I’ve struggled with mental illness my entire life, used opiates, alcohol to numb it. I used to not eat and would pass out at school, somethings in your childhood don’t go away so easily, been misdiagnosed by a lot of mental health providers, I’ve lost days, and years from my memory, I know the struggle all to well.
Systems broken, people shouldn’t have to struggle to get help.
Wish it was a lot easier to get help, when I first went and sought treatment for opiates, I was actually turned away more times than I can count, because beds were full, they didn’t take insurance, so on and so forth.
