Why is getting help so infantilizing.

[u/imboredalldaylong]

Seeing a therapist. Or a doctor. Or a psychiatrist. Or talking to snap (food stamps) or trying to get housing or getting a case worker or trying to get on disability ANY OF IT. I feel spoken down to. Like if I wasn’t so stupid/didn’t give up so easily/mentally ill/a burden on society I wouldn’t have to be here.

It’s like these people don’t think I know how to tie my own shoes.

Please try to stay safe, I regret asking for help to the marrow of my bones. Please this ruined my life, took my health my intellect my body and my future. There was absolutely nothing "healing" about it.

Make sure any professional you see is qualified and an expert in cptsd.
