Hey everyone,

I was just thinking about how much time and money I've spent dealing with my mental health issues - and was shocked to reflect on it! I'm curious what other people's experiences have been! Please share!

Here's mine:

Early Psychosis Treatment - 2 years (Twice monthly sessions)
Inpatient Hospital Ward - 33 days
Outpatient Care Facility - 2 months
Outpatient Hospital Programs - 50 days
Mental Health Therapists - well over 100 sessions
DBT - 2 years (Just starting)

I don't even want to consider the costs. Luckily I am in Canada. All I gotta say is you lot in the USA are extraordinarily strong people considering the high cost of mental health care and the resilience in moving forward despite all the challenges!

Thanks,
HD7970GHZ
