Thanks. I do believe in different techniques and methods for self-improving and to feel better without having to rely on other people, for example health care. I see a group to do yoga once a week, it's arranged by the local health care center but itīs a way to feel a bit better.
Itīs though only possible to use different techniques and improvements to a certain extent as you canīt just isolate from society. By that I mean, I have to tackle all problems that come to me and I have to engage with people who create problems for me.

I try to be a scientist to examine thoughts and feelings as a (n ideal) doctor or scientist would, to try to find out what they mean. I sometimes let my thoughts just go and see where they lead. I think I have figured out a lot in the process, though it takes time and is not easy. Often quite frightening. I try to stick with it.
It has worked for me. Doesn't mean it will work for you. Maybe you could examine this area of inquiry.
