Believe me, I know how lucky I was. I spent 20 years getting to a place where I could acknowledge I needed therapy and also find therapy that was accessible for me. And nothing is more demoralizing than opening yourself up to a therapist that is straight up bad at their job. But it is 100% worth it if you can find a way past those obstacles. My greatest frustration with my mental health is that I wasn’t able to access the care I needed 20 years ago. And I’m way too aware of how fleeting that access can be, I have some friends that didn’t go to therapy for the usual reasons, lost insurance or coverage became too expensive, and now they can’t go to therapy even though they want to. My comment was more for anyone who has access and is on the fence about going.
