Thanks for supporting! =) You may aswell write a long answer of course. :) !PIZZA
I don't want to say I know what you are going through. But I want to say you are not alone.
Thanks for allowing me to share a little bit, I was afraid I would steal your topic.
Which brings me right on topic.
I was in psychiatric care as well, a few years back. Went into a burnout with a combination of perfectionism and self doubt. The latter part drove me crazy. All the while I was not too shy to point out all the meaningless mistakes others would make instead of focusing on what was really important. Mix in a little paranoia (everyone is just mean to me) combined with wrong upbringing (think about what others would say) and you got a complete mess of a person.
Long story short: You're definitely not alone. And opening up is the best way to deal with things.
Yet before I realized myself that I need help I was one of those who didn't really recognize those problems in others. I had to learn not to think of others as judging me but about empathy. And the more I researched these topics (as you said about suffering yourself and getting to know the subject) the more I realized: Everyone has with some degree such problems. Look closely at those who deny their existence. At those who say "don't be a baby". Most likely they could use some therapy as well, they are just not at the point to admit it to themselves. Probably many of them won't even reach that point. And that's a shame, they could gain so much more than they think they would lose.
Back to opening up: When you do so, suddenly people show up with similar history. Happened to me. And we started talking. About our problems and the (probable) solution. It helps. I was open at work about it (why was I gone for a year was a question that could not be avoided) and found such people. And we learned how to talk to each other to support each other in a way others would either never dare or know why it was the right way at that moment.
"Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid" got real for me at that point.
I am sad for everyone suffering similar. But also happy to know that I am not alone. Instead of feeling guilty for the latter part I hope that these others take as much from this sharing as I do.
That leaves the former last sentence:
Thank you!
You would not steal my topic. This is not my topic. It is just important to draw more attention to it in general. Therefore I appreciate you sharing your story alot!
First, I am sorry that you were going through this as well. All the points you mentioned I know very well myself, and I know it can be frustrating and very challenging.
I am happy that it seems you find a way to deal with it though!
Yes that is also true. Some people need more time to reach that point, some will never reach it. And it´s hard. Because it takes alot of strength and courage to admit to yourself, that you have "problems" or to dedicate time to work on yourself.
Yes opening up helps alot! People understand you better, people share their stories as well, people get more awareness and think about it before judging others. And people are suddenly there to support each other, like you said...
That´s why I think we need to talk about this topic more here on Hive.
So thanks for helping with that by sharing your story as well!
And thanks for showing me your support also! I appreciate it!

That is very altruistic of you, thank you.
Completely agree. It actually did do me some good, as well.
Back then it was not pleasant. But now I look at it as something I had to go through to become who I am now. I am glad I went through it and came out as I am now. So yeah, happy is the right term.
Right back at you and you are very welcome!
Yes you are right. All our experiences makes us to the person we are now. And sometimes we just HAVE to experience these things. I am happy for it as well.
I wish you all the best!!
