I apologize if my post seemed a bit mysterious, or undetailed. It was just opening to start the conversation. It just felt like too much information to put into one post. I can elaborate on my mental health challenges as these series of exchanges develop. I have repeatedly gone through professionals for help, and some valuable lessons have been acquired in a piecemeal fashion. I often find that as I explore life and take on new challenges, my sense of what my mental health challenges are changes. Some of this is the result of changes in perspective that result from expanding understanding. For example, being involved in a relationship has increased my sense of what being attentive to the needs of others is, as well as increasing my minimum standards for self-care. Other changes in my sense of mental health challenges result from moving the goal post for my mental health based on changing demands of different professional & interpersonal pursuits. For example, doing a data entry job might cause me to put less emphasis on executive dysfunction, because it demands less of that function than say, a job like case management in which appointments, reminders, & notes constantly press you, so the degree of difficulty and types of demands change your sense of what needs to be addressed. Lastly, I would add that it is correct to get professional help, but it is just one piece of the puzzle (I personally characterize mental health maintenance as a whole lifestyle, & not exclusively a therapeutic interaction). It is important to distinguish between "under management" versus "resolved" regarding one's mental health. A concern that I am often left with, is that mental health as it is currently understood, can only be characterized as "under management" (as opposed to resolved), and even that is a matter of degree.
