Original Advice
“DONT: Don't self-medicate to outrun your feelings.”
Face It Sober, Fire Sign
You don’t outrun pain by pouring, puffing, or scrolling. You press pause and call it progress. The bottle doesn’t fight for you. The pill doesn’t clean your room. Numb is not relief; it’s a mute button that fails. You wake with the same ache and a bill. Stop outsourcing courage. Sit bare-faced with it. Sweat, cry, breathe. Let the truth land.
Self-medication trades sensation for static. It breaks the alarm and leaves the fire. What hurts is trying to teach you something simple: change one thing, or be changed by it. When you mute the signal, you repeat the scene. Every shortcut becomes a leash. Every escape taxes tomorrow. Choose discomfort with a clock, not despair without one. Build stamina. Build proof you can survive feeling.
Cosmic Context
