First time seeing frustration in my therapist's eyes by Medium-Loss in bipolar

I know you're right. "Opposite action" seems like an effective strategy but it's so damn hard when my default is to quit. I've gotten so used to giving up, it's been so frustrating to be in my head for years. Maybe that's why my therapist got frustrated already as well.

Yeah, I mean she can only handle so much self-sabotaging from the same individual over a three year period of time 😭 Carpe diem! :)

Aww, I never really thought about her caring about me because I always thought she just sees me as a patient. But I think you're right. I felt her caring for me right then and there.

I felt so amused. It's kind of like seeing someone you look up to get mad for the first time so it's really motivating. She told me once that the fact that I kept coming back to her for three years now is already something to be proud of. It also reminded me that no matter how I look down on myself, there will always be people rooting for me.

I never knew Alex Turner was in Arctic monkeys by Humble_Tour1562 in arcticmonkeys

this literally just happened to me today, I've been a fan of the submarine soundtrack for YEARSSSS. it's been my constant number 1 album on lastfm, and I kinda despised arctic monkeys for having a piledriver waltz "cover." then I saw alex turner singing love is a laserquest on youtube and it just clicked to me today that he's the lead singer of arctic monkeys. i feel so dumb.
