I don’t wanna constantly make my issues everyone’s problem by posting in a main forum regularly but I do wanna talk to other people about em. And I also wanna help other people through their shit as well. So some direction where it wouldn’t be out of place to talk about such things would be nice. Thanks!
In 1913, Freud wrote to Jung:

For Freud, the difference between a “normal” person and a neurotic is not a difference in kind, but a difference in degree. He argued that the same conflicts exist in both; the question is merely whether those conflicts have become pathogenic (disease-causing) and how the person defends against them.
This continues to be an important principle in psychotheraputic work today.
for freud a neurotic is a “normal” person. the abnormal would be a psychotic or a perverse. he may phrase it a bit weirdly but you cannot not be one of those.
