seems weird to me ,for shutting people out for their thoughts.Personaly ,don't think you can solve it all yourself. Words of wisdom n support comes from the strangest places. Got to keep an open mind. A good majority of being call it what you what? ,is to much time internalizing. The eyeballs need to get outside ,look people in the eye. Where all on this planet for a reason,struggling ,flipping out,loving our moments of joy.Relax n the world relaxes with you

How do you manage dozens of posts of indecipherable gibberish followed by amazing moments of surprisingly lucid, wise thoughts?
Is there a pill?

This is true, but you also need support. Sitting in a lonely room telling yourself you will be OK is not always enough.
Some of the hardest bastards Ive known have lost it over the tiniest of triggers.

I think what I said was taken out of context. I've never suggested support isn't helpful, you just need to fight your own battles and take accountability for your choices and actions. You need to pick yourself up after a crushing defeat, nobody is going to do that for you. It's empowering doing it on your own, you don't have to rely on others it's all on you.

Seems like you've never experienced mental health issues either personally or indirectly... One of the lucky few

You sound like you're going through a difficult period, I think you know what issues I am dealing with. If you think others have all the answers and will battle your demons for you, I have news for you. All most people care about is their own problems, we live in a sick society where kindness gets taken advantage of.

Sorry.... I don't know your issues, my memory isn't good... But yes I've been thru the wringer phisacally the last few years.
We may as well leave it as is and agree to disagree ✌️

I certainly hope you've never given anyone that horrible advice. If you have problems you're all on your own, you have to face your challenges alone, no one can or will help you, you must keep your troubles to yourself. It's the exact opposite of The advice you should give someone.

That's the attitude that sees so many young men kill themselves every year.

If you're down, having troubles, talk to someone you're comfortable with, a friend, family member, a counsellor, teacher, priest, psychologist. Help is out there and you don't have to face your demons Alone. With support you can get through anything. No one has to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders alone.
 
I felt attacked last night for having an opinion that is different to the norm. Oh well.


It's not that you shouldn't share your problems, just don't share them with the wrong people. You will quickly realise how many fake friends you have. Most people only care about themselves and will gossip about your problems instead of trying to support you. If you have a loving and supportive partner that is your rock then you've hit the lottery.
 
The biggest protective factor against severe mental illness and suicide is supportive and open connection with other people - family, friends and community.

Sorry you've had a bad experience with the mental health system @upthetigers. The system at the pointy end of things is broken. Many people do benefit however from seeking support.
