If you’re going through a psychological rough patch, there’s an alternative lens

If those thoughts weren’t natural, and in our biology, they wouldn’t be here

Now, as far as their prevalence, and to the extent of severity of negative symptoms is concerned, that’s from additional environment stressors, from which we can control

As you know, I’ve been the anxious, and the socially awkward guy for decades

I’ve tried anti-anxiety meds twice in my life, probably 15 years ago. I felt 30% better, but it dampened my energy, drive, and creativity

I decided to treat it as my friend, and have adopted it as my own

At times, it’s a double edge sword, but wouldn’t trade it because I want to ‘feel’

Humans have adopted these, for survival purposes, over the millennia

The more you consider these mental games as ‘wars’ in your mind, the harder they persist

Be kind to yourself; That is your temple
