Good for you! As someone that could be a professional counselor but choose to raise a family, all they do is help you see where the problems are, but they can't fix them. That's still up to you to do. So you figured that out for yourself and are on the road to they would have sent you down.

@antonyjh1234 It also means you'll never go beyond that to improve your situation. I've moved 3 times each for better financial success so we could provide a better future for our children. We could have remained in the area we had security for ourselves but offered nothing beyond what we had accomplished for our children or move to a place where we're better off and that's expanding and offers more for them. We chose the latter and our children are very grateful because they've already achieved far more than ever would have.

@margarethoff1992 It depends on what you have. You can't fix paranoid schizophrenia. They tell you that because you're supposed to develop tools within your life to compensate for your problem. For example if you have ADHD, learning how to better organize can be a huge help. The medication for such things aren't supposed to be lifelong but a crutch while you sort it out and learn tools. Those tools are going to ge different for everyone so telling someone to do this or that might not help them. That causes them to believe there are no work arounds and to stop trying. Blaming the psychologist because the patient refuses to do what they're supposed to do is asinine. Edit: I have Lupus. The doctors said it's forever because it is. Should I hate myself too? It's factual. It'll never go away. You have to learn to deal with it. Would you rather they lie and say it'll magically go away so they don't bother learning how to deal with it so it consumes them and they live a life of constant failures? Just like you see with permanent medical conditions, there are people that will learn to cope with it and lead fulfilling lives and people that won't and wallow in their suffering. It's their choice.

@the_expidition427 Please point to a time in history that the majority of the population had access to the same healthcare as the leaders or rich. It's not and never has been a right to use someone else's labor and knowledge for free. That's called slavery. The poor in the US have free healthcare. It's called Medicaid so what you claimed is 100% false. There's also free clinics, clinics with sliding scale fees, and charity. If people choose to not use them out of pride or whatever, that's not my problem or the rest of the population's. They aren't my responsibility. I'm responsible for myself and my family. That's it.

What? Unless you live in India or somewhere that still has a caste system then your class isn't very limiting. If you're smart there are scholarships available to help you reach your potential, if you're not you can get experience in the work field and change jobs and move to improve your situation. I'm sorry, but I've lived in poverty and that didn't limit my ability to make good choices and get out of it. Only a very small percentage of those in poverty remain in it. The majority reach middle class at some point in their lifetime. If class defined you that wouldn't be the case. You can't eliminate class because we're a hierarchical species. Just like you can't eliminate poverty because if everyone moves to the middle class then the middle class is considered poverty because the standard of living improved across the board. That's why there's a difference between poverty and abject poverty.

Good lord! Restaurants were closed for 2 years? That was only a couple of states fortunately. Mine was only 3 weeks.
