lol for real I spoke to a therapist ones and I just ended up making him depressed lol. I'm like dude my anxiety issues aren't a disorder, the planet is on fire, my boss is a fascist, I barely have a home and could lose it at any time, and most of my friends are dead, in jail, or turned into reactionaries, and on top of all of that I stumbled into a management position where my entire job expectation is to betray every one of my moral fibers.
He gave me a note to go back to work and was basically like "yeah that's fucked not sure I can help you much besides letting you vent"
People keep telling me it's practically necessary and you discover so much stuff and it feels good to just talk to someone. And yeah, I'm sure that's all true. But my diary fills the same function, and I'm not just vomiting my rather bleak world-view at someone who's no doubt stretched thin as is.
When you just can't cope with your shit on your own anymore, then it's time to go to therapy
Because whatever the alternative is to going to therapy at that point is almost certainly worse than just going to therapy
I agree. It's a tool in the toolbox that has its use.
The best moment is before you can't cope with your shit on your own anymore. But when you can't then it sure as fuck is.
