I disagree, I don't think it's that hard.

It is more a matter of facing and owning up to your demons. I have a PhD in psychology, and that is where boards like this can come in as being extremely helpful. Personally I don't particularly subscribe to the idea of an illness like this controlling you - I see it as a bit of a copout to be honest.

It might take a little bit of time but I do believe that everyone is in control of their own destiny and the outcome of their life in general.
