Wow. It's called 'Growing up' or 'Accepting responsibility.'

Radical new approach indeed.

People in this state are not "normal" people who are just childishly refusing to grow up. They are genuinely disturbed.

Also, while it is true that medications are too often and too quickly prescribed, it is also true that there are some folks (like me) who need them.

I live a productive life, have a full-time job and go to work every day and am active in my church, but the cold unpleasant fact is that I am just not quite right in my head and never have been.

This does not excuse me from responsibility for for my behavior (especially since working, etc., shows I can handle that aspect of things), but it does partly explain why I have to cry like a baby once to twice a week to relieve the tension of depression.

Read "Healing the Unaffirmed" by Conrad Baars and Anna Terruwe and you will get to know me pretty well.

Dialectical behavior therapy = Learning?

If I come upon a question I'm unable to answer or a problem seems to have no solution, I learn to find the answers and solutions. I have to dig and scratch sometimes sifting through FR archives and endless postings, but SOMEONE ALWAYS has the answer here, LOL!
