    Looks like someone may need some help learning how to manage unhelpful thoughts

      No, just distract yourself! It reminds me of the joke Louis CK would tell about folks texting and driving at red lights. Like they can’t just be alone with their thoughts for two seconds, they neeeed to distract themselves before they hear their own voice. I think there’s some value in just letting it all out in your head sometimes, and maybe figuring out where to put it all.

        Absolutely none of the therapy techniques were truly effective for me until I was on the right medication. I’m not saying this is the case for you, but if you have honestly been struggling with everything you’ve tried, that’s not you not being good enough or trying hard enough. It’s just a sign you might need meds on top of it.
