Not a meme, just sound advice. Sound advice that feels bad man ima report dis
my psychiatrist's name is cannabis indica, MD.
okay, but seriously if anyone has been thinking about finding a therapist but hasn't felt the push to start, consider yourself pushed.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists this is a database that can help you find one. I put it off for years, let all the bad shit fester in my brain while in total denial that I needed help. I hit my breaking point hard and finally found the will to do it. You might not find a perfect match at first but people seriously underestimate how valuable outside counsel is.
SSRIs will be remembered in the same vein as "the humors" and lobotomies. Don't give in
Remember, folks: always trust PP_BOY_ on Lemmy comparing SSRIs to lobotomies over the advice of a medical doctor specialized in treating mental disorders and meta-analysis after meta-analysis showing a drug class' efficacy as a front-line treatment for depression.
Incidentally, how's that global anti-intellectualism crisis going?
The problem for me, is that I know I am a clear and present danger to myself. I have been for years. If I go to a therapist, they will likely agree that I am deeply suicidal. I cannot express to you how much I do NOT want to be put on a 72 hr hold. The very idea that that is possible fills me with rage. I simply do not trust them.
