There is a stigma on getting professional help. And sometimes when people say it, it comes off as condescending and insensitive. But these are your opinions on the matter, not theirs.
I have a friend who is a professional and I have to remind her that sometimes I want a friend, not a therapist. There is more than one way to work through a problem. And sometimes it requires a combination of treatments to find a balance. But succumbing to the belief that you cannot be saved does not make it true. What does being saved look like to you? I'm not asking what it looks like to someone else, but for you. What would make you come to terms with the person inside. If it is nothing, then you will get your wish. Do you know the roots of your thoughts?
