It’s all in my head 🧠

One of the most liberating things is to realize that anxiety and mental illness more generally is not real – it’s all in your imagination. Now all the doctors, medication companies and drug dealers don’t want you to hear this – but if it’s not real it doesn’t matter. Anxiety and delusions aren’t real, they are something contrived in your mind based on focusing on things that may exist in this world but have a much lesser of an importance then you want to subscribe to them.

One of the worse things to say to somebody who is anxious is that their thoughts matter. If it’s bothering you then its a problem. Not it’s not. It’s only a problem because you, yourself is making it a problem. Literally, all you need to do is laugh a bit, find something else to interest your troubled mind. Mental illness is not real, it’s merely a construct and a label that imprisons one’s mind when one adopts the label.
