Anger? Mate, you haven't seen me angry. Believe.
Yeah, no one really gets the help they need a lot of the time. 3 month wait for a psychiatrist because I didn't actually try to kill myself. It's a joke. By the time I made it there I was fine and went for like three sessions at which time I was told I had all the answers and didn't need his help. Well, yeah, I had to fix my damn self. Not everyone is capable of doing that.
I taught myself CBT, self-medicated, meditated, turned everything into a joke, and just got on with it. I was lucky.
Hi MTown,
I was struck by your comments. It's amazing you made it through, sincere respect. I have a question. Is it possible the state of health you're achieved - entirely on your own - is durable because you got there with zero help? Many would not have overcome, you did. You must have a sense deep down that you can defeat adversity, no matter what?
Maybe now you're 'ANTI-fragile' (referring to most important book written the last 10 years by Nasim Taleb). Antifragile is beyond resilient, where stressors actually benefit. Most of the content, stable people you meet are fragile, they have been fortunate not to wall a hit.
Your weakness now is simply your taste in music, but that is for another day
