Well people have to admit when they cant cope by themselves, when things are too much to handle, when they are overwhelmed and unable to envisage positive future, when they are plagued by constant distressing difficult thoughts feelings and images. Its not right if people arent treated well by professionals and denied help they need. We all need help and support from others at times. Its not weak to seek help. Stuff ive tried to do for self hasnt worked because of my severe illness that has greatly affected my life and is challenging for me to live with daily. I wish my life was free of it cos it isnt enjoyable, pleasant or safe having it. I could end my life because i am not managng things well with it which requires professional input. Im not able to ignore or pretend it isnt serious illness because its obvious to me. If i were able to just help self alone to deal with it easily that would be great but people are different and have different perspectives and experiences with it and for me i see it just like a severe debilitating life threatening illness that has worsened over time. We should all be able to access/receive good quality help and support from professionals when and if we need to. It isnt right if people who suffer from severe health condition are denied help or mistreated by staff, experience bullying neglectful approaches making them feel more distressed. If we recognise we need help, that we cant just deal with issues alone, thats important and should be able to get it. Helping self involves taking responsibility in recognising understanding and trying to address issues we have,which professional help may be vital. In my case i have managed to keep going in spite of the difficulties ive had with it and not having professional help but i havent found it at all easy to live with this illness and i do fear i could end up taking my own life .
