Well written, I've been going through many positive changes recently but they were the result of years of work and development. One of the best decisions I ever made was giving up pharmaceuticals as well as marijuana, both of which made my depression and anxiety worse. As you said, confronting the reality of why these negative thoughts pop up in my head and painfully tracing them back to their origin helped to properly frame them so I can act accordingly. They didn't necessarily go away, but now when they show up I have the power to tell those thoughts to fuck off and go about my business and continuing my growth.
