  Ok, I think I'm getting in over my head on this computer problem, any help much appreciated! (Linux/Opensuse TW/KDE/btrfs) Symptom: Everything that tries to save something to my home partition (configurations, sessions, kwallet, etc.) says that I have no space left, and thus won't work. Some programs won't even load (Vivaldi, Steam). Every file manager I have tells me that I do have space left.

  So tomorrow is the big day that I've been... anticipating... for months now: my first appointment with a psychiatrist. And yeah, I'm a bit nervous.

  @filmfreak75 @actuallyautistic If you can find a decent practitioner, Neuro-Linguistic Programming has several techniques for dealing with trauma, triggers, and reactions of all kinds. And they are generally more effective (and pleasant) than more traditional things like CBT. The only problem is that it can be hard to find someone who practices it. Failing that, you might be able to find resources online to use yourself, but I haven't looked for that specifically so I'm not sure.
