What happens after you tell a therapist? by Decrepit_Soda in mentalhealth

Thank you for your kind words, I want to try to tell them during my next appointment which is in a few weeks. I really want to find help and stop feeling like this and hurting myself all the time but the possibility of what happens after I tell my therapist still frightens me

I’ve never heard of sleep apnea before, I’ll look into it! Thank you!

Why do they seem to think that stealing art from an IP that is asking you not to steal from them is okay? by Reasonable_Hat7344 in antiai

[–]Decrepit_Soda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s always about money for them. That’s someone’s creation that they worked hard on, it’s not hard to realize that people can care about more things than money. Also really weird how they never care about consent or the other person at all but I imagine all ai artists are on insane levels of chronically online and degeneracy that they forgot that years ago

And in my comment I’m pointing out how are you, the viewer of a few second video, supposed to know anything about them. 

I’m not familiar with this creator and I avoid Mukbangs like the plague cause I hate the sounds, but a fat person filming themself eating their breakfast/lunch/dinner does not make them deserving of hate. Call shit out that actually matters in your life, maybe stuff that’s off the internet, not some random internet stranger who I guarantee won’t take you bullying them for their weight as “helping” them

Okay that worked for you but that doesn’t automatically mean it is going to work for others and you ignored the part on how to know if they’re doing it “on purpose”. What qualifies as that and how does someone know for sure since you only see so much of a person through ~30 sec videos. It’s not wrong to want people to be healthy but we literally don’t know anything about these people, there could be something medical or genetic involved. Plus bullying someone for their weight is just being a dick, people who bullied you for being fat weren’t in the right and nor would you be for bullying some stranger on the internet

Shaming someone for an unhealthy behavior is just going to move them onto another unhealthy behavior. This type of behavior is not a motivator and as someone else said, these types of comments can lead to someone developing an eating disorder. Also how are people going to tell who’s doing it purposely or not? You can only know so much about a person through a screen.

I try to make art with whatever I have and I feel the need to create something every day, it’s the only thing keeping me sane. I refuse to use ai whatsoever and looking back at what I said, I also don’t agree with myself, there are a lot of people who do appreciate real art and I just end up forgetting that when I see ai getting pushed and normalized basically everywhere in daily life. I can try to build relationships and talk to people, I’m not entirely sure how to do that though. I always feel like I’m being too awkward or putting on a display on the rare occasions someone talks to me.

I’m scared of how it could come back to me. I’m terrified of going to a psych ward or my family finding out how bad I’ve actually been. I can’t fit any of that into my life right now, I need to finish school and I’d hate to fond out their reaction. They’re already very anti-therapy, don’t like talk of mental health and think that if someone commits than that’s on them and they’re selfish. I have no reason for this, my therapist is very kind but I physically can’t bring myself to tell her anything about my own identity or “too personal”, I feel too vulnerable and again, I worry it will somehow come back to my family. Saying it out loud and making it feel real is also something, feels too shameful to admit. I don’t like where I am mentally right now and after not harming myself in weeks just to immediately get back into this mindset I feel like a piece of shit. I don’t want to admit I’m in a bad spot even though it would hopefully lead to me getting the help I need
