"As I have said in another post - you take yourself down a path of negativity by going on about an illness and can "cause things to happen".

this is awful! surely that makes people feel they have caused their illnesses then! is that what you are implying!!!

wow i feel so judged and blamed and patronised.

"Also perhaps a little more positivity instead of getting too hung up on your illness."

right, how do you just become positive then, think myself into positivity? i have never heard anyone tell me to not be 'too hung up on my illness' before.

i feel so misunderstood here and excluded - so nobody wants to work with me until i no longer have a mental illness diagnosis - that sucks. i don't want to continue this feeling of exlucsion - none of it is good for me.

i am leaving the garden i get a sense that i am a pain and am sick of advice. those that know me, know my e mail addy.

i wish you all luck. thanks for trying to help anyway. i know you are kind people.

When I said "you" I didn't mean you personally sweetsong, I mean you as in plural. Perhaps I should had said "one takes oneself down a path of negativity by going on about an illness and can "cause things to happen". You have misinterpreted my words and taken it as a personal insult which I am sure if you read again you will realise that is not what they are meant to be.

Of course I do not mean to patronise you - I have been there myself, with physical not mental illness but there really isn't a lot of difference, attitude affects things be they mental or physical.

Sorry if I have upset you sweetsong, it wasn't intended.
