> im sure that what you describe IS a part of the unattainable world of normalcy. what you express is the ability to tell your mind what to do instead of suffering the consequences of things being the other way around. seroquel is helpinmg in this respect. if i might offer another viewpoint-how about thought CHOICE rhather than control??
> pclPaul-
Thank you. Choice is a more apt description.
Choice is what I desire. Choice is what I experienced
briefly with the Celexa. Without control, however,
there is no choice (very subjective and maybe
negative thinking, but that's the way I see it).I'm aware of the various non med techniques such as
trying to substitute the undesirable thoughts with
positive ones, repeating mantras, meditation, etc, etc.
But those excercises have not worked.I think in my previous post that what I was trying
to describe, in conjunction with control and choice,
was the concept of organizational thinking.I feel better now since you agree that 'normal' humans
do have the capacity to perform this wonderous feat :).I am glad to hear that seroquel is helping you and
hope that the good results continue.Seroquel is also on the list for my pdoc next week.
Take care,
hb
