i believe that most people have issues/disorders. i feel the ones that recognize it and/or seek help are ahead of the game.

So true, Kimmy! That made me think of one of my professors in grad school (who was also a longtime therapist). The first night of our first class is said - "I'm not worried about people who are going for counseling; it's the people who are driving up and down I-4 (major interstate here) and think they're ok!"

While using it reference to therapy, same goes for any type of issue/illness. And I'm always amazed when I'm sharing about my illness with someone and at first they are like "Oh, I've never had anything like that (which used to bug me in the past). THEN as the conversation goes on...9 times out of 10, the person confides in me some mental health issue.

There are still so many people who don't feel safe sharing what they are going through - the more education the better - and we are all "walking educators."
