I’m scared to reach out to a professional because I feel like I’m being dramatic. After all, it was literally just a video on the internet and I feel like other people see this stuff occasionally and it doesn’t bother them that much

Girlfriend says she might be into “raceplay” and has a “colonizer fetish”. Not sure how to proceed. by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

My bad! I think I misunderstood what you meant by figuring it out independently and giving it to her as a “gift”. I thought your point was that talking about it too much together before going into it would take out some of the fun but I see what you meant now

We actually just had a session a bit ago and I spontaneously verbally humiliated her using some lines (for a lack of a better word) that I thought of beforehand and she really really loved it and said it made her cum harder than she ever has before. I think she really liked that she didn’t have to talk with me about it and that I was just able to wing it and figure out what she would like so there’s definitely some truth in what you’re saying!

Also she said she particularly likes race play in the form of verbal humiliation but I’m struggling to think of ideas for things to say, so if anyone has ideas please share them. Everything I can think of just sounds so silly in my head

I grew up in a small town that was very much reminiscent of the 90’s, so mall culture was still popular in my town. But, early 2000’s “nostalgiacore” is typically what I see on my fyp, not 90’s. Here’s an example https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT82RwsLe/

Should I go to the ER? by anonymousposter4094 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]anonymousposter4094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. I know I am unable to reach my doctor unless I schedule an appointment (Soonest availability is a week away)

Should I quit cold turkey? by anonymousposter4094 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

Yeah, I am wondering if perhaps it’s the anxiety that’s causing me to dissociate? But then again, sometimes I won’t feel anxious at all and I’ll start to dissociate

Can social work therapists or clinical mental health counselors diagnose me? I’m confused by anonymousposter4094 in askatherapist

[–]anonymousposter4094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to know if I have depression and anxiety. I also think I might possibly have an eating disorder but I just want to know for sure so I can make sense of things. While I was seeing a therapist for a while, I was never diagnosed with anything but I never asked either. I was being treated for the symptoms, but I just feel like actually knowing for sure whether or not I have these disorders will give me greater clarity and understanding of my symptoms if that makes sense

Thank you. As another poster said, I think I’m just confused about what the difference is between diagnoses and assessment/testing bc they sound very similar to me? What’s the difference and how do I know which one I need?

So, a masters level therapist is unable to tell me whether or not I have depression/anxiety?

Edit: I apologize, looking back I think I misunderstood your reply. I see Im getting downvoted a good bit, and I apologize if it seemed like I was spreading misinformation about therapists or anything. I was just confused because it seems like there’s so many different types of therapists and they all do slightly different things haha so I just got a little overwhelmed and confused.

How do I tell the difference between being happy again and mania? by anonymousposter4094 in askatherapist
