RE: Why I stopped therapy

in #mentalhealth26 days ago

England... I dunno, my experience is that it's far, far worse than much poorer countries. People are pulling their own teeth out because they either can't afford it, or there's literally no dentists for 100km and 80% aren't taking new customers anymore. You can wait 12 months+ for serious issues, and unknown numbers have died waiting, for service.

So what's the point in having good quality care when it's not available to even use? Needless to say, mental health is bottom of the barrel in terms of priority.

It’s good to know you are ‘normal’

People have accused (?) me of having depression over the years, and I don't hide the fact that I'm monstrously insecure, but I don't like to box that into a disorder as I could probably fix it myself if I wanted lol.

Being surrounded by basically all friends and family with everything from bipolar and PTSD, to schizophrenia and manic psychotic episodes, it certainly doesn't *feel *'normal'! But regarding strengths, I do think it makes for far more interesting - and caring - people.
