No help?

[Nobody]

I was just wondering... Do any of you believe it is possible to be cured by yourself alone? Without any professional help, any councelling or anything? Just make it completely on your own?
Because I've never actually been anywhere to get help. And I know that the way I am is not okay, I do realize something's really wrong with me. I can't tell you the name of the illness cos of course I've never even been diagnosed, so I can only guess from what I know about mental illnesses... some kind of depression, looks like bipolar disorder maybe and paranoia and... whatever... I don't feel like getting professional help. I feel like... I got myself into this fucked up condition so I'm supposed to get out of there by myself too...
So... do you think it's possible to get rid of mental illness without help? :confused:

by getting proffesional help, you are getting yourself out,
you're taking a huge step that not many can,
many get close to curing themselves, but you also need someone there to keep you on the right path.
probably is possible to make it seem to have gone away, but it'll always haunt you.
there's always a door open for you to get help, taking the step towards going through it, however much you probably feel like you shouldnt do it, or you don't deserve it, is the best way you can pull yourself out of the hole.
good luck hun :hug3:

Thank you =) That's pretty much what I've been thinking too.

Well, I kind of study psychology, hopefully will continue at university next year, so I have some idea what I'm supposed to do, but it's hard to - as you said Natalie - keep myself on the right path. So I guess, I'll just see how far I can get on my own and if it won't work, eventually I'll go see a therapist or get some help.
Uh, I'm just completely unable of talking about these things to anyone, so I hope I'll get far enough without help... we'll see...

Thanks again =)
