      you whereyou are on your therapeutic journey, and provides an
      integrative approach to treating BPD drawing on evidence-based

      different styles (such as anxious, avoidant, and stable), giving

      scenarios (both romantic and otherwise), how that plays out
      internally and in relations between the types.
    • Comment provided by recommendee: The advice was actionable and I
      could see that, if someone undertook them, they would go from
      someone who is dissatisfied with their relationships to someone,
      if not immediately and miraculously successful would be able to
      say "This is because of this. I know that now. I can do this and
      get something different or make peace with it in this way and
      devote my energy elsewhere."

    • supplemental presentation slides
      • targeted at docs, can be a neat overview or refresher after if you're into the jargon
    • From the blurb: "A central source of frustration for most adults
      with ADHD is that they know what they need to do but they have
      difficulties turning their intentions into actions. These
      difficulties also interfere with their ability to use self-help
      books and to get the most out of psychosocial treatments that
      provide coping strategies that promise to improve their
      functioning. [...] The Adult ADHD Tool Kit: Using CBT to
      Facilitate Coping Inside and Out is a coping guide for adults
      living with ADHD, one that does not just present useful coping
      strategies but also provides specific tactics designed to help
      readers implement these skills in their daily lives and brings
      them to life in a user-friendly format. The authors discuss many
      different settings in which ADHD may cause difficulties,
      including work, school, matters of physical health and
      well-being, and the issue of excessive use of technology."

    • From the Anon recommending: One of my worst habits is either/or
      thinking (otherwise known as black and white thinking or
      dichotomous thinking). This book helped me realize that no two
      sides are as incompatible as I have a tendency to think they are
      and helped me work on developing a new framework in my
      thinking. Invaluable to anyone suffering from this.

Other Books

This section is dedicated to books that, while not self-help books or
technical resources, helped people get better. What that can entail
is a deeply personal matter, but remember there are more than enough
people just like you. Don't shy away from recommending those that
were good for you.

  • Man's Search for Meaning, Viktor E. Frankl
    • ISBN: 067166736X, 9780671667368
    • internet archive (PDF, EPUB)
    • libgen (PDF)
    • Anna's Archive (PDF)
    • Anna's Archive (EPUB)
    • Comment provided by recommendee: Its about Frankl's experiences
      in a concentration camp and what kept him clinging to life when
      many of his fellow inmates gave up or killed themselves. He
      talks about how he gave himself hope for the future, of seeing
      his wife again, of continuing his practice in psychology and
      completing his book. He took Netzchie's principle that "he who
      has a why to live can bear with almost any how" and used that to
      survive the harsh years in the camp. He saved himself by giving
      himself hope for the future. Its a very powerful book and
      strong advice I'd give to those in despair.

4chanx flag support for June

Taken from a pastebin kindly circulated by anons every year.

// Installation instructions: Open the 4chan-X userscript in the editor. Hit ctrl+f and search for "if (g.BOARD.config.board_flags) {" and paste the contents of this pastebin into the previous line
// If there are no board flags declared, but we can see that the flag selector exists, then we know that we have to add them ourselves.
if ((g.BOARD.config.board_flags == null) && (g.BOARD.ID == "lgbt") && document.getElementsByClassName("flagSelector")[0].options) {
    console.log("Board flags not declared. Using workaround.");
    // create board flags object
    g.BOARD.config.board_flags = {};
    // go through the options in the flag dropdown menu and add them to the list
    for (let cOption of document.getElementsByClassName("flagSelector")[0].options) {
        g.BOARD.config.board_flags[cOption.value] = cOption.textContent;
    }
    // delete the "None" option
    delete g.BOARD.config.board_flags["0"];
    console.log("Detected the following flags: ", g.BOARD.config.board_flags);
}
