Man, do I feel fortunate I don't feel like I've had to struggle with mental health. I've had several instances recently where I see the calamity the human brain can be, and feel very fortunate to have my faculties mostly together. I know there are some on here who have struggled with mental health directly, or within their families or friends, and it literally can be a killer. If you are whole, or mostly whole, count your blessings! That's what I'm trying to do with this post!

So true buddy, whatever our individual struggles are, and we all have them, you never have to look to far to find someone else whose struggles dwarf your own.
I complained I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.......or something.
well, and to AOTF it: I complained I had a little pecker, until I met a man...
and, then to 2022 it: but he identifies as a woman and we call her Alice.

I think a little metal is good for your mental health... or at least your metal health as you point out!

Most of my sorrow in life has had to do with my children. If they aren't doing well it just crushes me. My youngest grandson had to have brain surgery at six months old because he was born with hemamegalecephay (sp?) We didn't know if he would live or die. He is partially paralyzed on his left side so he will have to work a lot harder to walk and do things someday.Man, do I feel fortunate I don't feel like I've had to struggle with mental health.

Shit, I just reached out to an old therapist of mine. He’s now charging $225 per session and is out of network with most insurance. Plus he’s primarily meeting via telemedicine. Shit these people are in serious demand and get to go to work in their pajamas.
You're in luck! I'm branching out from the cabinet business. I only charge $150 per session - $200 if I have to listen to the subject's incessant whining. Have your people call my people to set something up.
It's great to hear your positive outlook and gratitude for your mental well-being. Acknowledging our blessings is indeed important, especially when we consider the challenges that many face with mental health. Even though you haven't struggled directly, your empathy towards those who have is admirable. Mental health struggles can be overwhelming, impacting individuals and their loved ones.

All therapists really need to do is have their clients see a reassuring nod from you every now and then when listening to their problems. Clients on the couch don’t realize that scratch pad and pencil in your hand is for just for that, chicken scratches, if not your grocery list.
My son-in-law just received his master’s degree in counseling. I think access to internet communication, ie social media, has created opportunity for more stress in the average citizen’s daily life. He’ll have lots of business opportunities from which to pick and choose.
Sorry to hear that... Nothing sadder than when that sort of thing happens to a child... Prayers headed your way (for his future)...
