my t told me something that really stuck with me (and not much does the first time...lol). i told him that i just want to be normal! he said he can't help me there. i was shocked! he followed up by saying that he didn't not believe in normal and that's it's individual perception that may never fully be achieved and, therefore, always keeping a person feeling at a loss. he finished with saying that he DID believe in "average" as in terms of mental health, living in society, etc., and that he could help me with. i thought that was really something that i could attain, because in my case, he's right...i would never achieve normal. it's always out of reach as the qualifications continually change. average is much more attainable to me

be safe,
