Whats to say that this method could not work for some people..I actually believe this worked for me..I don't believe that it is true for all people though..if that makes sense..but my personal story I think applies here..and Jennie..I think you will agree, no? I went to doctors for YEARS..was diagnosed with many different things..from many different doctors..put on many different medications..and nothing helped..I got worse with time..to the point of self mutilation and a suicide attempt..and hospitalization up to three different times but in the end, it was I who chose to stop the circle of madness for myself..I chose to quit the therapy that I had been going to since the age of 13, I quit the group therapy..I stopped all the medications..and I stopped listening to all the damn doctors telling me what was wrong with me..I stopped believing that there WAS something wrong with me and the day that I quit going to all that stuff and taking all those meds and believing all that crap about myself was the day I started getting better! So I think that this can be true for some people! Or am I way off on what the book was talking about? I also hope that I am not making people mad..I do not believe that people bring on mental illness in any way whatsoever..but I do believe that their are TONS of people out their that have it shoved down their throats as well...that they believe they have something wrong with them when in reality they don't..and they could be better and perfectly normal if they just weren't being told lies..because I believe those lies are eventually believed and eventually learned..growing into behavoir...when, like me, all it was, was a masked-behavoir for what lied beneath-pain and fear..
if I controlled it I was okay..if I didn't control it..I had a mental disorder? Is that right?
