I asked this in the "hello" forum... i know its not the appropriate place, but do you want to talk about the mine train? It helps to get my mind off things.
I know that a lot of people think it's too short, but my wife and I (a few weeks ago) were fortunate enough to ride it twice, and aside from Rock n' Roller Coaster, it's my favorite ride.
I have never been able to ride 7DMT yet. Right now, some of my physical issues are preventing me from riding a *bunch* of the rides; if I can't ride on (in my personal device, or a Parks wheelchair) then I can't experience it. At the moment. It's one of my big goals at Physical Therapy, to be able to ride pretty much anything my back can tolerate!
So, I have watched a TON of POV videos; same with POC, anything at Pandora and FEA at Epcot. I'm especially interested in Frozen Ever After, simply because I do want to see the new generation of AA in action!
We went to MK for the first time in July of 1972 - it was my 12th birthday. My dad had grudgingly acquiesced - as long as we didn't spend more than 2 days in central Florida! His "sticker shock" at the prices for tickets and souvenirs was all forgotten in the face of the ride technology. He was fascinated with the animatronics, first at Country Bears, and then Haunted Mansion about blew his mind... and then we rode "If You Had Wings", and all bets were off. The speed room was all he could talk about for *days*. My mom and brother went to find a snack and some shade, and my Dad and I rode that thing two more times, each time waiting eagerly for the miracle that was the speed room.
So, I get it. The technology that goes into WDW is amazing, and I could spend hours just trying to figure out the forced perspective on Main Street in MK!
And BTW - social sciences are every bit as important as "real sciences", just in a different way!
One last thought for tonight - to go back to your original topic... I don't know how you feel about using personal technology, but Doctor On Demand (the service you can use to FaceTime with a real doctor, via an App for your device) now has mental health care available. You don't even have to leave the house. You're obviously a smart cookie - you can visit their website, or Google to learn more about how it works. I just wanted to let you know that resource is there. I have used Doctor On Demand before for stuff like sinus infections, ear infections, etc. and have had really good results. All of their doctors are licensed in the state you are in, and they can (and do) call in prescription meds to local (near to you) pharmacies.
I promise, I don't mean this to sound trite - but remember what Uncle Walt once said
You will find your new path.
