Yes, Confused and Faerie, I completely understand what each of you are saying. Obviously, this has been on my mind since my therapy session.
I wish my t had never mentioned this path because I have this need to please, even if it is myself, so I feel even more negative because I cannot find a way to think positive and heal myself-a simplistic summary, but you know what I mean.
The image created in my mind with this thinking are those of tv preachers who put out the message that if you buy in, you are healed-and, a bit of money might make it better! In the article that Faerie posted, a pdoc stated something along the lines that some of us need to have our negative thoughts. I feel much more comfortable with this line of thinking.

Faerie, I am sorry we have moved so far from your original post about cognition. I do appreciate, though, that you have allowed me to process my thoughts during the thread, and, btw, I still believe that cognition is affected by mental disorders as well as prescribed drugs
