Advice for people that are genuinely mentally ill
| Ehhhhhhhhhhhh I'm not sure about that one
| Real advice
Ignore OP and go look for professional help to treat(or at least mitigate) your problem
| Fuck professional help. Every time I tried that my time was utterly wasted. OP's suggestion is better.
| It's almost like if you don't really want to get better you won't
| Real Real Advice
Murder everyone around you, so nobody can blame you for being insane
| >>565569 <- there is no magic bullet, it takes work and time. It sucks because it's not my fault I have this fate, but I *am* responsible for the actions I take (or don't).
| therapists are retarded. go get drunk with a frat boy, he'll set you right.
| >>566088
therapists are retarded though. they don't do anything. like, at all. they are only helpful to normalshits that don't actuall have problems
| I sais "professional help" not "therapy", if the pro doesn't recommends meds then it's probably not gonna work
| >>566100 therapists don't do anything, you are right, but when you go there and are working on making your life better, then you can talk about things that bother you, that are hard for you, problems that are stressing you out. They can't fix you, that's true, you have to do that, but they will listen and try to engage that part of you that wants to do something with your life. Meds are also a key part. They allow you to get out of depression or whatever, so you can at least try.
| lmao 'embrace' major depressive disorder and heavy anxiety
Thats the shit that made me a friendless jobless talentless hikki christmas cake
If I had been helped and cared for properly so I could fight my way out of embracing it when I was younger maybe I would be an actual person
| I keep telling the friends i support that they can get over their issues and embrace it, They fall for that shit every time.
Life is sad and depressing, If you are unlucky enough to be born fucked in the head you're pretty much done for from the start.
You either choose to try and live with it or you stop delaying the inevitable.
| >>566303 I was with you until "Nikki Christmas cake"...
>>566317 acceptance is a very important part of the healing process... not so much embracing it, but accepting the reality of the situation instead of hiding it or hiding from it. If you can help people to realize that it's not *them*, it's their disease, and that you don't hate them for it etc, it can go a long way toward helping them get out of the guilt and shame spiral. Wait, what were *you* talking about?
| >>566344 In the first paragraph i talk of my outward attitude towards mental disease to the mentally ill friends i try to support, In the second and third i contrast that external attitude with my internal belief based on my own experience with mental illness.
Separating the person from their disease saying that they are not a party in it and it's merely external influence sounds like forcing even more delusion rather than accepting the reality of the situation.
| >>566514 yea, I was kind of riffing on how it seemed you were saying one thing, then another, as a joke, but also meant what I said. It's not delusion for a person to understand that they aren't their disease. It's easy to internalize things like self-loathing and feelings of being worthless and pathetic, but that is being defined by it. That's why depression (specifically) can be so powerful. I'm saying to define *it* and the thoughts prompted by it as disease.
| Honestly just go speak to a professional you'd be surprised how much it can actually help you.
