How To Get Sick:
Bold stuff applies to me…
1. Don’t pay attention to your body. Eat plenty of junk food, drink too much, smoke too much, take drugs, have lots of unsafe sex with lots of different partners – and above all, feel guilty about it. If you are over-stressed and tired, ignore it and keep pushing yourself
2. Think of your life as meaningless and of little value
3. Do things you don’t like and avoid doing what you really want. Follow everyone else’s opinion and advice. See yourself as miserable and “stuck”.
4. Be resentful and hypocritical, especially toward yourself
5. Fill your mind with dreadful pictures, and then obsess over them. Worry most, if not all, of the time.
6. Avoid deep, lasting, intimate relationships.
7. Blame other people for all your problems
8. Do not express feelings and views openly and honestly. Others won’t appreciate it. If at all possible, do not even know what you own feelings are.
9. Shun anything that resembles a sense of humor; life is no laughing matter.
10. Avoid making any changes that would bring you greater satisfaction and joy.
