Yeah.
As much as it's trashed, the internet and social media have also been a big help in discovering that you're not alone and erasing stigma, and as someone who's isolated themselves as much as I have, finding information that's not someone telling me to just "man up and deal with it" is golden.

Read an article,
this isn't it
, where a psychiatrist was talking about how most of their patients had mentioned that there were many people worse off than them. Their patients
criticized themselves because others were worse off.
There are refugees coming in from Syria, there are staving children in Africa, there's hurt all over. The point of the article was to articulate that what's happening to you is important, and
your
health shouldn't be constrained by what others are suffering. You are important.
Will try to find article. Hrm.
