“I really just can’t in good faith recommend chronically high levels of anxiety. I recommend almost everything I live with. Art. Telling stories in your head to entertain yourself. Parenting. Having a little speaker in your kitchen that plays Taylor Swift whenever you want. I heartily recommend all these things. But I just can’t get behind anxiety disorders.”
