I do understand what you are saying and in theory, it's a good plan. The problem is, mental disorders are illnesses that involve distorted thought processes. In other words, the illness screams at us louder than we are able to scream back of our own volition. In my own case, I was not able to positive my way out nor could i "just not think that way..."
In my experience, those that suffer emotionally are some of the strongest - in terms of mental toughness - folks I know BECAUSE - actions and functions that "normal" folks take for granted, take five fold strength to accomplish.
This is the med board and by definition, I don't think people are discussing all the strides they take and make daily - sometimes moment to moment
- to aid their wellness and increase their quailty of life.
