" Well, then I guess you are doing something right... which means your first post about you not being able to do anything right was wrong.

Seriously, you need to work on changing your thinking and behaviors. That day program could probably have helped you with that.

Posting over and over again your same complaints, but not really taking any of the advice offered---well I just don't see how that helps you.

You can argue and give the"but I"s; but face it you do keep bringing up the same kinds of issues looking for anything but the advice that tells you that you need to make some changes in your life and how you live it.

Any posts folks send back to you on a thread of woe like this one only is reinforcing your victim behavior--- because it gives you attention albeit some of it negative attention.

You need to change your thoughts to change your world. This means not just writing positive affirmations and affirmations down but really working on thinking those positive thoughts and finding ways to make them part of your behavior in your life offline and also online. "
