It isn’t clear what exactly they saw.

Toobin was set to play the part of the courts, Andrew Marantz stood in for the far-right, Sue Halpern played the left and Dexter Filkins played the part of the military.

Afterward, he left the chat for a while and called them back – unbeknownst that his camera was recording his masturbating session.
A New Yorker spokesperson said:
“Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”
David Remnick, the publication’s editor, said in an e-mail to employees:

Our goal in this experiment was to tease out prejudice among those who didn't understand the question. Most people don't know the origins of our numerical system and yet picked a tribal answer anyway. You can argue that one is worse than the other but both prove a similar point. — John Dick (@jdcivicscience) May 15, 2019

Anxiety is a complex mental health issue that can be triggered by various factors.
Unfortunately, many of these triggers are not easy to be detected. In fact, there are people who have no idea they are suffering from anxiety.
While, in most cases, anxiety appears after a traumatic emotional experience, it can sometimes occur with no apparent cause. What is more, we usually have little to no time to prepare for handling such a severe mental health illness. Sometimes we find ourselves right in the middle of an anxiety attack, not having a single clue how we got there.
Here are 10 overlooked determinants that are likely to trigger anxiety issues.
1. Avoiding socializing.
It is not a secret that many anxiety attacks occur while the person is in a crowded place surrounded by people who make them feel uncomfortable. However, the opposite situation can also be an anxiety trigger. Spending too much time on your own can trick your mind into thinking no one is there for you, which can definitely provoke a severe panic attack. That’s why it’s extremely important for you to understand that socializing also has its mental health benefits. It helps you keep in touch with reality and improve valuable social skills such as empathy, awareness, and insightfulness.
Having goals to chase and dreams to turn into reality shapes your purpose in life. When you have something to look forward to, you also have a reason to wake up in the morning and start your day with a smile. But when you lack motivation, you can easily fall into a deep depression and experience harsh symptoms indicating anxiety. What you can do to prevent this is adopting a workout routine that improves your physical health, as well as makes you feel good about yourself. Exercising releases dopamine, the ‘happy’ hormone, which makes you feel productive and crushes depression into pieces.
3. Stress-handling issues.
Life is an overwhelming mess. It can make you go out of your mind in seconds. That’s why resilience is one of the most important personal traits you can have. Unfortunately, not everyone can handle stress so easily. Some people struggle to overpower their negative thoughts and let them control them instead. Dealing with stress on a daily basis is one of the main anxiety triggers. In case you’re in a situation where you feel stressed out most of the time, try to make a little time for self-care. Put your thoughts in order and search for a solution instead of focusing on the problem.
If you overwhelm yourself with negative thoughts, you will inevitably become a victim of your own mind. While it is powerful enough to convince you there is no living soul greater than you, it can also make you believe exactly the opposite. You can enter a constant anxiety mode before even realizing your thoughts are controlling you. To prevent this from happening, you need to focus on what makes your life exciting and surround yourself with people that vibe at the same frequency as you and make you feel great about yourself.
5. Bad nutrition.
In recent years people are becoming more and more aware of the fact that nutrition is important not only for physical health but for mental health as well. Having a bad diet can affect more than just your appearance. It can cause mood swings, severe self-consciousness, and anxiety. If you feel that your diet is a bit off, try to consume balanced foods and drinks that are as natural as possible. Meal prep is something that will definitely help, especially when you’re stuck at the office all day, and you have nothing but fast food restaurants near you.
6. Suspiciously positive changes.
When your life has been going unwell for a while, the slightest positive change can make you feel anxious. If you’ve gotten used to dealing with negativity, a good twist might have you wonder if you have messed something up. In case you are an overthinker, you will be stressing over what will happen next in no time.
7. Low tolerance to outside factors.
Things like annoying noise, bright lights, and intensive smells can also be considered as anxiety triggers in some cases. If you have high sensitivity to such outside factors, you might experience certain symptoms of panic attacks when exposed to them. To battle these triggers, you need to find what soothes your mind and soul. Search for the sounds and colors that calm you down and for the smells that make you feel cozy. As we’re already into the fall season, a simple pumpkin-spice scented candle can do the trick.
8. Losing sleep.
Having trouble falling asleep at night is an often result of overthinking and overstressing. Analyzing all the things that happened throughout the day right before you go to bed will have you laying there for hours before you’re able to close your eyes. And when your alarm goes off in the morning, you will feel as if you haven’t slept for months. There are quite a few things that can help you fight insomnia. For instance, you can try drinking herbal tea or warm milk before bed, or stay away from caffeine in the late hours of the day. But if the issue is much more serious, better look for professional help.
9. Consuming alcohol to numb the pain.
Many people believe that alcohol helps them numb the pain and forget about their problems for a while. But when you’re prone to suffering from mental health issues, drinking to forget will do exactly the opposite. It will dig deeper into the darkest places of your mind. So, if you know you can’t handle stress, and you have suffered anxiety attacks before, please avoid alcohol at all costs.
10. Low blood sugar.
Diabetes is not the only illness related to low levels of sugar in your blood. Mental health illnesses such as anxiety can also be triggered by not enough blood sugar. It can be caused by bad nutrition and dehydration, and it can happen to perfectly healthy people as well. Oftentimes you don’t realize what’s wrong with you at first, and while your mind wanders, you can experience a panic attack that will further intensify your bothersome condition.

What is emotional numbness?
Emotional numbing is a mental and emotional process whereby one shuts off their feelings and reactions. This means that those who feel emotionally numb tend to feel disconnected from the world and the people around them. Mayra Mendez, Ph.D., LMFT explains that ‘while emotional numbing blocks or shuts down negative feelings and experiences, it also shuts down the ability to experience pleasure, engage in positive interactions and social activities, and interferes with openness for intimacy, social interests, and problem-solving skills’. Numbness can be brought about due to intense stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD among others.
There are 5 signs you might be experiencing emotional numbness:
1. You cannot feel and express emotions
You are incapable of feeling both negative and positive feelings; instead, you feel as though you are in a constant state of neutrality. It follows then that you find it difficult – or even impossible – to express emotions as you struggle feeling them in the first place.
2. You engage in mind-numbing activities
Instead of engaging in activities that require creativity or socializing, you prefer mind-numbing activities such as watching TV. What is more, you do not actually gain any real pleasure from these activities but because they do not require any effort on your part, you engage in them so as to distance yourself from the world.
3. You feel disconnected from your body and its needs
You feel lifeless and you fail to notice (or even receive) signals regarding hunger, thirst, or tiredness. Thus, you feel no connection between your physical body and yourself.
4. You feel as though you are in auto-pilot mode
You often find that it feels as though you are not participating in the events which happen in your life. Instead, you feel like a passive observer or a robot in auto-pilot mode.
5. You no longer have an interest in the things you used to enjoy
Now, your hobbies and even your closest friends seem to bore you. Even though you try to show an interest, you are overwhelmed by one thought: “What’s the point?”
Emotional numbness is not a permanent state.
It is important to know and remember that the way you feel is temporary. As with every self-development journey, learning how to feel again is a long and difficult process. However, with willpower, patience, and determination, you can regain control of your life.
1. Get in touch with your physical body
It is to be expected that when one feels emotionally numb and disconnected from their body, exercising may be the last thing they want to do. However, getting in touch with your physical body and engaging in exercises such as swimming, running, or yoga can awaken your feelings and remind you what it is like to feel alive.
2. Visualize the barrier between you and the world
Think deeply about how you are feeling and try to visualize the barrier that you feel between you and the external world. Imi Lo suggests asking yourself the following questions to gain more insight on how you are feeling:
How thick is the barrier? What is it made of? Is it cold metal? Plastic? Or maybe cotton wool? Does it feel cold or warm? Does it move around? Has it remained static or grown in thickness over time? Do you see that it now has cracks in it? If your barrier has a personality and a voice, what is it saying to you? Are you ready to let it go?
Acknowledge that the walls you’ve built have served a purpose and recognize that you do not need them any longer. Imi Lo stresses the importance of positive affirmations as they write that you might consider repeating the following phrase when visualizing the wall you’ve built: “Thank you for protecting me all these years. Without you, couldn’t live through those hard times. However, I am stronger now, and I no longer need you. I promise you, I will take care of myself. It is safe for us to say goodbye.”
While these three points are helpful to many, some will find that they may need to seek professional help to get a better idea of how they can learn to feel again. At the end of the day, the important thing to remember is that you have all it takes to overcome the state you’re in.


iheartintelligence--2020-10-21--Frequent Anger and Irritability Could Signal Depression

Did you know that getting angry or irritable on a regular basis is related to depression ?
Most of us get triggered – even if slightly – by petty things happening in our lives or the lives of others .
Being mad at your cheating boyfriend is surely justified .
However , a reaction with similar emotional intensity for not being able to get to work on time or for someone not answering the phone could qualify as petty .
Isn ’ t that so ?
Not many people understand that their episodes of irritability or anger are closely linked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health Organization ( WHO ) , depression is characterized by an absence of motivation , lack of interest and joy , low energy , anxiety , reduced appetite , bad sleep , no self-love , guilt for past mistakes , and surprisingly , symptoms that can not be explained by medical experts yet .
You may have noticed that anger is missing from this list… As many years of research have shown , symptoms of depression can vary depending on its level of severity .
Unlike people going through mild depression , those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep on being productive , sociable , or active in their own households .
It is worth noting that in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , which many people call the bible of psychiatry , anger is not listed as a core symptom for deep depression .
Attesting to this , Dr. Maurizio Fava , a psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School said that anger is not part of the symptoms for depression in adults .
Interestingly , it is listed as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But why are adults missing here ?
To some degree , this is explained by Renee D. Goodwin , who looked into association in youths between coping behavior when angered and depression .
She discovered that coping behaviors such as drug abuse , aggressive behavior coping , and emotional coping when angered , increase the chance of deep depression .
In addition , physical activity was linked to lower levels of depression .
She added that what teens see as a coping mechanism for anger could in fact be linked to depression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teen continues being aggressive or abuses substances even after 18 years of age , then anger episodes and , in turn , depression are highly likely .
Even though there is not much data about this , it will be crucial for future research .
According to the WHO people who have depression accompanied by manic episodes , such as bipolar disorder , show irritable mood , pressure when speaking , overreaction , disturbed sleep , and inflated confidence .
Dr. Fava wonders why anger or irritability is not widely considered as part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ depression with manic episodes .
Why is it that a grown-up person with a ton of anger inside is categorized as bipolar or having a personality disorder ?
About 20 years ago mental illness was considered a taboo topic in many parts of the world .
Be it then or now , depression is mostly associated with being sad , lifeless , joyless , emotionally hurt but never or hardly in relation to feelings like anger .
We blindly believe everything we read on medical websites and diagnostic manuals that are not including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Fava has tasked himself with observing patients in his clinic who have issues with anger but are categorized as having other diagnoses .
The reason behind this is that people think a person should not be angry if they are depressed .

It is widely believed that depressed individuals are angry at themselves , but there are many who suffer from depression who have been found to act aggressively .
They are later overcome with regret and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anger can be expressed towards us and towards the people around us .
In his article ‘ Anger attacks in patients with depression ’ , Fava talks about anger attacks resembling panic attacks except for the lack of predominant effects of anxiety and fear linked to panic attacks .
And according to his research piece ‘ Depression with anger attacks ’ , this type of anger and aggressive behavior was lower in the 53 % to 71 % of depressed individuals treated with anti-depressants .
It is important to note , however , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still need to be carried out .
If one looks at the massive amount of information available on depression , anxiety , and mood disorders , it can easily be concluded that anger has been mostly neglected .
Dr. Fava suggests that there is a need for looking into all the variables and all the kinds of patterns or levels of anger that human beings experience .
In a piece titled ‘ Anger in the context of postnatal depression : An integrative review ’ , the data showed that anger is an overlooked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Experts believe that the expression of maternal anger after child-birth is mostly unclear .
Data from a study titled ‘ Depression is More Than Just Sadness : A Case of Excessive Anger and Its Management in Depression ’ , showed that there is data for therapeutic and pharmacological management for depression but it barely addresses symptoms of anger .

In his survey of thousands of patients , Zimmerman and his co-workers asked people whether they felt or showed anger ( and to what extent ) in the week before .

Your childhood experiences affect who you become as an adult.
If you have felt serious pain or emotional trauma as a child, you mind find yourself stuck in certain situations in your adult life. Our childhood emotional wounds generally stem from the relational dynamics between us and our caregivers.
While there are numerous different types of emotional wounds, three common wounds relate to independence, affection, and self-esteem.
1. Independence:
If your freedom and independence were severely limited when you were a child, you might struggle in your adult life. Growing up in an environment where your decision-making skills were always questioned and criticized can have negative effects on you as an adult; that is, you might lack the confidence to make decisions and take initiative in your adult life. In addition, your passive nature and your indecisiveness may make it easy for people to control you or take advantage of you.
2. Affection:
A child who is deprived of love, affection, and support, grows up feeling lonely, isolated, and inadequate. In their adult life, they grow up to seek validation externally so as to get rid of their belief that they are not good enough. This means that they may grow up to be people-pleasers and/or overly concerned with what people think of them. In other words, adults who have childhood emotional wounds relating to affection struggle with self-love.
3. Self-esteem:
Emotional wounds relating to self-esteem generally stem from rejection. A child who has consistently been rejected by their caregivers will struggle immensely in their adult life. Being blamed, criticized, humiliated, and devalued is extremely harmful and can even be traumatic. As adults, people who have faced rejection from their loved ones tend to have extremely low self-confidence.
The first step to overcoming and healing your emotional wounds is to see and recognize them.
Once you do, you can work to find out where they stem from and how you let them affect your adult life. Often, people need to seek the help of a professional who will be able to guide them and make it easier to notice patterns.
