It can be the same. Ever heard of, "Wherever you go, there you are"? It's a problem many if not most people on the site are having or have had.
Hello H3rmit: Thank you for commenting on my post! Yes, the problem is I've done it all before. And while it was enjoyable for the most part, & educational too in many respects, none of it made any real difference in the essential facts of my life. It couldn't. They are what they are.

Maybe I just didn't try hard enough or something. OTOH, I guess, to some extent, if I could take that stuff & use it to evolve a new me, then I guess I presumably couldn't be diagnosed as having a mental illness to begin with. At least that's my thought.

I think if a person has a mental illness... why would anyone expect that they would be able to take a class or chit-chat with a therapist for an hour once a week or once a month & they'd be cured? Were that to happen, I guess my thought would be that they probably weren't that bad off to begin with!

There's always somebody out there with some slick cure for what ails us. Just think positive, just exercise more, just change your diet, go shopping, etc. (YouTube is full of this stuff.) I once ran across a saying: "Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it." Blah, blah, blah... Maybe I'm just crazy. Oh... I think that's it!

Geez... never mind my diatribe. I do get excited. I hope you're doing well, H3rmit! Thanks again!
