I take exception to being referred to as a psych patient, though I do find it mildly amusing. It's amazing to me that you can read and play music , present yourself articulately and seem to be rather inteligent but can't imagine how to balance a checkbook. I do believe that some of my issues are spilling onto you and I apologize for that. However, I am not the enemy. You do a good job of twarting your own growth without me, I'm just pointing it out instead of holding your hand with a "there, there". Someday you may actually see that I was really trying to help you take ownership of you by challenging your helpless attitude or maybe you wont.
I don't see you as the enemy. In many ways, what you are saying is completely right. I am not helping myself by refusing to accept help. It isn't a giant white elephant in the room because if you read my previous posts, you can clearly see that I know that and feel bad about that. I also feel like helping me is impossible. You aren't saying anything revolutionary. I think there is no one on this thread that would disagree with you when you say that those are real issues that I have to work through.

I have never written a check. I have never had a checkbook and I don't even know what they are supposed to do. I have had to read and articulate my thoughts before. I'm struggling to see how that is related.

Thwarting my growth. Again, I am doing what I can in the current situation. I am not looking for long term solutions here. I just want people to talk to because I feel like nothing in life is worth anything when I am alone.
