Most often my emotional pain is internally generated. Learning to analyze root causes helps me to slow down and respond more thoughtfully to emotional triggers.
Another thing that helps me is to realize that some feelings you just have to sit with and feel to let them out. If you weren't able to feel all the sadness or panic or anger etc in the moment something happened to you, if it's all too much, your body will store that emotion away for later. These stored emotions can be released during times of stress causing us to "overreact". Recognizing that some of what you are feeling is not caused by the present situation can go a long way toward being able to regulate your reactions.
The lack of interest in our medical system in any actual healing seems to growing. It's awful.

I've experienced the real struggle... AND I complain about Spotify 😆 (Used to complain, I've given up on using it)

Both duck duck go and brave have been giving dumbed-down, largely crap results for months now, and getting worse lately.
I also second the comments about evaluating your mattress and inflammatory foods.
I recommend this youtuber -- "Feldenkrais with Taro Iwamoto" for amazing help with neck pain!
My favorite pillow is a buckwheat hull pillow for adjustable support.

That's awesome 😊 When my middle child was 8 he started mountain biking and could quickly navigate trails better than I 😄 I'm not all that coordinated lol, but he was definitely a natural.
Sounds delicious!
Same, except mine are in cloth grocery bags 😄
Experiencing similar currently. Disputing a charge from a cancelled subscription (Curiosity Stream). Even with a screenshot showing my subscription was cancelled several months before the charge they are fighting me.
I TRIED to delete my Paypal account a year or so ago. They wouldn't LET me, insisting there was still an active payment though I cancelled/removed all payments and vendors.
I thought, well that sucks, but I just won't use the account.

Spring Flower Fritters
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
About one cup flowers and chopped greens (pansies, violas, dandelion, dandelion leaves, garlic leaves, etc)
avocado oil, coconut oil, or lard for frying
Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Separately, whisk together milk, egg, and butter.
Add wet ingredients to dry and quickly stir just until there are no lumps.
In a pan heat about 1/2 to 1 inch of oil until hot (very slightly rippling) reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Test cook a drop or two of batter. You want it to solidify right away, but not brown immediately.
Gently fold your blossoms and greens into the fritter batter.
Using a tablespoon dollop heaping scoops of batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden on bottom then flip and cook the other side.
Serve plain or with a dip such as garlic mayo.
