Help I've never gotten any mental health support.

So guys I live in a place where mental heath isn't taken seriously, one time I tried to talk abt it to my mom and she said - 'what ? You r already mental at this age?' at that time I understood that they will never take me seriously....and so even as an adult I never reached out bcz even the doctors here are like that, I see many of u guys having therapists and using meds for anxiety and depression, I've never done any of it....I feel like I've reached out a point where I have learnt how to take care of myself and not panic too hard, I just know how to distract myself sometimes and how to be detached but there r times I mess and I don't know what to do, how do I control myself when I suddenly start overanalyzing and hating myself? it's so bad that I can't sleep at nights without my phone, I have to tire myself or just day dream to stop the hate.

I feel this all too well coming from a country where anything mental related is either autism or straight up crazy, any help is basically a variation of "just stop doing that".

Normal people can't understand how hard it is to be like them.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Self-hatred and feelings of worthlessness are devastating. Sometimes it helps me to look around at the world and realize how so many people are just garbage, then compare myself. I compare the things that matter: human decency, kindness, capacity for love, empathy. I realized I'm not so bad compared to half my country.

Is it possible to do telehealth therapy where you live? Do you have insurance or money to pay?

Ugh, I wish I was self independent....but no I don't have a job yet and I live with my parents even though I'm an adult ( u know a very typical asian family ), it's almost impossible to get any professional help....but it's fine, I'm planning to CTB this year, I strongly wish I succeed, I wanna leave this world ASAP.
