    I think this is good advice but I’d say do it after doing some therapy that has helped. Of course everyone experience is different. For me, I was in a black multi year depression, did a big move to try to reset things, and basically just fell in my face luckily I got better after doing some therapy and making another big move.

    above I mentioned my experience with therapy & medication. I did some therapy that got me unstuck then scraped together money for a plane ticket to teach English in China for a year. That was a great reset and then when I came back to the states I was able to do more therapy and really get my shit together. (Then I went back to China lol)

      i don’t really think of what i said as advice because all those things are out of reach, but if therapy and drugs don’t help that makes me think the cause (or a major confounding factor) is something they can’t help with like living under capitalism.

      shrink can’t prescribe me a place that’s tolerable to live and 100 people who care and are happy to see me
