Mental illness is not just ‘getting over it’…

It's not that easy. You can't "just get over it." Unfortunately, you have to work through it, Self-care, time, and compassion from others. Blessings to everyone on this channel 🙏❤

You don't get over it . They act like its just flip a light switch. Its not that easy or as fast.
Stop... being sick, stop having nightmares, stop.. stop.. its not that easy. If it was we would have done it already .

Been meditating for 9 years now & have relief from anxiety & depression. I must walk & hug trees too. Therapy helped immensely during a huge loss & i am very thankful. If i didn't have meditation & exercise practice, i would have surely needed Rx. If people need medication to get started, do it! I was prescribed antidepressant & anti anxiety in the past. I am thankful that i am living my best life now.

My father bullied me for my poor academic performance. I'm pretty sure I have an undiagnosed learning problem. Spent my high school years depressed and ignored with occasional verbal assaults on my "lack of character". I'm 65 and I still feel the impact of his words. It took me this long to see the reality of my childhood.

Not a lot of true help for trauma or trauma specialists so a lot end up dead. Honestly it's just time for me to give up. Fuck this world.

Stop being bipolar. Right now for your own sake. I had no idea it was worse than being a psychopath. I was diagnosed in my 60’s and instantly became a non person. No mania. No mood swings. Just anxiety, insomnia and depression. The people who faulted me for having “sensitivity” don’t do emotions. So I am negatively critiqued for loving babies and puppies and art and literature and interesting conversations. Even though I have never lost it” I will always be defective bc I am bipolar. Certainly I will never be respectable enough because I can’t kill my empathy like they did.
