    You might want to find out so you can work with whatever your diagnosis may be. It may be something as simple as changing the way you think, it could be more. But whatever you’re doing now doesn’t seem to be working.

    My personal experience after finally getting help was that some of what I was going through was more of my own choosing as opposed to whatever my diagnosis was. Some work on the way I thought about things helped much more than expected. I still have real issues, but less than I had before.

    Go talk to a professional first, figure out what’s going on.

    Oh, if the answer to your post question is no, it’s not normal, what would you do?

    I can see that. When I was real little (late 70s/early 80s), the only way you were getting traditional Mexican food was either from a Mexican friend/family or at a restaurant and those were typically owned/run by Mexicans. If someone lived in a city with few to no Mexicans, it was unlikely to have a restaurant so I think people missed out in many places until Taco Bell got there.

    Side note - west coast road trips when I was a kid usually consisted of diners and other American food restaurants. Very little variety at all. Once we left L.A./SoCal, Mexican and Asian food basically disappeared.

    Sure they advertise it that way, but no one really believes it anymore. They’ve been doing that since they opened in the 60s, when Mexican food wasn’t nearly as ubiquitous as it is now. They just keep on keeping on and no one really cares. At least the food is based on Mexican fare.

    But eating at TB is not about “authentic”. It’s about taste. And price to some small extent. The TB near me (South L.A. area) has 3 Mexican spots within a block, as well as a Salvadorean place across the street. There’s two street vendors who sell next to the TB on alternating nights. With all that, the TB is still busy with Latinos. Some people just like it.
