I know all about CBT and how interpretations of events and of how people treat you and what they say to you cause anxiety and depression. THe events themselves cannot. But I feel I am too far behind in life....12 years too late. Plus I can't get over anxiety over racism...many time when I walked down the street when I was in college, some jerk would mutter to me "chink" or something similar, and I still remember those events and it still enrages me. ALso, I have a convenient excue for not doing anything...my obesity. During 90 degree weather, I still wear jackets to hide my gut and fat!! I have such a poor self body image, I am unwilling to go back to summer school because of how uncomfortable I would feel. It's all in my head, I know, but I also know there are some realities that I cannot avoid, and to me those aren't in my head.
