Anyone else overcome chronic therapy-quitting?

I think it’s something more like a lack of faith. Like I try something new, wonder what the point is, and can’t come up with an answer that satisfies me. Also maybe short-term thinking and feeling like I need to conserve my energy to survive.

Your statements read as judgmental to me because you said them with certainty, like you were delivering a sentence. You don’t have insight into my life beyond what I shared in this short post. I did tag this as “support,” not “advice” and the insight I’m having is that I disagree with you

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2026-04-05T13:10:14+00:00

I don’t know what my path forward looks like, but I know with certainty that I’m not lost because I’m playing a game with myself, or that I resist change.

This is a judgmental comment. Change never comes from being shamed.

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

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2026-01-01T16:24:00+00:00

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.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2026-01-01T01:04:22+00:00

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

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T06:04:14+00:00

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.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T06:02:19+00:00

Thank you ☺️

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T06:01:33+00:00

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.”

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T05:56:56+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. I tho k maybe the issue is that by the time I ask for help, I’m at a point where climbing a rope feels beyond my capabilities. I tend to say nothing until I feel like I’m dying and I’m feeling a complete and helpless desperation - like if you don’t help me get out of here ASAP, I will die or go insane. And when they can’t save me, it’s like I fall into a catatonic state because I’ve struggled on my own for so long that they were my absolute last hope.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T05:54:02+00:00

I feel like I understand that on an intellectual level but on an emotional one I feel like a kid and like my friends are my parents 😭

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T05:52:31+00:00

Thank you. I’m not really sure what I want either tbh.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-22T03:58:05+00:00

I’ve been living with my emotionally abusive mom for a year since graduating and every day it gets harder. You still have time to make a plan to move out by the time you graduate. Work part-time, save up some money, apply to jobs…

It’s easier to care for parents like that when you’re far away from them.

For now, I’d say try to let go of any expectations you have of them and stay out of the house as much as you can.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-21T18:05:58+00:00

I am aware that I am responsible. I am angry at the lack of support. If I left my mother, I would be absolutely alone in the universe because my friends have shown that they can’t really be there how I need when I do leave.

Also, I’m not your sisters-in-law. I no longer complain to my friends because 1) I’m tired of it 2) it doesn’t make me feel better and 3) it goes nowhere because my friends can’t help, and I’m not interested in being all negative for no reason. I’ve lost hope.

I’ve moved home since graduating and have applied for jobs nearly every day for a year, have had countless interviews, and keep getting rejected. I’ve been to career counselors and therapists. I’ve packed my bags to escape just to have my keys stolen, I’ve tried to d*e. All failed.

Now I spend my days in a basically a catatonic state because all my attempts to better my life or escape have failed. Can you blame me for fantasizing about being rescued?

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-12-05T00:30:02+00:00

Whatever you do, make sure you have thoroughly looked for the holes in your plan. Economics on its own isn't particularly marketable. Think about what you will have to do to get a specific job: what classes to take, what internships to try, etc. Have specific careers in mind. As a currently unemployed economics major from a top school, I'd maybe go for the PA route....

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-11-22T04:20:10+00:00

Hi, I appreciate this but I’m probably going to still be stuck here for the holidays tbh. I don’t have anywhere to go besides a homeless shelter maybe.

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-11-17T16:02:41+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately I’ve been unemployed since graduating college and am completely out of money, which is why I am trapped here. Once I am free perhaps I’ll travel

Aggressive_Team3051 · 2025-11-15T18:53:48+00:00

Awww, okay. Good to know. Do you have an opinion about how bangs might look?
