RE: How To Handle Painful Feelings
It is sad that we don't teach people appropriate ways to deal with their feelings until they become problematic and they seek help. It should be a basic life lesson for everyone.
You're right. It's sad that a lot of people are not taught to deal with their feelings appropriately.
It's great,though, that information about dealing with feelings are available on the web and books. Emotional regulation methods are now also getting taught in a lot of schools and companies.
A lot of the stigma associated with depression and other mental illness has diminished over the years, as society's understanding increases. I think the online resources helps individuals and those that care about them become informed of their options.
Yes, you're right. A lot of the stigma has lessened and there are a lot of resources available. It's great that popular celebrities are sharing their struggles as well.
