> Do you ever wonder if everyone here, with all the posts, are overly self absorbed????
> Do we constantly think about ourselves and our syptoms??????
> I know I do.......ESPECIALLY WHEN IN A DEPRESSED STATE.
> Does this contribute to our illness......or is it part of our illness???
> Every little symptom, every little change in our mood is maximised...... when "normal" people just simply accept the ups and downs of every day life?
> Sometimes I really wonder about us.....
> Do you ever think like this?I think you are right. I know i have a tendency (especialy when i'm not doing well)to be self absorbed, and this just makes me worse. You make some excellent points in your thread, that i can absolutely relate to. Yes, we (everyone) needs to learn to accept some of the negative things in their lives, this is the key to "happiness" to be content in all situations. "Normal" people i think are better at doing this. But, i do believe it is part of our illness too. When i am deeply depressed, i can't help but to be extremely self absorbed, unfortunately..no matter how hard i try, i can't seem to get myself out of this mode. Excellent thread. :)
