It bothers me to, I mean I can hardly think of recovery because I don't see how I am supposed to recover from mental illness living in this society. So I try to find ways of accepting that and trying to figure out how to live my life and such..but its hard to find much support for that approach or maybe I just don't word it right. I think my therapist finally understand why I feel hopeless about life and that its more than simple thoughts and feelings.
But yeah I am not too happy about it either, and I don't think it helps with my mental health. Especially when there's stigma towards mental health issues and the governments trying to figure out who to screw with the spending cuts when they could maybe cut some of the funding out of things that aren't essential not things like food stamps, SSI or medicaid.
