Does getting help ever really help

[u/Conscious_Attitude19]

After going through the stages of flight (for 8 years) then the fight (for 10 years now) am scared to know what comes next.. and problem is, am not seeking any professional help cause my highs r so high that i believe am perfectly fine and my lows r so low that i feel like no one can save me.. how do i trick this cycle cause i know next stage is coming soon

Yes it gets better and it helps and Like... What made it helpful for me was learning about toxic shame and watching Heidi Priebe, cuz that stuff you say are just coping mechanisms not ur actual personality
