> I've been thinking how to get out of this primative lowlife thinking,
You beat yourself. "Primitive" and "lowlife" are not terms I would use to describe you. The sophistication of your thoughts are not primitive - quite the contrary. I had to live with my parents at an age that most people are married with children. I am not a lowlife. I am just ill.
> instead of thinking of how bad things are....find the solution and change them to positve things.
Can you be specific? Is there any one thing that you feel you can change?
> these goddanmed things in my body put a resistance to everything, make me hate everything about my system...there's so much defective sh*t that doesnt work right, like a bad car...you just want to kick it and throw it away.
This is not a very good start.
> but....obviosly the options that meds are going to work is not at this time, its all to the wonderful error of my body.
As you describe them, your biological illnesses are very real. MDD is very real. So are the manifestations of that illness. One such manifestation is the cascade of negative and destructive thoughts that one focuses on themselves; thoughts that do not reflect a balanced perspective. You might not be able to change your biology today, but you can begin to change the way you approach your very real challenges.
> You know I guess I can save this hatred up and use it usefully for something...with enough anger it will make you do things usally your afraid of doing.
Yup. Anger can be a great motivator.
> but still....i've been praying to God
Does that make you feel good?
>, and once and while I'll write Lucifer
Does that make you feel good?
