I want to fucking live, even if it comes with negative consequences.
And I think Dr. Schur described this incredibly well.
The depressive desperately wishes to break the sense of hyper-structuring, the preordination toward inevitable catastrophe that gives the sense or actual loss of self.
His problem is how to stop this inexorable, ineluctant flow.
He feels encased in amber and he must break out.
In his lateralizing, he attempts by uncloturing, namely by breaking the rhythmic flow coherently in some magical way, unfix, defreeze his linear progression.
So I know that that's quite verbose.
So what do you need to do?
You're encased in amber, right?
So the main thing is you have to break out of this.
You need to shatter this pattern.
You need to do something drastic because right now you're not really moving anywhere.
You're just lateralizing.
Forward momentum ends up in somewhere that you can't really control, right?
So you just need to shake it up, right?
And this is what I see so much when I work with people.
They have this very, very intense sense of like, I just want to leave it all and go to an ashram and find myself.
I want to go to some boot camp.
I want to read.
I just can't tolerate this staticness of life.
