    1. It is OK not to be happy all the time.

    2. It is also OK not to be the best, or even to be the worst!

    3. It is OK to acknowledge your behavior or thoughts are bad and to really experience your negative behaviors and thoughts - you can regret or feel sadness about them without looking away to escapism.

    Finally, even if you are the worst among your peers, at least you aren’t as bad or sad as characters of old fashioned tragedies and cautionary tales which are meant to give kids intuitive understanding of the three principles above.

    This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room… Etc etc.

    If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

    Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you’d be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.

    Don’t glue it shut, paint it shut with an acrylic paint or nail polish. Try to stick to the surface with the paint - you could even paint it to cover it/obscure it’s location as well.

    This way, if you ever need to remove it you can delicately dab acetone over it to dissolve the acrylic and it will open once again!

    Patients don’t have much hope arguing with insurance companies but doctors do - they just have to be more aggressive than the average doctor.

    First, they have to get through to a doctor on the insurer’s side - eventually, once you go up the claim management tree, these insurance companies leave the ultimate decision up to a doctor that they pay a shitload of money to have profitable medical opinions on their behalf.

    Here is the thing: It is malpractice to diagnose and recommend treatment for a patient you have not evaluated, so the only valid medical opinion on the record is your physician’s medical opinion.

    You just need a doctor on your side who will raise the stakes high enough to threaten their doctor’s medical license.

    At that point, the insurance doctor will cave and approve the claim.

    You still need a diagnosis and a treatment plan that is backed by medical science, of course.
