I believe that I am fairly stable mentally. We all have our ghosts I'm sure. I think we all should strive to improve themselves emotionally or mentally. Personally my most obvious problem is a PTSD reaction to ambulances. Just hearing them causes my blood pressure to peak quickly. Passing an ambulance throws me into a shaking terrified whimp. I have to pull my car over and talk myself through it till I can breath once again and my hands don't have a death grip on the stearing wheel. My reaction has improved by trying to concentrate on the part of the situation which I do have control over - myself.
My family that I grew up in all seem to have their problems and all have seen counseling. My brother has uncontrollable temper that has put him in jail, my dad is suicidal, my mom is co-dependent and controlling... I personally see mental "flaws" as areas for improvement instead of something to discount as not real.
