Opinionated Opinion on #MentalHealth
Interesting discussion on alanajoy's post. I broadly agree with the OP.
IMO, everybody has a bit of something at least now and again. #adulting is owning it and finding ways to manage it, or even make use of it to achieve other things.
Sometimes people need an outside perspective on their lives, sometimes people need specific skills to handle some challenge, some people need to be put in touch with a support group with others sharing the same challenge.
If you don't mind the #religious aspects, ministers of religion are really good at this. Its called Pastoral Care. That's why the army has chaplains.
If you DO mind the religious aspects, the secular equivalent is actually a #lifecoach. I know a retired firefighter who does this, he's very secular, and based AF. Just the guy for a glass of perspective and cola, and he knows enough to refer you to more specific things if you need them. He'll also tell you if he things you're doing something wrong. There are many like him.
Your GP only knows how to push pills (can be useful if you know what you need), and your typical Rogerian psychologist only knows how to cultivate you into a narcissistic, self-pitying codependent like all his other regulars. I should know, I trained as one originally.
