Ok so have you seen the Dropout show Dimension 20? The Mentopolis season has a character (played by Hank Green) called The Fix, whose job is to go around this 1930s-coded brain city and literally mob-enforcer style "take care of" distractions.
So I just chat with my The Fix in my head. It is starting to work a bit more all the time.
Much love for the brothers Green
That actually just reminded me of another unhinged coping skill: how John Green is (or at least was) actively hostile toward the coping skills he was effectively using. "My stupid mental health walk for my stupid mental health" is a phrase that still runs through my head sometimes.
