I think the modern obsession with mental health is because people have been in pain for so long, they perhaps have already tried self medicating to some degree of loss aka "it didnt work" and they are looking for a better more permanent solution, therefore leading to inner peace and stabilty and perhaps sanity and some joy. 🌈🙏🏼

Yes, and the reason I say this is because the solution for most lies in letting go of the need to keep thinking about what might be wrong with you.

Thank you for this thought provoking post. It was nice being reminded that thinking for myself and coming to unpopular conclusions is perfectly sane. I appreciate your work and look forward to reading your book.

That was really good Alex. I am down to zreo social media right now. I think they have algarithems to find what people don't like and than send you ore and more of it. I deleated X last week for that reason. Also, dropped face book 3 months ago. I like to concentrat on what is reight in front of me.
