You are not crazy,
Nor deranged,
Neither ungrateful or the one to blame.
You are not the culprit, but instead the victim;
Of a chemical imbalance in your brain. Which makes the world difficult to thrive in
Or even to survive in.
And you do not have the solutions to this problem which is weighing you down, all the time.
There are barriers which will continue to make life challenging for you, unless
You take the leap and put your trust in a professional.
Who can provide multiple solutions.
Who can assist in lifting this shroud which envelops you in darkness and then they can lead you to a healthier more fulfilled life.
It is not easy to do that, to choose a path that seems so strange and unknown.
A path that society seems to detest and looks down upon but they do not know the facts. Their old, conventional and narrow-minded thoughts prevent them from seeing the truth.
They do not understand this path or your struggles.
Their words will not help you out of this misery, they can not make you feel better but the path to getting help can.
So it does not matter what they say, because at the end of the day you are the one who needs your mental peace back and you might even have to fight for it.
Therapy seems scary only if you do not have the right information about it. Do not listen to the myths and the fabricated stories that others tell you, because it is your medicine and you need it.
Learn and understand that it is merely talking with a “knowledgeable” person, who has the skills and experience to help. Who will listen to you when you need them to, and who will advise you when you ask them to, who will keep your secrets and be there for you.
Sometimes there are things in life we cannot deal with alone, that we cannot solve independently and maturity means understanding that and accepting it.
It means approaching the right professional for any field you need help in.
If you are sick, visit the doctor.
If your car is not functioning properly, a mechanic can help you.
Different problems will lead you to different helpers and a problem related to your mental health should lead you to a therapist because they are the experts in this field.
You must fully accept that therapy will not taint you, and it will not put a mark on you nor blacklist you.
It will not isolate you from the world.
It will just heal you.
