[quote=Anonymous]If you find over the next months, 5 months, year you are still doing great, maintaining friendships, managing work stress, coping with life's bumps in healthy ways well then great. Not everyone needs therapy. Awesome!

The thing is the few people I know who go out of their way to bash therapy as opposed to just not getting it, but not needing to make some grand proclamation....are people who need it.

I have plenty of friends who never got therapy that i know of and are doing great. They have naturally good coping skills and I even learn by watching them.

I have a former friend who was an alcoholic who kept relapsing and she every time she dumped all her therapies, thought it was beneath her, hit rock bottom, ended up rehap rinse repeat. My sister refuses to stay on meds and stay in therapy. She thinks it's stupid and for weak losers. Then over time she gets fired or has some work blow up, another friendship or dating relationship explodes, etc, etc and my sister sinks into a deep depression where she is the victim and everything is everyone else's fault. When she no longer has anyone willing to listen to her rant, she gets therapy and meds again and functions well...until she repeats the cycle. What they all have in common is this strange need to bash getting help for mental health.[/quote]
