A component of the solution might be to take appropriate medication. I tried getting over the shit stew with drugs and no intentional internal change, first with prescribed drugs, then with, uh, other sources. It's so easy to believe that it's completely beyond your control, that it's a neurochemical problem that you cannot solve until the state of the system changes.

I wonder if there's a chance that your personal illness isn't generally applicable to everyone's?

peteretep, of course it isn't generally applicable to everyone's. It is an illustrative point: you have a lot more control over your head than you'd like to admit.
