a problem with being an epiphany junkie is that it trains you to think that progress comes in the form of dramatic, self-justifying insights

I found this particularly in regards to dealing with my depression. No big personal revelations can make it better, just learning to implement coping techniques, remembering to take my medication and exercise, etc.
