It's a heat wave in NY.
Just stole ghost's pic of Mt. St. Helens from way back. Great pic. I'm going to use it in a lesson if you have no objection.

I've been wondering if anyone has ever come across someone who feels they have been "cured" of AD. My T tried to tell me one of her clients did. But that was after something happened to their therapy and then the woman ended up in Otto Kornberg (?) clinic for A YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Somehow I don't think that you go to an institution for A YEAR and then come out and miraculously are "cured". Unless "cured" means no longer in need of an institution. I'd love to read about someone who thinks they recovered from AD.

Sometimes I think therapy is good and other times I think it is killing me. I just get so tired of making the same points over and over. Then I just stop talking about it and next thing you know I'm told I am doing much better. And I think really I've just stopped showing it on the outside. I think in the mental health world that is considered progress and I think it is total bbuullsshhiitt.

the only ones i've ever heard proclaiming they were cured of ad were the ones owing it to finding god..

i'm not gonna start bashing god some more (today..) i'm glad that worked for some.. it was never enough for me.

i'm with you on the bullshitness of it all in therapy..
when you bellyache then you're being a difficult patient.. when you shut up a bit they begin to love you.. but not really.
it's like the tide is forever erasing you..
eventually you get tired like me and are defeated.
all you can do is lose.
you take it home privately and wind up a grouch like me telling everyone to go to hell all the time.. an eccentric..

how's that for a picker-upper?
sorry... i'm moody.

Well, I guess it was a picker-upper of some sort because it made me laugh.

I'd love to get up the guts to ask if the "cured" client would speak to me. I won't hold my breath hoping for that one.

This thing is just so PRIMAL. I really wonder if you can change something like that. If you can, I bet it takes the rest of your life.

Got a new laptop - HP "special edition". All I know is it out classes me by a mile

Been riding my mountain bike and finally, I'm starting to get pretty good again. I'm thinking about maybe entering a race in October. MAYBE.

Take Care
