To preface yes eat healthy, exercise and sleep well.
I have been thinking about this the last couple of days while suffering from insomnia.
For many of us the mental anguish has been caused by other people. With lack of support and being exposed to things too early in developmental years(as well as poisoned food and water) this anguish that could be processed into reflective thoughts to strengthen our minds has turned into mental illness.
Humans are social beings and the way others treat you can have a great impact.
If youre on this forum it most likely has been a net negative impact.
What I want to say is we cannot heal ourselves alone.
In the same way we were damaged we need to be rebuilt.
We need other people to help us with this.
People to talk to and be honest with us.
Alone your thoughts are an echo chamber.
Someone who will tell you to your face what youre saying is full of shit but will still listen to what you have to say.
Someone who you will listen to and learn about their life.
Now most people you meet in life are bluepilled cucks and this forum is full of like minded individuals so we could just stay here and talk about our problems huh?
No.
We werent evolved to feel a rush when we see a red box containing a digit next to a bell icon.
We evolved to read body cues, understand vocal tonality, to make eye contact and communicate with facial expressions. The warmth of sitting next to someone. Sharing food. The sound of laughter. This forum lacks all of that.
Its hard to find someone to talk to in person nowadays especially when you cannot relate to 99% of them. Therapy is always a doctor-patient relationship rather than equals.
Trust issues, the current state of society and the past experiences that hurt us in the first place will make this process terribly hard, but I think building connections with others in real life might be the only way for most of us to escape the despair.
Monk/hermit maxxing might work but its not a life that is appealing to many.

or maybe just get a dog idk

I know what you mean. Normal "nice" people smile at you and say what's wrong. Then put on a smiley face while you rant to them. At the end they say "I know it will get better for you."
Like you said, efficient therapy is from two people of equal standing. They are friends who are at a similar level to you in life and understands your capability. True friends may laugh or ridicule to trivialize your problem. In fact they should. The very act of trivializing the problem is their way of telling you that you are competent and you will solve this problem. There's no need for bullshit advice or pity.
