Mental Health 1

I have jokingly said, in this life, that I have yet seen a functional family.

Why do I say that?  Because that has been my experience.

Seemingly all families struggle with mental health issues, and most do not speak about them. And in not talking about them? The dysfunction becomes self-perpetuating.

Life is messy and stressful, and we need strong, healthy coping mechanisms. In lieu of decent coping skills, we grasp at anything to take the edge off; and in the process, we deny the severity of our issues.

We, as a culture, as of right now are smack dab in the middle of a severe mental health crisis.
