Better vehicle, same people. 🤷🙂
I’d flip your mom’s position in bed.
I usually point to Sandman (Neil Gaiman) as best-in-genre, personally. But it’s like any genre – some people prefer Don Quixote, others prefer East of Eden.
Exercise helped me, but didn’t work by itself.
Adding therapy helped more, but didn’t work by itself.
Adding meds helped more, but I don’t lean on them alone.
Which is just to say, it’s not either/or. :-)
That said, I started going on long nature hikes, usually 4-5 miles but up to 17 sometimes. Download podcasts and music for offline access. Later, my therapist suggested taking notes after my walks, about how I felt / what was on my mind – now I do it more often than not, and it’s been helpful too.
Tanking Janet Jackson’s career and slut-shaming Britney. Both were accepted behaviors at the time, but IMO that just makes it worse, he never even had to really account for it.

Either that or you’ll be sole-mates.
If you don’t already, you can view your watch history and delete things.
I do that with anything not music related, and it keeps my recommendations extremely clean.
Talking about work during a business dinner does not equal hours. Thinking about work ideas after hours does not equal hours. Fostering a business connection does not equal work hours.
And if they do, then I get to count stressing in the shower, arguments in my head while I go for a walk, ranting to my partner about work problems, and keeping in touch with former coworkers.
Unresolved Textual Tension is a great YouTube / podcast for book reviews and/or roasts. Generally a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, largely newer stuff (The Locked Tomb, Murderbot, Kushiel) with some classics thrown in (Dune, Hyperion). The show features 3 people with great chemistry.
The competition is indeed stiff.
Objectively, it sounds like it’s an innocent tradition and a healthy charity.
Subjectively, it’s tone-deaf af, when the rule-makers perform superstition for such a massive world-changing problem. Basically “thoughts and prayers.”
