You can talk about feelings (Rant about therapy and such)

[Szarur-abi]

But after telling friend that i feel unbearably lonely. Despair about the state of the world: Wars, climate change, corporate greed etc. And my life that got kinda stale and depressing and without any real perspectives on changing that while i try my hardest to better myself and my situation...

I hear that i need to go to therapy, as if crippling loneliness and state of the world isnt the problem itself but my thinking about it. The solution seems to be gaslighting me by paying money into believing that everything is completely alright, and i should be happy... Like hell i thought i could talk about my emotions without trying to shame me into therapy that i already tried MANY times and found it virtually useless everytime while also sucking out limited ammount of money i make by spending time in miserable job...

Also the numbers just doesnt add up, i need to pay daily wage (8hours of work in my country) just for being able to tell things to person that GETS PAID to actually listen. Cause my depressing rambling tires you (which is kinda understable actually) And it happens like an hour at most and is filled with useless advice and fake imitation of care... its the pinnacle of monumental sadness for me, you pay for someone to pretend to care cause noone wants listen to your emotions cause they are too much for them so they all tell you to go to therapy cause then they dont have to hear you feeling despaired and hopeless...

Therapy is gay and you can't really change the state of the world in a meaningful way as to not feel responsible so simply don't care.

chatgpt turns me schizo. it's actually awful to tell it my problems because it either tells me to seek help or that all of my anxieties are real instead of irrational. i just ended up isolating from other people instead because i don't want to make them sad

The problem with therapy today is it's goal. The goal is to get you into the workforce, working your life away until you die. It's to get you back into fitting in the machine where you don't matter.

But tell them you have no goals, that you are beyond recovery, that you never are going to work and that you just need help maintaining your existence because you can't cope with it. And suddenly they have no idea what to do anymore.

It's been really fun watching all the schooling my past few therapists went through amount to nothing once they realize their standard model doesn't mean shit.
