Bitterness To Be Classified As a Mental Illness

Some psychiatrists are trying to get excessive bitterness identified as a mental illness named post-traumatic embitterment disorder. Of course this has some people who live perfect little lives, and always get what they want, questioning the new classification. The so called "disorder" is modeled after post-traumatic stress disorder because it too is a response to a trauma that endures. "They feel the world has treated them unfairly. It's one step more complex than anger. They're angry plus helpless," says Dr. Michael Linden, the psychiatrist who put a name to how the world works.

    Wow that was quite an open and honest confession you just laid out there. I am glad that you have found help within the church. I can tell you from experience that if you spend time in prayer and meditation, God's Holy Spirit will work with you to achieve a healing in your iife. Peace comes through the knowledge of God - the more you learn about him the more peace you will find. Be strong in the Lord and meek in his strength.
