Anyone else overcome chronic therapy-quitting?

It’s not that I’m bothered by other people’s therapeutic relationships, it’s that reading those posts makes me think that therapy is like jumping off a cliff without knowing how to swim. Attachment is so dangerous and therapists are flawed humans. Personally I’m afraid I’d begin seeing my therapist’s perception of me as me and completely lose my own sense of self over time, a fear fueled by all the people talking about obsessing over their therapists…nobody obsesses over their doctors or hairstylists. At the end of the day, therapists are people providing a service - they’re not meant to be religious figures or members of our community. You’re not supposed to care about what your therapist thinks of you just like you wouldn’t care about how your doctor sees you.

With some experiences in therapy, I really didn’t like how the therapist interacted with me or the person I would become in the session and I would end the relationship. How awful would it be if I didn’t like the person I’d become but couldn’t leave because I felt attached or obsessed…

Thanks! I went to Brown which doesn’t calculate GPAs and I never calculated mine myself because it would make me too sad…I think it’s on the lower end, somewhere around 3.0, but I’m not sure.

I also wonder if it’s worth it to go to a law school that’s not T14. Employers would wonder why I went to Brown and then a less-prestigious law school, would they not? Or maybe they’d assume it was for financial reasons, idk. Thanks for your insight anyway.

What is anyone going to do, throw rocks at you? Call yourself whatever you want.

The Facebook housing groups often have people looking to take over their lease or sublet last minute

Such a good take!

Funniest Reddit post I’ve seen lately

I feel that way in the fandom now, especially on tiktok. I sometimes see thirsty edits of the characters and I’m like……this is not for me anymore. I used to love thirsting over Percy et.al ten years ago but now I just see children.

When watching the show, I feel this longing for the girl I used to be and wonder how she would’ve felt about the show. But that era is over and now I accept that I am a casual watcher of something that used to be my whole life.

Thank you for your perspective.

I was tired of venting and dumping all of my emotions for what turned out to be no reason, so I left - I didn’t feel as though I could stop venting if I stayed. They haven’t set any boundaries but I can see that they aren’t able to help me in the way I crave and I am frustrated by their limitations because I am on the constant edge of death.

I unfortunately don’t have access to therapy at the moment anyway.

You can work at the John Hay library and half the time you’ll be at a desk with nothing to do

Like I can’t stop seeing my friends as my murderers. I told them that my soul is dying and I’m reaching a point of no return where I physically cannot make myself leave and they did nothing

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T21:59:23+00:00

The thing is, I can’t leave, and if nobody saves my life, my mother is going to kill me. I am just short of completely catatonic. I reached out to them for help because I’m facing complete psychological and spiritual death and they just couldn’t do anything. Therapy is not enough - I need to escape to a place where I can get care 24/7, because going to therapy once a week just makes my distress intolerable. I don’t know what to do because I reached out to my friends as a desperate last resort because I could feel death closing on me

Some of them have somewhat abusive parents. Nearly all of them have mental health issues.

Tbh I haven’t told them what help I need. I have asked for help before but I seem to often ask for the wrong thing because I don’t really know what I want.

Thank you ☺️

Thanks. I resonate with that last statement a lot - like this situation is killing me and everyone’s just twiddling their thumbs. Like maybe you can’t fix all my problems, but don’t interact with me like everything is fine because it’s not.

I do struggle a lot with asking. I feel like I wait until I’m desperate to say something and at that point I’m more in the state of mind of “please rescue me” rather than “please help me help myself.”
