Hi Chaotic, this is an excellent thread! I like the way that you think so clearly and outline out your thoughts. I got better by analyzing things exactly the way you are doing here. When I was trying to get better what I found is that very few people were helpful! Isn't that terrible? Terrible but true. I used to get so upset when I couldn't find my answers. I eventually made it and found my answers but very few people were very helpful in my journey. This is why I come to these forums to help spread some info because I know how hard it can be. So anyway, I would assume that people aren't helping you because they simply just don't know how.

I got better by mostly working on my own head with the help of some therapists. In my situation I had to do most of the work.

Maybe my reply is off the mark a bit because you were really talking about support and not help/info?
