One alternative explanation is that people "mentally ill" simply never learned how to get their needs met and need to be educated, not "treated".
The point of all of this being that therapy is bad and unnecessary, or that there's nothing actually wrong with the likes of me...I don't know. I just know I suck at dealing with life.
I'm also numb today. Not sure why, but it's a nice change.

Well, I don't think there is normal. Really, it's a paradox. Normal is not being normal. Not being normal is normal. But trust me. Therapy is not bad. You just need to find the right therapist for you. And a mental illness is so much more than that. It is real. It is painful. We can cope with it. That is what therapy is for. Helping us cope and heal. Just go for it. It will be really hard. I won't lie and say it's easy. But it will be worth it in the end. It has to get worse before it gets better. So cliche.

There are so many things wrong with me, and sometimes I believe there is more than what is diagnosed. I fear never healing, being left alone to crawl this heartless, cruel world. I hate myself so much, and sometimes, as much as I hate them, all I really want is a heartfelt hug. Will I ever make it through this thing called life? Or will I drown in the darkest depths of the ocean? Only time can tell. As for now, I just hide and I fear. This is, and will always be my life.
