Idealism in Context…

Published by perennialsam at 11:59 pm under My Personal Experience Edit This

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.
