Not a Hospital.
I think most of us have some affliction or other. No single person has an exclusive patent on illness- mental or physical.
I struggle with a sense of hopelessness.
I feel like a failure most of the time. No need to panic- many people do, and I don't think I'm alone.
Far from it.
But it is never enough for me to need medical attention.
For myself? I prescribe writing. If you have read my blogs, you have my number.
This is my soul work, and my healing. In the absence of friends and family, it's a functional substitute.
I know why I feel these things, and I have faith that working my way out of it is the way to go. One day, who knows, I might be able to sustain friendships and a family of my own.
Some disorders, however, are much more serious.
I sent this comment to a person who is suffering, and I repost it for anyone who may also be suffering.
"This is a serious affliction. Someone with this kind of illness should be receiving specialised care. not fb likes. this is not a post about a sick puppy. I support your attempts to reach out...but i am not a Doctor. & I have tried to reach out to you many times, to no avail. I hope you find the help you need. I have similar issues which I blog about regularly...& I know how isolating it can be. so I feel for you. please get the help you need...proper help. FB is NOT a hospital."
