But this isn't how mental illness works. It is slow work and recovery. There isn't any now you have it and next week you don't. If you look at it this way you are going to get disappointed and depressed.

Exactly, you got your mental illness from your genetics and the environment that your family provided for you (environment triggered your genetic disposition) so yes, they are the ones who are "driving you crazy".

Do you have a therapist?
