I would like to clarify here that a VERY HAPPY AND UPBEAT person should be able to lighten-by-sharing without others assuming the person is all “down in the dumps”.
And if a person starts a thread about whatever’s “eating” them, which MANY POSTERS DO, no one should make them feel stupid for asking the CR’s opinions.
I HIGHLY DOUBT ANYONE MAKES ANY SERIOUS DECISIONS BASED PURELY ON ADVICE FROM THE CR,don’t worry!
Lastly,it’s impolite to ask a total stranger whether they consult with a therapist,now,then, or in the future.
