People don't consider your sickness until you are on a bed showing symptoms.

Mental sickness is never considered.

There are ways to express mental sickness, but it often offends or screws up somebody or something, unfortunately

I 'lost' almost 3 years of my life because of it.

Take care, OP.

@phacus Totally agree, I 'waste' my last 3 years of my career by staying in a company for less than a year because I have trust issue. I decided to cut off unsupportive and negative people in my circle and slowly recovered. Almost one year since then and I feel so much better compared to years before.

Actually it isnt until u tell some1. I mean in most cases u cannot predict a mental sickness.

@stupidbot Working with cynical/unhappy people can be very dangerous. I think every dev has some trust issue in some ways, but never doubt yourself and your work.

@phacus Sadly, I raised in negative environment and the reason why I left a company for almost once a year is because what people did during my childhood. Even believing myself is hard because of low self esteem, let alone believe in others. I became cynical and I hate it.

@stupidbot We can always have a more positive outlook on life. I understand because we tend to filter the positives about it [life]

But don't give up!

@phacus Thank you for your kind words. Even after these years, I still have a doubt about myself . This is the kind of advice I'm looking for atm.

Important question: have you ever been to the shrink?

I checked the dates. It seems that the algo suggested me this topic not so long ago, and my reply was addressed to the OP. He directly mentioned being mentally ill. @rEaL-jAsE

Near every job I’ve ever had has ultimately ended because my mental health got so bad, and I get that they’re a business, and that sickness is costly, but the sheer resistance to providing assistance is staggering.

Stay strong, and I hope everything works out.

A symptom of mental illness is being in bed, I see an infinite loop.

Remember all illness need doctor confirmation, you can always get diagnosed.

And if the doctor says you are just being a little bitch, maybe you are.

@mundo03 that's false statement. Not having diagnosis, doesn't mean everything is good. Even having diagnosis stating you are healthy doesn't mean you are. It means that the doctor found nothing.
To provide you with vivid example in armia austro-hungarian army doctor diagnosed everything except lethal tuberculosis as minor digestive disorders and ordered enema for everone with health problems, fake or not.

Visit mental institution and ask how many patients have more than enough energy to stay out of bed, yet they are treated as ill.

@mt3o what I am saying is: go get checked.

If the doctor did not find anything,.go to a different on.

Getting checked is better than just complain no one understands and keep going to work and get worse.

Also, you mama is false statement.

@mundo03 sorry, you are so closed minded you don't understand, I'm afraid. I'll try to explain. Having depression or social anxiety is not something that's easily diagnosable, well, unless the one who is suffering knows what it is.
Focusing on the depression, there are a multiple kinds of it. Major, seasonal, caused by recent trauma, baby blues, manic depression, or even induced by other illnesses. For, let's say AIDS there is a nice and clear test, for most mental conditions - there are no tests. There are criteria in DSM but they are vague.
And finally, even having the diagnosis, doesn't mean that people around care about it. I'm talking about something that's easy to grasp, like depression, but there are mood disorders like bipolar, cyclothymia, which are harder to grasp for uneducated people like you. All kind of attention deficits, anxiety, autism spectrum, and people around, just like you, have no brightest idea on how living with those conditions looks like.

@mt3o listen here, those are incredible common and very easy to diagnose and incredibly easy to get help.

Stop telling people to not get help, go get help yourself.

There are so many people out there that never get help and think there is no way to be better, it is not about getting the diagnose or get people to understand, it is about knowing yourself, get better and live better.

What you are saying is just not true, go get help dude, seems you have some of that you are talking about

@mundo03 excuse me, when and where i wrote that people shouldn't reach for help and stay undiagnosed? Can you find ANY my comment or rant against visiting specialist? Check, please. I dare you. Check my rant&comment history.
