Adams's 2nd Law of Mental Health

"No one comes through a traumatic life event unscathed."

Immediately following a traumatic life event, you may think that you made it through completely fine, totally healthy. You didn't. You need time to heal. Everyone does, but very few people accept it. Only after some significant time has passed will you realize how screwed up you really were in that period.

Adams's 1st Law of Mental Health

"The human mind requires attention. You can volunteer that attention when you're sane by making time for rest, creativity, and fun, otherwise, your mind will demand attention by creating insanity."
