Title: Psychological Advice ?
Post by: jamesww on May 06, 2011, 04:37:13 PM
Inspired by Mono's 'give me some medical advice for free' thread, I thought I'd go with this, knowing what you do of me and 'my way of being' / how fucked up am I or not , what psychological advice would you give me ?

:cool:

In my professional opinion, I would say that asking for this kind of advice on Languish is akin to throwing yourself in front of a moving train.

To be slightly serious for a moment, today I happened to speak to someone for the first time in years, I was describing something and she had a sorta eureka moment and said words to the effect "oh that explains so many things". Up until that point I hadn't really put two and two together.

I guess one of the implications of what she said was, some of the fucks-up in my life haven't been my fault or for that matter anyone elses. :gasp:

We British and our emotions.  :bowler:

Once you accept that you are responsible for everything in your life, the good AND the bad, you can move on.

"Why does this happen to me?" Well, because you let it happen to you, you whiney cunt.

You may be responsible, but you have precious little control over what happens to you.   Illusion of control is very, very common.  In fact, it may be vital to good mental health.

Nonsense. You have all the control possible under the given laws of nature. If you need to tell yourself otherwise in order to make yourself feel better, go right ahead.  :hmm:

I think I'll file that one under such gems as "life is short".

Knowing you don't control your life doesn't really make you feel better.

I dunno. It's a pretty good excuse.
