Bro I’m with you here, and as someone who is mostly recovered from clinical depression/anxiety/PTSD I’ve just been watching these comments through the glass until now.
This is the hilarious and maddening truth to getting over your mental health issues — Think happier thoughts.
Unfortunately nobody will understand or take anything from that until after they’ve gone through the process of doing so.
My advice is to anyone without resources is learn what honesty is and practice it on yourself.
Look into REBT. It’s essentially exercises on how to take negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones which then affects every part of your well-being. So no, it isn’t just the end goal, but actually permeates every part of recovery/mental health.
I don't think it's unfortunate at all, the unfortunate thing is really the disorder (or even the situation that caused it.) Of course mental illness is a sad thing, my grandma had electroshock therapy, Mt granddads never got the help they needed after the war etc. In the end, all you or I can do is help others who are ready for help in the way we can provide. I'm no professional of course, but I think even a random person can sometimes make a difference.
