[Cicero]

I am getting tired of this society because of it's willingness to assign symptoms of good mental health as bad ones. I see it on this board all the time. People feel guilty for having emotions now. What is with this new trend? That in itself is the sickness. Crying and venting appropriately is healthy. Please let yourself be humans. Having emotions is not a sickness in itself. Depression can be a normal human condition depending on the length of the depression. Let yourself have a right to your feelings....It's actually empowering and a great sign of a well-rounded human being to have the full range of emotional abilities. I know we want to jump to conclusions and help when people are sad, but being sad in itself is not a sickness. It is great that toran is monitoring it to see if it's lasting, and watching out for signs that it might be enduring. I believe that's responsible and a great way to handle it.
