> lol all capsHey, I am happy for you man....I feel this way at times when I go *up* over some obstacles, and use that positive energy in a very controlled, economic manner. Don't use it all up at once. :)
As bad as life can be, it can be damn good too!..lol. Rebuild your life, and TREAT yourself sometimes, without guilt. Best,Jay

well i tell you what i went out for the first time in a long time and was my self. It was great, my freinds and everything. They are interesting and i love em. All of them are different. I had a great day.
It was kind of unhealthy, but who cares lol. My friends eat alot of fast food. Plus, dont judge, we got bored and went to a hookah bar. I was nervous about the whole idea since I didnt know if it was going to make me real anxious or not. But neway, it was so freaking relaxing and just was awesome. I told my friends about everything, struggles and all and basically all the stuff ive been sort of sheilding away from them.
anyway thats the last time i think ill do the hookah thing. But anyway best day ever!!I dont think its really a secret or anything, i saw this coming with myself. I knew i was getting better but im really impatient. I figured out something psychologically about myself that just blew me away and from that point Ive been much better. I figured out I am a controlling person, hence my social anxiety and eating disorder, substance abuse past, compulsive lying.
Social anxiety to me is just a simple control issue (sorry if you disagree). social phobics need to control peoples opinions, and they cant so they get super overwhelmed. Thats why social phobics like animals alot, because they can control the opinion of the dog/cat. Because the animals cant talk so we dont feel anxious around them.
And substance abuse is another control issue, people have to use a substance to bring out a false self so they can control peoples opinions. They need a substance to make them talkative and "happy" so they can trick people and hide their true self because they are ashamed. But really they shouldnt be ashamed because they are great people, but they have a disorder.
I mean just finding this out is insane, its like another enlightenment. Im finally making the progress ive wanted to for a year or years now.And hey i reccomend this. I found it looking up control on google. Its a good one.
http://www.easycalm.com/?hop=cffshpgrlBut hey this is a really deep issue so I mean Idk if everyone is going to understand.
I know when I first had an eating disorder and social phobia, a psychiatrist gave me a book about OCD and i didnt understand. And my therapist said stuff about control too. I didnt even understand at the time. So obviously some people wont see it in themselves.Anyway good luck and love u all

No disrespect,glad ur in remission,but if im reading right and i hope i am your an advocate of no meds but power thinking?
Well let me ask u,what about the eegs done that literaly show the differances in the brains of depressed to non depressed people.
What about the testing done showing imblances of nutrients,vitamins,nuero chemicals ,brain grey matter and on and on that are found.
Clinical depression isnt virtual,its seen,just not understood.I cant understand why people find that so hard to believe.I mean its seen in the same way micheal j fox disease is seen,and he cant will power himself out.
If i can say one thing about myself its will power,and i know its not an issue with me feeling the way i do.
Good luck on ur success.

I dont really know what your saying. might be my ADD. No im not advocating anything at all. im just telling why ive been better lately. Im only 17, so I mean I'm not a know it all or anything. But i am wise, and I have been complety isolated for years with no friends and Ive wanted to kill myself so much. And now that Ive finally made sucess I figure its worth sharing.
I never said anything about depression (i dont think) with thinking. I said substance abuse, eating disorders, social anxiety are control issues.
My beleif system changes alot so Im not dead set on any idea ever.
I hope you arnt insulting me because that would piss me off alot.
Ive made genuine sucess and I wanted to share my info because I feel alot of people here are like me.

Well you left a link that rather then shares info sells a product.
> I never said anything about depression (i dont think) with thinking. I said substance abuse, eating disorders, social anxiety are control issues.You wouldent have to about depression,substance abuse has its own board thats why it was assumable.
> My beleif system changes alot so Im not dead set on any idea ever.
> I hope you arnt insulting me because that would piss me off alot.Well i am entitled to my opinion,if you feel insulted im not sure what to say.
> Ive made genuine sucess and I wanted to share my info because I feel alot of people here are like me.
Most of us share links with helpful info,not products to purchase.

It is interesting the way we piece together the world and try to make sense of it and of ourselves. What you said about taking drugs so you can control the response of others to yourself....that was interesting.
My guess and observation is that people generally become less controlling (and kinder to each other) as they get older, as they realise that they only have 5 minutes of life left, which for some may be quite enough.
