And if you get a Post-Purchase Survey, be sure to mention you heard about Cozy Earth right here!For years, I couldn’t understand why happiness didn’t stick for me.I could feel good in the moment… but the second the moment ended, it was like the positive emotion started leaking out—fast. Like I was pouring water into a bucket with a hole in it.Eventually I realized something that changed how I live:Some people have a different emotional operating system.Not “better.” Not “worse.”Just different—more reactive to all emotional stimuli, and more prone to mood “decay” when there’s nothing actively lifting it.If you’ve ever felt like your brain drains happiness faster than it “should”… this one’s for you.

Head to Grow Therapy to find your dream therapist today!Sometimes suicidal thoughts aren’t about not enjoying life. Sometimes they come from something darker:“I don’t deserve to be here.”“Maybe dying would be the right thing.”In this video, I challenge that logic with one question that tends to collapse it:"Would the rule you’re using against yourself still make sense if you applied it to all of humanity?"Because most people live under two sets of standards:1. the ones they apply to everyone, and2. the brutal, private “me-only” rules they’d never apply to anyone elseI unpack:- the “holds up at scale” filter (and why it matters)- how self-judgment becomes a private “death-squad” standard- why “earning the right to live” is a dangerous framework- the question that exposes whether your rule is actually universal—or just self-hatred dressed up as moralityIf you’re struggling right now: please don’t do this alone. Reach out to someone you trust or a professional.
