I'm probably just stating the obvious here, but it's just a few thoughts of how i have "learnt to deal with things"...
sometimes it's easier to look at it as the bigger picture; the birds eye view, because then it becomes more apparent that everything is made up of a sum of parts... an equasion that not one or a couple of things could have caused... things accumilate and it's a lot easier to accept that a messed up childhood + neglect + high expectations (or whatever factors fit) = trigger for mental health issues
and trigger for mental health issues + perfectionist streak + genetic predisposition = eating disorder (again just another random example)
often i have found looking for definitive answers is about as easy to distinguish as one hair from another on my head... i guess what i mean is if i look at a singular hair it doesn't look all that significant, but if i step back and look at my hair as a collective form i know i would be a lot different without it... if that makes any sense at all.
in my mind i don't have to find a cause or an answer, i just need to solve the problems in my head... if there's a problem then often there is a way to neutralise the equasion, but if there is just a "why?" question then often it is hard to determine (think of all the why questions you asked as a child or children have asked you that seem impossible to answer)... i'm just rambling but i think there's a point in there somewhere
