@HamonWry I initially misread the prompt as "How do you deal with mental health issues?", and I really liked the way those responses worked with that question.

@HamonWry Doesn't everyone?

@HamonWry Yes. I can't afford what it costs to have someone else 'deal with them'. If I didn't deal with them myself i'd be dead by now.

@HamonWry Not sure, I'm unsure about answering because I always thought other people had the mental issues and all I needed to do at the outset was figure out how I did my thinking. I did need a second opinion for help on one problem, but I asked my father if he also had trouble with thoughts whizzing so quickly that they filled the head at bedtime preventing sleep. He was the same and he introduced me to a method of meditation. Later, when I was old enough to read, I learned more ways to control my thoughts. When I was in my fifties, someone asked me what is wrong with me; so, I went and did tests. It turns out I enjoy my amount of autism and the person who asked me turned out to be disliked by others because she is petty and vindictive. Do I deal with mental issues? Maybe I only deal with them when more than one mind enters the social space and I need to deal with the mentality of the other speaker. Illogic confuses me.
