unfortunately the only one who has the map to better is yourself

I HATE that and it is so difficult to accept but we must if we want to feel better but I don't know how to help myself

I was sitting in my therapist office today as she was speaking and talking to me about how I can help MY problem, I sort of tuned her out and thought, 'she has no idea how this feels, how in the world can she know how to cure it, she doesn't know, this is her job and she just suggests, really guesses what is right based on what she studied, she is not inside my head and body and I cannot describe it or make her feel it the way I do so why am I seeking help and comfort from her or anyone else as if they hold a magic wand to make me better.' I hated the realization but it is true. Only we can change and help ourselves.

If you find anyone that has recovered, and look at how they got better, it was their own decision and hard work

Look at all those self-help programs, panic away, linden method, these people found cures for themselves which made them better, they did it and that is what their programs are all about, you helping yourself, their fundamental rules are not to lean on others or outside sources for a cure because it is within you

so look within
