xXx_Gwee_xXx if your not depressed then you won't have to worry about it But the thought of her and those words get to me.Even if i don't want it to,it does and that makes me even more pessimistic then i already am.I can't allow myself happiness that's the point she was getting at and it's going to be the downfall of myself if i don't but i can't let myself listen to her.

The b***h needs to get paid.
We all do.
If you can talk about happiness like that, I'm not sure why you have a therapist.

Thief of Narshe xXx_Gwee_xXx if your not depressed then you won't have to worry about it But the thought of her and those words get to me.Even if i don't want it to,it does and that makes me even more pessimistic then i already am.I can't allow myself happiness that's the point she was getting at and it's going to be the downfall of myself if i don't but i can't let myself listen to her. i'm not sure what to tell you, but i was depressed a while ago, and it was so severe i started to cut myself, but i just snapped out of it. i think what happened was i was reading the last harry potter book (don't judge) and it got to the part where he was about to die, and he was just describing everything wonderful in the world, and how he didn't want to die, and i just all of a sudden appreciated everything around me. sometimes the depression come back, but i just think happy thoughts

When I went to a therapist when I was younger, I found the best way to get through it is to just go with it. Roll with what she says. If she says your depressed, say your depressed, even though it's not true. 'Cause really the only way to really get them off your back is pretend they're right to their face, then b***h about it to your friends later.
My therapist always said that I "Used humor to not see the full seriousness of a situation". I say that I used humor because I knew my life sucked, and it wasn't the way I wanted it to be, and I accepted that.
Or, if it's in your power to quit seeing her, blow your top, storm out, and never come back.
If it makes you feel any better, I agree with more of your definition of happiness than hers. Happiness is a very personal thing.

Thief of Narshe Umbrae Ac Silentium Thief of Narshe Oh wow.I'm very speechless right now.You hit it right on the nail and i'm surprised that I myself and so shocked at this.Though i think i have this push factor in my life because i am introverted and she had told me this,"From my point of view,you enjoy observing yourself in any situation and love to be in your mind more then being around other people and wanting to know what they think.I think of that as no obstacle for you as you can be very social in any giving and proper environmental situations.Though,you must think about other things then the negative perspective you give yourself while being introverted." Wow, she does seem to have a conflict of interests. If you see everything as a positive, why would she want to change that? It baffles me a bit, but I guess that's part of the whole optimism vs. realism vs. pessimism debate. Since I don't hold a strong viewpoint on any of the three, I couldn't really argue for one. Optimism gives the opportunity to be disappointed, and pessimism keeps your mind in the negative state. Realism seems to be an ideal ideology, right in the middle of the road. I'm guessing she wants you to be less of an optimist and more of a realist. I say do as you please. It's a bit more difficult to build up confidence if you've taught yourself to lose it. I'm not Optimistic,i'm Pessimistic.I have a very negative point of view on everything and see no point of being into Realism as it has too many rules and i can't be my own self-loathing.This is how i base my thoughts on the matter. Hm, I wouldn't have figured as such. Back to the original topic, I don't think she was necessarily disagreeing with you when she said that.

maui boy no ka oi Psychology in itself is a stupid science. A science which seeks to segregate shades of gray into black and white. According to my therapists, I have ADHD. According to everyone else I've spoken to, I'm just in touch with my inner child. I think people just need to realize that sciences in general are neither helpful nor desirable to humanity in its whole. All it does is further seek to influence the decisions and thoughts of the people it is taught to. Yes it is helpful to many issues we encounter in life, but to believe in it almost as a religion (in the sense that it is always right) is absolutely ludicrous even to the point of laughability especially those who are nontheist/atheist as the very "proofs" they choose to "disprove" religion are the very ones that "disprove" their own belief system (science). All psychology is just an easy way to control us for the government and an easy explanation to why people do things for the people. Quoting Dr. King: "Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think." First that's,shall i use your word, ludicrous. Being in touch with your inner child is far different from ADHD or ADD for that matter. ADHD is a struggle for a lot of people...i should know my friend has it. How many of these other people have a psychology degree,have studied about it,know even the slightest or have ever experienced any of what was mentioned in the first post? I'll say yes some therapists are just crooks. Others know what they are talking about. A good therapist should be empathetic and give sound advice. They don't just spew disorders and what not. They should help you to understand. A therapist isn't there to tell you there is something wrong with you. It's a proven fact the 1 out of 5 people are depressed or have some type of disorder. If it weren't for psychology people would still be seen as monsters,freaks of nature, by society. That's how it was long ago. No psychology is far more then you think it is. It can help people understand why they might do things. I agree if more people thought about things...if more people thought deeper about things maybe this world would be better off then it is...
