Why wouldn’t you? It’s a free way to write down your struggles and get a response without judgment, all without the insurmountable effort and bravery threshold of getting to a therapist, not to mention the cost.
That it’s sycophantic and actually harmful to vulnerable people is beside the point for them, same as lung cancer is beside the point for a smoker, until they get it.
This is a complete failure of the healthcare system. We’ve normalised seeking help, but we failed to make it available. What to speak of the countries where mental healthcare is still stigmatised, it’s probably even higher there. It’s a sad number because the system failed these people, not their friends or family for “not being there enough”
Yes, and the classist “just get a therapist” when it’s hundreds of dollars each visit.
Garsh, don't be do entitled /s.
Just pull yourself up by the artificial bootstraps offered to you by the benevolent oligarchy you're well aware has been using targeted propaganda and information control to exploit the masses for centuries.
