Asking as I see more and more people talking about mental health issues, and curious to see if people could share their experiences.

    No. But I actually put it down to my therapist being a fucking idiot.

    Ive lived a wild life, Ive had guns and knives pulled on me regularly while I was bouncing, there was drugs, street racing, casual sex, severe alcoholism… and he kept wanting to talk about “the trauma” and never once listened to the fact that I actually miss that life.

    Its working a government job for the next 30 years to pay a mortgage on an overpriced suburban house so my daughter doesnt grow up next to crackheads that scares the shit out of me. When you’re pinballing from one insane crazy situation to another you dont have much time to dwell on your bullshit.
