HealthMysteries

Being depressed or feeling things are going wrong for you is a tough time, particularly when you have tried to snap out of it to no avail.  More than any other time, this is when helping other people with their problems can push you into the realization that your lot in life is really not all that bad.

Everyone has a set of challenges that includes physical as well as mental issues.  If you think about it, even if your health is not stellar by comparison to most people, if you have your mental faculties, you are way ahead of the game.

Diseases can be cured or controlled and pain can be managed.  Mental illness is a much more elusive problem for people with debillitating illnesses like dementia or psychosis of one type or another.  I am grateful not to be stricken with something so challenging.
