At core, the usual dynamic duo of anxiety and depression aren’t about being scared, or sad.
They’re about hope. The lack of it. And that’s not a matter of attitude at all
The struggle against them is struggle to keep finding hope, every fucking day.
You don’t create it out of nothing. You can’t wish it into being. You have to dig deep and hope you find it before the sides of the hole fall in on you.
Trying to reduce the tools that help keep those sides from sliding faster isn’t useful, even though it’s true. Mindfulness is a tool to find hope, not a replacement for it.
Eh, it’s true but reductionist.

Well said.
Also doing stuff. Doing stuff is useful.
