re: #152 CuriousLurker

So in other news, I visited my shrink today and he assured me that I’m neither delusional nor neurotic, I just need to stop ingesting too much bad news and other negative things and/or stop taking them to heart because people are as they always have been and always will be: imperfect, often short-sighted, and sometimes downright horrible. Oh, and I no longer need to go every month, it’s every other month now. Woohoo! *happy dance*

Stress like that is endemic in my family. Sister, mother, me. It sucks, and you have my sympathies.

You’re aware of it and working it, and I don’t have any insight that’s better than what you just said. All that can be done is mindfulness: you can’t control people, just how you react to them.

Being mindful of your mindfulness in real time, though…

I prescribe reggae.
