When people say 'stop thinking about it' or 'stop being depressed', they actually mean 'stop producing depressed discourse'- the 'inescapability' of these things is in their recursive self-production via 'thinking about them'
This is true.

But like other things that fit this language-first mold (i.e. "depression") just telling people to "stop thinking about it" only works for some people.
One the term gets memetic legs they are hard to chop off.
This proves the original assertion: language 1st.
