Hey it's ok... Well it's not!

New government campaign 'Hey it's ok. Make it negotiable'

Deals with anxiety, depression and other problems. Put on a shirt and you're your problem. "Look people I have depression! Shirt on and show it off.

Horrible.

Hey it's ok, discuss it

Nice victim creation that way. And then wear a shirt like that. Ritualy burn the shirts. Get rid of them.

Don't think of yourself as a victim anyway. You're doing it yourself. Not consciously, don't get me wrong, but you are doing it.

Do you think wallowing in it all helps? Put on a shirt?

No.

There are so many good ways to solve it and a shirt is not one of them. That money from that campaign would have been better spent on better therapy. Indeed there already is.

Get into hypnosis and solve it. You're not going to identify with a problem, are you? Just do. What are we doing in the Netherlands.

Look, you are an amazing miracle. Your body has trillions of cells working ingeniously together. Your body can heal itself of the most serious ailments if you give it a chance and put good things in and do good things with it.

And then you let a ridiculous campaign put you away like this? And you're okay with that?

Well then I'll even get on the pills....

We are just completely lost man in this victim society. Men are no longer allowed to be men, women are no longer allowed to be women and we are practically all on pills (11 million people in the Netherlands!).

Sure you have to make it discussable, but don't take a victim position in that. That mindset is killing. 1.2 million people take antidepressants today. While most people don't even need those pills. And this campaign only makes it worse.

Perfect strategy for pharma. If you have a shirt like this and you read this? Burn it, take charge and realize that you are much more than your problem!
