just because the experience you’re having isn’t clinically recognized as an illness, that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Your work is to examine the degree to which your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal relationships are disrupting or enhancing your quality of life. Therapists, books, and personal-development stuff can offer you a supportive framework as you make those considerations, but ultimately you’re the only one who knows what it’s like to be you.
