"It's not about The Nail"

Postby noreally_imfine » Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:30 am

Hey so i already posted this on the BPD forum but i also thing this is a good video for people suffering with anxiety to watch.

I just want your thoughts and opinions on this video and how you think it relates to people like us.

This video seems to be an analogy for people ignoring a very obvious problem. It may be that the nail is a disorder, and the girl is denying she has a disorder.

I can't speak for anyone else, but in my own life it has been kind of the opposite. I've pretty much always been able to feel and see the "nails in my head" but the people around me would tell me there were no nails. Either they'd say "there's nothing wrong with you, just try harder, disorders are liberal lies and do not exist." Or they would attribute my nails to spiritual forces, my heresy and unbelief, etc. It was I and I alone who decided to seek counseling. I knew there were things, figuratively, sticking out of me. I knew I had to get professional help for them.
