How do you deal with days where you're just feeling really sad and anxious for apparently no good reason? I'm planning to medicate with hugs but I'd like better tools for debugging this.

Usually I find that I'm sad and anxious because I want to be sad and anxious. When I trace the thoughts, I then decide whether I want to continue being anxious and sad or not. This looks like staring at the ceiling for hours and then a shift.
Hmm. I can do this when it's an intentional state (i.e. about something) but I don't know how to connect an existential background anxiety up to thoughts.

Uh, I don't know how to do it without having gone through significant depressive periods, with that as a purpose. But after it's been done a few times, it's easier to see the pattern of tricks I play on myself.

Maybe trying to word vomit out every thought that comes up for an hour or something. And then you might get some clued from factoring those.
