Living Fossils, Josh:
The first thing people typically recommend to those who are going through a hard time is—do more.
(o) “If you’re having trouble sleeping, try yoga. That did it for me.”
(o) “I get anxiety sometimes, too. Have you heard of Headspace?”
(o) “Oh yeah, knee problems can be a bear. You should really get that checked out soon.”
(o) “That does sound frustrating, but have you tried talking to him about it?”
Even when the explicit cause of a person’s misery is having too much on their plate, the common response is to add to it. “You sound overwhelmed. Have you considered medication?” Never mind that this involves finding a psychiatrist, setting up an appointment, paying the exorbitant cost, picking up the prescription, experimenting with different medications and doses (often over the course of months), remembering to actually take the medication, going back for check-ups, and beginning therapy to monitor or augment the treatment.
In a nutshell, the wellness bottleneck is that all this work falls on someone that is already overburdened.
