[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it strikes me that if you work really hard to give him the "normal" version of you that he is clearly desperately seeking, you may find yourself half way back to where you want to be. I know this sounds simplistic but its based on the premise of "[b]fake it till you make it[/b]".

Years ago I found myself in a deep depression and honestly this method was the only thing that saved me (and my long term relationship at the time).[/quote]

This is sound advice.  You do nobody any good (especially yourself) by constantly focusing on your anxiety.  What you focus on, you will get.  If you focus on "I'm going to be happy dammit!" it will happen.[/quote]

Oh bullshit. It takes more than happy thoughts to fix some people.[/quote]

Nobody is saying that you just have to think happy thoughts and you are magically cured.

What the PP and I are trying to get across is that it is actually detrimental to focus on your anxiety/depression by talking about it (unless you are with a therapist).  You get what you focus on.

The PP is living proof of that.

But if you have had success at getting other people to make your anxiety/depression go away then please do share.[/quote]
