What's the connection?

if you have a therapist, you shouldnt be on the internet

They're supposed to listen to your issues and help you make sense of them, suggest some kind of change in behavior or habits that would be beneficial to alleviating your problems, and if all else fails, work with you and a psychiatrist to find a medication that allows you to make those changes should you find yourself unable to do so otherwise.

What most of the advice really boils down to though is "YOU have to make the change, this won't get better on its own." Which, you'd think is common sense, and it is, but a mind addled by depression, anxiety or what have you is pretty much incapable of both coming to that conclusion, and knowing what to do after coming to it. Unfortunately, regarding the second part, the therapist likely can't help with that either, because they're not with you all day. They don't see your home life, or your work life, or how it all affects you. There's only so much you can spout in an hour long session, and even if you have all the time in the day to describe in great detail what's wrong, the therapist has seen 15 other people this week alone with similarly detailed problems. Plus, they have a different outlook on life. While losing a family pet may devastate you, the therapist might think it's more like losing a pencil. Whether that's because they're horrible therapists or have just been jaded by years of listening to the same problems, that's up to you to theorize.

The fact is, it's really just therapeutic heh, pun to have someone listen to you while you bitch. They can rarely actually help. The people you see espousing their success with a therapist are frankly the minority, most people just... stop. Maybe it's because they can't afford it anymore, or maybe it's because they realize it's not helping. But they stop, and they just don't improve, and the therapist moves onto the next patient and likely forgets you exist within a week.

But user, I'll just tell people to censor themselves instead so they don't trigger me. Surely it's their fault and not mine that I can't handle certain aspects of reality

They're specialists in saying what you want to hear while also trying to steer you in a normalfaggied direction.

Only psychiatrists can prescribe drugs, therapists can't

lol, guess the attention whoring they indulge in regularly is not enough for their ego.

Anyone old enough to see a therapist playing a child's game definitely needs one.

Animal Crossing isn't stressful, so failures in life cling on to it. It should probably not be a surprise that an over 18 fan of AC probably sees a therapist.

none, is just people treating AC like some sort of escapism

YOOOOOOOO
HOW HE DO THAT??!!?!?!?

Imagine paying someone to talk to them

WTF is this real?

Lots of businesses and institutions exist solely because people don't have family to fall back on, like driving schools, lenders and renting.

I fucking hate this fawx pro-mental health world we live now.

Yooooooo what the fuck?

Wtfffff!?

>Maybe it's because they can't afford it anymore, or maybe it's because they realize it's not helping. But they stop, and they just don't improve
I'm kind of at the point where I'm thinking about stopping therapy, but I have seen significant improvement. However my issues stem from autism (I wasn't diagnosed until last year, when I was 34) and associated disorders like OCD, depression and anxiety. What really helped was finally taking her suggestion to see a psychiatrist to get some medication. I take a minimal dose of Prozac and it has drastically improved my life with no side effects besides slightly more frequent headaches. Even my therapist seems to think it might be a good idea to wrap things up soon, as my sessions mostly consist of, "Everything is going great," now.

WHERE DO I GET A CAT LIKE THAT??

They rape, it's in the goddamn name, man.

No, it's people seriously losing their minds over some people in Animal Crossing having better/more complete islands than them because they've played it before and know the ins and outs while the fragile little fags are butthurt the game requires effort to unlock cool shit and it isn't handed to them on a silver platter.
I wish I was making this shit up.

Yeah I think their issues might run deeper than just "who's better at animal crossing" if they get this upset about it but whatever.

Well yeah self-actualization turns out to be pretty hard and as a species we're designed to never be too happy or satisfied. Life is just one big cope anyway so all you can do and all they can really steer you towards is being okay with what you have control over through the ups and downs.

At the very least it's probably better for you to talk with someone who pretends to listen then to desocialize yourself on 4channel.

If you're "fixed" then why keep going? Just return if you fall back into the hole. Although be sure to green light this with your therapist.

>If you're "fixed" then why keep going?
Just haven't stopped yet, all of this is fairly recent. I've only been on the Prozac for about three months.

you underestimate how important it is to have someone to talk to, especially someone who knows how our brains work

Well I'm glad you're in good mental health now, be sure to maintain it like a garden.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

Thanks user! I was really doing well up until Spring of last year. Seems like my anxiety can turn into depression, and I had several things happen with work that caused me to get wound up over a period of weeks and afterwards I just slid into a completely nonfunctional depression. I pulled myself out of it, and got onto a better track, but I also wanted to make sure it didn't happen again. The Prozac has made all of the difference, I'm not so moody or prone to dwelling on things for extended periods of time.

>tfw literally stopped experiencing emotions years ago
>began trying anything I could to fix it
>everyone says to go to a therapist even though it would obviously do jack shit by nature of what a therapist actually does
The general understanding of mental health in the world is so poor it's almost kind of sad

>AC fans are literally mentally ill
Huh, I would never have guessed!

Therapists dont prescribe drugs, dingus.

Wait is that real?

>he doesn't save fucked up shit any chance he gets
back to red

whats it like not having emotions
I remember on twitter not too long ago people were talking about they literally have no imagination. I was like wtf

Imagine being such a chad that you can both pay for therapy and you feel like you're worth getting it for

Fucking IDIOTS........................................................... it's not real

lmao he must do that dance all the time for his cat to learn it

>that one post that someone screencapped where people can't even imagine an apple, or even a poorly drawn picture of an apple
i laughed, and then i cried

Nintendo fags are legitimately insane.
Particularly Animal Crossing and Zelda.
I don't know why these games attract so many nutjobs but they do.

nice post user very funny

To say I have zero emotions would be misleading - it's more like they happen, but they're so incredibly numbed that they have no effect on my overall state of being. Like, when a normal person experiences anger their entire body reacts with a state of anger, and it feels totally different from just being normal. For me, my state of being has been homeostasis for at least five years. Even if I cry, there's a faint impression of sadness in my head, but I don't feel anything abstract or powerful that is the emotion of sadness.

In short, it's been like this for years now, and I'm just hoping one day things go back to normal so I can experience life again.

it's been this way for 6-7 years. i don't think it gets better.

>he voluntarily saves diaper porn because it popped up in a thread
For what purpose. Shitposting does not seem like a good enough reason.

How do adults even do this?
How do they get money for this?
How can their families be ok with this?

dont, they usually are riddled with stds

I feel with all the mentally ill zoomers running around now I should've specialized into psychiatry instead of internal medicine.
