With the utmost respect, this is a load of utterly self-serving crap. I'm doing this for your own good - how could I turn away from someone who is so deeply lost in error? What you are presenting is a thinly-veiled ad hominem argument, touching protestations of concerns notwithstanding. It seeks to invalidate the OP's post without actually addressing the issues he or she raised. There was no reason to raise the issue of mental health. If you were suggesting that a less biased third party might help, then any helpful person - friend, teacher, coach, co-worker, etc. - could be used. No need for this person to be a mental health worker.

No competent mental health professional would dare make a diagnosis, nor form an opinion of someone's mental health, based solely on what that person writes in a post or series of posts. What you are seeing is a minute fragment of who this person is, a fragment devoid of almost all emotional clues, relying entirely on his or her chosen words in response to matters that take place here. You have no basis for making any diagnosis of stress, psychological disorder, or other condition, even if you are a professional in the field. Since you are apparently not a professional, your "diagnosis" is even less relevant. It is nothing more than a shameful putdown.

You seem to be trying to imply that, since this person sounds upset, and since some people who have mental problems are upset, therefore, this person has mental problems. This does not follow, of course. He or she may also have a valid complaint about unfair treatment. Most people get upset when treated badly. That's not a sign of illness.
