Ugh. Existence. Coffee. Feces.

Sadly, Lex is right. People *can* stay trapped in their own knots of conflicting thought and feeling. I say this as someone who was stuck in mine for a good chunk of my young adult life and someone whose best friend--a truly remarkable man, insightful, intelligent, funny--committed suicide because he was certain no one and nothing could help him with his depression and anxiety.

My best advice? You need to get out of your head. You think thinking is what it's all about. It' snot.

I should clarify that the OP should not necessarily be working with a psychologist. A psychiatrist would definitely be the better choice.
