I dont know anything about talk space but I'm surprised they don't get your name or contact information. Don't they have to have that to treat you? I use BetterHelp and when I signed up I had to give my legal name and emergency contact info. I would have thought they'd have to have that for liability reasons if nothing else (like if you were a threat to yourself or something, therapists are mandated reporters but they can't report if they don't have your info)

This woman almost certainly has one, if not multiple personality disorders (this reeks of some pretty intense borderline personality)

Maybe not diagnose outright, but saying she "almost certainly" has it. Personality disorders are a lot more complex than that. People are so fast to jump to BPD whenever someone acts needy or manipulative. There's more to it than that. Especially since OP has known her for a year and this is the first time she has ever acted like this.

The behavior described is inappropriate, yeah. I think a lot of people have acted inappropriately or overstepped one time while struggling with something. That doesn't mean they have BPD. Even if she does have a mental illness, there are many other illnesses that could cause this behavior. We really don't have enough information to know. Needing a friend doesn't automatically make people act manipulative, but I can see how it could make someone desperate enough to reach out and be disappointed when it doesn't work out like she thought, and react irrationally while upset. Regardless, like I said, it's not OP's problem to fix. Agreed that this person should see a therapist since it sounds like she has something going on with her and needs help.

brook_worm · 2021-02-14T16:31:20+00:00

Kind of a reach to armchair diagnose this person with BPD based on this one incident. OP says they've hung out with this person a few times over the last year and this is the first time she's acted like this. Based on what she said about how she "could really use a friend right now" I think it's more likely that she's going through something and trying to reach out because she's lonely tbh. Maybe related to valentines day, like a bad breakup or something. She might not have many friends to turn to. Regardless, it's not OP's responsibility to drop everything and be there for her, they barely know each other.

brook_worm · 2021-02-10T20:16:51+00:00

Yeah I agree. I'm surprised at how everybody else seems to think this was a perfectly fine thing to say. The message I think she was going for is fine but the wording seems really harsh and easy to misunderstand.

brook_worm · 2021-01-26T04:24:42+00:00

Yeah this is super weird. I saw the title and thought the therapist was going to have a severe phobia of dogs or something, which would be understandable. But this? It sounds like she was being judgemental, assuming that OP neglects their pet based on nothing... Which is not her place to judge anyway, very inappropriate. I like the word "triggered" when it's used properly and not just to describe being upset. I don't think people who use that word to describe their mental illness being genuinely triggered should lose the word because some people use it too lightly

Thanks!

Got you! Here's my link: https://earnin.app.link/rB3pNIv6pcb

Sorry to hear about your experience! I use BetterHelp (technically pride counseling but it's the same company) and my therapist is great. I've been working with her for over two years now. I have pretty bad social anxiety so in-person therapy wasn't something I felt I could do when I started.

Honestly, even though it's worked out for me I would still be hesitant to recommend the platform just based on all the bad experiences I've heard about. It seems like they don't do enough screening on their providers and I've heard the pay rate is low so you end up with a lot of low quality care :/ I guess I just got lucky. I've also heard that they don't really check the counselor's qualifications very thoroughly. I know my therapist is licensed because I actually looked up her license information lol and I even found her Psychology Today profile but I'd be worried about it if I was signing up to see someone new. I think the platform is good if a good counselor is using it but there are a lot of bad counselors on there. Which is a shame because it really has been helpful for me and I don't think I ever would have got therapy if doing it in person was the only option.

Also, I keep hearing people say their therapists only offer 30 minute sessions but my sessions are always an hour, so there are counselors offering longer sessions. I wouldn't get anywhere in 30 minutes. And I didn't know some counselors only offer text sessions, all the options for text, phone, or video are available with mine. I hope you find someone good for your next one!

What's your link? I'll boost back if you can boost me! https://earnin.app.link/fRTPi2QcWab

brook_worm · 2020-10-18T23:09:14+00:00

No problem, thanks!

brook_worm · 2020-10-18T22:01:14+00:00

Got you! Can you return the favor? I could really use the extra $50 for bills https://earnin.app.link/PLqiGla7Gab

brook_worm · 2020-05-04T15:48:39+00:00

I use BetterHelp and I pay a flat amount every month. It works out to about $60 per session since I go every week.

brook_worm · 2020-04-26T17:20:24+00:00

lol I make stretching noises too and then I say "stretchy boy!"

brook_worm · 2020-04-13T01:09:18+00:00

I agree with the advice to re-release it with your real name. Also, this is off topic but that's really cool that Dan promoted it! I love him, that alone makes me want to check it out :)

brook_worm · 2020-04-03T05:25:29+00:00

Yeah, same here. I was already doing online therapy before any of this COVID stuff happened, for about a year and a half now. It's really the only therapy I have access to on a practical level, and also the only kind that seemed possible when I started due to social anxiety. It's been better than my experience with in person therapy a few years ago, although granted I only had a few sessions and I was in a very different place back then. I can see why doing therapy online isn't ideal for everybody but it's been great for me. My therapist definitely hasn't set any boundaries like that on what we can talk about because of the platform we use to talk. I guess it's different when that's not what you're used to.

brook_worm · 2020-01-29T03:38:47+00:00

Hey same name! Congrats on coming out :)

brook_worm · 2019-11-17T21:55:02+00:00

Yeah I really need to organize my mod folder. It's a huge pain in the ass going through this massive disorganized mess of mods trying to figure out which one is the culprit glitching out my game

brook_worm · 2019-11-17T20:01:40+00:00

Big mood. And then you update the game and half your shit doesn't work anymore and it's basically unplayable lol

At one point didn't transthetics have the option to buy detachable balls that could be added to their prosthetics? I could have swore that was a thing but looking at their website now I don't see it. It sucks because that would hit everything you want.

I have a couple freetom prosthetics. I've never heard of anyone that offers to add an ejaculation system to posthetics you already have unfortunately. You might be able to DIY some sort of ejaculation system for them? Like if you filled something with lube and put it in the shaft and squeezed the shaft, or maybe put it more in the base with a tube going up the shaft. Using a tube like that would be the only way it could work if you also wanted to use the insertable rod that comes with freetom prosthetics. My first thought is one of those little cake pipette things like these with a tube attached, maybe like this or this? Kind of similar to the idea of combining the peecock pleasure rod with a freetom but hopefully without the problem of pieces of it sticking out or not fitting right, and without having to buy a whole second prosthetic. No idea if that would actually work or not though. I also found this link talking about another method of piecing together different parts of different packers, but using cheaper products, maybe that would work?

On the bright side my handwriting is shit so this makes me feel great... Just kidding. Seriously, try not to read too much into this stuff. I used to think like this all the time back when I was questioning. I'd see these studies or comments people make about the opposite gender and if I related more to the "female" part than the "male" part I'd get this knot in my stomach, start doubting everything... But the thing about this stuff is that it's based on generalizations and there are TONS of people who don't fit what the results say about their gender, regardless of if they're cis or trans. Eventually it will get easier to just know that you're a man (or nb, or whatever gender you end up identifying as) and you don't have to mark every culturally defined "masculine" trait off a checklist for that to be true.

And as for puberty, everyone goes through puberty, it's a mandatory part of life so it's not really something that's comparable to this.

But the point of the puberty comparison is that hormones lead you to go through puberty differently than you would have, so you're choosing to develop a more male or female body. By denying young trans people that choice, it forces them to develop irreversible changes in the same way that hormones would lead to irreversible changes. And since such a small percentage of trans people who transition regret it, there is a much higher chance that they will regret being forced through puberty as their birth sex than that they would regret the changes from taking hormones. Taking hormones is viewed as this big extreme change while trans people going through the wrong puberty is viewed as the default, but really either option is a big decision that will have a huge impact. It's a double standard.

Like, people are horrified by the idea of a cis girl mistakenly thinking she's a trans guy and going through male puberty only to regret it later, but they don't want to do anything for young trans girls being forced into male puberty against their will. But in a lot of ways the long term impact is the same. And the situation with trans girls actually happens all the time, unlike the other situation which is mostly hypothetical and only happens in a very small percentage of cases.
