I don't really take psychology as a field seriously. Most therapists are fucking losers to be blunt, and I don't respect most of them tbh. I consider them to be akin to cops in a way.

if a diagnosis is nothing but a set of symptoms and one person can fit the criteria of multiple who gets to decide and "treat" what is actually happening?
Furthermore on a personal level, They do not know the inside of my brain better than I do. They just don't. and the fact that they can and DO exercise so much control over me and others under the false guise of "helping" disgusts me. My experiences and I do not exist to feed your constant moral circlejerking. I am a human being with human thoughts and experiences and emotions. I shouldn't have to lie to a therapist about every little thing just to ensure that my bodily autonomy remains my own. There is nothing "wrong" with me because everything about my mental state is an entirely natural response to the environment and society that surrounds me. I know for a FACT that I am not the crazy one, the people who work in the mental health industry are. They only function to gaslight the people who the systems in place have failed (which is most of us, because the machine only really benefits the rich) by convincing us that there is something wrong with our state of existence, which most of the time there is nothing inherently wrong with anyone.

I'm sorry your experience has been like this. My therapist helped me a lot with things that were causing me to struggle but never implied they were inherently "wrong." I don't find maladaptive things to be wrong, but there's no shame in pointing out when something is maladaptive.
