i have no pdoc, therapist, meds, am not in treatment of any kind, gave up on british nhs mental health "treatment" years ago ... so i "cope" alone, good or bad ... just wondered if that makes me in the minority here?

There are a lot of people here who do not see a therapist or take prescription medicine. I am one (not by choice). You probably are in the minority though. If you are interested in alternatives to mainstream treatment, there is the Other Treatments forum.
Thanks for this!

I don't have a pdoc either, I am on medication which I am trying to cut back. other than that I do take my vitamins and try relaxation technics that I have learned over the years. I do wish I could afford counseling as I think that would help me. Oh well! Do what we got to do! Glad you are here minority or not!
Thanks for this!

I don't know about minority, but it is valued when everyone chooses the treatment path that is right for them. No matter what that might be, there is support and help along the way, especially here and are not alone. ((((((Carrie_ann))))))
