Go To Therapy? Um Nah Im Good😁

[starboy2k]

For what, honestly? Unless the therapist is just as suicidal as me if not more.

I'm tired. Not just tired—burnt out, irritated, done.

When I screwed up, it was made crystal clear: my fault, my punishment, no escape. When I got screwed over, though? Nothing. No reassurance, no backup—just "move on," like it didn't matter. My consequences were immediate and harsh. Any sense of justice for me never showed up.

So why the hell should I learn to regulate my emotions more? I'm already so quiet, Im basically emotionally numb. I only express myself behind closed doors, and y'all that's what's society expects. I BARELY meltdown—and when I do, it's for a reason. But somehow, I'm still the one being looked at like I'm the problem.

To make it worse, I will never get any apologies or admissions from people who made me feel like a fucking anomaly throughout my life… I'll only get "you need therapy." The evil in humanity will never fix itself; it will only bully people into adapting to it via therapy and meds. And if you don't comply—boom—neglect, petty avoidance, destitution, and possible imprisonment.

Nah, I'm good. I'm absolutely at my wits' end, but I'm good nonetheless.

If you need them, they will complain. If you don't need them, they will still complain. People are only consistent in being inconsistent.

Yeah whenever someone says that to me, they lose all credibility in my view. To me, that statement "Go to therapy" insinuates multiple things, it first invalidates and dismisses whatever one's concerns or grievances are, then it also presumes that it is the solution to ALL problems without consideration of the circumstances (essentially a cop-out), and of course, the insinuation of not sound of mind/crazy person (prejudiced bias and generalization). Ultimately, I see it as dismissive and invalidating, presumptuous, and indictment of prejudiced bias and generalization of one's mental state.

Of course, whenever someone who pushes therapy gets rejected and then subsequently reacts negatively or with hostility (intimidation, lashing out or aggression) to such statements, they are beyond reasoning and have become hostile actors, deserving of being treated not with civility but in a different approach... but I digress.

And thats when folks begin to isolate. Yet act oblivious as to why you begin to isolate.
Want the moral dopamine hit of being "needed", but actually hate helping the people who need them in the first fucking place.

Its even more annoying when it's someone who has never been to therapy themselves using that mantra to dismiss whatever you have going on. Yet these are the same people who will say "I would rather listen to your story, than attend your funeral". Like fuck off.

I love my counselor, and I appreciate all that she's done for me, but...

The grass withers, the flowers fade, because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word our God stands forever. (Isaiah 40:7-8)
