With no medication and therapy, is it possible to just snap out or grow out of it?

believesomething said:Maybe there's other versions of therapy on offer? I'm not sure what the options are in Hellywood itself , but some psychologists have been known to do phone consultations, and many government-based groups here also do home visits. Maybe these could be options? I'm not sure.

You'll be amazingly lucky to get any of the above come right to you without the finances to cover it. Psychologists aren't cheap and those who are not private won't even bother.
Remember that most psychologists and psychiatrists have the job in the first place for the money. You'll find that at least half of them don't do it for the right reasons other than personal gain and reputation. Sad to say but the ones who are given to people by their government are the worst you can really get and they like giving their job a number.

I'm sure there are lots of options. I mean, I can just go out and find a councellor. Easy. But what's holding me back is that I'm too much of a coward to do anything.
MadCat said:I'm not having a go at you, far far from that. If I was I'd have the whole forum ontop of me. I expect people to flame me for this or *disagree* but so be it.
