Hi fallsfall
>Like Dinah, I think that mental illness is managed. We learn ways to compensate, we learn new skills to function better, but I don't think (at least in my case) that it will ever go away.
What is your mental illness? In terms of what you say that you don't think it will ever go away, well there are some mental illnesses that are just like having diabetes or some other condition - they do not go completely away. They are managed.
When I spoke with my T about what healing means, I did also say that I don't know if some (psychological or emotional) part will ever be healed or can be healed. And I have to think on what that means to me too.
