Yeah, I became an inpatient at a private mental health hospital. I can't tell you how quickly I tried to convince myself I didn't belong there and how everyone had real problems and I'm not like them.
It was nice doing some group therapy to just see other people. There's something amazing about not needing to explain what you're going through and just having others know. It's not the same thing as others but yeah ... a mix of therapy and change of environment and antidepressants got me out.
We did share this video when I had a bit of my imposter syndrome in there: https://youtu.be/XiCrniLQGYc if you haven't seen it before I recommend it.
I really appreciate your insight and sharing your own personal experience. Thanks for the video, I like the analogy of the black dog. It helps to have an image of what you're up against.
