Mental health recovery journey in a nutshell: don’t do what you want, do what your brain needs. Some day you will actually want that thing AND it will still help your brain! What? Didn’t you read the brain manual?

(Assistant leans in) “sir, we never figured out how to do those brain manuals”

…well good luck. Oh and you’ll want to find the right medication to give you a fighting chance. That should only take a couple years.
