I'm currently of the mind that the only way to cure it is to stop running and face it head on. Rip out everything that triggers it, rip out every source that adds to it. I agree. But I think that's a lot easier to do when you're happy and in a good mental state than when you're not. I didn't mean to imply that busyness is a mere distraction strategy - it's more a way to bootstrap a life-long process.
