I read my tagline and tell myself to step forward, no matter how small the step.

Expecting the very worst to happen in any given situation can harm mental health. Explains a lot about the Despair Trolls and Doom-and-Gloomers on any given election thread on FR.

Yes, the doom and hysteria from the media are too much. Conspiracy theories, universal plots and schemes perceived where there are none. It’s healthier to look away from it most of the time.

Expecting the very worst to happen in any given situation can harm mental health. How do we stop these toxic-thinking spirals? Some of us call it being realistic and we allow it to motivate us to prepare for the worse in stead of living in some liberal utopia fantasyland.

Well they are notorious for calling anyone who disagreed with them crazy.
So I would be cautious about accepting their definition of mental stability.
But you will do as you like of course.
