> Do you ever wonder if everyone here, with all the posts, are overly self absorbed????
---I've been thinking about myself all night.
> Do we constantly think about ourselves and our syptoms??????----It is more important for me to remember that my thinking could be a symptom. Sometimes I forget, and just assume I should procede based upon my best latest thought.
> I know I do.......ESPECIALLY WHEN IN A DEPRESSED STATE.
> Does this contribute to our illness......or is it part of our illness???
> Every little symptom, every little change in our mood is maximised...... when "normal" people just simply accept the ups and downs of every day life?"Normal" people, at least in my country, kill each other and themselves at a completely unneeded rate. They intoxicate themselves to the point of overdose, spousal and child abuse, and murder. Road rage, assualt, child molestation, theft. These are what "normal" people do every single day.
"Normal" people stuff themselves to the point of immobility and even death with 99 cent double cheese burgers and America's Funniest Home Videos.
I think that the average "normal" person, has big problems.
> Sometimes I really wonder about us.....
--- I don't wonder about us. I'm aware that I have failings. Some of them involve poor thinking, overactivation of my fight or flight reflex, genetic predisposition, and negativity. That is why I hang around on a web site about mental illness and psychiatric drugs.
> Do you ever think like this?I thought I should just be normal a while back, and I failed.
