Minsku said:However, I do feel like the society puts unrealistic pressure on people. It’s like as soon as you get any help at all, you are expected to just bounce back and become a productive citizen again. God forbid if it takes you a little longer to get better. Then the fault is automatically in you, your attitude or your negative thinking. Because how can you not recover when you have help?

This should be allowed as a form of healing, but then a person could become anchored to this feeling. When the emotion has served you, then we must look at all of the options on the horizon. With one paddle stroke at a time we can explore the world again.
rewak said:Oh yeah that definitely happens, it's just a symptom of our quick fix society. There's been so many advances in physical health care that for a lot of things it is just a matter of take this and you'll be fine, so people have come to expect that. Sadly the advances in metal health have been slower, especially in the general understanding of it within the population, so people just don't get it. But again someone else's misunderstanding or lack of information on a subject is not your fault, and if someone doesn't get it you can always try to explain it to them. If they still don't get it that's fine, it is a pretty personal thing that can be hard to understand until you actually experience it yourself, and then everyone would describe it a little differently.
Modern society/culture is the greatest part of the problem. There's this mania...Minsku said:However, I do feel like the society puts unrealistic pressure on people.
