I think she's basing this on my having been in therapy for over a decade with little improvement and the fact that she was able to recover from her own depression/ptsd by just deciding to change her thinking, getting out of mental health and eventually off medication and getting back into life by having a positive/nothing can stop me attitude.

I can't seem to change my thinking and focus only on positive stuff--I wish I could do that and be like her and be in full recovery, but I haven't gotten there yet even after so many years--and I feel alot of guilt for making so little progress and wonder if this is all just my fault, an attitude problem, or shear stubborness. Should I continue therapy if the reason I'm stuck is purely my own fault? Arrgh!
