sorry it’s hard to tell tone over the internet so it’s hard to tell if someone is recommending something in a “this can help” way or a “you need to do this or else you’re not even trying” kind of way.
Of course. I meant recommending as in “if either you or the person I was replying to are interested in actually learning about meditation for people with mental illness then here’s some good sources.”
O wait, you meant in the initial message. I didn’t mean “you fool, you should be meditating if you don’t want to have those thoughts rather than using them as an excuse,” but “ya know, despite being a little counterintuitive it might actually help.”
No problem, just everyday neurodivergent overclarification for fear of being misunderstood. Big fan of good faith discussion for that and other reasons.
