Experience life with dysthymia through therapy transcripts that show how someone can want to disappear and still want a plate of tteokbokki.
Acknowledging dysthymia validates the exhausting reality of functioning through depression, showing that suffering can be real even when it is not outwardly dramatic.
Constructing an idealized version of yourself creates chronic inadequacy and shame when your actual self cannot match those standards.
Dismantling absolute, black-and-white thinking opens room to see yourself and other people as imperfect without turning every conflict into total rejection.
