Inner weather

We sometimes get anxious about our moods and think some authority can tell us what is normal.But recently I have been thinking about the weather.It’s been the strangest  spring/ear;y summer with  a little snow and  dangerous storms.One  or two warm days
!And yet this is all within the range of the normal.We are affected by the wind especially.
If our moods change this much we might think we are mentally ill but there is no definite boundary of the normal as each person is different and then they live in different places and have economic and political problems
I am not saying nobody should seek help but  sometimes  we can ride out the storm in patience.People vary in how much they can tolerate.And if you live in a tower-block with horrible neighbours and have not much money talking therapy may not help you.
People seem to   think that talking helps our problems go away
However,from what I have read about psychoanalysis   it seems that strengthening you so you can bear your pain  more easily is one of the aims.That is, not getting rid of the pain,,
Sometimes with a bad therapist we can be re-traumatised.
When I was  younger I read a book by a man who had been jailed for killing his wife.Apparently while having psychoanalysis, he felt he was getting worse and he told his therapist he was getting thoughts about violence.Alas, the man told him we all get those feelings now and then; he did not hear what the patient tried to tell him,
The upshot was he killed his much loved wife.This was in the USA where psychoanalysis was   available more easily  than here.[for the insured!]
