I suppose so...
But what about the fact that it snowballs and cascades? I can try to stoically accept anxiety or overstimulation. But it's a moving target. Accepting it doesn't stop the chain of events.
I say I'm a hypochondriac and it's true. But once I understand a certain type of pain, and its inevitability, I can bear it ok. It's kind of like accepting the course of a cold. My throat's going to hurt, then in a day my nose will run, then a few days of stuffiness then a cough, then it's over.
But this is more like accepting a sore throat when letting it stick around is going to lead to a full body strep infection. Sometimes it's not good to endure pain. Sometimes you need to slap some antibiotic on it.
