"Am I being detained?"

"DETAINED MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

yes, there are some people like that. Same with George Clooney, and I've always heard that Tom Cruise is incredibly professional and friendly to everyone, all co-workers, fans, etc. Arnold S., Will Smith, too. Will Smith I incredibly respect him.

For sure. "A man known as Aretaeus of Cappadocia has the first records of analyzing the symptoms of depression and mania in the 1st century of Greece. There is documentation that explains how bath salts were used to calm those with manic symptoms and also help those who are dealing with depression. Even today, lithium is used as a treatment to bipolar disorder which is significant because lithium could have been an ingredient in the Greek bath salt."

 

"The earliest written descriptions of a relationship between mania and melancholia are attributed to Aretaeus of Cappadocia. Aretaeus was an eclectic medical philosopher who lived in Alexandria somewhere between 30 and 150 AD. Aretaeus is recognized as having authored most of the surviving texts referring to a unified concept of manic-depressive illness..."

 

Galen also wrote about mental illnesses. "...one of Galen's major works, On the Diagnosis and Cure of the Soul's Passion, discussed how to approach and treat psychological problems. This was Galen's early attempt at what would later be called psychotherapy. His book contained directions on how to provide counsel to those with psychological issues to prompt them to reveal their deepest passions and secrets, and eventually cure them of their mental deficiency. The leading individual, or therapist, had to be a male, preferably of an older, wiser, age, as well as free from the control of the passions. These passions, according to Galen, caused the psychological problems that people experienced."

I guess, the only answer I can think of, is: what would the person who died, want you to do - whether it is a mother, father, wife, child, or whomever, and however they died. Would they honestly want you to have the best life you can, move on from them and laugh and learn and live and enjoy life to the fullest? Or would they want you to grieve your entire life - and by that, I mean paralyzing grief, as opposed to normal, warranted, and timely grief.

I think the answer is clear.

As far as the normal grieving process, unfortunately, time is the only answer. If you break your leg, you can't make it heal in a day. When you lose someone significant, you can't make it go away in a day. However, just like you see a doctor if your leg is broken, it is ok to see a therapist if you are grieving. Especially if you know (and you know) if your grieving process is not healing you. In any case, you should see a therapist right away, just like we see a doctor if our leg is broken. You can learn coping skills, and re-frame the tragedy that is life, when people leave us.

A political candidate who is tone deaf, and socially and politically awkward is a fantastic reason not to vote for someone.
