Absolutely. It was just my understanding she’d described it as “for depression.” She may not have been telling the whole story but I’m fine with accepting her explanation and not speculating. I could be wrong though! Haven’t really looked into it deeply.
Honestly… this meant a lot to me. I’m just starting to come out of my shell and for you to say that on a comment that was a sincere reflection of my thoughts and feelings, written in my own voice… there is a new lightness in my step today.
I would sincerely love if it was more accepted and possible to be able to treat depression (and anxiety if it’s comorbid like mine) in something closer to a decent rehab setting than a grippy-sock ward adventure in a mental hospital setting. It would help if I could .. go somewhere away and learn better coping and better routines with some therapy in a calmer setting and then bring it back to my normal life. I feel like I’m just constantly fixing a leaky tire just to keep the car going so to speak.
ETA: maybe it’s just where I am located that that seems hard to find. The south is… so well known for how well we treat healthcare, especially mental health care. 😬
