I don't find this rambling at all. I think this was so well put!!! Thanks Malady.

I agree so much with this post and am really happy to see this. Myzen, how true when you say that counseling is different then the real life experiences. Can you all imagine if all of us were therapists; lolol. No really though, if anyone in this world dealing with these types of illnesses, we would rock!!!! I often wonder why the ones that decided this as a career to help others maintain health or improve their lives when so many of them do more damage than good because of the lack of understanding and compassion; that half the people that are considered professionals working with mental illness are so ignorant to the ones who do suffer. It boggles my mind. In my experience I have gained more knowledge from the professionals that have lived much of this themselves. I am not saying that they can't possibly be good at their jobs without going through everything but I do see a difference with the ones I have dealt with. Like the t I have, the one I care for so deeply; she too has had a rough life.

HEHE, see me babble. Sorry, I have enjoyed everyones perpectives on this. Its amazing how this can be looked at from so many different angles. Thanks for the "thinker". Oh and I do want to say that I also agree with the fact that people in this forum are very empathetic, I see many strong, caring, wise, loving souls here. I know that we get through tough days being in this forum as the compassion is here.

Justy
