I have been thinking a lot about what my cousins fiance has been saying about me becoming independent and not relying on a counsellor and medication to improve me. I understand what he says as I am assuming that he is concerned that I will use my psychologist and my medication as another scapegoat. However how do I become independent if I have no idea how to function completely on my own. Is he really right that these are just more excuses to blame my mental health instead of becoming independent. To be honest I 100% think so. I cannot remember a time that I haven't used my state of mind to escape a consequence of a behaviour but that's not that what happened on a social scale. There will always be a consequence for my anti-social and uncooperative behaviour wither I want to see it or not. The issue now is to stop hiding behind it.
