This might work for a lot of people, but if you're past a certain threshold, or, once you're alone with your thoughts, you only manage to self-flagellate, you're only going to end up in a worse place than before. People in these situations do not need to be told to meditate, they need to be taught how, probably with direct guidance at the beginning.
