If you’re anxious. just relax. If you’re depressed, just cheer up.

Weirdly enough I thought about doing this at some point. Because my anxiety has a limit, I already did shock therapy by playing gigs in front of like 150 people or busking. But just thinking of these things as a fun experiment is maybe a good way to frame it.

IMHO, just see through the whole illusion instead. End the suffering. See that it’s all based on false assumptions. Try Sam Harris app “Waking Up”. Check out “the ten fetters”. If any of those things ring true to you, you’re in a good way. Don’t take my word for it. Don’t take Sams word for it, or Kevins. This is all done by yourself,for yourself. You will know if it’s bullshit or not.

This is free advice from a medium expensive counselor who mostly works on insurance reimbursement: Most modern pop psychology is finding a way to repackage “try not to think about it” into more palatable terms because a great deal of “mental illness” is directly attributable to systemic issues that have no end in sight
