So we, Psychiatry users, are suffering the consequences of the lack of development of Psychiatry. Beyond that, the majority of us do not want to see the social causes of psychiatric disabilities. I think this is because many of us have been raised within cultures that highlight individuals above society. Also we don't want to question the status quo not to get more isolated, not to be estigmatized even more. But the thruth is that society and its ridiculous rules and expectations sometimes do more harm than good. Anyway, I am just saying. Sending you q big hug

This is well said. Very well said. What I have been feeling is that yes, all the responsibility for healing is being put on me. If they say I am doing well but I don't feel like I am doing well...I am at fault. I refuse to take psychiatric drugs because I feel for me this would not be the right treatment. So I am at fault because I am not accepting standard treatment.
What you wrote here is so true and it was something I was thinking about recently. That nothing is working. And that I need to come up with something "radical" and outside the box. Because I basically am physically healthy but feeling like psychologically I am getting worse.
To tell someone who is severely depressed to practice mindfulness is ridiculous. I happen to practice mindfulness. I also sleep well, take vitamins etc. etc. etc.
But I am collapsing. Right before my very own eyes. I need to save myself.
You are a brilliant contributor to this forum. Thank you.
