Ah Shiva, Self-defined avenging sword of the gods and defender of
"integrity".
When did your "leaky Messiah complex*" develop? You want a woody? Here, let
me cut in half, tie the pieces together and give them to you. Now you have
your own woody in an appropriate shape. Now why don't you take it elsewhere
and go play with yourself.

*Father Thomas D. Doesen:

...comes from a codependent background and unknowingly continues the
dynamics... Adult children of alcoholics are common codependents. The traits
of codependents are closely connected... selfless to the point of hurting
himself or herself. Psychosomatic illness is common in the codependent. Life
becomes a pain in the anatomy. There is a need for aspirin, Bufferin,
Preparation H, and so forth, in the beginning, and it can build to major
medical care over years.
How have you been feeling recently?
Some common process addictions/dependencies are: work or busyness / sex
(casual or recreational) / negative memories / “prayer” and worry / eating
disorders (boulimia, anorexia, compulsive overeating) / religious fanaticism
/ sports (spectator or participant) / “collecting” dependent people /
exclusive friendships / the Peter Pan syndrome / the Wendy complex /
exercise / reading / attention-rejection-exhaustion / greed (compulsive
spending) / control-power-manipulation / success-failure-competition / TV /
sleep / anger-guilt-depression / self-pity and co-pity /
anger-denial-control.
Beginning to sound familiar?
You might also find the "Neuroanatomy of Depression" by R. Joseph, Ph.D.
helpful. See http://www.brain-mind.com/Depression.html
Patients may come to believe that they have taken up the sins of the world
(e.g. messiah complex) and that it is up to them to act at the behest of
[the Group]... They may therefore "preach" and write out their psychotic
religious beliefs.
