Inertia also has value in sustaining movement. Inertia can be used to keep creating innovative ways to make things better. Pragmatism can be useful to experiment to learn if the ideas have any utility.

Innovative ways to make things better. This seems key to recovery. That's where I've found value in writing. I had a 15 point list of how to recover. Got the list down to 4 points. Gone for a hybrid solution of Pragmatism & reductionism.

1) Job
2) Relationships
3) Therapeutic lifestyle changes
4) Therapy

I did that for weeks and felt terrible from lack of social interaction, aside from brief encounters with family and friends. The problem I have right now is trying to find a skilled therapist that will work with me. Linehan's advice don't tell them you meet criteria for BPD because of the stigma people will be less inclined to work with you because of suicide risk, etc. Considering taking psychiatric medications if the benefits outweigh the side effects.
