After taking some time I decided I didn't want to leave things as I did. I will assume that you really are just trying to help and that being the case, I should not have gotten so angry. For that I apologize. But please understand that many of us here are in a great deal of pain and we, or in this case I, can be rather sensitive.

To try to mend fences here, let me better explain why I reacted the way I did. It wasn't your assertion that changing how we think can help reduce symptoms (obviously this is true or therapy would be pointless) it was more your broad assertion that this would solve all problems and that our failure to do it was why we were suffering. This is an illness and while smoking may cause lung cancer, you wouldn't exactly run into a cancer ward and start pointing fingers. Well without meaning to you were kind of doing that here.

How you conduct yourself here is up to you but between you and I I'd like to propose a deal so we can better get along. Don't address my disorder as a whole as I have a team of psychiatric professionals helping me with that. Instead share insights into how your approach can help in individual scenarios. I will happily listen to those smaller pieces of advice. Deal?
