When you are able to clear the mind, this message will make sense, for many people can't stop the flow of ilegal thought, which is only the brain believing that is what you want since that thought is all you keep on the mind. When you are able to hold an open mind read this again.
A doctor in 1967 told my mother, "your son is retarded and there isn't any type of therapy for his condition." My mother has been in denial since I was born and refused to accept having a mentally chllenged son." Not that she was ashamed, she saw what happened to her grandmother, who the mind of a child, when she was placed in mental hospitals.
When I share my childhood story with psychologists, they really don't have an answer to how I did it. My psychologist said. "I don't know how you did it, but, you have been able to rewire your brain." What is it that makes it so hard to understand. *The five senses feeds the brain information, different parts of the brain sends the information to another part of the brain where the mind works. Now the mind takes this information to process and you get a feeling or thought.
Where you are getting in trouble has to do with thinking without having any information come in through your five senses. Imagine waking up tomorrow to say, this is a new day, I am a new me and have no connections with anybody or anything. Now its time to explore you five senses and find things to do which are creative. Just walk away from your pass and find new things to do with your new life.

Excellent thoughts Rusty.
Our brains are made up of Nero pathways. Every thought we have is like an electric pulse along "roads" that connect to another pulse (or thought). If we have been programed with certain attitudes for example negative self image, that is what our mind will return too. BUT we are capable of creating new pathways. Automatic thoughts are the ones we use the most, they pop into our head right away. THINKING NEW THOUGHTS is making new "roads" for our Nero impulses to use. The more impulses the more options we create for our thoughts. The more we use those new thoughts, they soon replace the old because they are the "road" we are using the most. We rewire our brains.
This is another reason why Therapy is so helpful. We explore and create new ways of thinking.

All true but your brain had to be functioning to achieve these so called 5 thoughts. CLINICAL DEPRESSION , takes over your brain, an you not capable of being able to see through thick fog an pain to do jack $#%^. Your mind may be the software but your brain is the computer an if it broke you have to fix it. Not with thoughts ,because your not capable of thinking ,if you were you would not be in the place clinical depression put you. First you have to nuke your brain with med,s to gain a bit of ground back . then its a long long way back to the front line.

Manic,

I think you are on to something there. I'm doing everything I can just to feelsomething, and by all means if it feels manic then I run lik ehell in fear. . . cause I know my cycles never end well, or do I mean cycle well? Who knows anymore. I've been here way too many times to count and so far the meds are making me more shut down and paranoid to be around others and my hearing is on absolute high frequency and I like to sit in quiet zone in house for some mellowing, but even then I hear things. They have decided to try me on Geodone along with the seroquel and celexa and xanax to try and balance something. I'm a complete mess. When he asked what my best quality was I told him "I'm a bitch". . .and he wrote it in the worst quality list and then asked ,"Ok so what's your best quality?" again, and I told him....being a persistant bitch I told you. . .it's gotten me this far and if i lose my fight in me, then who knows where I might be. Worst quality would have to be I'm terrible with people. . .I just suck at it so that's why I live reclusively lol (just made a new word). On a serious note though, driving on these meds is so not good. Felt like my throat was goign to puke up my heart that was being pushed up by my stomach on the way to the docs today. Sweating like a maniac and virtually almost ran out of there for fear of God only knows what. uh, huh, roller coaster from hell.
I know just as much as you do, only I don't have a way to prove it, so can we all just play dumb?
