Wow, Lizardlady! That was a great read. Thanks for sharing that.
From his pen, to God's ears. I hope it opens people's eyes, and helps many more.
I personally put off getting help on account of the stigma, myself. Ultimately, it became abundantly clear that was not the way to go.
I am glad I got the help I need when I did. It wasn't world-class or overwhelmingly humane, like I'm certain Wil's experience was; but it was enough to set me on a healing path.
Any kind of care is almost always better than unnecessary suffering.
