I was thinking that maybe sometimes when we have problems and we try therapy that somehow we get "hooked" into mental health issues. Once bitten we are drawn believing the rest of our lives we have "issues'. Like being in therapy has branded one for life. So and so does this or that which is out of character and the next thing they say ooo you have problems and need therapy.

........ What I was trying to say is that not every problem one has has to be a "mental health" issue. It is normal when a child feels lost when his parents are going through a divorce. And he strikes out in anger. It is normal to feel "overwhelmed" or "afraid" when a man/woman is going through a divorce These are normal feelings. Not mental health issues. A T could very well be helpful during these distressful times. I guess this is where the once bitten one is hooked comes in. Everything ends up being a "mental health issue".......

What is "normal" for one person may not be "normal" for another. One person is raised one way and other person raised a different way, and each person "feels" they were raised "normal". When a person is out of their "comfort zone" and they don't feel comfortable this does not mean they are not normal. It is what they know, were taught, and how they were raised.......
