> Do you ever wonder if everyone here, with all the posts, are overly self absorbed????
> Do we constantly think about ourselves and our syptoms??????
> 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?
> Sometimes I really wonder about us.....
> Do you ever think like this?alot of CBT focuses on acceptance of symptoms, especially anxiety..
the problem is the instinct is to try and find a way out of the way of you are feeling..but the earliest psychological techniques focus on identifying the way you are feeling, floating thru it, and letting time pass..its really really hard to have faith that will work, and it takes alot of time..but when you make a habit of it it decreases the amount of stress and fatigue you place on your brain, which in turn makes it function better and closer to normal, not depressive
