Everyone can benefit from psychoanalysis

I think you are overreacting Edward. My intention is honest debate on this topic. I too suffer anxiety issues and have already shared this.

First off, it’s “Father.” And second, the way you’ve begun is hardly conducive to serious debate. It’s rather belittling.

 

[Kathleen18]

You meant “Father Edward,” right?
Your sarcasm could also be misconstruded. Why do you want to debate this??

 

[goodcatholic]

OK Father although I am getting the impression you expect too much respect already.

 

[Kathleen18]

He has earned our respect!

 

[goodcatholic]

Why do you want to debate this??

because it is a very important issue. religion/mental health overlap God cant solve all our issues…or can he?

 

[goodcatholic]

OK this thread is doomed already I can see.
Is it really because people are so easily triggered? Or is it because people take themselves too seriously.
That’s what I’d like to know.

Father, perhaps you are not familiar with the OP. His posts are often written using sarcasm. Actually, in this one, I believe what he is saying is the opposite of what he believes. It’s easy to misinterpret if you are unfamiliar with his style of writing.

Thanks. although “sarcasm” has such a sinful connotation.
I just like to wake myself up too from similar pattern threads.

As someone who was most likely born with a predisposition to clinical deppression, and having battled that 95% of my life…I survived on HOPE and a fabulous doctor or two!!

 

[edward_george1]

I’m not sure that excuses being belittling and disrespectful to people with mental illness.

I actually envy you. because I cant afford to get counselling at the moment

 

[Kathleen18]

So you use sarcasm as a shield…? I am sorry you cannot afford care. It is a tricky situation.

I’ve got a mental illness. so many of us have. lets get it out of the closet. its not such a big deal. I think we need to lighten up don’t we?

 

[goodcatholic]

o you use sarcasm as a shield…? I am sorry you cannot afford care. It is a tricky situation

good insight Kathleen. I do. I’m highly oversensitive. Maybe my ego is too big too.

 

[Kathleen18]

That is your opinion. Your original post sounds harsh and belittling.

 

[goodcatholic]

Your original post sounds harsh and belittling.

That’s because you don’t know me.
I think humour does help me a lot though.

 

[goodcatholic]

Humour can help us keep perspective.
I know for instance that I can take myself too seriously trying to be a good Christian.
I honestly think God must be amused at some of our attempts to know Him better.
