I haven't been to therapy since I was a kid and the therapy I experienced as a kid wasn't very good both because 1. it just wasn't a very good therapist and 2. I was(and still kind of am) incredibly scared of being therapized. I don't want some shrink to know whats going on in my head. That's my head. So therapy was largely an exercise in lying my ass off about being normal.

Apparently my attempts at self-therapizing myself through my early twenties where suddenly my depression, anxiety, and dissociative identity disorder turned out to make adulthood a lot more difficult than I was ready to deal with ended up working out really well for me though because my boyfriends therapist says I've been a wonderful influence on him and that I'm like a fucking master of DBT(Dialectical Behavior Therapy), which I didn't even know was what I was doing. But it works. It lets me function as a human being even when I'm at my craziest.
The best thing anyone can ever do is learn to self therapy lol.

I’ve personally been to two therapist (the first was terrible) but the second was good. I actually went into psychology specifically bc I got interested in it from my own psychiatrist lol.
 
yeah so i was doing that one stretch where u stand on one leg and bring your foot up and it was ok for one leg but i made a mistake and tried it for the other leg and when i put weight on my leg i heard a pop and started limping
Technically icing is supposed to speed up healing. Personally it doesn’t feel like it helps me that much but I’ll do it if I’m desperate to try to get it fixed even moderately quicker. Although it depends on what you actually did to it

If you and the therapist aren’t clicking, find a new one. You can tell in a handful of visits if it’s gonna actually be a good match (that’s not to saying you’ll ever be magically fixed but I mean if you are oil and water you can tell)

i twisted it on the rock climbing wall and it was fine yesterday but i felt it mostly in the morning

but then i didnt leave my bed til 5pm cuz i was gonna go play volleyball with some friends and then i did the stretch, felt the pop in my knee, and almost fell due to my leg ggiving out.

i think it's a flare up of a previous injury cuz i hurt my knee pretty badly originally when i dove indoors and landed on my knee
 
but yeah im vvery much not ok and i think i need help getting help and everyone who tries to help me gets me like 50% of the way there but i can never fully manage to book an appointment with any form of doctor just bc im afraid to open up and im afraid of the costs
 
(Chickens & pigs but mostly chickens). My family also has cows, horses, goats etc. Imagine if the Uchiha clan were farmers specializing in different animals lol
Oh nice! My goal is if I'm ever able to get some land it to start a homestead with life stock like that.

Also it turns out Horses are fairly expensive to maintain, 3k in hay for just the winter alone.

My dad wanted to retire from running the farm and offered me to take it over and it makes the same about of money as a professor job at a college, but less work hours a week, and I could do it immediately and be my own boss lol
Sounds like a good deal lol, I'd take it if I was in your shoes so I don't blame you

i also think my focus should be on this and not who puts the most goodest words into the mafia game machine

My inner monologue is constantly unhinged crash out behavior and interpreting everything in the worst manner possible if it’s negative and having to basically go through a real life Alien X ordeal from Ben 10 where my rational mind has to tell crazy Prof that he’s tripping.

I consciously know that rational Prof is right but sometimes crazy Prof does win even still. But it sorts itself out 9/10 times lol
 
Probably the funniest example I can think of is that I used to get anxiety attacks in public like all the time because I'd suddenly legit 100% believe that people could read my thoughts. And I have a 2 step solution now. 1. I remind myself that there is nothing I could to do to stop them even if they were, so there's no point in worrying 2. if that didn't calm me down then I will vividly imagine the weirdest, raunchiest thing I can think of. I will see that nobody even flinched and then everything will be okay

And I have to deal with it less often. It used to happen every day and now it only happens, uh... twice a week. Progress, baby.

The cost is a real thing where I can never just tell anyone “hey def go to therapy”. But, I will say at a minimum try to self teach yourself some. (Or you can always crash out in my PMs you won’t be the only one lol)

It was not my plan at all. But it was also an offer I couldn’t refuse lol.

i appreciate the offer but i dont want to be a burden esp when u already have others

i also want my therapist to be as big of an outsider as possible cuz i will figuratively metaphorically kill myself if i see my therapist in public outside of a session
 
dang it sounds like a lot of ppl here are really going through it

this feels like a little support group

i'll miss this when im gone cuz it feels like mafia and the ppl that go with it are a package deal
Tell you what

I won't tell you not to take a break. But I will tell you that any time, every time, you come back, I will share another facet of my insanity with you.

The York lore will flow evermore
