-The reason I believe in these things is that they work. By expressing my paranoia in Lipton’s, I am less paranoid the next day, or by L-2. (Incidentally, my depression has not come on yet, and I believe that too may begin to diminish as I realize these things). And when I am less paranoid, I am less anxious. I feel relaxed strength, the capacity to deal with more people than I ever have before.
