let that be your first goal

Why would I respect myself?

@Sir Harndes have you talked to a professional? Theres hotlines available for you to talk where someone will listen without judgement.

Yes I did

because your the only one of you their is

Im mentally ill since i was born

Like my father

thats fine but don't let that control your entire life

the mental illness isn't your whole personality

Mental illness does generally run in families. But that doesn't mean that you will have the same experience as your father.

Its not fine

Its a jail

A prison

@Sir Harndes mental illness is incredibly taxing.

I understand that

You cant control mental illness

You're born with it and you'll die with it

You are correct you cannot control mental illness but you can be aware of your symptoms and help manage them accordingly with awareness.

@Sir Harndes your mental health issues are obviously something that you deal with daily. Have you tried any kind of talk therapy with a professional?

I'm only asking because I'm being trained to become a psychologist and I've had training on suicide prevention. And this sure counts as a <#681048030597611530>. @Trash Squid @thedarkness05 and so many others have expressed to you our concern. We just want you to know that we are here

@jecc13 yeah, i go to therapy frequently

Not even she understands very well. Lost cause

@Sir Harndes well have you considered getting a different therapist, someone you trust more or who is more understanding?

Well maybe, idk

I kinda like her. She goes directly to the point unlike the last one

But she keeps saying the same things over and over again

Like "hey get a hobbie, It'll solve your problem"

Well it is your right to get a doctor you know is going to help you

I mean, she's a psychologist

And I don't feel comfortable of taking another kind of medication

Well medication is not the only solution

Exactly

Is she a cognitive behavioral therapist?

I think so

She pays attention to my behavior, and a lot

Things not even I realized I do

Well that is good

That's majorly important

Yeah, kind of

But I feel like she just scratches the surface

Tbh you guys help me the same way
