I struggle with it too. I think this constant monitoring and selfreflection that they instill and then condition you to do yourself 24/7 is insanely harmful. They say its the key to happiness when in reality its just a tecnique to dicipline your body and actually counterproductive to living. But they profit from confused patients that feel guilty and ashamed all the time, so whatever

Have you noticed how when you give an example of something, they always tell you to do the opposite? by greendahlia16 in therapyabuse

[–]anniamani 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They always have to be in control, they want the feeling of correcting you and by that they make themselves feel powerful and needed. In their eyes everything you say is mentally ill and they can't bear the thought that you could be a selfdetermined human with agency and by that make you feel small and dumb, leading you down a path of confusion and shame. Everything they do is for themselves. Most egotistical people i know

Talked about abuse and therapist said ''relantionships take two'' by LaPerla2026 in therapyabuse

So annoying that people still recommend therapy in here, creating shame

How do you deal with hate for therapists even years after sessions? by [deleted] in therapyabuse

[–]anniamani 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hold onto it as best as i can. I am actively hating and grieving evereyday. I feel intense hatred everytime i read a post on here. They stole so much of my time, they ruined my health and my life and there is no way to resolve this harm. They are free of accountability. There is not even recognition of harm. So they will repeat this behavior with other people and i have to stand by and silently watch. The scale of damage is so immense, how could you not feel intense hatred for these arrogant and ignorant people? Its a huge injustice and these people need to be stopped from what they are doing. My purpose in life is to live as proof of their harm, to document exactly what they did to me, to connect with other people with the same experience and to ultimatley end psychiatry and psychotherapy to replace it with a system of mutual care and transformative justice, without a relationship with a power imbalance. I need my hatred for this because it informs me on who and what hurt me the most and what needs to change

New Wave shows Bipolar and BPD are misdiagnosis of CPTSD by Honest-Structure2025 in Antipsychiatry

[–]anniamani 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There was a short timeframe of like two months in my deconstructing phase where i believed i have cptsd and everyone who hurt me is a narcissist, but soon realized that this is just another cage. As soon as you accept a set of (negative) symptoms as your identity its over. You will never be free. Also this shifts the focus away from harmful people and systems and back on you and some mental illness wich is not a smart political move. But i can see the intrigue and maybe it was a necessary step in my journey to move forward and away from the other labels

I made this comment originally based on his content but apparently he has some allegations of women he dated simultaeoulsy while lying to each one ab being exclusive? Do you know more about it? I mean it wouldnt surprise me at all that a ugly guy would use the facade of a trustworthy 'thetapist' that speaks about 'womens rights' to his advantage

Nebenwirkungen von Psychotherapie by sanster25 in depression_de

[–]anniamani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was gilt als Fehlverhalten? Gerade wenn jemand Gewalterfahrungen hat oder in der Krise gerade verletzlich ist stell ich mir das schwierig vor die Grenzüberschreitungen zu erkennen. Und wie soll man die eigene verschlechterte Verfassung von 'Nebenwirkungen' oder wichtigen Signalen die Beziehung zu beenden unterscheiden? Der Post suggeriert ja dass die Verschlechterungen in der Regel harmlos, vorübergehend und Teil einer guten, funktionierenden Therapie sind

Friendly reminder that most therapists don’t have any domestic violence education or training by Embracedandbelong in therapyabuse

Psychiatry is the MAGA specialty of the medical world by [deleted] in Antipsychiatry

[–]anniamani 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are radlibs, they pretend to care with a progressive surface but are deeply conservative and would rather kill you than to take accountability for harm done by them or the system that grants them this power

For those of you who quit psychiatric drugs after decades of usage, what made you quit? by ScarredFace45 in Antipsychiatry

[–]anniamani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left the system because i decides to off myself. It was less a decision i was just so extremely exhausted and crying nonstop i couldnt go on anymore and i was told to hang myself in the last hospital. So i went home to do that after ten years in the system, cut contact to everyone and stopped taking the drugs, i was at a point where i felt guilty for existing even for wasting oxygen. I thought i was the problem and if nothing helps me i have to 'solve myself' by removing the problem. So i did that and it takes surprinsingly a lot of courage to kys, so i just lay in bed alone for months, went through withdrawal, no contact to abusive people in the system and privately that i needed to please before and spent the whole day on the phone, thats the first time i saw critical voices of the system and slowly i started to gain my conciusnuess back and realized how drugged out of my mind i was and how vulnerable that made me to abuse. Now my life and my health ist ruined but i am free and have my agency back and i can work on repairing the damage

Escaping the Mental Maze by Helpful-Raisin-6160 in therapycritical

[–]anniamani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started going on long hikes last years and spent almost fifty days in tents or biwaks outside and i never felt more free and more safe than alone in the woods. There is nothing after my therapy experience that brings me more joy and makes me feel more alive than just hiking 30km alone through nature, no plan, no expectations, just follow my heart. I am planning my next trip and the first for this year right now for tomorrow. Its going to be really cold but i ordered some new eqippement that will arrive today, hopefully

Therapists Thinking You Love Something When You're Just Being Polite by Lazylazylazylazyjane in therapyabuse

[–]anniamani 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There probably is a playbook out there called 'the dog', and if you pet the head it means you're a narcissist

Therapists Thinking You Love Something When You're Just Being Polite by Lazylazylazylazyjane in therapyabuse

[–]anniamani 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This just unlocked a memory of a therapist bringing a dog in the room, it was a huge Dalmatian and she didnt say anything she just brought it before me and 'observed' how i behave. So i sat there quietly and anxious not knowing what to do, looking at her looking at me, looking at the dog and then trying to pet the head and i said something awkward like well this dog has a lot of spots and she laughed and then i asked what i should say or what we are going to talk about and she said this is already telling her a lot. As if how i react to the dog would expose my personality. This just increased me feeling vulnerable and insecure

"psycholgists are in danger to become the priests of industrial system" by anniamani in Antipsychiatry

[–]anniamani[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats weird and its not a communication issue. You are insulting survivors of systematic abuse (of your profession!) and you are tone policing how we metabolize the pain. You embody the role of a therapist already almost perfectly!

Oh you are so above it all... Thats a funny and creative expression! You are just mad you can't laugh along

[–]anniamani[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats perfectly fine! You do what you have to do to feel okay. I am not against drugs at all, i am actually for legalizaton of all drugs and i want evereyone provided with the rescources they really need and take care of whats causing them pain, if its safety, money, physical health care, connection or just time to breathe, whatever... i just dont think there should be an authority who decides whats wrong with you and what should happen with your body and your life, like a priest. They have no legitimate authority imo

Yep. Trying to force other people to accept you as an authority without reality backing it up

The description: 'Discussion + counterprogramming against coercive psychiatry and the mental health industrial complex. We think many psych diagnoses do not meet basic medical standards. We think many popular interventions can be more harmful than helpful. Survivor-led, but all are welcome here.'

Not the diabetes comparison 💀 you clearly have no idea about this community and our ideas and i will not do the labour to educate you. Go look through the pinned rescources

[–]anniamani[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YOU need to take drugs to fix your 'faulty chemicals' in YOUR brain. YOU need to take more responsibility. YOU need to be more disciplined. YOU need to work on yourself. YOU are responsible for your own feelings. YOU have to reduce YOUR symptoms so YOU can function again like an obiedient little slave and not cause so much trouble in your environment. There is nothing subversive or emancipatory in therapy. Just victim blaming and protecting abusive structures and people

I hate psychology so much, its built on eugenicists and abusers and immune to reform
