Unfuck Your Brain: Using Science to Get Over Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Freak-outs, and Triggers

by Faith G. Harper

In order to think more, we have to feel more. And then take both into account when making decisions. Emotions are just as important for our survival as thoughts.

A trauma can be an accident, an injury, a serious illness, a loss… or any kind of life event that kicks your ass.

When we talk about things, they get better.

Scars are badges. They are a reminder that we healed.

It means knowing that no matter what else happens…you have YOU in your corner.

Medication as tool. Medication as something potentially life-saving. NOT medication as singular cure-all. And it should never be a mechanism for controlling people instead of symptoms,

You are a fuck-up. So am I. Yaaay for being human. Have some self-compassion for that fact.

Do your best to do your best.

Anxiety is an over-response to stress hormones.

I define it as a clinical case of the fuck-its.

Depression is the thief of all the wonderful things that make human-ing worth it.
