message I got on tumblr just now lmao

[XxEstenxX]

Lmao. If only my life was so great that I think therapy is the solution to everyone's problem and just a magic fix that cures all.

I hope this person knows that they just made me even more suicidal because of how much they just pissed me off lol and now I wanna SH. This world is so ignorant and close minded of those who are suffering...

this bro is kind to you actually for real

"get therapy" is the easiest way to virtue signal and shrug off the person you're talking to all in one

how patronizing to recommend the #1 most marketed, front line treatment like anyone's stupid enough to not have considered it



not to mention anyone worth any MH advice or empathy can easily spot the 10 immediate concerns about the practice of therapy if you critically think for just over 60 seconds

You put it so direct and succinctly.

...kind? It's very easy to dm someone and say "get help". If they were kind and actually cared they'd start a conversation and want to get to know me.

i've talked to so many therapy shills. sometimes people just don't know what to say so they're like "get therapy" because they expect it to do something. even people on sasu do it. it just makes me want to shut up. i can't stand when guys try to explain how good therapy would be for me like i'm stupid and don't know what therapy is. my mom thinks medicine is for crazies and that people who commit suicide are cowards because she doesn't want to educate herself, so she's not any better. i just wish i could explain that just because someone has money or the right insurance to go therapy doesn't mean i do. it's cheaper to kys in tx than get weekly therapy sessions, but no one wants to talk about that.

It's rare for someone to be a pillar of support while also just being your friend and being there for you.

It's nice to have someone to vent to every now and then but it doesnt feel genuine if there's no love after. It's nice to have someone to yap to about your interests but it doesnt feel genuine if they're ignoring your cries for help because they cant be bothered to care. They think they're doing a service by talking to the poor mentally ill loser, but it comes off as fake if I'm literally begging them to care about me beyond our mutual interests and they ignore my cries for help. It doesn't help—I just spiral even more.

I've never met anyone who balanced the two without making me feel like shit because of how "overwhelmed" they are, but I wouldn't hesitate to be that anchor for someone no matter how rough the journey may be...

Not exactly what you were talking about but I just wanted to add this to the conversation as well.

I am openly suicidal. My tumblr is my online diary, but also a complex suicide note if I do end up dying one day. I tend to attract people like this sometimes but I just ignore them and they never reach out again (so surprising lmao). I've never had someone tell me to "get therapy" though. That was a first for me lol.

I THOUGHT U SAID TINDER I WAS LIKE DAMNNNN , haha.
ALSO i completely agree with u , a person that wants to help is someone that would try to build a conversation. find things in common instead of whatever this creature did

Look i know it is pointless to even dm someone this but that person probably just tries to be nice, even if they dont understand depression.

Again, we must have different versions of "nice" if telling someone to blatantly "get therapy" is a kind thing to do...

We shouldn't excuse blatant ignorance with "they were just trying to be nice!" Calling someone out on their behavior is the first step to changing the stigma and misinformation surrounding mental health and mental health "care", no matter what their intention behind that message was.

Therapy is a scam. I went to several therapists. All they do is nod and go "hmmm yes" or give advice that's basically "get over it". I did not have to spend money to hear that lol.

I just play video games when I'm sad now.

They probably couldnt know they hurt your feelings. I could see how it could come off as offensive but again how could they know? By all means call them out but try to understand their prespective too
