Acceptance of Your Condition(s)

You can not fix it till you accept you have it otherwise what are you fixing? 
I have an anxiety disorder. 
I have claustrophobic thoughts, I am not claustrophobic. I do not fear being alone.
I have Agoraphobia but not of the older classification. I do not fear open spaces.
I do not have GAD.
I do not have depression, but I do get sad.
I am not bipolar or schizophrenic but do have mood swings.
I have core beliefs but they are not all negative.
I have limited movement and a lot of damage from accidents and arthritis but I am still functional with the use of aids and mind set.
I am still repairing the last ten years mental damage. I have cures that which was before. It is not over.

Does anyone understand my condition? I really doubt it. Sunny does pretty much although ours are different. Yes some one understanding would make a big difference. Don't hold your breath expecting it. Like telling some one blind what a sunset looks like.

Is not part of the reason for the forums just that, that we sort of understand each others condition. And would more if we opened up more.

Denying any condition would reduce application of the aids.  I have a lot of perseverance which helps me(some might see it as obsessive is that reframing or denial?).
 
I wonder how others feel about accepting their condition(s).

What would it look like is someone were to accept their condition?

This is very interesting and thought provoking thread you have started here..

I think cbt helps one to see the reality of it all and therefore enables a person to interpret the reality of their own personal situation...so that the can move in a positive forward direction with their life..

I wonder how easy it's been for others to accept your illness/condition since there are so many other obstacles such as stigmas, navigating the health systems, interpreting reality filtered by the illness
