I know there are many things about me that are due to mental illness and/or maladaptive behavior. My "attainment seeking" (in my words) behavior is also one of them. It's how my parents think and how I was taught to think. I do not think like my parents for the most part but after all I am only a human and as I still live with my broken parents I have to at least for some part "think like them."

Back to the maladaptive behavior, it's one of the things I know but I've planned to change it after I become independent.

I was raised with that type of thinking too LC. I understand you. My mother pushed and pushed even though I already got the great grades and wanted to learn. I think her awful pushing and pressure is one of the main reasons I ended up terribly depressed from ~ 14 to 18. I cannot understand why some parents don't just want their children to be happy and well. Anyway, at this point in my life I am actively working on un-learning a lot of the unhealthy ideas they pushed on me even when I was 5 years old. I didn't have any balance back then....study, study, study and no hobbies. Later when I had moved out and completed college, it turned into work, work, work. I didn't even realize I was doing it until I started to get sick.

I was trying to be helpful but if it didn't come across that way, I take it back You have my support and I want you to be happy. How you decide to be happy is entirely up to you

Silver, I rarely take offenses. I have a very passive personality (probably bargaining with Dormmamu did this ) so you need not to worry about how I perceive your replies. And nevermind that, cause I never perceive your posts as "attacking", although my lack of emotions may create the tone of my posts which may give the wrong impression.

My lack of emotions is a very serious issue. My psychiatrist says it's apathy. But I think it's something much more serious, like frontal lobe dysfunction (as I read in a neuropsychiatric journal, patients with epilepsy and psychosis have frontal lobe degeneration.) So I am never going to be a socially apt person, but I am still trying to make most out of life. I was given antielliptic medication by my pdoc so I think it's epilepsy.


And a big thank you for caring about me.

I find a great deal of beauty in music, and certain musicians have resonated with me since I was very young. EJ is one those musicians. I think this artwork for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour is beautiful.
