Why can't people understand |
that the power of positive thinking is just not enough to help sometimes.
I'm getting very tired of being preached to about this. So now, I'm
depressed *and* *****. bah...

Ah, the ever-popular 'pull yourself together' cure. Still doesn't work, I'm
afraid.

Anger's useful. It does me more good than trying to think happy
thoughts. Usually it's directed at Bill Gates, but that's just me.

I hear you. I get very tired of doctors telling me my problems are
stress related. While I believe stress and thinking plays a role in
things,,,it is never 100% and I get ***** when people say the same
to me.

Yeah, it's not like I don't think it's a factor. I know it helps but I'm
tired of people harping on positive thinking type stuff like it's the key to
the cure when I don't feel like it is.

yeah, positive thinking for works to a point, but in my opinion,
chemical imbalances of the brain make positive thinking almost
impossible. I'd like to choke the MFr's that say, why don't you just
cheer up....its probably like, the way i could never understand
pregnancy from a female stand point, some people just don't get it...I'm
a drug addict, alcoholic, and suffer from depression. the first two
problems are much easier to deal with, in that i can subtract those
substances which I'm addicted to attend meetings etc.....the depression,
at times, will not be subtracted. some days, I'm ecstatic about life,
cant get enough. The majority of time it just seems that I feel like a
depressed bonehead. I also think that there are other things than
depression, since I've been reading up on this reoccurring condition. I
realized that when i used my EAP stuff avail via work, i only used it
when i was depressed..yet, my mother and i discussed the fact that i am
at times overly hyper, sensitive, zip zoom bing manic.. i have always
passed these off as 'just kick-***** days' but shorty after crash...deep
into worthlessness, self loathing, a pure dislike for the presence of
any human being including myself. I also don't ever remember discussing
this aspect of my life with therapist/pdoc.. ma' says go back, to the
doc, try to explain these situations, not only focusing on just the
depression. she believes I'm manic-depressive. So , tonight I stay up
late learning the differences....and will make another appt.....sorry, i
puked this all over your thread...i just read your posts, and things
sound so familiar. maybe i just have to, not only accept the fact I'm a
drug addict/alcoholic but a depressive or manic/depressed person.
NOTHING WILL MAR YOUR HAPPY FUTURE<<<<fortune cookie, that belonged to
some one else...sticks in my mind....Your a way cool dude MI..I hope you
can manage what you're going through...NOTHING WILL MAR YOUR HAPPY
FUTURE!...ehhee

Positive thinking alone is seldom helpful. This beast needs to be attacked
from many angles, and even then, it's is very difficult to get it. And on
some days, there's just no energy left to fight it.
I suspect maybe you're having one of those days?

More like one of those months actually. At least I know I can come here and
find people who actually get what's going on. Thanks.
