You get stressed, you do some meditation. I hadnamp。39。t really thought that it could be sort of preventative in nature, until I was about 20, when a number of things happened in my life in quite quick succession, really serious things which just flipped my life upside down and all of a sudden I was inundated with thoughts, inundated with difficult emotions that I didnamp。39。t know how to cope with.
