    I get what you’re saying but you know it doesn’t hurt to try things right? I tried lots of different things to help with my anxiety before I got somewhere with it.

      I never said it did, I’m just saying that that bar is a lot harder for some people to reach and it very obviously isn’t as simple as “fuck it”. Some people need outside intervention before they are able to get the help they need. And again, there’s the fact that all of the things that help cost enormous amounts of money or are completely unavailable. The original commenter makes it sound as if anyone can just go and get help as long as they themselves can gather the courage but that is simply untrue.

      Also, I’m not someone who can’t go out, I have a job that I attend daily and people I interact with regularly.

        I mean, I helped myself and that didn’t cost me a dime and I certainly never got much help from any therapists I actually paid.

        Like I said, people should just be more open to trying things.
