yes but also, sometimes all you need is a gestalt. let's not pretend that it's never helpful to hear "cheer up", as long as it's not said callously.

although i shouldn't imply you're saying all that. i just think that meme always fails to mention that sometimes it actually is that simple. sometimes problems have simple solutions, and then we feel stupid because the answer was right under our nose. and of course that makes us feel unwell again. and then we have to gestalt that feeling and forgive ourselves.
