DISCUSSION POST PSY-215: ANXIETY, FEAR, & STRESS

It is essential for a balance to exist between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems because they work together to regulate the body's response to stress and maintain homeostasis. The sympathetic nervous system activates the "fight or flight" response, preparing the body for action during times of perceived threat or danger. On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system promotes rest, relaxation, and digestion. If there is an imbalance favoring the sympathetic nervous system, it can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and various physical health issues. Conversely, if there is an imbalance favoring the parasympathetic nervous system, it can result in lethargy and sluggishness.

In generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), anticipation is frequently experienced as excessive worry and apprehension about future events or situations. It is often accompanied by physical symptoms like restlessness, muscle tension, and difficulty concentrating. This anticipation is not specific to any particular object or situation; rather, it is a pervasive sense of worry that affects various aspects of life. In specific phobia, however, the reaction is focused on a specific object or situation that elicits intense fear or anxiety. For example, someone with a phobia of spiders may experience extreme panic when encountering a spider but may not necessarily feel anticipatory anxiety in general situations.

One way that a therapist might help a patient activate the parasympathetic nervous system to calm the mind and body is through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation. These techniques can help induce a state of relaxation by slowing down heart rate, reducing muscle tension, and promoting overall calmness.

When I hurt you, I I didn't want to believe that you, you felt pain. I know it doesn't make it right, but I'd have never have done what I did. Not if I'd have known.

Oh lord, I was so happy Mia was getting a chance to love, back in S2... Thanks for crushing that chance, Ed. Miaura will always be my main ship but I liked this otp too, until... well.

In a weird way it’s freeing, knowing that he’ll never have another regret like this. That this is the one he’ll come back to on his death bed, however far in the future that might be. This is the thing that will haunt him forever: betraying Mia. Knowing her, and selling out regardless.

When her face is plastered all over the news the night the government shows its hand, at first Ed doesn’t believe it, grasps weakly at thoughts of duplicates, lookalikes, mistaken identities. But in the end, he can’t escape it. It’s her. And she’s gone.

He joins the march, driving hours into the night and walking behind them as they gather in front of the Dryden building. People are holding candles. He doesn’t have one, so he forces his hands down in the pockets of his jacket, hiding the external emptiness. Rain lashes down, and it fits somehow, the mood of it all, but it also puts him in mind of seaspray. That day they’d spent at the water’s edge, when she’d trusted him with everything. He wishes he didn’t remember it so well. Knows he must.

Somebody pushes through the crowd, starting from behind him. Ed turns to look, sees blonde hair and utter heartbreak. For a second he’s so taken aback by the mirror of personal loss that he doesn’t even notice the violet-coloured eyes, shining more than they ought to in the moonlight. A synth, then. If he’s not mistaken, a synth who knew Mia better than he did.

She catches him looking at her, and her face resets to steel, as if a wall has gone up deliberately. Ed averts his eyes, and the next time he looks up, she’s gone. Swallowed by the crowd.

He understands, later. The world knows her name before the week is out. She’s leading the synths now, protecting them, teaching them. They say her powers are godlike, to be feared, that she’s from some higher plane of being. Ed doesn’t know about that. But he trusts her. She knew Mia.

When, six or so months later, she appears on his TV screen with a familiar face at her side, Ed feels a weight lift. Purple eyes, now, to match her sister. Eyes he’ll never meet in person, probably. But he’s glad to see them shining, all the same.

Week 10: Gaming Communities, Social Gaming and Live Streaming...

Gaming has always existed in society as a form of entertainment, an escapism from reality but with technology advancements and connectivity, the rise of social gaming and streaming has transformed the gaming culture, cultivating a worldwide community (Taylor, 2018). The introduction of online gaming bought new ways to socialise and be involved in the gaming world, much of which I see my brother apart of. With the diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome at 3, he has always been an avid gamer, the Nintendo DS his first gaming console. Asperger’s syndrome is defined as a “collection of behavioural and social characteristics which effects how people view, understand, relate and interact with themselves, other people and the world around them” (Barber, 2007).  

Due to these impairments my brother has always found it very exhausting to be around others, he struggles even with recognising basic things like someone’s facial expressions and so gaming became his solitude. It’s important to note that many others like him also turn to gaming as a way to have a ‘break’ from reality. He is much better at engaging with others verbally or through typing and has successfully been able to form friendships, showcasing that the gaming community can be a place of inclusivity, connection and freedom.    

Much like Taylor (2018) describes his relationship with Television, my brothers’ relationship with gaming is not dissimilar, providing him with connectivity to the outside world, material for conversations, entertainment and something that keeps him company. The growth of streaming platforms such as Twitch, Facebook gaming, Microsoft Mixer and YouTube has enabled games to be more inclusive, sharing private game play to the public. These live streams can sometimes have just family or friends or 100s-1000s of people watching them, the broadcast intertwining televisual, computer gaming, the internet and computer-mediated communication (Taylor, 2018).    

Gaming and play are extremely powerful sources which facilitate a deep connection to the things that impact our lives. Social isolation and lack of support can translate into spiralling mental health and can cause issues such as anxiety and depression. Gaming for many has been something that prevents this, keeping them connected to the outside world and making them feel apart of something bigger and that their contribution matters (Hooley et.al, 2016). Not only supporting socialisation online gaming platforms are also places for civic space, political discussions, media, whilst “simultaneously being a place for leisure, rest and even respite” (Taylor, 2018). Futhermore, It is important to realise that gaming is directly involved in core issues and debates that builds upon and feeds into mainstream conversations and culture (Taylor, 2018).

Humans Summer Send-Off!

Soooo, it happened, Humans is officially cancelled. They left us hanging for a YEAR just to tell us that. Booo!

But let’s not let that drag us down, for I am here with a list of things to annoy everyone with over the next, ooh, month or so at least.

Since there are a truly insane amount of characters in Humans, and a truly insane amount of stories we won’t get to see end, I’m proposing a month of Character Appreciation Days for June, like so:

Ed Hooley Appreciation Day

Edwin Hobb Appreciation Day

Milo Khoury Appreciation Day

Harun Khan Appreciation Day

Vera Appreciation Day

Agnes Appreciation Day

Athena Morrow Appreciation Day

Renie Barbour Appreciation Day

Neil Sommer Appreciation Day

Neha Patel Appreciation Day

Anatole Appreciation Day

Flash Appreciation Day

Hester Appreciation Day

Stanley Appreciation Day

Sam Appreciation Day

George Millican Appreciation Day

Pete Drummond Apppreciation Day

Astrid Schaeffer Appreciation Day

Toby Hawkins Appreciation Day

Joe Hawkins Appreciation Day

Karen Voss Appreciation Day

Fred Elster Appreciation Day

Sophie Hawkins Appreciation Day

Odi Millican (&V?) Appreciation Day

Laura Hawkins Appreciation Day

Mattie Hawkins Appreciation Day

Leo Elster Appreciation Day

Max Elster Appreciation Day

Niska Elster Appreciation Day

Mia Elster Appreciation Day

(Yes, yes, I hear you say, nobody appreciates Ed, what a stupid place to start. I vaguely tried to build up from the less main to the main characters throughout the month, and, well, as @turned-her-brain pointed out, this way puts Ed as far away as he can possibly be from Mia...)

Anyway, if you want to join me in this particular brand of Synthie madness, make a post about any or all characters on their designated day. The post can take any form you want, but here’s some ideas of what to include if you want them:

Why you like/don’t like the character

Favourite moments or quotes

Headcanons

Ideal ending/continuation of their plot

Who you ship them with, if anyone (remember it’s also Pride Month, so let’s hear those LGBT+ interpretations!!!)

Songs that remind you of them

Fanart (your own, or a link to the post someone else made - we will not have stealing here, thank you)

Fic??? Fic recs?

What a spinoff centred on them would be about

What you’d tell them, if you could

Feel free to tag this sideblog in your post, so we can have them all reblogged here!

Let’s love (or love to hate!) each of these characters loudly in the wake of the cancellation - they’re ours now.

*headbump*

PS. If I’ve forgotten your favourite side character, feel free to substitute them in somewhere. Admittedly, including Harun on the top 30 was a gigantic act of biased self-indulgence. Go crazy.

4th Comedy Monologue

“Hands up if you just love combining strange foods together and gauging down on them while watching netflix on a late night?”

Oh yes you over there what do you like to conjure up?  

Gravy and rice,Nandos mayo on pasta or...or  lightly salted Doritos dipped into a  KFC Oreo Krushem

KFC,Kentucky Fried Chicken or Kentucky I can’t say the word but this is what baby me would’ve called it Chicken  one of the biggest fast food chains in the world or mainly in the UK while America has so many fast food places we only have a couple of their places while the rest are mainly local

They have tacos,soups and stacked burgers over here we only have the odd few places and then the chippy down the street

Speaking of chips, who here has tried their new chunky chips yet?

Ok,quite a few of you enjoy your potatoes being chunky and the rest of you like chips how you like your make up covered in plastic and full of chemicals.

Personally despite not minding the new chunky chips I’d go with liking both of them  but I’ve seen mixed reviews

Some prefer the chunk others don’t, while some of their chips weren’t bad I get the same feeling from eating them that I get from our everyday weather

“It’s very dull isn’t it? like my eyes when I lose sleep”

Sometimes you just want to get the blanket out and have some britcom and chill

Which I know probably isn’t going to catch on since most of you prefer watching american teen dramas about comic book characters where the same person who plays Salem the cat

is the same guy who was in that old disney or nick tv show from your childhood

Either that or your someone more into looking at images of Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor’s actors from the Bohemian Rhapsody film

then again me neither, and I mean the Roger Taylor from Queen not the Roger Taylor from Duran Duran although they’re both cuties

John Deacon and Brian May’s actors too

When I watch films I try to teleport myself into the film’s universe as much as I can

I got a bit of a surprise when heard a northern irish actor playing one of Freddie’s lovers Paul Frenter

On hand Yay! More representation!, more film opportunities, on the other hand he plays the villian!

When I went to see the film I expected some things but then again outside of their music I didn’t know much about the personal lives of Queen,

In one of the scenes with Paul Frenter I was like is this a film about classic rock legends or does it want me to break free?

So my/this country has been featured quite a few times recently in films hasn’t it

Derry Girls,Coming Home,Game of Thrones,Star Wars etc.

While I’m listing these I think your noticing something in the intonation and tone of my voice

It’s that despite being Northern Irish my voice doesn’t sound like I come from there

I come from the land of punk music,Nirvana and chip shops but because I looked up to Hannah Montana,Lady Gaga and P!nk for most of my life so as I got older I ended up sounding like a alternative instagram model before instagram even existed.

That and with the  stuff I was interested in I could go from being into Music,Games and books to being interested in the cultures of different countries

I used to love typical american based things,then japanese things during my weeaboo phase although I will admit that phase might still be going on,German things,Scandinavian things etc.etc.

In the year Instagram was invented 2010,I was on holiday on florida and because my yank voice of stars and stripes was developing the people in florida didn’t know I was from a different country that’s how confusing my voice was,

I mean I know now. some people here are like me and don’t have the accent but even before that as a child my voice was so high if someone went up to me or had a conversation with me it would be like talking to a balloon.

You’ll float too!   (evil voice)   (mickey mouse voice) Hiya Fellas it’s me Mickey Mouse

But if we are talking about representation and how we identify with certain people or characters

I’d say I’m not really much of a liam neeson type of irish person I’m more of a Ed Byrne irish person

I like potatoes,punk music and pirates how about ye

So speaking of certain generations liking certain other alternative things

A lot of people have started  liking blur recently

Then again who likes the gallaghers anyway?

So the people liking Blur are like what I used to be like about One Direction

Pulp are pretty good too I like me some of Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker in his younger days actually looked a  lot like Ed Byrne other times he looks like Tim Burton

There is one thing I disagree with Jarvis Cocker on though and it’s his short tea about michael jackson

Basically during the 1996 brit awards he showed his bum to the public in protest of the cringy performance michael jackson was doing

Oh,great now that makes it sound even more wrong

Jarvis was defintely off his cocker but he wasn’t mooning the moonwalker...ok he was

He  interviewed a furby on the radio moving on

So, Michael Jackson one of the rock legends alongside bowie and mercury

You either like him,adore him,not really care about him or dislike him based on the rumours and scandals created about him by certain people and publications

I love him,he was peculiar sometimes but I was fascinated by that by his neverland,

by his talent and by how he was able to reach into the hearts of millions

So many opportunities for comics and actors to make creative jokes or puns

but nope let’s joke about the one thing some people mainly associate him with outside of his music which he was tormented for the rest of his life.

Oh almost forgot my blanket,at least I’m not dangling it over a window balcony

(deadpan stare)

Cringing can at times feel like a sting from a bee

Speaking of bees we apparently won’t have them for much longer

Bees are now next to pandas and Tigers in the endangered animals of the USA

Have we learned nothing from the bad history of colonization!

Well in the words of Suggs  let’s bless the bees

Besides It’s the wasps you should be killing not the bloody bees

  you can remove the cause but not the symptom

It’s a bit of a mind flip as the future continues we are heading into a  time slip

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

I’ve recently been listening to the soundtrack of Rocky Horror Picture Show

But not just that the sequel too

Some of you know what I’m talking about and the rest are probably surprised that a rocky horror sequel even exists

It’s called Shock Treatment it came out in 1981 and it was less successful

It’s more focused on Brad and Janet as they live in a fictional town called Denton

Where everything is televised as the town is located inside a tv studio,

Not too different from 2019  seeing as we are all looking at screens that show manufactured faces,

The storyline is about how reality tv affects the public and mental health

Considering reality tv hasn’t changed much since then I’d say that film was quite accurate in it’s satire

Do I need to bring up roxanne from Celebrity Big Brother?  

Brad is not feeling good after the events of the first film so he and Janet have been having marriage problems.

They go on a game show hosted by tosser in a purple wig...I mean Barry Humphries as they sing about how they relate to refrigerators and toasters

Such a mood

Brad is then sent to the set of a fictional soap opera Dentonvale which takes place in a mental hospital

Where the character actors are played by some of the same actors from the original such as Patricia Quinn,Richard O'Brien and Nell Young

The songs are actually quite good

Especially the title song,little black dress,farley’s song,Breaking Out  and Me of Me

For those of you curious to see that film watch it

If you like rocky and if your ok with  rocky going from the sci-fi horror genre to the musical comedy genre

When you see that Time Warp sequence in Rocky Horror it’s like a circus just a group of talented people being their kooky,incredible fun vibrant selves

It’s art house,it’s shock humour,it’s surreal but it’s fun and it’s out of this world

Like Belfast sometimes a few weeks back I was there and the streets were full of performers

There were musicians,actors,comedians,stunt artists and even a very tall person on stilts

It’s things like these that make me realise how creative this country is

A lot of good talent is overshadowed from our lack of representation in media to being ignored in projects

Northern Ireland is a cool place

Kurt Cobain,Stiff Little Fingers,Van Morrison,Two Door Cinema Club,Patricia Quinn,Mark Ashton,Terri Hooley, Jimmy McShane and all you performers,singers,actors,dancers,designers,Producers,Directors,Artists and Creators

are all from here

I’m just a sweet transvestite from Hibernia--i ha ha

We're going to do it anyhow, anyhow

We're going to do it anyhow, anyhow

We're going to do it

No matter how the wind is blowing

We're going to do it anyhow, anyhow

We're going to do it anyhow, anyhow

We're going to do it

We just gotta keep going

The sun never sets for those who ride on it

Goodnight!

ED APPRECIATION DAY

@channel4humans

•

Ed is here demonstrating the look of disappointment we all had upon finding out that he was terrible (if kind of understandably terrible).

Oh, Ed. Such potential. But then you had to go and do that.

You know what though, I do appreciate this guy, for being a fairly believable character and for providing an emotional arc for Mia in s2 that we might otherwise not have got to see. And she also (before it went sour) got to experience intimacy on her own terms.

And without Ed, we would never have got to see her SLAP SOMEONE TO THE LITERAL FLOOR, amazing.

Anyway.

Did anyone suspect Ed of being dodgy until the e3 chintap? I totally didn’t see it coming, so, well-played. He had the makings of a nice, sweet ally to the Elsters, so to have that taken away was A Real Shocker™. Also, it was the catalyst for the s2 Miaura reunion, so for that, I’ll always be grateful to this particular idiot.

Thanks, Sam Palladio, for a great portrayal of a kind of terrible, but kind of understandably terrible, person.

If there had been a series 4, I wouldn’t necessarily have wanted Ed to appear, because I feel like his story’s done. Particularly if there was no Mia. But, off in the background, I think he should have joined some kind of pro-synth movement, even if it was only out of guilt.

[channel4humans]

1st June: Ed Hooley

What better way to kick off Appreciation Month than with one of the least appreciated characters of the bunch? Look, it’ll get easier from here on out, folks. For now, let’s at least remember that Ed brought us tHE most epic Mia moment of series 3... thwack!

Remember to tag @channel4humans in your Ed posts today, supposing tumblr lets you.
