I'm sorry but you just don't seem do know what you are talking about. I routinely can't do mundane task that would cost me a lot of trouble if I didn't do it, because it upset me. As say in the article, someone just telling me to do it has as much effect as someone telling me to cheer up when I was depressed. I do agree with you that is detrimental to label yourself anything and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy but a lot of what was said in this article resonate with my experience.
