[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 276706"] I'm still "processing" this... Perhaps it doesn't matter whether or not psychiatrists want to label it as a mental illness or not. What intrigues me is that the behavior leads to distorted, unhealthy thinking and makes folks profoundly unhappy. Unless it stops and stops fast, it seems to grow in leaps and bounds. Psychiatrists have noted that people who remain in this "bitter" state, are so unhealthy that they might enter into the realm of mental illness at some point. To me, this could mean that it might be a good idea to do what we can to shake ourselves out of this mindset as soon as possible. by the way, I think it is only natural to be upset when things go wrong. We can learn from such experiences. But its not healthy to rumminate. I just found the whole idea sooooo interesting...I'm glad you guys liked it too!!! :happy: Fran..you bring up a good point. Perhaps those people have taken some comfort in complaining or it has become a habit. This is a sad state. I find the new Steven Covey book (8th Habit) addresses this topic to a certain extent. Might be good reading for those interested. [/QUOTE]
