In the Battle of Barrington, Baby Face Nelson was fatally shot by federal agents. When you feel surrounded and outnumbered by the problems in your life, your mind switches from the good in life to the challenges you’re facing. Yet, you think more about the unfairness of life than the solutions you might find.

Thinking clearly and rationally isn’t possible when you don’t have good mental health. Then, your disordered thoughts lead you to distressing emotions. You’re helpless to do better on your own. Talk to a counselor in the Barrington area to resolve your mental health issues.
