Dealing with the world.

[Guest]

I've been reading a lot of posts lately about "those people", and "mean people", and "people that piss people off". I wanted to bring a different perspective to this. Some of "those people", and "mean people" are some of the people in here.
I am one of "those people". I've had days and moments so bad with my anxiety and depression that, I know I've been mean to people or have done things to piss people off. This is all part of the condition, at least for those of us who will admit that. That's why I am here. That's why I bought the program, so I can get help with these bad habits, and learn to deal with life better. I couldn't wait to get a computer so I could come in here and get support from like minded people, but all I'm finding is people complaining, and acting like they don't do anything wrong to anybody else. If you take the time to read a whole group of posts on the same subject it is no different from being in a unmoderated chat room with a bunch of young kids. If this is what they call supportive, then I guess I don't need any support from this community. I'm trying to get away from all this negative thinking, and blaming, and that's all people keep doing in these posts is blaming other people. This person pisses me off, that person pisses me off.... IM THAT PERSON! This is exactly what Lucinda talks about in the program. We have to stop blaming other people and situations for why we feel this way. Everytime I come in here to read a new post my anxiety kicks in because of all the negative talk and blaming. It just takes me right to that place where I don't want to be. I hope everyone that is in the program is successful and gets what they need out of the program, but I think first we all need to stop blaming and complaining about other people. P.S. I would like to apologize to all the people I have offended today and all the people I pissed off today with my post, because I'm sure I have, because I'm "that person", and I'm that "mean person", and "I'm the one that pisses people off"...
and SO ARE YOU!
