Dear Anita, in relation to what you wrote before, I agree that everyone has mental health issues, major or minor. I find it hard though that people will not face their problem, and will reinforce the social stigma that no-one does. I am finding more and more people to talk about it, but it still remains a taboo.
Whatsoever, it has happened a few times to me that people thought I was emotionally strong and more mature than them and thus they clang on to me, as if I were their mother, and would create problems and be negative about life, hoping that I would take them out of their ‘issues’. Once again, I would shut myself out but I have finally realized I must say no to those kinds of behaviour as it is very poisonous.
