The Fear Of Therapy

[Edward Kiely]

I knew I had mental problems from a young age but I would never admit it to myself I was scared I started self-medicating after a very long stretch of homelessness and drug abuse The VA hospital finally reached out and offered me mental health treatment I knew at that point it was time for me to get real with myself and the doctors what a day that was when I opened up and told the doctors what I've been going through for all the years it took two appointments before the doctor made a diagnosis of chronic PTSD since that day I've been going through different PTSD treatment plans of groups and medications and have been having great success I feel very blessed today for finally coming clean and telling on myself so if anybody out there is carrying a problem and thinks they can handle it all by themselves reach out and ask for help it'll be the best Day of your life

@Edward Kiely , welcome to the forum. I hope you find what you are looking for here. This is a place of understanding where we all get to be who we are, where others understand and support each other. I'm glad your road to recovery seems to be going so well. :)

I wish you could talk to everyone who so badly could use the help but is so adamant about remaining in their denial. Good on you for taking that first vital step. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers along your journey to healing.
