    I honestly want to know what world people live in where they like getting sick?

    Aside from catching covid once (and that was from trusting a friend who I probably shouldn't have), I haven't had so much as a headcold since 2020 when I started masking

    Why is everyone so fucking set on being a disgusting little plague rat?

                Thanks, I've always been too afraid to ask questions about them. How do you get the water to line up if you can't see anything? Also how do you dry?

                  I use the handheld one (see profile pic). Although if you have the fancy Japanese ones, you can pull your butt cheeks apart and adjust your hole position to line up to the water. With practice, you can position your poop hole with your hand so that it lines up with the water without thinking. It's weird at first, but becomes second nature very quickly. Just keep at it.

                  I was exaggerating about only liberals wipe. You can use a bit of toilet paper to dry the water. You could just sit there for two minutes to air dry, this happens when you're out of tp and it's fine, but most people don't do it regularly.

          I've known and seen plenty of people online who think "skidmarks" are common and something you can't do anything about. I don't have a bidet so I just shower after I shit because toilet paper is never enough

    Thinking your therapist is a fucking idiot on top of wanting to actively sabotage you isn't great for the therapeutic relationship. I'd have walked out right then.

      I don't know who any of the people involved in this screenshot are, but is this twitter post not just a joke? Like the therapist wants her to take her mask off as in be her true self, and she misinterpreted the therapist as saying to literally take off her covid mask?

        Her therapist might be Dr. Katz if this is true.

        But the second half of the post is too serious for me to think this is a joke. It'd be a joke if she started with mentioning wearing a mask due to COVID and the final punchline is the therapist asking to take off her mask.

      My BILs therapist spent a full hour trying to convince him infidelity is OK, and if you do infidelity you shouldn't tell your partner.

    My last therapist tried to get me to organize various negative and positive thoughts I have throughout the day. Which was fine but she was a little insistent we make 4 categories and name them Harry Potter houses. She also once said "My job is to make you a better employee."

      Wow that's terrible. My head would literally explode if mine said either of those things. My therapist and i have actually talked about the fact that me being psychologically more integrated and healthy actively makes it more duffucult for me to be employed, because we live in a sick system

      This is my issue with therapy - ultimately I'm actually very okay with the things that are "wrong" with me. They're only "wrong" because they make it significantly more difficult for me to be an exploitable source of labor. If I wasn't constantly being pressured into being more willing to accept my own exploitation, then I would be drastically more relaxed. The best they're gonna do is give me better coping strategies, which like... I guess that's cool? shrug-outta-hecks

        Once I told her I have a problem getting to work on time, and that's because I often practice quitting in the mirror before I lose my nerve and just go to work. I do this ritual because I can't stand my job and want to be free of it

        Her advice was that I should make a weekly schedule on paper to wake up earlier, so I can more effectively get to work. Completely missing the main issue

    Really sorry for everyone who's had bad experiences with therapists. There's a lot of bad one's out there. I got extremely lucky and found a good one, and as a result its been really helpful for me. I even got her into Marxism lol

      ive had the same therapist for 2 years. he rarely spends even 3 minutes with me, mostly he just does rx refills. I quit my job recently so i don't have insurance. I told him we'll need to postpone our next visit until i find another job, and his response was "I'll just go ahead and close your case, good luck"

      fuckin wow

        That sounds like a psychiatrist, not a therapist . A regular degular down the middle therapist can't prescribe.

        That's awful. In general psychiatrists/nurse practitioners (all the one who can prescribe meds) suck at doing therapy. They are first and foremost medical practitioners and they only really care about you being upright, and not about your quality of life, like every other doctor/nurse.

        You really need a psychologist/licensed clinical social worker for talk therapy. The problem is many of them especially good ones don't take insurance. Many do sliding scale payments though, so its not impossible to find it affordably but its still not easy.

        Its a pretty shitty system, that makes it hardest for the people who need it most to access it. Unfortunately that's why talk therapy often gets stigmatized as a luxury, or as like pointless or indulgent, because the people who can most easily access therapy can because of privilege or self indulgence. Which sucks, because it can be enormously helpful to people.

      There's bad therapists, but good ones too. Psychiatrists give you meds, not talk therapy. Those are two completely different things

      There are definitely some people who get their licensure and then become a "therapist". But if you do your homework and make sure that the person is trained and certified in certain therapy modalities that are clinically proven to help you, and then make sure that person is on-the-level culturally (practices trauma-informed care, non-heteronormative inclusive, culturally competent) you are much more likely to have a good experience.

    It’s ironic how they call literally everything soulless when their edgy contrarianism is completely devoid of substance and sincerity. It must suck being that empty inside. Leftist one day, right wing the next because a trans zoomer on tik tok did something cringe.
