Any advice you get here will at most be useful for those people who are occasionally suffering from low energy during the normal course of life.

You, as you yourself stated, are having a total burnout. You need professional help. Try looking for different kinds of help if the waiting list is too long for what you need the most. Some kind of group therapy perhaps, somebody who is helping people build up strength after Long Covid perhaps. Consider moving back to be with your family or another group of people who will be supportive.

If doing a masters and having a 30 hours job at the same time has brought you to a burnout (triggered perhaps by some other events in your life). Then you can't recover while you keep on doing those two. Something will have to go (the job, or the study) while you recover. That is a very difficult thing to face and accept, but once the body and the mind has a breakdown after prolonged stress, there is no other way to recover. Any advice you get to get you back on your feet in two weeks is for the normal "pushed yourself a bit too much for a few months or a year" cases.


Definitely a spoiler for most people. Even though many will start to guess where it is going.


Nice!! Do you happen to know any similar spaces where a 10 year old can further explore programming, technology or science?

My son's teacher recommended that he skip a grade but I would rather keep him in the same grade and give him other fun things to do on the side. He's currently most interested in programming, making stop motion films and chess, but I think some exposure to physics or chemistry might grab his attention too.

Preferably close to Amsterdam, but a short drive is doable too.


ZB45 and LAG are the first that come to mind. Have fun!

edit: the first: Zeeburgerpad 45, the second: Eerste schinkelstraat 16

I don't have a phone number or other contact info, sorry!


Cool! The one on Eerste Schinkelstraat will be very convenient. Thanks.

EDIT: And it seems that they have a website and a wiki https://laglab.org/ https://ikiwiki.laglab.org/


you might also try TechInc, another Amsterdam hackerspace https://techinc.nl/ they have open social evenings every wednesday starting at 19:00 :)


Great recommendation. And it seems they have an open day coming up, next Saturday. We will try to go by. Thanks.


As an Indian, I wish that India would take a stronger stance against the Putin regime. I can understand them trying to stay neutral against a historic ally though, that is the reality of the modern geopolitics.

At the very least, I hope they keep out of the way of the countries that are standing with Ukraine today. There is clearly only one right side at this stage of this invasion.


Not sure what you need exactly but BPDFamily https://www.bpdfamily.com/ (especially the forums) is a great resource for people with a BPD person in their lives. Good luck.


Oh wow! Thanks for that gem. I have managed to never eat from FEBO but the next time somebody suggests it, I can add a little nerdy know-it-all to my snub :-P


More about SBSK - https://sbsk.org/story/


Special Books by Special Kids (SBSK) is a very inspiring project that gives thousands of disabled children a place where they can express themselves and find acceptance and encouragement.

The comments on their Youtube videos are a valuable place where disabled children, their parents and other adults can connect with each other. It seems that Youtube has disabled the comments on their video channel. Is there anybody here from Youtube who can help resolve this?


For people who have read it, what translation do you recommend?


Richard Pevear/Larissa Volokhonsky, a husband and wife team who have been translating Russian novels for close to 30 years. Having read most of Dostoevsky's works, some their translations, some others, I highly recommend their translations when available.


Those two are fantastic, largely because they don't translate. Rather they re-write the works in the target language that both of them speak extremely well.


amazon (no ref): https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143108271

in case anyone has the same issues I did finding it.


Also executablble should be executable.


Thanks for pointing this. The typo has been corrected.
