I just want to add a cautionary note, which is that sometimes introspection isn't the solution, but the problem itself. Especially in the case of a combination of depression and anxiety, it may be that introspection drops you further down the rabbit hole, when the way out is to do not think.
- jayjay71 10y agoObviously this is a complex issue, but in general I've found introspective people are the saddest. People that live in the moment are often the happiest. http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3501 http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3501
- crispweed 10y agoFair point. But on the other hand, not exploring the root cause of a problem can be like papering over the cracks..
- mercer 10y agoAlso a fair point. But exploring the root cause can be dangerous when the tool you use to do this is the source of the problem. This is part of the reason why outside help (professional or otherwise) can be crucial to finding a solution. If your own brain is the source of problems, it makes sense to find something outside yourself to seek a solution.
