I used to think it was mind over matter and that some people just couldn't cope with life because they were defunct.
However, when I was real sick with a low oxygen count and didn't know it....I really WASN'T seeing all things rationally or making good decisions. I had to focus on driving and not getting upset over everything. I didn't know what was wrong with me and why I was so confused. I thought I was going senile.
After that situation, I more understood if someone had a particular chemical imbalance or even a physical illness ...they could easily feel overwhelmed in life and not react productively.
This is not the same as people who are just negative all the time because feeling sorry for themselves is their character. People like that annoy me.
