I guess maybe I am discounting the power of not feeling alone and the power of the validation that what we have is real and we can't help it. It sure is easy to forget and be all ashamed all over again.

@TheOriginalMe I can't for the life of me understand why you guys in the NHS can't get in to see a pdoc and get therapy. That is a messed up mental health system. I think I would fake severe crisis just to fit in their little boxes. I feel like faking suicide crisis and going to the hospital just to fit into social security's little box her in the US. As mental health patients we need a bigger lobby and better services. Not to disparage any other disease but we get short shrift.
