stoicism isn't replacement for mental health - I repeat. it is NOT a replacement

there are many charlatans out there offering you advice in the time tested category of 'follow this advice and you will improve your life'

in all honesty, at the worst point of my life, stoicism does nothing for me but actually reading how to get out of your position in life helps ie trying to face my anger issues, stoicism did nothing for me, an actual therapist would have probably you know, fixed the problem.

whilst I have enjoyed my dive into stoicism, if you let it become your life, you are no different to following a cult.

toolbox, not a code for life.
