Struggling with some deep grief. My confession is that I have to start lying to people about how I am doing. None of the counsellors or family/friends have helped. They have done a good job of almost pushing me off the ledge. Counsellors look at their watch and kick you out when you clearly need help. Tell you to come back in two weeks. Most are not even listening and give legal and medical advice that is inaccurate and makes so sense. Majority have had no life experience. No one knows the truth but I am at the end of my rope. Going to likely move far away where no one can find me.

What is the difference between God and a doctor?

God doesn't think he's a doctor.

You are assuming the person is not helping themselves. To make it visual, imagine having been hit by a truck. All they are looking for is some professional assistance and advice with healing as you would a hospital if you are hurt. They are still taking care of themselves day to day. You are an idiot and should not post if you have no compassion.
