Which is worse: not knowing you are sick and moving along, or knowing full well somethings wrong and not seeking treatment, or even getting treatment and it's not of any help?

Getting treatment and not getting help for whatever reason, IMO. In mental health land...if you don't know are you really sick? That's rhetorical and a joke. I know what you mean

I would say getting treatment then finding out it hasn't been of any help. It took a lot for me to consider seeking out help again when I needed it, mainly because I had little faith there would be a difference. And I thought it showed more proof somehow that I'd failed at something, so I thought why bother. But I'm glad I was wrong and did have a better experience the last time.

I think knowing something is wrong and deciding to do nothing, no matter what sort of hell you put those around you in has to be the worst case scenario. There is a selfishness to this that bothers me. Not even trying can seem so hopeless...for everyone.
(can you tell I am dealing with diagnosed/untreated by choice ADD/OCD? My H. Very damaging) If I can get help for myself & be a better person to those around me, I would do it without question. At least I would know I am trying.

Had it been there, everyone else knowing there's something wrong, refusing to admit there is something wrong and then of course, refusing treatment...however...
Out of those three, knowing there is something wrong, but refusing to seek any type of help to overcome it, would be my first; although knowing something is wrong, and nothing is helping, that's right up there... |

How about knowing something's wrong, having them tell you it's one thing and drugging you up only to find out that wasn't the solution after all?

I have a mentally ill sibling who says, "Everyone ELSE needs help, NOT me." I think that is worse than knowing you need help... if you know you need help you may eventually seek it, but not realizing you need treatment when you do can turn the world against you and leave you acting like one huge martyr (as my sibling does). Everyone else around the person suffers.... and nobody can convince him/her that HE/SHE IS the problem.

Yes, I was misdiagnosed for years, medicines drugging me up, and not knowing what was wrong, yet trying to get help. If you have a broken leg, the doctors can fix you, if you have a broken mind...

For me, since I have spent time in the denial, the refusal, and the getting help phases-- I would say the worst for me was really going all in on therapy and not being helped and even hurt. Personally that was by far the worst.

Comparison never got me anywhere good. Decide where you're at and take action accordingly!
