I went to a counselor last month to help me cope with all that is on my plate. During the 2nd session (1st one was the intake), he informed me that I lacked common sense (regarding money and animals). Then he said he loves animals too, and everybody lacks common sense in some way - some drink too much, some eat too much, etc. When I told him that I wasn't looking for any more cats to take in, he said, "Good for you!" All my brain processed was the word "good", which made his statement come across as highly judgemental. I was more anxious and feeling more hopeless after I left. Two things I was seeking help for. I don't need that kind of help. I am pretty sure that lacking common sense is not a diagnosis in any way. And even if it was, how would you treat it? Plus I was very depressed and crying because the last time I saw this counselor was the day before Brock died, and I still have Noelle to care for (sinus cancer). I would like to tell him that HE lacked common sense in saying such things to someone in the throes of depression. Marsha On 5/18/2016 6:30 PM, Amani Oakley wrote: > Rachel > > I am just like you.
