Be unkind to yourselves, people. I find the best way to prevent depression and burn-out is to be brutally, ruthlessly frank with myself. There's nothing positive in accepting weakness and failure. I always feel better when I hold myself to the highest standards and don't make excuses. Of course, I don't always manage to fully do that but it's something to aspire to.
Please don't do this to yourself.
Please go and get help.
Brains really don't work this way, and you are damaging yourself.
If you're sad just don't be sad. Easy peasy just like that.
Nah, I'm good. You have no clue how brains actually work.
How do brains actually work?
What's the analog of rhabdomyolysis for the mind? You're on a path to get it, bud. Not a personal attack, just my and a whole bunch of other people's experiences.
Burnout, anxiety disorders, panic attacks. One of them.
Lol spare us the pop psychology and concern trolling. Your lame analogy has about as much scientific validity as phrenology.
