I do think that "ability to laugh at yourself" is one important tool. And ability to self-reflect.
so they article may not be "oh poor you chemically imbalanced thing, there is nothing you can do for yourself, but at least it is not your fault, pity pity pity, hugs and unicorns pooping rainbow puppies", but I don't think it's *abusive*, Not everything that point out a personal weakness of somebody is abusive. Sometimes it's... the truth.

The problem is that it can easily pass as truth. Especially if you're not a logical thinker. And think you can have opinions on logic. Logic is logic. Period.
I used anemia as an example. If you still cannot understand what false logic is, then I cannot help that.
And you assuming the rest is just ridiculous and does not follow. I feel the therapist might be tired and bitter about people they didn't manage to help maybe?
I'm seriously not into the chemical imbalance myth. And I'm not into self pity either. So I'd rather you not make those accusations like they simply follow. IT DOES NOT FOLLOW.
I don't believe are simply choosing misery because you somehow want to think anxiety provoking things. I don't think the cure for anxiety is simply to stop having it. I don't believe it's self sabotaging to feel anxious. My friends husband just got diagnosed with cancer. I'll tell him it helps if he will just stop that stuff.
Seriously, this is not a victim mentality. I'd rather figure out WAYS of controlling anxiety than add guilt because I simply cannot stop this "normal habit". It's not victim mentality to need steps along the way.
You can keep your "honesty". I'll stick with the truth.
