Thank you Vonnah

can you get medicaid?

in the us you can qualify for medicaid by making under a certain amount...if in the uk i think there is something called universal health care. Also you can do the following things:

-meditate

-reach out to family and freinds

-join support groups

Once you get support whether via a doctor, psychiatrist or therapist, or through family & friends, you can try medication, talk therapy, cognitive therapy, or a litany of other things.

one of the things that has helped me however, is being honest about my feelings, like, not trying to stuff them down, even if they are negative, even if they are positive and someone doesnt want to experience "positive me", i try not to stuff it down and be more realistic about situations. it removes some of the exhaustion of having to pretend i think.

Not what you're looking for?
