The truth about yourself

Sometimes, I think I understand why some people are always searching for a diagnosis. Moody people are bi-polar, sad people are depressed. Scatter-brained? You have ADD. Have problems in social situations? Ah, social anxiety must be the answer. And it all boils down to the fact that if there isn't something clinically wrong with you, you have to face the TRUTH about yourself. You are lazy. You are immature. You are selfish. You are stupid. You are fat. All of those things that no one wants to face about themselves. And it puts the problem in your control. You can't blame it on the disease and you can't solve the problem easily with drugs. It takes hard work that is not for a weak person. If it was easy to change don't you think we would all be the people we want to be?
