They both tend to limit my (already limited) tolerance for it and make it much harder, although the depression makes it harder in general while the anxiety only makes it harder in higher-stakes situations, such as at work with a boss.
Your post is another interesting perspective I haven’t delved into as much as I’d like. It reminds me of the parts work some of my friends are fond of—taking something negative in one’s brain and asking, “but how is this useful? What is it doing for me? What is this piece of me trying to protect me from?” and then running with the result.
I’ll have to give it more thought.
If there are actual crimes going on, I’d imagine the police should be called.
If a student is genuinely acting in bad faith—attending a class and ruining it for their peers—then they should be removed from the class and sent to a counselor/social worker.
Otherwise, “disruptive” is a difficult thing to pin down when there’s no actual instruction to be interrupting.
