Well, somewhere, I think we need to learn something called, "balance" There are times in life when something is acute i.e a ruptpured appendix, a mental health crisis that we need to put up front and put all our energy into taking care of and healing from. But (and it is a big but here) after a while, the crisis is gone and we need to go back to life with some balance. And sometimes we can make our mental health stuff our lives instead of living life. I think it happens alot. Our mental health stuff is just a part of us-there is so much more to us and life-If we make one-and maybe that is the crux of the issue is what kind of a life do we have? I don't know, just some thoughts and some that certainly does not apply to everyone. But that's my 2 cents.
