Just being able to acknowledge that “burden of consciousness” has been useful for me. I used to start to feel it, but would never pay attention because most of me was like, “What?! Of course you can bear the burden of consciousness! We’re fucked if you can’t, right? So let’s just of ore the fact that you sometimes feel this way.”
Though I’d still like to increase my “capacity for consciousness”, not causing myself to suffer extra because of it was a good step.
