"Hate to say Tamms, you really don't know the Brit psyche, we they just think about real life differently then do USC's."





That in a nutshell would be the basis of many of the er "discussions" shall we say in here.

Still don't want to get off the real subject, 50 million people, no insurance, 200 million more, bad insurance. Would not be surprised if only 50, have good insurance.
You obviously don't know very much about San Francisco, not that it's ever stopped you.

Cincinnati is not LA, I know, but it is not BFE. I am sure I actually know many people that have been to a therapist, they just do not share the information with everyone they know. And California is not the same as the Midwest....in general, I think people try to deal with their problems on their own here unless there is a court order involved

And as to the Brit psyche, I never claimed to know it (nor do I have a desire) but get by knowing enough to live in harmony with my DH. You are right about Brits/Yanks thinking about life differently; Americans do have a different outlook on life as evidenced by the multiple posts on BE.

It's not typically something a person will broadcast here. I'll go so far as to say that a person will be treated differently if he/she informs people they are seeing a shrink. There is definitely a stigma associated with going to a shrink.

My brother went to one as a child to help him sort through his problems and was eventually diagnosed with ADD. The family, including myself, was required to attend a few sessions. From what I remember of those sessions, it wasn't that helpful, and it definitely wasn't helpful for my brother who continued his behavior.

Yes, I agree, Brits tend to be more grounded & stable, there are an awful lot of flakes here in USA. Of course, I have only lived in Big City USA, never lived in Peeknuckle Arkansas.

I never said I thought Brits were more grounded and stable. You are agreeing to my saying they have a "different" outlook on life.

Jesus, that is not 'dryness', it was being just plain mean. People confuse the put down for humor, when it is not.
