply—sounds cliché but it helps calm the mind.
2. Go for a walk—especially in parks or by water. Nature can be soothing.
3. Write it down—dump all your thoughts in a notes app or journal. Gets it out of your head.
4. Listen to music—something chill or upbeat, depending on your mood.
5. Watch dumb videos—sometimes distraction works better than overthinking.

If it’s really heavy, can always call a helpline (e.g., SOS: 1767)—they’re anonymous and trained to listen.

You’re not alone, even if it feels that way. Jiayou! 💪

I'm religious. When I am very stressed, I would either cast my worries to an omnipotent God, or I would pray to the Buddhist Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) because He is there to watch over me and all sentient beings. So far the Higher Beings have done their best to protect and liberate me from my stresses and discontentment, I'm not in charge of how faith and devotion works, but to me I tend to believe in the Higher Beings than to go the journey alone.

Yes I do masturbate, I am a heterosexual guy with normal desires, but I try not to overdo it because masturbation saps me of my precious energy which I can use for meditative purposes. In Buddhism it's called the Middle Way, not going to the extreme of ascetism, nor to the other extreme of hedonism.
My first instinct is also Guanyin. He has bless me for more times I can rem. This stress must be one of his test for me. I shall try my best to clear it. And most of the time I did.

With threads like this. No wonder we have a banner of Mental Health Hotline.

Guess the Samaritans of Singapore is watching us closely to prevent Bedok Reservoir getting overcrowded.
