This is why therapy exists.

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 85 points 2 years ago

For rich people or born lucky health plan countries?

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 77 points 2 years ago

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

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

Can relate.

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

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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.

maybe apply for asylum in a better country I guess

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] match@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

kinda great that America is no longer the place to be born lucky in

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

never was color depending unless you go back maaaany centuries.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works -4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years 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.

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Exactly, this is what I mean. Yea.

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This opinion is definitely not your friend.

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years 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.
