A lot of people told me to go see a psy. Have you went to therapy, if yes why ? Does it help and would you recomend ? if no why ? do you think its useless ? or dangerous ?For me positive : -maybe it will help me a little-they will maybe give me pills so i feel betternegative : -humiliation-prob useless-they might send me to psych yard if i say i want to hurt myself- if people around me know it im done
>>34527804therapists have nothing to do with pills I have no idea where you got that fromyou don't have to tell other people you're goingThey're not interested in committing you if you don't you're not imminently planning suicide in the next day or three
>>34527804if we're talking about psychology not Psychiatry just look at therapist that they psychodynamic therapy, which is just talking about your emotions and thoughts and the relationships or lack thereof in your life. It's good stuff. It takes a while to work. It's not just the cash-grab therapy like CBT
>>34527811my voice to text is fucked. I meant to say look up therapists that do psychodynamic therapy
>>34527808I was talking about antidepressants pills also im still young and im scared that they would let my family know
>>34527804Most therapists are retards and usefulness of therapy is directly tied to their competence, your willingness to improve, their understanding of what you're going through and their willingness to actually helpSo there are at least 4 things that need to align for the therapy to work which is why it often doesn't, especially considering that most therapists are either HR girlies or redditards with god complex who either don't want to help you recover (bad for business) or genuinelly aren't good enough to offer anything more than a summary of wikipedia page for CBT/schema therapyYour best bet is to start your own recovery journey through strong introspection, journaling and learning (chatGPT can unironically be useful here if you use it as a journal/web search combo) while actively looking for a therapists who is competent, has been through similar shit you are facing now, actually likes you and is open minded to your perspective while challenging your delusions and cognitive distortions as an outsider to your life with a bit less biased perspective
>>34527815then why not actual therapy? pills are a cheap passare you from a brown country or something? and professionals are legally prohibited from disclosing anything to your family unless you're 15 or something >>34527904>chatgptabsolutely not, therapy requires a physical human being
They can only help you if you are a very simple person. I went to therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, probably at least 20 different mental health workers over my lifetime and not a single person could help me. At best they just didn't know what to do and fed me platitudes at worst they actually gaslit me, tattled on me, mocked me, and shamed me. I'm talking about going to a therapist at 10 who mocked me for being a spoiled little girl when I was suicidal from finding my dead sibling. A psych at 16 told my mom he thought I was a lesbian and autistic (never discussed either of those things with him). Other therapists just took my family's money and strung me along with no help telling me I was a perfectionist and everything was in my head despite my life being an actual series of unfortunate events
>>34527909I'm guessing you're american and only scanned the text, seeing "chatGPT" and assumed from the context that I said you should use chatGPT as a replacement for a human therapist
>>34528143Not him but YWNBA
>>34527804It is fake and gay
>>34527804Psychologists yesPsychiatrists no (they don't give a shit about your problems and just give you pills forever)
>>34528146Yeah you're really showing the world who's boss by being illiterateThis is what I meant and which is unique to US:https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading
>>34528417Nobody on this website will be clicking that link fyi. Give it up you hate us cuz you anus
>>34527904>Your best bet is to start your own recovery journey through strong introspection, journaling and learningThis, most of therapy is self work anyway so all it really takes is recognizing what your exact problems are and making active daily steps to either stop, change, or focus the energy elsewhere. Personally I feel great when I stop beating off or smoking weed, something you dont need a therapist to tell you to get a grip on.
Therapy is a meme. Just talk to yourself
>>34527804I went to see a therapist last year because I wanted to leave my wife. I wanted to be polyamorous, try swinging, do exhibitionist stuff like going to nude beaches. Go to sex clubs, etc. My wife is not into any of this stuff, so I wanted to get to the bottom of why I have all these desires. My therapist tells me in the first session that SHE is a swinger/hotwife with an exhibitionist fetish who got her tits done so she can show them off anytime she likes. All we talked about was how fun sex was with other people. She legitimately seemed dumb anytime she tried to come back to reality and help me work through my issues. It was like, "Wait, do you think it's a problem? Your wife sounds like a bitch."I did three sessions and realized I was paying to talk to a bigger gooner than I was.
>tfw mental health professionals can't help me>tfw can't help myselfNow what?
>>34528578Sounds like the plot of a sitcom episode.Naive and degenerate therapist who just makes shit worse for her clients actually sounds like a sitcom side character.
>>34527804It helped me quite a bit, but it took a while
>>34528578?? therapists aren't supposed to disclose this shit and are supposed to be neutral figures, where do you guys find these people?
>>34527811This, basically. Avoid drugs at all costs, and never tell anybody too much about suicidality or you will get taken and force-drugged in a facility and potentially end up with brain damage and psychosis.>>34527909The ultimate budget solution is to go to therapy for maybe a year and then once you've learned the principles, talk to an AI. However, don't use ChatGPT, it's extremely woke and straight-up harmful. My tierlist is approximately Grok >>>> Claude > Gemini > ChatGPT. None of the AIs act like a therapist should, so having some baseline therapy helps you disregard the sycophancy pitfalls and learn to ask the right questions. The quality of the answers depends entirely on the quality of your questions.Therapy is not a silver bullet but can be very illuminating, and AI can be straight up harmful for a naive user.
>>34527804they're four different things you fucking retard- therapist- psychiatrist- psychologist- counselordo your own research i'm tired of this shitpsychiatrists are the ones who give meds, the others don't
