@CHCB et al.
Hi,

After reading this thread, I hope my reply does not seem too trollish and if it does, I apologise, but I've been meaning to say this for some time.

Your perception of the world is shaped by your thoughts. If you believe this, you will start thinking more positively and adopt a more positive attitude to life.

This is not something I'm parroting from one of those self-help books. Believe me, this works. I figured this out independently and tried it myself with success. Of course, thinking this way is not enough to solve the problems but it helps put yourself in the right perspective of mind to tackle them head on. Of course, do continue to take the medicines and advice that your mental health care institutions prescribe. My advice is not a substitute, but a complement.

I apologise in advance if this offends you or anyone else who has replied, but I just really wanted to get this off my chest. In fact, I will even offer my services as a punch-bag if this post has enraged anyone.

But really, I hope that you make it through this storm and come out all fresh and ready to tackle the world head on, no matter what method you use.

Good luck!

PS. This is not bollocks. Really, it's not.
