anyone else avoiding going to a psychiatrist or a psychologist? Anonymous 318828[Reply]

i want to or more so i feel like i need to go, but i hate the idea of having to pay for someone to listen to me and understand me. nobody in my life wants to hear out my problems and it sickens me because thats the first thing i would do for them. i know therapy is more than that, but ultimately i would only go just to be heard for a little and be understood without anyone judging me. but it feels so not worth it. i dont even have a job why should i spend so much money just to talk to someone for an hour. isnt that what friends are for…

I dont trust psychiatrists/therapists at all. Unless someone has schizophrenia or something I feel therapy is largely unnecessary and self indulgent

Anonymous 331962

I have been going for a year but I think I need a break. It feels like another task now and I feel like I say things to get kudos and praise even if it’s not true. I hate being a people pleaser.

Because feral horses are an invasive species that shit up public land but they're also incredibly romanticized. You can even see it in the language used in the article. The horses on public land are feral (just like stray cats and dogs, pigs in the south, etc.) and not wild, and The BLM is not in charge of "protecting wild horses", they're in charge of MANAGING feral horse populations, and that includes removal and culling. The same people who will scream until they're blue in the face about the shitty practices and land management of cattle ranching and who want to get rid of every other invasive species will also scream until they're blue in the face about how the precious wild horsies need to be protected.

This also isn't anything new. The federal government has been capturing, selling and culling them for 55 years now.

Do you guys believe the theory that her husband pressured her into having kids or raped her and that's why she went insane? I don't really but I know a lot of people who defend her say this

Anonymous 332642

>>332638
I haven’t heard anything that indicates that.
What I did hear is she kept working night shifts while trying to take care of the kids, and if she has bipolar that’s very dangerous and could have potentially provoked an episode. (Or deteriorated her mental health further)

Anonymous 332644

>>332538
She was in the prodromal phase where she started to lose it but wasn't all the way gone. That's when you start to lose your mind so she probably started planning their murders then but still knew better than to go through with it. She basically wasn't in control of her own actions, this is part of why I believe she should be free and at most put in mandatory therapy or given meds. The system failed her

Anonymous 332645

>>332644
The system has failed a lot of us. Most of us have mental health issues at this point. Shockingly most of us do not commit murder.
>>332642
That's even worse. Her moid was well off. I have sympathy for all the mothers stuck with kids who still have to work but when you get the chance to be a stay at home parent and choose not to? You had the choice.

Can people please stop looking for reasons to defend murder. It just makes us all look bad. Not sure if any of you have checked but there's a bunch of conservative moids in charge right now who would really like to throw away our rights.

Chasing an idealic aesthetic or accepting the comforting embrace of mediocrity Anonymous 332646[Reply]

Do you think it's better to be bombarded with unrealistic aesthetics or telling ourselves it's okay to be a failure?

I feel like both ways are just lying to tell an unhealthy person (EDs or obese) that they're doing well. Growing up with everyone wanting to be skinny felt suffocating but I also feel uneasy about losing that goal. If I don't have an ideal aesthetic to strive for, how do I improve myself? Telling myself I'm fine feels like accepting mediocrity without any directions on where to go next. When I see pinterest trying to purposefully put plus-sized women at the top of my feed I feel like I'm being patronized and being told it's okay to be chubby when I know real life isn't like that.
I went from average height and stocky in middle school to under 50kg slightly short. This is the dream body I wanted but now it feels like I just got indoctrinated into becoming dependant on this 'dream'. I do get stressed about how much I eat but I don't think I can live without this stress.
How do you nonas find meaning and goals in life without holding on to this? Do you focus on your hobbies instead? What if I don't like my hobbies enough to take it any further?

Is anybody else having an awful time with their veggies this summer? My peppers dropped all their flowers. I only got 2 puny peppers in the last two months its madness. Yes I water regularly and fertilize high phosphorus blend. Last year I had so many peppers i didn't know what to do with them all. (Is it possibly because i overwintered them?)

Or is it really because of El Nino? We got a lot of rain and its actually been a pretty tolerable summer. I'm in zone 9a. I just dont get it.

If someone cares, and loves you, it's something that's better seen and shown then said.

how do I cope with the fact that my dad will never love me as much as he loves my older brother, simply because he is male? he has never acknowledged my professional archivements but celebrate anything my brother does, i thought i was over it but today my dad gave me a face of disgust when i told him i might be pregnant. I mean im probably not pregnant but the way he looked at me hurt me so deeply, it was pure disgust.

I started writing a message to congratulate you on the pregnancy but now I have to erase everything 😭
I don't really know what to tell you, his reaction is weird on many levels. Doesn't he want grand kids ? I was about to tell you that some people love their children differently, but once again that was before reading your post until the end.
I really can't explain that reaction. Maybe he hates the father ? I'm just trying to think of any excuse beside "unsensitive psycho", this is concerning

In any case it's really important for you to surround yourself with supportive, non-toxic people. Look in your in-laws, friends or colleagues (not a big fan of the latter but hey)

When you grow up where I grew up, you learn to defend yourself. It's scary to admit, but yes, I've had to ward off any would be sexual assaulters and it's in the shaky aftermath of times like those where I appreciate all the time and effort I've put into my self-defense preparations.

You see, I have this anti-sodomy device that I "wear" at all times, especially in the city. It's a telescoping steel cylinder with a silicone "faux-sphincter", and an inviting one at that. The idea is simple. When I'm accosted by a particularly ravenous sort, I pre-emptively pull down my trousers (or simply unzip the butt flap as is the case on Saturday nights) and present myself to them. This is to "cut to the chase", so to speak, and avoid any punches or cross chops to my face. In the dim light of the city night, that "faux-sphincter" looks just like a real one, and an inviting one at that.

Here's where my training pays off. There's a brief moment of discomfort as the sexual assaulter, or I guess you can call them a rapist, ram jams their beefy beef into my anti-sodomy device. The telescoping steel cylinder is driven back, forcefully, acting as a firing pin, until it collides with an explosive charge very much like a shotgun shell. That silicone "faux-sphincter" becomes the projectile, and with the amount of zesto peppo I pack in my shotgun ass, that rapist's dick is blown clean off, often resulting in enough blood loss to kill them as a dick wound like that is almost always impossible for even skilled surgeons to close up properly (I've seen them try).

The only penetration I truly suffer is that of a hot, smoking gun barrel, and I rather like that feeling if that's not too deviant to admit.
