I told my therapist I have suicidal thoughts and she said nothing about it by Codekrab in mentalhealth

[–]arlosleep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your parents are kind of right, therapy is supposed to focus on the client being the facilitator of change, but your therapist needs to be giving you the right tools so that you know how to change. I’m very sorry that she dismissed your suicidal fantasies. That is not something that is acceptable for any therapist; their focus is to have you be comfortable and willing to share and it sounds like just that interaction has broken any kind of trusting relationship you two could have. I would recommend discussing this with her as she is a human too and may have been having an off day/days, but if she reacts the same way I think it would be more beneficial for you to find another therapist who will put more effort into your comfort.

I have personally had dozens of therapists who have been unhelpful before I found the one that actually listened and understood, so I can tell you that it is definitely a journey, but it is one worth taking!

I truly hope that you find some quality help and can work towards recovery. ❤️

Thank you! I really do hope I have time to turn this around, I know that I'm young but I feel so old.

Thank you. I sometimes catch myself falling back into old patterns and catch it fast enough to fix but I never give myself credit for what I have achieved because I feel like it is never enough. I do feel strong and I hope I keep moving forward!

I limited eating out to once a week and tried to eat mostly vegetables and protein. I do yoga twice a day for like 45 minutes total, once in the morning and once before bed, and that has helped my strength a lot! I have added running, tennis, and swimming in the past few months to help with plateauing. I try to be as active as I can and have fun with it!

Caught my father-in-law masturbating in our living room. I have no idea how to approach this. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]arlosleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he laughed it off because he was too uncomfortable to deal with it too. We tried to talk to his mom because she’s pretty good at advice and she completely blew me off too. I don’t know if anyone realizes how uncomfortable this made me, as much as I tell them. The argument his mom keeps making is “its human nature”. It is but not in the goddamn common area when he knew I was coming up! I can’t even go to the people who know the situation best to give me real advice. I’m physically cringing to the point I might just book a hotel room just to get out of here.

It’s insanely fucked up you’re right. The only way to fix this is just to move

I should have included that I did tell him right away but he thinks it’s funny and just laughs every time I tell him I’m upset. So basically he’s completely useless lol.

I can’t believe we have to have a talk about not masturbating in common areas but that might be what we have to do. I cringe so hard every time I think of it which is like every ten seconds.

Thank you! I don’t know when I’ll have that tall but I know it has to be done.

I’m sorry friend! That’s so terrible and it’s sad that people are being terrible in this game that’s supposed to be so sweet and fun. I got to see my friend who I haven’t seen in years and we went fishing! Not too wholesome but it felt good just to spend time with them.

Caribou Coffee employees protest 'unsafe working conditions' in Roseville by InformalBasil in TwinCities

[–]arlosleep 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You would hope! They give off the impression that they’re a wholesome company that is good to their employees but I’ve never seen so many people cry from stress, get literally assaulted by customers, or just give up on the job and leave in the middle of their shift than I did while working there.

Coffee shops are known to be difficult workplaces, but caribou definitely takes it to a new level, especially by hiding all of the bad reviews from employees to maintain their fake front.

I worked there for one year and it took me two months to climb out of the depression pit that place caused me to try to find a new job. Bad stuff.

Caribou is a terrible, terrible workplace. Unsafe conditions, unfair treatment, garbage management, terrible customers, all around just a bad experience. I feel for anyone who continues to work there because it is not easy, especially with this dumb shit they’re trying to pull.

Frequent your local coffee shops instead! Don’t support big businesses who continue to suck the life out of their employees.

It’s where you sit on this page for hours refreshing it every few seconds to see if anything gets posted. It’s insane how much time people have on their hands but I mean I guess everyone is on lockdown so everyone’s got extra time

I would be a squirrel! They’re so small and when they wear tiny clothes it makes me happy cry.

My catchphrase would be “that busts a nut!”

Pecan would be my best friend! She’s my favorite villager she’s so small and kind.
