Writing is not a cop out - infact, i think writing down how you're feeling and handing it to a professional is one of the most bravest things anyone can ever do when they're mentally unstable. Hell, i've been ill for over 2 1/2 years and i've only recently given my GP (who i've been seeing for a year and a half and work closely with - he's part of my care plan) my first ever letter, he told me how helpful it was and that i was brave for doing it and it made him understand how much i was struggling.
Writing is easier as i feel when you write you don't necessarily have to *think*, it just flows so much easier, whereas with therapy you always have to think about how to word things and how to answer questions - it's very difficult.
You aren't mad - you're simply struggling, and although i don't know your personal situation i can see you're doing your best to keep yourself afloat andfor that you should be applauded - and you should be proud of yourself.
Take care, PM me anytime
