At under no circumstances allow the thought machine to wonder alone during a silent moment. Constantly drown it under a huge pile of information so that it can't ever go very far, otherwise it will look for a vein of negative emotions and dig deep inside.
Stop posting, ME, aha. Thats a dangerous, treacherous path, internet friend. Can I ask what stimuli makes you want to information-overload yourself to numb yourself to?
Ah k. Been there :(
If you'd indulge me for a moment, I wonder what that means for you more situationally, like
do you find most challenging in your life currently (besides yourself/depression)?
I wish you luck on your quest to live a fulfilling life.
Really hope you find something meaningful that you love.
Thanks !
So, no to introspection? Wundt-ering around your own mind?
