I have been dealing with some forms of emotional issues ever since I was a kid. Now as an adult I seem to have some extreme days that are embarrassing and cause problems in my life. I have been to therapy and still am on some meds but I just want to believe that there is no clear cut answers to diagnosing an emotional illness and getting rid of it. I feel I have tried and am not ready to get obsessed with all the types of emotional labels. I want to know if there is truth to feeding your mind into believing you have some emotional illness. Just thinking about checking my symptoms against a list on a chart makes me nervous. And I hate because I might have some of the symptoms but don't know what they mean by an excessive to be a true illness. And there isn't anyway to monitor it without someone watching me day after day who can define me as one. What would you suggest.
