As someone with PTSD who also really relates to this post, I really hope the people in this thread who are struggling are able to seek therapy and/or medication. Doing the two in conjunction has helped me so much. Please don’t feel like it’s too much trouble or not worth fussing over if it’s something you’re struggling with. You may have to try a few therapists/a few medications, which can be disheartening, but you don’t know what’s going to work until you try it.
Having 3 kids in the way should never be a reason to noy be able to get help. It shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be something anyone who needs can just get.
I’m lucky enough to live in a county where that’s the reality, no matter how much money you have, help is available. I feel bad for people who don’t have it likes this and I really hope it could be like this for everyone. Having to pay your ass out for help when you’re physically hurt is alredy fucked up, and having to pay for help when your mentally hurt/vulnerable is honestly much worse. Even here where it’s practically fee, it can still take a lot to eat your courage and seek help.
I’m unfortunately not in a situation where I can directly help anyone in a situation like that but god I hope you and everyone else can get the rights to get the fucking help you/they need whatever that help is.
Mental and physical we’ll bring shouldn’t be a fucking privilege, it should just be available to everyone. People often say this and that isn’t a given ir shouldn’t be, but if anything should this is exactly the dman thing that should be a given.
Sorru for any bad language, I’m a bit drunk and honestly feeling quite mad about this horrible shit people have to live with for no good reason.
Believe me, I know how lucky I was. I spent 20 years getting to a place where I could acknowledge I needed therapy and also find therapy that was accessible for me. And nothing is more demoralizing than opening yourself up to a therapist that is straight up bad at their job. But it is 100% worth it if you can find a way past those obstacles. My greatest frustration with my mental health is that I wasn’t able to access the care I needed 20 years ago. And I’m way too aware of how fleeting that access can be, I have some friends that didn’t go to therapy for the usual reasons, lost insurance or coverage became too expensive, and now they can’t go to therapy even though they want to. My comment was more for anyone who has access and is on the fence about going.

Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.
