After some reflection today I have felt it necessary to remind myself that sometimes a problem is just a problem, and not due to being a person with a mental health issue.
At times it feels like my mood disorder is the cause of all my problems. But I know that even if my health issues were to evaporate one day, I would still have the difficulties that other people encounter. I have always had a particularly hard time with regard to choosing a life path. Although my circumstances may vary from other people, I have to remember that everyone else has what they feel are disadvantages of their own. I know several people who have begun and left multiple college/university programs. These people do not all have mental health related issues. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that even if I did not have major depressive disorder, my life would not be perfect.
I don’t know that it’s really worth it to post about this, just something I was thinking about today.
