cindisue,
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have been on anti -anxiety -depression meds for many years. They worked awhile, now my system is too used to them to help enough.
The mental health care for anyone without a loose thousand or two dollars is despicable in Canada. In truth there is no mental health care (psychs) available in my Province to me at all being kept poor with disabilities.
It is what the gov't wants -- less cost.
Mental suffering doesn't matter much here anymore. It just gets M.A.I.D.ed.
Mental is considered a very distant relative to physical health. Mental health sufferers essentially are seen as just a bunch of lazy, deluded hypochondriacs who could "get over it" if they wanted to in Canada.
That sounds mean, but truth is stranger than fiction.
The brain IS part of the body, an organ. Would a freaking-out heart be ignored. Appendix. GI tract. Yet the brain is the person's personal, own fault and concern for being "weak" to have a problem with it.
Man, sorry, can I rant or not?
Best 💚 of health, xpax
