"Follow your instincts", they said. "It'll be fun", they said.

I'm being tongue-in-cheek here. If I take this advice to heart, interesting things happen. This is what my mind starts coming up with:

Technically speaking ...
You're not depressed. It's a symptom.
You're not anxious. It's a symptom.

Okay genius, so what is this a symptom OF?

You're living your life all wrong. Everything is just ... "wrong". It's making you miserable because you aren't getting what you need in order to be truly content, let alone happy, and you don't trust yourself or the world enough to admit it, let alone get it.

Are you familiar with sensations of deja-vu, of "just knowing"? Mine are off the charts right now. I feel like my whole life keeps repeating itself inside, like a slow motion flashback.

Mind blown. Mind BLOWN. NOW what do I do!?
