I'm a human being. That's who I am. I am not bound by any medical opinion of me, as nothing's ever been enforced on me in that way. I am my own person. I work on my feelings, I take a medication. That's what I do, that's how I manage, how I go out to work, how I venture more out into life. I accept my feelings got crushed in various ways from very early on. I know that this resulted in deep lasting depression that I am working damn hard to understand and untangle.
Sometimes people are that unsafe that they need a place of safety, whether that be staying with a friend/family, being in hospital, being in a therapeutic community of whatever persuasion. It's all relative.
It sounds like the system has hurt you a lot?
