I finally sought mental health care

[itsmeJonB]

I never doubted that I needed to assess my mental health but it took a lot for me to finally do it.
Healthcare in the US is such a pain to deal with sometimes that I put it off for quite some time.
I'm very lucky that I have good health insurance through work and the internet has made it easier to find a doctor for online treatment when everyone is your area doesn't take new patients.

I was scared, but I started medication today and I look forward to when it kicks in in a few weeks and I hope it makes the next chapter of my life a bit clearer.

I am happy for you to face your illness. Most people here in my count are not up to facing and accepting their true mental condition. They're scared of what society will call them and fear that it will create a stigma on them and their family.

It's definitely a factor that probably caused me to wait so long too

Recognizing the need to analyze one's mental health and taking the required measures toward seeking suitable therapy takes fortitude. It's sad that healthcare may be a barrier for some people, but it's encouraging that you were able to find a doctor and obtain treatment, including medicine. It is critical to remember that getting treatment for mental health is a show of strength, and that there is no shame in caring for oneself. I wish you the best of luck on your path to mental health.
