This is why therapy exists.

For rich people or born lucky health plan countries?

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Always love this. "Go to therapy!" Gonna pay for it? "...no"

Well back to suppressing my emotions again. There is no emotion, there is only peace...

Watch out, Jedi code didn't work too well for Anakin

Can relate.

Oh well as long as I don't run into sand I'm good.

I suspect the lava did more work than the sand, but oh well.

Same when Republicans say "it's not guns, it's mental health." Okay, you going to support universal mental healthcare then? "Shut up, commie."

And the most important: there are four lights.

What do you want people to say? Should we stop telling people to get broken bones set because they can't afford it?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, pretty much. It's just better not to put that emotional weight on people, if you can.

There's a lot more therapy services coming out, though! I wouldn't argue it's easily accessible, but it's getting there.

Is your user name a drug that chills you out before you die horribly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lmao. Bars just make me fall asleep. I was going for a palindrome similar to my irl nick-name, but I fucked it up.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Unless you were a cishet white dude, America has never been the place to be born lucky in

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Be born rich, and all other identity categories cease to matter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm that and no still wasn't even in the mid 80s. Add "ballin' as fuck at birth" to that criteria and were onto something.

Your therapist is not your friend, and using therapy only as a place to vent is a waste of their time and your money.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? They're there to talk. Are you thinking of a psychiatrist?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both therapists and a psychiatrists offer mental health care, therapists aren't just people to vent at (even if that is usually part of their job). Psychiatrists are medical doctors that can prescribe medication, however.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly, this is what I mean. Yea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This opinion is definitely not your friend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, therapists can help a lot more than just venting! And if you vent you'll probably run into some feelings a therapist can help you untangle. You're right, better to try it than not.
