I have to agree, sympathetically, with Dee and trailmix. I have diagnosed anxiety and have also suffered from depression, and one of my biggest weaknesses is a penchant for isolation. Extremely so while drinking, and still a reflex that can pop up as I have some sobriety - and tools- under my belt.
I believe that mental illness, like alcoholism, is a disease. The "system" can be frustrating and I would definitely not want to experience "treatment" in prison, but those cannot be things I focus on - finding what I can do, starting with not drinking, is the only successful way I can manage my conditions best.
