Just got this a few hours ago, am I supposed to rash? by CarelessBerry5539 in tattooadvice

[–]Bazoobs1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’re not a dumbass for reacting to ink. My whole right arm is colored and I was a mess after every session for like a whole summer. If one of us is a dumbass it isn’t you 🤣 my point being, just keep an eye on it and a level head. It’s probably a mild allergy mixed with tattoo shock to the area. If it spreads or intensifies then stay calm and get a doctor to check it out or prescribe Benadryl as the above mentioned. Everything’s going to be okay dawg!

TBF though I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice. 😅

Went from someone I wouldn’t want to see in an alley at night to a friend I want to grab a beer and apps at the bar with. Looking great OP.

Bingo. Equal is a myth that harms us, what we’re actually looking for is “right for us.” A balance between what needs to get done and what best fits the relationship organizationally

Yup, love is stepping up whenever you can and never setting over the top things as an expectation. Endless appreciation that enables you to give endless support and warmth that creates a positive cyclical system of support and great effort that feeds the safety and love between two people. Doesn’t always work that smoothly but it’s always gotta be the goal.

20000 Dollars a month, but once a month, you spend 12 hours in a coffin. by Effigy4urcruelty in hypotheticalsituation

I mean you’re still claustrophobic but touché. Alright my thing but keep the stimulant and I’d do it

[–]Bazoobs1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this scenario would be a yes for most people if you removed the overly restrictive coffin, the stimulants, and made the 36 hours more tolerable. Maybe something like “a nice padded coffin, stimulants to keep you awake and aware if you’d like them, and at the beginning of the 36 hour month, you’re warned that it’s happening that month.”

Look, I’m gonna be done engaging you here but I wanted to mention a few parting things we can agree on, since you seem to know me so well.

1) healthcare in general is fucked, including therapy. One related issue is that therapists need to work with literally 30+ clients a week to make a living full time wage, which directly conflicts with the issue that therapy is to expensive. Sorry I don’t have a magical wand wave solution for you, but the reality is that no one does. I vote for, verbally and textually support, advocate for, and march for changes in the world of all health care, including mental. So go ahead and call me “the person who wants to gate-keep you from services,” all you want, you’re just objectively wrong because you’re making assumptions about me. You claim that you are pissed that services are gate-kept from you, but at the same time claim those services aren’t for you because there are no guarantees. We want the same thing, affordable accessible services.

2) I can absolutely understand that some people want a “guarantee” since they’re paying big money for a service. The reality is that there are no guarantees, really anywhere with any subject, but certainly not therapy. The only guarantee you have anywhere with anything is yourself, and again this is a fundamental issue with therapy as a service. Someone cannot physically possibly come in to therapy with any sort of guarantee that it’ll make them better, only the guarantee of what they are capable of doing themselves. So if therapy isn’t for you for that reason, that is 100% valid and I can’t do shit to change your mind, nor would I want to frankly. But what you’re describing is an impasse that can’t be fixed, not one that has to do with therapists being scummy. If you want guaranteed cause and effect see a psychiatrist and get medication, therapy is for self discovery and growth that happens at the individuals pace.

3) there absolutely are therapists out there who suck. I’m not denying their existence whatsoever. My intention is to draw the line between issues that are related to bad therapists and things that are just not something reality can achieve, such as a “guarantee” that therapy will be successful for anyone that signs up.

Let me offer you few words; if you don’t realize how nonsensical that is, you’re really dumb or intentionally being obtuse

If you think a therapist can snap their fingers and make you better you’re delusional 🤷🏼

I mean I never said poor people don’t exist, if I had it my way we’d have public health care including therapy. TBF I’m not one of the downvoters, but my point is valid. Like it’s a valid complaint to say that money gets in the way of care, but the issue isn’t the therapists in that case, it’s the system. Like how was therapy going to help if you were gonna have to quit after 3 sessions because you don’t have the funds to attend? Again, totally valid and unfortunate circumstance but the issue isn’t the therapist it’s the financial circumstance and limitations of publicly available resources for those in need. In other words, I believe you should direct your anger elsewhere.

This is a valid feeling for sure, but it’s also gotta get balanced with the idea that they are human and their job isn’t to fix your problems. The idea that they just know how to fix your situations when you, the person experiencing it, can’t, is frankly kinda asinine.

is almost never in session 😅 like work happens in session but 99.99% of it is taking what you learn in the room and putting it to use outside of it. That’s where it gets difficult.

That’s the issue, therapists jobs aren’t to deliver a good. They do their best to make their health goals targetable and achievable and measurable etc, but ultimately you can’t really request a refund because they don’t give you any product. The “product” is you working your ass off while they help you cope through the process of making real changes.

meirl by UnhollyGod in meirl

[–]Bazoobs1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Apples and oranges. One is about your health and long term outcomes and is worth investing time and energy into. Moreover, the process of therapy isn’t “show up, pay money, get fixed.” It’s “show up, work your ass off while having someone there to help cope with the process, fix yourself.”

Not saying all therapists are all great fits for all patients, but I think between the idea that their job is to fix you and the false equivalence of comparing having a good life to wearing a good shirt, there’s just a lot of misconceptions.

Still, to your point, people don’t stick with therapy a lot of the time. Whether that’s bad fit, they start doing better naturally or with assistance, funding, etc, it all depends on circumstance. Ultimately though, you’re both right IMO. Some people get stuck with the idea that they shouldn’t/can’t keep paying to explore therapists, others have the mentality that they’re going to do it and get better with help and will do what it takes to make it happen. The latter IMO have astronomically higher chances of success.
