“You need psychological and psychiatric help. Put yourself in the hands of professionals urgently.”
Below, an image of a cartoon character vaguely similar to a bumblebee with x’s for eyes and a frown. x◠x
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.
Not a meme, just sound advice. Sound advice that feels bad man ima report dis
I just found it funny that for such a serious statement they chose to accompany it with that image.
Oh wow, I thought that was added lmao
I guess the aliased, white border on the dark background is what threw me off. Dark Reader extension?

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.
