I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

#wrenfea.exe #DISCLAIMER: dont take this as me saying you should be pushing your mentally ill friends #this is more about how physical conditions often differ in how they are treated #also dont like. force your friends or anyone with anxiety to do things they dont want to #thats what therapists are for #also most mental illnesses require medication alongside therapy before they can get better #but even chronic illnesses and disabilities that benefit from exercise still require knowing your limits #and not being pressured to push past them #ive noticed some professionals who help both mentally and physically ill patients tend towards the push method #like my therapist and sometimes my counselors fall back on that method #and i have to remind them i am already pushing myself #and i need to adapt rather than push forward #chronic disability #chronic pain #spoonie #disability #chronic illness #cripple punk #cripplepunk #cpunk

i think i officially set my sights on a therapist and i'll be contacting her very soon?? therapy was legitimately not on my 2024 bingo card (or in the cards for me at all) but here we are????

#this blog always had a focus on social science and detangling feelings and experiences. like it's basically been serving as my diary #bc this blog has always been my main outlet for it. i hate talking feelings to anyone irl. it's a bad habit but i hate it #so it was a game changer and helped me grow up sooo much. esp supplemented w other people's experiences. #being raised by a stoic engineer mother who's very much warm but also not very good at feelings at times has caused me to suppress SO much #compounded w being the eldest daughter. like that is a damning sentence in and of itself #tumblr just gave me an outlet for stuff like this. and every social media is essentially a highlight reel of ppl's best moments. #tumblr is the opposite. i've always loved that too whether it was in the form of humor or more earnest posts #could i work through my own issues by myself? yes probably #and my blog will always have that facet even if i get a therapist #but a therapist's input. just a professional's input. will expedite a lot of improvement for me i think #this has been a critical time period for me anyway bc i'm budgeting my whole schedule for once vs being handheld by uni deadlines #and it's just gonna keep getting more and more intense from here bc i'm truly pushing my comfort zone more than ever before #it just feels like the right call even tho i'm lowkey nervous ab it bc i HATE talking feelings in person. #this therapist will not fall for my trying to deflect by asking her about her life. which. usually works on my friends <3 #we will see. a therapy arc is coming very soon basically #p

No desire for my favorite character to be the best striker, or even for two characters whose relationship goes far beyond platonic to get together, can compare to the desperate need for professional psychological help in Blue Lock.

These kids aren't alright.

#oh come on even in reality shows people have a psychologist #and then there is the issue of professional football #someone should at least provide them with a sports psychologist #huge pressure plus lots of other issues #many characters clearly have problems and need therapy #why is this ignored? #chapters about therapy sessions would be really interesting and necessary #these kids need help #blue lock #bllk #nagi seishiro #reo mikage #isagi yoichi #hiori yo #rin itoshi #shidou ryusei #kunigami rensuke #chigiri hyoma #bachira meguru #barou shouei #michael kaiser #ness alexis #niko ikki #raichi jingo #shidou ryuusei #tokimitsu aoshi #yukimiya kenyu #just tag every character they all need help

I think a lot of people are frustrated sometimes when somebody expresses that therapy just "doesn't work" for them, and I used to feel that way, too, until I realized that the therapy that I was doing just wasn't right for me.

When people think therapy, I think many just assume it's all cognitive behavioural therapy and that that is the only kind of therapy out there. However, this isn't true, and CBT can absolutely be ineffective for certain situations. If you are confused by this idea, here's an example: when I was in the midst of my most recent abusive circumstance, not only was my therapy weaponized against me by my abuser, but also, the therapists I had were ill-prepared to treat ongoing abuse. They had the tools common for CBT, but there is only so much a victim can do before their circumstances are completely out of their control. In a case like this, CBT can be an unhelpful tool alone, which is why you have people who blanket statement say that all therapy is unhelpful (understandable why one would say that if they haven't had any helpful/good experiences).

It seems like people see this idea that "therapy doesn't work" as an automatic red flag, and certainly, I can imagine why one would think that. However, in a healthcare system that generally prioritizes CBT therapy as the "only therapy," it's helpful to remember that CBT isn't always the best option or the best option alone.

#mental health #mental health support #abuse #abuse tw #abuse mention tw #i just think it's best to not assume that people say this because they 'dont try' #i've had a decade's worth of CBT before i had to stop and it wasn't very helpful and i tried! #it's just that CBT doesn't 'need' to be specialized which means it tends to be cheaper than specialists #it's just really frustrating to navigate these spaces as somebody who's 'failed' CBT therapy #i think this therapy absolutely has its place and i think you can do cbt alongside specialized therapies #but i don't always think cbt alone is right for everybody - it wasn't right at all for me #and if i go to therapy again i'll probably explore alternatives or specialized therapy alongsode cbt #but that's probably if i get lucky #obligatory i am not a professional; i have just been a patient for a decade+ and speak with that experience in mind #actually the more i think about it the more fucked up it was that my abuser used therapy against me i never really thought about it as a kid #kept this one in the drafts for a bit but fuck it we ball

been thinkin about all the cheap diy folks did in alt scenes back in the day, and now i’m imagining Eddie calling Steve out of nowhere on a day off

“Hey, do you have any kool-aid? Like, the packets? Specifically Cherry. Oh, and the blue one, berry-something-or-other.”

Steve is confused but checks his cabinets to find that he does, indeed, have those flavours

“Sweet, could you bring ‘em over? See you in 10, bye!”

Still confused, Steve does as asked, and pulls up to Eddie’s place with kool-aid packets in hand, knocks on the door, and Eddie comes out

BLONDE

#Stranger Things #Steddie #Eddie Munson #Steve Harrington #just picture steve helping eddie dye his hair #and arguing with him the whole time that if he wanted his hair done he could've just asked steve to pay a professional he's got the money #and eddie just insists that it's the principle of the thing and besides this is more fun #why eddie is dying his hair is up to you but come on #we've all done body mod therapy at one point in our lives

[ghouljams]

Everyone who related to Die’s lil uquiz reply a bit too much raise ur hand I gotta know how many of us will be in therapy together

If you or a loved one has been personally victimized by Ghoul's fake uquiz answers...

#ghoul speaks #I mean this with love: #yes please get some therapy if you think you need it #your value is not locked to anything #you're valuable because you are alive #but also please seek professional help

if a therapist came to the dsmp to treat the characthers they would need therapy after doing it probably

[context]

You and @piscespixiewastaken think alike it seems.

Indeed they would. In fact, this point actually pushed me to ask my sister-in-law, who is a therapist/counselor about it just out of curiosity. 

Here’s what I learned:

Despite what my counselor said, not all therapists were required in school to do counseling themselves to get certified. Some counselors have actually never even been to therapy themselves (not sure how I feel about that to be honest… not to deter people from going to therapy - please do if you are able) something my sister-in-law didn’t seem to be a big fan of.

When asked if she felt like she needed counseling after/because of a specific client she said that yes that can definitely be the case. She noted that empathy fatigue is often common after listening to people all day, which makes sense and that would be a common reason for some needed personal counseling. As expected, while she hasn’t had to deal with a lot of it, she did note that dealing with people with antisocial behavior disorders (ie narcissistic, histrionic… think sociopath disorders) can be especially taxing.

Given that the dsmp is a group of povs of the same story and events, I was curious on whether she often found herself taking sides when she does couples counseling. She said that there can be an initial bias at first when the base facts are presented to her, which is something she often has to check herself on, but that actually she finds that usually there is truth and wrongdoing on both sides and there is no true ‘bad guy.’ Though she did add that she has not dealt with any relationships involving more intense abuse especially relating to antisocial behavior disorders. In other words, the couples she sees likely came willingly and are sound enough in mind on both sides to want to fix the problems, if that makes sense.

So in other words, there are, much to my surprise, counselors who do not go (may not have gone) to therapy themselves, but that doesn’t make it healthy and considering the characters in the dsmp it would likely be recommended that this counselor also see someone. I will say though the implication that people in the dsmp are more problematic then real world people are is perhaps an underestimation of irl mental illness. Just because the dsmp members wear armor and carry around weapons doesn't make them more troublesome than people irl, though perhaps that is me viewing it from their world standards which I assume the therapist would be from. In either case, whether the therapist was from the realm of Minecraft world circumstances or more irl, I do imagine they being either inhumanly sane and not need a therapist of their own, or they get together with another therapist and perhaps drink over all the dsmp insanity. And whether they would be inclined to take sides I think is hard to say since there are definitely some characters who need a psych ward. Anyways… hope you enjoyed my info dump. :)

#lol I really can't help myself can I. I just have to provide way more detail and info on stuff XD... #well you learn things... might be the best convo I've had with my sister-in-law as an aside :D #also again please go to therapy if you can I have been seeing someone for over 5 years now and I can say I both wouldn't be here if I hadn' #and that it has really helped me grown as a person and form more healthy relationships. #having a professional. who isn't a friend or family member with bias. can be really great to help you heal and navigate life #please also remember that it may take a little to find a therapist who you connect with so don’t just give up <3 #oops sorry for the therapy advertisement... I'm just passionate about it ;) <3 <3 #fanfiction #hello there #dsmp analysis #dsmpblr #dsmp fanfic #dsmp #dream smp

If I’m not able to pull up the DSM-5 and check off at least half of the criteria for autism when reading a Batman run, then I believe the author fundamentally misunderstands Batman’s character.

It’s not that I’m saying Bruce should be autistic. What I am saying is that if Bruce is not at least neurodivergent-coded then he ultimately loses nearly all of his most defining habits and personality traits. Expecially the ones that are shown through interacting with other characters & internal dialogue.

#batman #dc comics #bruce wayne #dc #most of his defining characteristics are autistic traits #low empathy and being able to process your emotions #having a very strong sense of Justice and What Is Right #only feeling emotions in the extremes or feeling nothing #it’s to the point for me where anger gives almost the same feeling as being happy #just because it’s as intense of an emotion that it almost feels the same #and as someone who has gone to therapy for many years to understand that while anger is an easier way to feel emotions #seeking happiness is not only healthier but makes you not a shit person to be around #that was me who learned that. Bruce simply did not #so therefore: anger & rage & pain help him feel #so he deliberately seeks it out #he’s also very awkward at talking to people #not to fucking mention he’s more comfortable talking to people in a professional setting than in an unprofessional one #he has difficulty processing and expressing emotions and just ASSUMES that people know what they mean to him #instead of telling them. this leads to Many communication issues where people around Bruce don’t feel appreciated or loved because he #NEVER FUCKING TELLS THEM AND JUST ASSUMES THEY KNOW! NO THEY DO NOT BRUCE YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO TELL THEM #his exceptionally dry humor is exactly my autistic sense of humor #lightly making fun of friends or lying about stuff obviously with a straight face and deadpan delivery #his nonverbal ‘hnm’s #his hyporeactivity to sensory input and pain are also very telling #his communication issues because he’s on a different wavelength than those around him #i could go on and on and on but that’s all for now #actually autistic

it's not that i don't believe in therapy it's that when i NEEDED it no one cared. so I figured it out myself. I know how to handle myself and my (increasingly infrequent) breakdowns and I understand myself and know I'll be okay no matter what and I self reflect and process my emotions and am very emotionally open and I'm so proud of the person I am every day. but I do have low days, and that's what pisses me off: I'm ALLOWED to be sad sometimes. it's a part of how my brain works, and the important thing is I know how to handle it effectively in a healthy way. and swooping in and forcing me to pay an insane amount to sit in an office when I DID ALL THAT WORK MYSELF is so aggravating. therapy has only ever made me feel worse. I'm a survivor, I've survived so much, and therapy is literally just a scapegoat for empathy for people these days. it relieves you of having to engage or care about other people. and LISTEN I'm not anti therapy by any means. as the Therapist Friend ™️ even when I'm mentally ill asf and when I was a literal kid myself I know that sometimes you can't do anything. professional help is necessary. it's the only way. but it doesn't!!! fucking!!! work for everyone!!! if someone isn't actively suicidal and trying to get better on their own and they don't WANT therapy because it doesn't WORK for them maybe don't be a condescending dick about it! therapy isn't a magical solution that makes everyone okay SOMETIMES people have external problems and are justified in feeling the way they do!!! therapy can be helpful yes but a lot of the time it is just a soulless void of practiced regulations for something that is not black or white because guess what everyone's different! and assuming the same thing works for everyone and that YOU know better than them (unless they're clearly obviously not doing well and are beyond helping themselves) is condescending as fuck!!!

#anti therapy #not really but i guess #anyway today my psychiat said i can quit therapy and that's finally someone my parents will listen to #good day #anyway therapy is really important and i think it's necessary to give it a sustained shot if you're in a position #where it either helps you or you don't have faith in yourself to get better #you need someone else an unbiased professional third party #you want a feedback loop and don't trust yourself #but it is NOT an all fit #i have friends who really didn't want to go to therapy and i kept pushing them even when it didn't work at first #and now they love it #but that's also because they NEEDED it #now it's just. oh you're sad i don't want you to be sad but i don't want to hear about your problems so go to a therapist #x am rambles #also therapy only works if you put in the work #you can't force people into it

[sarah-yyy]

me: i can't lodge this application, we're literally NOT READY client: ok i understand client, 30 secs later on the phone to bossman: idk why sarah is not lodging my application me:

#i have had it UP TO HERE with this client!!!!!! #how many ways do i need to say WE ARE NOT READY to him before he gets it!!!!!! #there are so many factors at play here i literally do not have what i need to lodge!!!!!!! #and he!!!!! keeps getting different people to chase me!!!!!!!!! #like no!!!!! not ready means not ready!!!!! wtf is bossman supposed to do for you!!!!! #why would you stress me out even more!!!!!!! #fuck some days i hate transactions today is one of them #i am going to need so much professional therapy in my 40s tbh #the level of anger management help that i will need :) #work stories #sarah talks about herself

[ufolvr]

this is so funny and im so glad they added this to their arc bc while replaying this i was like. ok wow. snorpy needs therapy for real and they need time away from each other this isnt Normal. so glad they made shelda say something that makes sense too - these two have something insane going on and i love them

#shelda voice he needs fucking therapy #chandlo voice yeah ive been- #shelda voice no honey. he needs professional help. like the real deal. #📡 incoming transmission 📡 #chandlo funkbun #shelda woolbag

[onismsys]

i dont understand why so many people's reaction to asking for answers, help, or advice is just "see a professional" and thats all and end of discussion

like yeah in an ideal world that would be the answer, that would be easy wouldn't it?

but they dont realize there are people who can hardly afford to eat, dont have transportation, dont have insurance, dont have access to any support other than the internet

what then? would you tell a homeless person to go see a therapist instead of being able to eat?

#for context we are recovering from homelessness and have no family to rely on #and when able to we tried multiple times to get professional help in the past #why is it shunned to seek out help #did #osdd #mental illness #dissociative identity disorder #did system #traumagenic system #ptsd #hallucinations #comorbidities #trauma #trauma disorders #seek therapy #seek help #ours

“Runaway”

Teen Rinne fanart bc his lore actually has a CRAZY(:b) grip on me rn mama Mia

#enstars #ensemble stars #art #fanart #artists on tumblr #poyaposted #rinne amagi #this dude would benefit so hard from therapy #little bro would be completely different if he found professional help 😔 #oh buddy #I still think he’s cool tho godbless

[daz4i]

let me preface this by clarifying i am not anti therapy in any way whatsoever and in fact encourage people to get therapy if they can and even go the extra step to help friends find the right type of therapy that may help them

ok now that that's out of the way.

therapy is bullshit man you go to a therapist saying "hey. i wanna kill myself. can you help me stop wanting to kill myself somehow?" and they go "sure! first step, stop wanting to kill yourself" and you say "well i can't. that's why i came to you. bc i don't know. how to stop wanting to kill myself" and they'll say "that's a shame. i can't help you if you want to kill yourself. that'll be 125$ please"

#mad abt my old therapist again #even checked the cost of sessions in usd to make this accessible. came out to be 124$ and a bit. and i did that on a weekly basis for YEARS #and i'm extra mad bc trying to find a new therapist is already hard esp with bpd where your options are very limited as is #but when they ask abt my history with therapy and they ask why i stopped seeing him after years. what am i supposed to say #so that scares them off and they say they can't help me or they're like. scared to go deep with me ig. bc idk. they're scared I'll snap? #what am i supposed to do. hospitalizing myself isn't an option obvs. what is there left. #it feels like a cycle #like. 'i can't help you if you don't want to help yourself'. but i need help even figuring out how to want that #and it's not like ppl in my life know how to help. tbh they usually make it worse. so loved ones aren't an option and professionals aren't - #- an option. so what is there left. how am i supposed to do a thing that comes naturally to others but not to me #even with medication even being in a recovery program i want to kms more than i used to for years #I'm supposedly taking the right steps. but. to get metaphorical ig. the road is crumbling and there's nowhere to go #and that only makes me spiral more. despite taking the right steps i feel like i'm only getting worse. there's no hope for me. lol #vent #suicide // #negative // #ask to tag #i need a good cry like full-on sobbing and screaming but unfortunately. i became too emotionally constipated for that

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

just came out of my therapy appointment having given my therapist detailed new ideas for strategies to try with her other clients

happy to help?!

#storyrambles #lmao every time i leave an appointment with anyone that is supposed to be helping me i somehow... end up having helped them? #i mean it's not like i didn't get the actual therapy so it's not bad. i just find it funny #my superpower is getting and giving help at the same time to trained professionals
