I Want to Try Therapy Because I Think I Don’t Need Therapy

Why everyone should try therapy

I can do everything on my own. I don’t need to get married. I don’t want to depend on anyone for my sustenance.

I thought that people got married to fill the deep void inside. And it can never be filled by things or a person. Only I, myself, can do that.

That’s the kind of thoughts that I harbored in my early and mid-20s.

Then a mental illness took me on a roller-coaster ride in my late 20s and I did a rethink about my life. I realized I would miss certain beautiful experiences of life if I didn’t get married (sharing Life).

So, I hesitantly agreed to get married and find a partner who will understand me and not put too many restrictions on me.

And I can attest to the fact that getting married was the best decision of my life. Mainly because of the kind of human being I received as a gift from God as my life partner.

Fast forward the story to the present moment when I am in my mid-30s.

I have read, heard, and seen that therapy will complement the medication I have been taking since the age of 27 in managing (not treating) my mental illness, which I will disclose openly sometime in the future.
