>insomnia is very much psychological

There are so many causes of insomnia, it is not purely psychological. That's like saying stomach aches are "very much psychological".

Chronic insomnia may also be associated with medical conditions or the use of certain drugs.

Medical conditions. Examples of conditions linked with insomnia include chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overactive thyroid, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Sleep-related disorders. Sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing periodically throughout the night, interrupting your sleep. Restless legs syndrome causes unpleasant sensations in your legs and an almost irresistible desire to move them, which may prevent you from falling asleep.

>driving will always be more convenient

If I want to get from home in Unity to visit family in NH and back, I need a 45 minute car ride from someone to a bus that takes 3 1/4 hours with five stops, or a 1 1/2 hours ride to a train that takes almost 2 hours with 4 stops, then with either, another 45 minute car ride from someone- EACH WAY. Between tickets and gas, it costs $35-95.

If I drive myself, it's a bit over a 5 hour round trip that costs about $30 in gas.

I don't expect Maine to ever have good public transportation because we just don't have the population to support it, but damn, it would be nice.

Beautiful!

The sky over here in Winterport looked like multiple colors of cotton candy this morning. It was amazing.

YouTube premium is totally worth it. We have the family plan, 6 accounts total, just went from $18 to $25 and I still think it's worth it. YouTube Music is the best music streaming platform I've found, the algorithms are on point, and NO ADS on YouTube.

You're the second person in this thread to say this and I'm going to emulate y'all. I just did the math and realized I'm only saving about 10-20 minutes driving 70-75 on my way home, but increasing my stress a lot. I rarely have a time limit on getting home, I'm going to chill and listen to music instead of stressing over how long it's taking.

It's fine to want to end one's life in nature but there are a lot of places that aren't as public as Acadia NP. If someone really wants to give themselves back to nature, they should go up to a forest in the County where nobody will ever find them.
