I don& #39;t know if it& #39;s how I look, sound, act, dress, whatever...

but I& #39;ve gotten far, FAR more support from total strangers online than I& #39;ve EVER gotten from a psychotherapist https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Schädel" aria-label="Emoji: Schädel">

yes, I& #39;ve been on the merry-go-round of medications and evaluations

no, none of it really helped at all

so now I just cope, read psych resources for myself, and try to tell others what I know (hardest part)

also the only person willing to diagnose me with ptsd was another latina sooooooo...

there& #39;s that

if you have a good program or counselor that& #39;s working for you, keep doing that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌻" title="Sonnenblume" aria-label="Emoji: Sonnenblume">

but if you& #39;re just getting into therapy, please be aware that you may have to become your own best advocate, and that medical racism (or any -ism) can be an obstacle here too
