Allegedly, his field of work provides him with credibility but I doubt he's a trained and licensed psychologist/psychiatrist. I'd have an easier time believing he means he volunteers as a backseat driver on the short bus than that.

none of it is contradictory, i said mental illness is a super broad term and my initial mental picture of someone with a mental illness is someone not functional enough to use a message board. all just relatin to my comments about there bein differnet levels and degrees of mental health... which is jsut relatin to me sayin i dont take ppl real serious on the internet who claim they have mental illness, MOST OF THE TIME. why?? cause i see ppl way worse than them on a daily basis and i understand everyones extreme desire to be a victim/oppressed. doesnt apply to all cases and guess what?? most of the time ppl that are diagnosed fulfill a slef fulfilling prophecy... hmm whys that?? cause they use their diagnoses as an excuse
i only brought up my job(s) to help show that i know what im pretty informed about mental health, likely more than 99% of this forum. not that other thoughts arent completely invalid. but yes, workin ina field tends to make you more knowledgable about that field. also you are a cook and i dont have trouble believin that lol
