When You Welcome Such Masses of Refugees, You Sure Need A Surveillance State

Dennis

It’s time for a political rant again. Today I went to my bank because I saved money and since it’s easier to count 100 Euro notes, I wanted to exchange my remaining 50 Euro notes. The idea did sound easy, just go to the bank with 300 Euro in 50 Euro notes, and ask them to give me 3 green 100 Euro notes. The woman behind the bar then asked me for my credit card and I told her that I just would want to exchange the notes to larger ones, I didn’t plan to put this on my account. … Continue reading When You Welcome Such Masses of Refugees, You Sure Need A Surveillance State

Discussing The Therapy End

Dennis

I mentioned already that I was in a therapy since the end of 2014. It’s a therapy for depression and anxiety disorder. I suffered from depression and anxiety disorder but the problems waned over the years as I have read a lot about it and as I developed strategies to reduce the interval of my panic attacks. However, I contacted a therapist anyway last year as I mentioned, reason was that the problems can still randomly appear at times. Also I do often suffer from extreme sleep problems but they come and go in phases as all the other symptoms. … Continue reading Discussing The Therapy End

This list will be mainly related to the WordPress.com community. This community is a great one. A powerful community with powerful tools.
