Just wanted to ask if anyone out there reading this has ever managed to have any form of permanent success, about getting over or living with their mental health problems?
No beating around the bush here, just is it actually possible yes or no, and if so how did you do it?
thanks in advance! - Have a good day, Frosteddonut9
I can manage my condition and profit from certain compensatory attributes such as some savant traits I was born with. Also occasional psychic experience which happened more in childhood.
However, the cold truth is I'm unemployable and destined to be single and solitary. I do have a small number of good friends now who accept me as I am. That is a more positive development. However, by the majority I'm viewed as strange, scary and somewhat threatening. I guess it's my lack of emotion. And the reason I'm unemployable is my extreme slowness of movement and reaction. My life was one of extreme suffering and even physical abuse. To have "managed" my psychological condition successfully I now see as a great achievement since the main thing is I accept myself. I also managed to face up to my former deep-seated anger and realise it needed to be confronted. I tell myself that at the end of the day I didn't end up drugged up in an institution as a social outcast. I ended up as a scientist - free from distractions and in control of my emotions. As to the Covid hysteria it won't affect me at all as I am now better equipped to confront anxiety.
