Jared Yates Sexton is a writer and assistant professor of creative writing. He is also, as it happens, in the midst of a full-blown emotional meltdown:

If you're like me, the last three years of the Trump Era have been enraging and, at times, debilitating. This crisis is massive and its consequences far-reaching. We have to fight it, but we're not going to make it if we don't take care of ourselves. 1/

The power of mass hysteria and self-imposed anxiety through obsessive confirmation bias and feedback loop validation. https://t.co/avoHM5aENh

Sexton concludes his thread with a tweet about the importance of stepping away and taking a break:

If you're suffering, you're not weak. You need a break. It's not giving up, it's not waving a white flag, it's taking care of yourself and preparing for future battles. Listen to your body and listen to your head. Take comfort where you can find it, rest when you can. 11/11

Evidently it’s too late for Sexton to take his own advice.

Holy hell, dude. You’re not living in a POW camp. Pull yourself together. https://t.co/edc0QyNixD

What if I told you that 95% of your stress is a result of hysterical overreactions to things that aren't nearly as bad as you believe them to be….
