Alright, this is bound to offend tons of people on this board, but its something alot of you really need to hear, so here goes nothing!
Its seems these days that everyone (especially this board) has "social anxiety", "depression" or some other bullshyt. Gentlemen, this stuff is way over diagnosed!
I was diagnosed with manic depression when I was 10. I tried drugs (prozac and the likes) for the first 2-3 years and then decided that I didn't want a crutch, I wanted to either live with myself naturally or beat it myself.
I would say about 2-3 years ago I decided that I was really tired of being so unhappy and decided I was gonna try to be happy. It was tough to do at first but I kept at it because I wanted to be happy.
After coming here I learned of a book called Pycho Cybernetics - by Maxwell Maltz, I've probably mentioned this book a hundred times on this board and its for a reason. Through will power and this book I have beat depression without the use of drugs.
Furthermore, I don't think I had depression, I don't really think it exists in a medical sense. Most people these days are unhappy, due to thinking negatively all the time. The medical world sees this and a great opportunity for profit. See where I'm going with this?? Chemical imbalace my ass! My beef with prozac when I was 13 was that I felt that the depression was just how I worked, that it was part of my personality, and it was to an extent, but your personality and the way you think can be changed.
"Social Anxiety"...Ha! Now the world of medicine is taking advantage of the next biggest peice of the brain sickness pie. If it were popular back when I was diagnosed with depression, I would have most certainly been diagnosed with "Social Anxiety" also.
Past events, and genetics shape who you become. They now speculate that most traits you have are encoded into your genome and that characteristic of you is triggered to be released from your DNA when a certain thing happens at a certain time. Thats what shapes who you become.
While thats interesting and all, it doesn't coincide with the fact that people can change their personality traits later on. But whatever, thats a whole nother discussion altogether.
What I'm trying to get at here is that people are using these "diseases" as excuses to move on with their lives. And thats precicely whats holding them back!
I believe that the traits of these "brain diseases" are caused by not living your life to its fullest. We all have limitless potential, but most of us don't use it. I think that is a big part of what causes these traits to come about, this coupled with past experience.
But getting to the point, nobody is gonna beat these "diseases" if they keep using them as excuses for why they fail. Own the fvck up! Stop placing blame and start moving past bad times.
I look at everything I do these days, good or bad, as a chance to grow as a chance to grow as a person. Experience builds character. "Every failure is one step closer to success" repeat that to yourself whenever you start to place blame on your failures, and your faults.
I want others to become strong. Everyone asks for help with stuff that had they put alittle of thought into it, they could have figured out for themselves.
Stop asking for help and for pete's sake, learn to help yourself! Grow strong!
You have limitless potential, use it.
