I think that all we really need is a friend. I mean, what did people do before the days of psychologists, or at least, before EVERYONE had one?
Come one, most of us are pretty much okay. Of course we have our down days, but that doesn’t mean we need professional help. We just need a friend.
Be it a parent, a spouse, a sibling, anyone really who cares enough to ignore their phone for a while, and bother to understand what’s going on in our lives. (And no, texting “wasup” every couple of hrs don’t count, and neither is email.)
Just mytake on this.
