I don't know if I'm going to sound rude, but something has been really getting to me. Mainly its my lack of ability to feel pleasure, making life feel almost unlivable. I just see the worst in everything. I need some advanced mental health/ brain care. But it turns out in this world if you have something wrong with your brain, you just need to get over it! I tried to see if I qualified for state healthcare and they said the only people over 18 that qualify are those with certain types of cancer. I got on facebook and I see a picture of someone with a sign saying they beat cancer. And so many people commented on how amazing and brave that person is. When I talk to people about my condition they tell me I just need to try harder when it comes to life. My dad was talking to his aunt about having he church raise money for my medical care, it turns out churches don't see my condition as legitimate. Maybe if it was cancer... but I just need to get over it. Most doctors and psychiatrists don't even see my problem as legit. I'm just delusional when I say that psychiatric meds destroyed my life. That I just need to shut up and take an antidepressant. Maybe if I had cancer id be seen as brave, but since its just something wrong with my brain, I'm just weak.
