Former DILF posted:helps whom? is misery to cease when I am sated? will the world turn less cruelly when I want for little and settle for less still? Can't answer for you. Everyone's outcome is different. But it's pretty obvious that you're in some pain and are tryin to reach out in this thread. I can point it out and tell you to go get yourself some help. But only you can take the next step. Open a new tab and just type in "therapists in [your area code]" and then maybe give one of them who looks good a call tomorrow?

I still believe there's more to gain from the inviolability of never having needed therapy than from what you can attain with it. I personally can detect this stain even when the therapized does not reveal themselves as having been recipients thereof. There's a kind of therapy rhetoric that's just as easily discerned as that of Dittoheads and trump-radicalized pseudofascists. It's another facet in people that can be exploited.

You're either trolling or telling people not to get therapy, neither of which belongs in this thread. Please stop.

The woman she sent me to was into cranial sacro therapy and claimed to immediately know I was having leg issues which is awfully odd since the conversation about rls is what led to the recommendation Vet your therapists and remember you're not married to them, you can get a new one if you want

Honestly there's a special place in hell reserved for bad therapists they're exascerbating the problem at best and preying upon the super vulnerable at worst

One therapist wanted to send me to some scam out patient rehab that she coincidentally owned. From my experience any rehab that is 100% out patient is just a monetized version of a AA

therapist horror stories: well i've always had decent therapists, but my psychiatrists are fuckin nuts first was the coptic christian guy from egypt who told me i wasnt actually depressed and that i just needed to get laid. "cmon you're pretty good looking, i bet you just need a partner and you'll be fine" it was then i pointed out to him my uh complaints and the fact that i was being seen to treat PTSD from sexual assault. He tried to convert me to christianity 3 different times as well. "just say this prayer with me" then there was the evil chud physichiatrist who wrote a book psycho-analyzing Barack Obama from her point of view and tried to sell it to me during a session. She also called me a pussy several times for being unable to fully cope with my ptsd.

My first guy told me that my rage issues could be cleared up by joining an MMA gym and punching people. Seeing as one of my problems was, "I can't stand the violence that I've done" that might have been an early sign that our therapeutic relationship wasn't going to fly.

I was shopping around for a new therapist since my current one (who I adore) has a problem fitting me into her schedule and tried a private practice nearby within the first 5 minutes she told me how much suicide makes her angry I want you to keep in mind this is after I gave her the background on my attempt

i'm gonna be straight with you cspam, I don't think it's psychologically healthy to constantly consume information about and read the words of people you hate I also don't think it's good to be convinced you're in the bad timeline or the hell world or actual hell, I just don't think that's a way to keep yourself sane One of my therapists growing up was convinced I didn't have any friends because I deliberately did things to not fit in, and tried to get me to read books about Christianity, even though I told him I was an atheist. He also had a hard time dealing with my stance of not standing for the pledge

Yeah, I was involuntarily committed to a county one for two weeks and was surprised that is was pretty decent. This is obviously anecdotal but all the staff actually cared and wanted to help. They also really helped finding resources for me once I got out.

contrary to what goons think, "get therapy" is not a silver bullet for every emotional problem one might come across. you're only going to get out of it as much as you put in what has helped immensely for me is not using twitter and not reading my facebook newsfeed. i only use fb for jokes, shitposts, and sharing dog pics. the people who use fb the most just post stuff that makes them angry and end up spreading the rage virus further. i don't need that in my life. i know what i like and don't like, i'm aware of the news, and my opinions line up with those friends anyway. do your own thing online, being yourself is empowering and it feels good instagram helps me relax too, seeing as i mostly follow dog accounts

the ward i was in was part of a university hospital, it had a gym, menus for every meal (+plus after hours cold meals) several tv rooms, lots of groups during the day to stay busy, and everyone is extremely nice and helpful. if you need a pen or a plastic knife, they are happy to help e: i had no insurance. its probably only a matter of location at that point.

They might say "hey... don't do that anymore, see how you feel then"

The job of therapy is to help you process things in a safe environment and give you coping mechanisms and strategies for day to day life. At no point should there be a "doctor it hurts when I do this" moment. Chokes McGee has issued a correction as of 05:30 on Feb 11, 2019 |

Also if you tell a therapist you don't know how you can live in this world anymore that is a five alarm fire and they should never reply with "well stop reading the news" or they should literally be sued into oblivion for malpractice

I got real into Twitter shitposting a while back. I was as stable as I've ever been at that point and it really hosed with me. I realized every time I checked Twitter I'd start grinding my teeth and getting real stressed. Social media is designed to drive you insane

Always Quit Social Media Platforms and a huge part of the therapy thing is that it mostly sucks, that's one of the things the real depression cognoscenti understand. mentally well smooth-brains are the ones who think therapists are magic oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 06:02 on Feb 11, 2019 |

At no point should there be a "doctor it hurts when I do this" moment. Yes, I apologize, that was a flippant comment in a thread that's specifically not supposed to be like that. I do think it can be very psychologically healthy to step back, especially from social media platforms that are designed to make you "engage" even if that's you being very angry and sad all the time. Facebook tries to get me to come back by reminding me that my racist uncle who's the reason I left is posting, because I kept arguing with him. Everyone knows how all this poo poo works by now, but in the era of Trump twitter it's important to keep in mind that as far as companies are concerned, laboriously explaining to your uncle's racist friends about how asylum works is just as pleasurable an experience as trading cooking tips with your friends in other countries.
