ok me too...jumping in. hope i don't go off topic.
what works for some may not work for others. though, when i was so ill from my BP i had to make a choice. did i want to get better or wallow in it? even tho at that time i was almost emotionally paralyzed. but i chose to get help, i needed it!, and begin the journey of gaining/living a fuller life. i had to force myself but i wasn't willing to give up unless i found the effort futile. i didn't know if i could truly get better but i gave it a shot. i hoped i was right in having "hope". it wasn't easy even having a mustard seed of hope. but no pain, no gain.
i do believe that there are ppl that just choose not to help themselves. i can't judge them cause i know not their ability to do what i did. these are the unfortunates ones, imho.
there are ppl here that have sought help that are unable to benefit from the treatments that work for many of us. there may be some here at pc that can't afford getting help also. i see posts here that reference that. i am so grateful that even when i had no insurance miracles enabled me to proceed. i don't take my success for granted. i am responsible for my own recovery. for me, i chose not to let my illness define me. some do. i guess that is their choice.
