i think it is possible but it may be hard to change our own world-view. i agree with the wise and wonderful TishaBuv about trying dbt. It can take time i think and even be difficult perhaps. It may be worth trying though. i believe it is admirable that you want to take on a more positive outlook. If you're struggling with mental illness that may be a bit difficult perhaps but Hopefully not impossible. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @hvert, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
