    Therapists are treated like they’re supposed to be miracle workers. You’re experiencing some sort of mental health struggle? Just go see a therapist, because they know how to make your mind magically better. If it doesn’t work, it’s because you aren’t trying hard enough.

    I spent years and thousands on therapy to realize that my problem is that I have zero support system, and have been always viewed as disposable by my family. I’m awkward, probably autistic, but was born female so never got diagnosed - just tortured in the “troubled teen industry.” I’m queer, so I’m not really a human being where I live.

    Therapy doesn’t fix those things.

    “Drink water, eat more regular, and sleep regularly” “NOT EVERYTHING THAT WORKS FOR YOU WORKS FOR ME”

    Edit: 9 times outta 10 it’s one of these or you learned a bad thought pattern you need to figure out how to unlearn

      For me, the real answer is “spend time outdoors, in nature”. This is so overlooked, but studies confirm the mental health benefits of “forest bathing”/spending time in nature.
