I am still healing. I am still in therapy and probably will be for the next few years.
If you've struggled with long term mental distress I urge you to find private therapy on income-based rates.
Even it means giving up drinking & takeaways to afford it
Invest in YOURSELF.
Turns out: after all the psychiatric evaluations, abuse & gaslighting from relatives & medical professionals, the destabilizing emotional breakdowns, the suicide attempts, the loss of almost every friendship...
All I needed was psychotherapy; someone to ~really listen to me.
If you're struggling right now, DON'T GIVE UP.
Things are never black and white.
It took 29 years of distress, many suicide attempts and finding a private not-for-profit organisation that offered psychotherapy at a reduced rate for me to properly start the process of healing.
I thought I needed friends to make me happy but all I really* need is a full time job and like 3-4 different types of therapy.
*not really.
Being isolated from people for years really sucks.
Having a job I hate sucks.
I am still not okay.
My God. How is it that as women in 2019 we’re not safe...and as gay women, even less so. This is why accepting #LGBTQ equality is crucial. Expression of identity isn’t ‘entertainment’...it’s human. https://t.co/hUV9lFpCB5
