Hi ZenAlex!

By “spiritual community” I’m assuming you mean the spirit-science type of people who enjoy discussing topics such as..”opening the third eye”, “chakras”, “meditation”… um..”astral projection?” haha, sorry if I’m wrong, that’s just what comes to mind at first..

Well I used to get frustrated with the community because it seemed they minimize quite often. For instance, I read a lot of articles about “how to overcome anxiety” or “how to beat depression” and it doesn’t really take into consideration those who have severe illnesses. Lately, I see less of this lately though (that’s why I love this website; they never minimize mental illness). Don’t get me wrong; I do think meditation can help a lot, it can be 10 times more difficult for someone going through mania, etc. and I feel a lot of the time spiritual writers almost assume that everyone is neurotypical.

To deal with the frustrations, I just go to psychology websites (or here).
