Wasted resources

[meetapple]

I receive SSI and pay for a therapist from a special needs trust fund set up by my parents. Does anyone ever feel that since their lives are a waste anyways that resources being spent on them are wasted? Especially with the therapist who is paid well I think the money could be used by people who have a worthwhile life.

Ya. Thats why when i started therapy i put my foot down at no more then 20$ and why thinking about being on meds til i die hurts in more ways then 1 (2 specifically, 1s the thought of taking them forever the other is the realization that someones paying for it)

which i dont even get. Min wage here i think is 11$/hr but a therapist wants typically 100-150$/hr (per person) so that would mean if they put in a normal 8hr work day they made 800$+. Cuz....yeah that makes sense (dripping in sarcasm). While im not saying that their pays shouldnt be up there, they should, but not that high. Thats a bit fen stupid.

Of course then you have unions crying "20$/hr isnt enough give us 25$" meanwhile you have people homeless, struggling, ect. oh how i hate humans. Anyway i went on a bit of a rant, sorry.

Yes, I felt really guilty when my dad had to pay for my psych expenses and meds! (my medical insurance covered a part of it but it sucked anyway)
I guess that's what helped me to stop being a NEET too.
Now, I have a new psych and new meds and I pay for everything and actually, I'm feeling better!

Yes, I even go so far as to feel guilty for the oxygen that is being wasted on me that could've been inhaled by an entity with an actual desire to live.

Fuck no! In the USA countless billions of dollars are stolen by filthy,sleazy bloodsucking layabouts,welfare fraudsters,medical fraudsters,stupid lazy welfare bums, over paid government assholes, and on and on. My miserable SS check is a waste? Hell no. We are crawling with foreigners sucking off the system!Fuck them!
Rant over, I guess.

With time I have realized that my life just really fucking sucks. There have been times (examples 20 yrs ago) when I had exacerbated anxiety/phobias...but now I think my issues are situational. I don't buy in that there is anything mentally wrong with me...My family and person I call my partner (truly shitty person) tell me I have issues. My issues stem from lack of lucrative/satisfying career. I'm mute so they really have no fucking basis. I'm fucking anxious for valid reasons. Scary shit.

I truly hate therapy. I have 0 respect for therapists (2 yr degrees to dole out advice for decades), psychologists and psychiatrists. They have never had anything helpful to say or have me think about. I'm being forced to go again and it's truly very very bad for me to endure. To get advice from someone so safe, with income....it's ridiculous. I plan to send two therapist whores anomynous letters...They won't care...but whatever. I am full of fucking anger...AND I know nothing I say to them or them saying to me will lessen the anger I feel. It's almost murderous. It's really bad.

I think it's really sad how people with super lame lives also gain labels to explain for this...or IDK it just seems like more punishment. So many people get so many labels...so many false diagnosis (happened to me). If I could sue for this I would.

Mental health professionals are about as helpful as pharmacists....truly a worthless and overpaid occupation.

Take care whatever happens.

I think your (very adequate) frustration with health professionals stems from the fact that they start from some assumptions like "the problem is your outlook on life" or " your emotions must be changed". While any of them would obviously agree that your circumstances weigh a lot on whether you hate your life / want to die or not, they can't (don't want to?) take responsibility for saying actionable things like "leave your partner" or "change your job" or any other thing that actually implicates in some risk.

Not even touching on the fact that none of them would ever, unless under some absurd imagined circumstance, accept a patients desire for death as something acceptable and help them achieve their goal with serenity and the least suffering for them and harm to others. I don't blame them for this, they are under the paradigm of the sanctity of life, thoughts outside this probably don't even register in their minds (not anymore, at least not in their professional minds).

Who in their right mind would pay psychiatrists to get despicable life advice and meds, the pills can cause permanent brain damage and erectile dysfunction, the whole business is a scam.

I'm glad I never wasted money on the despicable psychiatry industry, and never will. Cannabis will do for me.
