Fuck yeah to Stoicism. Glad that your also talking about therapy and meds, really bothers me when people tout Stoicism as a cure all for everything.

Stoicism cannot cure pathological problems. But can help to handle it a lot. Therapy is based on that. Meds, I took it in the past, they help surely, save your life when you only think about killing yourself and make you fuction like a normal person, but I will try to not to be dependant. But if things get rough I will happily use it.

Yeah, Stoicism has helped me a lot, I think the more people that are aware of it the better it's a much healthier way of looking at the world. Stoicism for day to day living. Therapy and/or meds for pathological problems.
