To the people who never had treatment... do you wonder if it would actually be good for you?

In my case, I'm not sure. I don't want to search for doctors and live on medication. But sometimes I do wonder if it would help me and if I'd be able to properly function. It's weird knowing I'll just ctb without never having had a diagnosis/any kind of treatment. At the same time I don't want to, I don't have energy/motivation and no one to help me.

Nope, I know it likely won't. I'm not mentally ill so there isn't really anything to address in that regard. Technically I have had some form of treatment before, but never as an adult. Most of my "treatment" or help came in the form of having to talk to social workers, a bit of counselling, and seeing a psychiatrist for a while before having to stop due to them being shit. If it didn't do shit for me as a child then I doubt it will do much for me as an adult.

When I was a kid I remember I was prescribed some sort of medication but can't even remember what it was. I just remember the feeling wasn't good: it just felt like really artificial state of contentment. Also i'm undiagnosed, don't even know how I got that prescribed lol

Then why not give it a try :-) ? Not trying to tell you what to do and I don't want to offend. But treatment can be effective in many cases. Ofc there are also people who are treatment resistant ( I unfortunately am). But ctb will always be an option. Maybe you could try sth else first and then, based on your experience, evaluate choose.

I have no energy and I'm 100% sure talking to a stranger about myself wouldn't help. I don't want to have medication either. So I can only think of ctb
