Sometimes it is just the perception that they have it worse than others, or worse than where they would rather be. This is all that matters really.

  That's not an excuse for saying they're normal and therefore denying what they might actually be going through. I find it amazing the double standards when it comes to physical vs mental problems. No one asserts to a quadriplegic that their physical circumstances are "normal". No one treats a quadriplegic who says they're quadriplegic as, because of saying this, having an attitude problem.

    I wasn't saying that therefore they don't have mental problems, I was saying that due to this, therefore they do. For reference, I am going through something similar that to an outsider they would see something that looked like a wonderfully fortuitous event, but my personal experience of it pushed me into a deep depression.

      > I wasn't saying that therefore they don't have mental problems, I was saying that due to this, therefore they do. I don't understand what you're saying -- what does the "this" refer to? I'm also a bit unclear on where your coming from, because my comment about calling someone normal is referring to someone else's statement, not yours.
