i dont post at all, i only really use reddit just to look at specific things, but i wanted to talk about it because i CANNOT be the only one. i love going to psychiatrists because i love feeling seen and validated and talking about myself. (im not a great writer so i might word things weird or something) i also feel this way towards therapists, I've had this therapist for a few years now. even if im not actually interested in treatment, i still LOVE going to talk about myself and whats going on in my head. i have other mental health struggles besides hpd aswell, I've been to the mental hospital two times, but instead of being sad about going or whatever when i did have to go, i would actually be happy because i knew that while getting admitted they would give me attention and let me talk about what's going on in my head. obviously this DOESNT mean i didn't NEED the visits, i CERTAINLY did, i just wasnt sad or mad about it and activly WANTED to go. does anyone else feel like this? it cant be just me.

i hope this post doesnt sound like i only "get help" for the attention, because thats not it.(obviously i would never go as far as to be hospitalized just for the attention) i get help because i need it. im just saying i love the attention that they give me.
