For many reasons, I might enjoy therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has helped me in the past, but it alone ignores the existence of the mind living in the body. Good therapists will try to bring you to the awareness of as much of your being as possible, when you are ready and at your own pace, in order for you to become more whole, and being more whole makes you stronger to face the insanity of the real world. I think most people would agree that fundamentally the modern world is whack. It’s a looney toons show out there in the real world, and maybe just saying that is an insult to looney toons. I feel like old Goggins, having to walk around and pretend my shit don’t stink, but it does. It does.

This writing of this post was triggered by some thinking after watching this video:

What a profitably business idea, to create a world of problems causing mental health issues, and then to create a myriad of solutions to solve these problems that are rising in young people for who knows what reason huh? Yea, I wonder where have I seen this business model before?…

A couple years back when I was wondering what to major in college, psychology had come across my mind briefly. I felt like I was going insane, and I thought that if I was feeling this way, there’s probably a lot of other people who do too, and honestly a lot of the signals I was getting in the world seemed negative, making me draw away from reading the news in general, disassociating myself away from society, which triggers other people to judge me and make the problem worse for me.

This is not supposed to be a post slandering the existence of the mental health resources that exist in the healthcare systems. All I’m saying is, think about it. The systems we are born into in the USA are like slaughter houses. They will take you, fatten you up (education and training), in order for you to work and extract as much value out of you as possible before you are thrown out for someone else (slaughtered and consumed).

This is getting too negative, and I’ve vowed to be less negative and fight my natural tendencies towards doomerist ideology. I had to cut out, if you can believe it, 10x cringe shit I wrote, if you can believe I can do worse.

Good morning and let the beautiful sunshine wash over you. Let the feelings of negativity, of crushing doom and gloom flow through you and out. Acknowledge your unhappiness and happiness, of your feelings of oppression and freedom to act in your little pockets of agency, your feelings of isolation and oddness in groups or your momentary feelings of oneness in feeling like you belong to something greater than the sum of its constituents.
