It makes me so mad when I hear therapists suggesting that someone has a choice in their misery. Sometimes they do but a lot of the time clients do the best the can in impossible situations.
What do you think?

i think that a lot of our circumstances are the result of our choices. recently my therapist told me something very interesting and obvious at the same time but it stuck with me. I have been very unstable recently with a lots of mood swings, ups and downs but i can pinpoint every single 'down' to an occurance in my life. i know why my mood changes occur and was trying to explain to her that i dont overreact that there is a reason why my mood changes to which she said: someone else in those circumstances might react in a much calmer way...
that is a bit off topic but yes we chose out misery a lot of the times. things happen to people and some pick themselves up, others struggle. its a choice we have everyday.
