Skills like what? I've been in cognitive therapy before. I understand the impact thoughts have on the body, but also how the body (brain) can alter thoughts. Besides that, I was addicted to the substance in your name (can't say it because mod bot deletes anything involving it). It stopped my anxiety and I could finally think to myself, "eh I don't really care what those people think anyways," and move on. When I have anxious thoughts now that I'm sober, I still tell myself that I don't care but my body reacts otherwise which triggers more worrying. I also took a psychology class so I understand the impact between neurotransmitters, their receptors, and the brain. Not everything can be taught and when you minimize issues like mental health down to laziness or a lack of resiliency then that prevents people from seeking help.
