1) not a thing wrong with complaining. people would do better to do more of it. this goes hand in hand with the very cruelest cut of all: that pull-self-up-by-bootstraps 'philosphy' which emerges from alcoholic or other dysfunctional families of origin. decades ago, claudia black coined: don' TALK, don't TRUST, don't FEEL. fyi: DON'T can be shouted or beaten in, or it can be subtly & confusingly instilled in any child, as it was in my case.
2) i admit to being an over-analyzer, even though i ALWAYS score in the 98-99 percentile of all right-brain tests. analyzing is decidedly left-brained. i use an intuitive method, combined with both much book knowledge, and (my naivete replaced, i now believe for my best) with learned-the-hard-way street smarts. i don't stop with looking only at myself, either. so much for the self-absorbtion with which you are battering us.
i help those who are capable of internalizing it, and then capable of doing their own work.
i'm not a big fan of 'facts' & science, because, exclusive of my not having a bent for science, one can clearly see from this board, that science doesn't come close to solving all.
3) there is NO such thing as being over-sensitive. PERIOD. that myth comes from the same 'place' as the above.
re: a following post of yours -
i'm sure you'd be amazed at how many here on the meds board, DO also go to therapy, often once a week, if they can afford. that's still recommended for the best possible results, for those with major depressive disorder, more than any other dx. that can be simple talk therapy, or cbt for the anxiety and ocd that so very often come with this dx.
it was indeed thought, until fairly recently, that folks with bipolar disorder didn't need therapy; that it could, instead, be harmful to them. that trend seems to be changing.
why all this pot-stirring from you? i can see no other real reason for you repetitive, and unable to entertain anything close to some semblance of a belief that people can and do have FAR different outcomes than you and your's, posts. please, dispense with this yanking of peoples' chains.
