Dear helleia:

You wrote: ” It could be that I… have a flawed brain.”

In my experience, I was confused and clueless about the nature of what was going on in my life, confused and clueless about making the simplest choices, not because I had a flawed brain but because my emotions were locked in those… tight knots (as I term it) and therefore not available for me. Without my emotions to guide me in seeing what was taking place around me and inside me, I was clueless. Intellect alone is not adequate as a guide in life. Emotions are necessary.

17 years of psychiatric medication, by the way, did absolutely nothing to guide me and I was as confused, at the end of the 17 years, than I was at the beginning.
