My Dark Night of the Soul

[Meerie]

The problem with shrinks is that most are trained only to make you "function" in society again, and that will often include giving you prescription meds, that have lots of harmful side effects.
I had what could be termed a "mental breakdown" at the age of 28 / 29 and going to the shrink only aggravated the problems I had, by their method of focusing on the negative only. Besides no one of them could relate to the metaphysical aspects and my paranormal experiences.
It took a long time but I finally pulled myself out of the mess and I am slowly learning to accept and validate myself. I guess the other posters have all given you valuable advice, listen to your self and choose what seems most beneficial to you.
I will include you in my prayers. Blessings to you!
