I've been doing some deep thinking today. I decided to start a thread to post some of these thoughts, and get your feedback to see if they make sense to any of you.

I was on a thread today about things people say that makes us mad. A common theme was the "easy" ways to just pull ourselves out of bipolar, depression ex.
So that got me thinking, yeah, maybe I WOULD feel better if I would "just get up and do something".
Maybe some of these simplistic ideas these people offer us would help. But maybe the real problem is finding a way to MAKE OURSELVES do these things. I remembered when my children were babies, how they would get a fever. And all they had to do was take the damn Tylenol I was trying to give them and it would make them feel better. But no. They Hated the thought of taking medicine! Even if I could manage to get it in their mouths they'd spit it out! It was such a simple thing to just swallow it down, but it was an impossible task to get them to do it! So now I'm thinking, I am going to be SO PISSED if I find out that after 30+ years of therapy, & doctors, & countless useless drugs that ALL I HAD TO DO was make myself do some STUPID LITTLE THINGS that I DIDN'T WANT TO DO that would've given me just a little bit of happiness in my life! Anyway, I'm going to do an experiment with this & I'll get back to you all with my results.
