My goodness some people are horrid, aren't they *hugs * I had similar "advice" when wanting help getting to see a psychologist. That I should make am attempt in order to be hospitalised. Considering I have kids this is especially terrible! Needless to say I have nothing to do with him since then. There are amazing resources on YouTube, and here on PC, even I have had a really good improvement in symptoms in the last month, so it's definitely not hopeless!
