    Sad part is that after years off information and fundings for mental health ( for children ) it is still not seen by some as a problem. And than you get 18+ ( not child ) and somehow now you have to ‘man up’ ‘be harder’ or ‘yust laugh a bit more’.

    And don’t forget the partner/familie. A depression also is a weight on their life.

      oh man. “Just laugh a bit more” is abhorrent. WTF. WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT? FWIW, I laugh sometimes, but i’m just hiding my pain. if i laugh more, i will be cured of all this shit? SOMEONE GET THE DOCTORS, AUTIENESS AND ADHD CAN BE CURED BY LAUGHING MORE!

      Sorry, didn’t mean to go off at you. it wasn’t directed at you, but at your example. No ill will towards you :)

      I get stress induced hives, and my old doctor’s advice was, “just don’t be stressed”.
      Thanks for not helping, I guess.

          Somewhat, though I most definitely did get a new doctor. Thank you for the concern.

          I managed to get appointments with the psychiatry teams, however essentially it boiled down to it being difficult to help with CPTSD as a whole, individual aspects must be considered when each trauma differs greatly in subject matter.
          So one therapy at a time. For a long time. It’s not what I wanted to hear, yet it is what I needed. I’ve been taking steps to improve my mental health in great ways, and my current doctor’s practice has been rather supportive.

          It’s funny, my new doctors is only about 10 minutes further than my old one. Has been worth the change.
