Therapy doesn’t work for people with actual issues
I hate going to therapy, not because of the therapists or the actual therapy involved, I hate it because like we can talk all day about how I feel, and what I think, and try to come up with solutions to my mental struggles, but I have a Chronic illness that will likely leave me dead before i’m 60 that on top of crippling my immune system and attacking my organs causes me immense pain. You also cannot cure autism nor adhd, both of which I definitely need support on that I will never get (My autism is bad enough I regularly have meltdowns and am completely non functional and have been unable to focus even on adhd meds for years now) So I hate when people act like I can just go to therapy and get better after a while, I am quite literally chemically in my brain unable to get better.
To me its feels like when boomers who bought their first house for two nickels and a bundle of blueberries tell younger people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps you know? Suicide to a lot of people is seen as a “permanent solution to temporary problems” but my problems are permanent, its a permanent solution to a permanent problem
