I have tried mindfulness. Sometimes helps but not when I am triggered and overwhelmed.

I have lots of coping techniques but there is no cure. I find meds don't work for me. They have no positive effect and I suffer badly from the side effects.

Positive thinking helps but sometimes life is just bad and no amount of positive spin will change it. It will still be bad in years to come too.

Do you know of any treatments that may help us in the UK? We have terrible mental health services who cause us more harm.

Much love to you
