^ GP telling us there is “no cure”

This may be so. But there are tools which they are denying us accesss to, DBT, trauma therapy, a therapist who listens and cares or even just tries to help .. to name a few. I don’t have much respect for many GP’s opinions on mental health issues and I .... ugh ...

Much love to you Thirty shades

The support we give each other and knowing we are not alone is very much appreciated. Being accepted AS IS, being our own friend is a starting point...

The NHS doesn't care about us... (therapists actually ask me what treatment I need... If we knew how to treat ourselves we would not be there! They are actually clueless, we need psychologists with real skills and training)
The DWP hate us too...
And yet they expect us to be normal...

Much love and hugs to you Fuzzy

I am happy that we are speaking out here...
it is so important to speak out and not be judged....
I am listening and trying to understand what is going on...
there are so many good people here....

I am trying to figure out how to treat myself...
I sense that this may be important when I talk with my
people in real life...I need to be fair and just with myself..
i am a broken person but i want to be kind to myself
and understanding....i have been too cruel to the little turtle...
just for having a mental illness...what have i been doing to me...

i hope we can all be more happy on this AS IS bus thing..we
can help each other...and the hell to all the therapy that doesn't
work and/or is harmful....we need a TRUE bus....

I am trying to face what happened to me....
facing reality....I caused myself too much stress...
I took on a position of chief resident...in psychiatry
that was more responsibility than I wanted
or could handle without something breaking down..
it was too much for me...I tend to do that...
I am still learning hopefully...

Little Turtle, do you have any insight as to what may lie behind that tendency?

@little turtle good post

Thank you to you and others on the AS IS bus who know how to be a friend and how to love and who know what support means (unlike some in this forest irl, too many )

Wise words, acceptance for all.

We all deserve help.
We all deserve kindness.
We all deserve to be understood.
We all deserve respect.
We all deserve to be loved.

I watched a news programme here in the UK yesterday,
A depression survivor, urged us to get help,
stating there is help out there for everyone.

She has not met us...
or heard our truth...

Mental health services do harm and no good!

I do not like it when people dismiss and invalidate My Truth
