I have composed a piece of written musings on the tools choice in clay sculpting which I put on a display on a public internet forum.
I have received following advice: Go seek therapy.
However upon checking my vaults it has become apparent that they are barren.
What should I do in this situation?
Since OP admitted this was “made-up clickbait and satire,” I’ll just comment for anyone stumbling upon this. You can:
- Check out a free self-help CBT book from the library. Search online for free ones, too: https://cogbtherapy.com/free-online-cbt-workbook
- Get free evidence-based practices that you can do alone at ggia.berkeley.edu
- Get free guided mindfulness meditation audio/video from https://www.uclahealth.org/uclamindful/guided-meditations
- Use health insurance to safely get transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): https://clinicaltmssociety.org/find-a-clinic/
- Seek help in !mentalhealth@lemmy.world or !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone.
This post smacks of disingenuousness.
At the risk of being impolite, it reeks of cuckoo.
The solution really depends on the problem. We don’t know why they told you to seek therapy.
Doesn’t matter, it was a made-up clickbait and satire to have some serious talk in the comments about these things
So this post is just a platform for you to vaguely criticize therapy? It sounds like it’s financially out of reach where you live and that sounds like a societal issue. But I will happily admit that a lot of what people depend on therapy could likely be much more cheaply given by having a stronger social network.
No I just want to talk, there is no malice nor ill intent
I think your post was quite unproductive as it failed to clearly state a problem then. Your post essentially boils down to “I said a thing and people on the internet trolled me for it - how am I supposed to afford the therapy they recommended” while also constructing a scenario where the therapy you were recommended was clearly just an offhand troll doing troll shit.
I’d reinforce that a strong social network can help alleviate a fair amount of our dependency on therapy if we’re focused on the cost aspect and I’m not certain what other discussion you were attempting to spur.
I don’t have any friends whatsoever since like 10 years tbh and honestly never had one. Just acquaintances and frenemies but right now I haven’t talked to anyone except family since years I think
So I guess my ways of communicating may be a bit strange and look like trolling when they are honest and there is no ill intent or malice
I like to talk online sometimes and have responses I can interact with. All cool I hope my bro take care 🥰 and chill
Therapy will be a useless tool to combat mental health until thrapists can legally decide the government has to pay welfare to people who they decide can not handle 40hrs a week.
Therapy can’t fix the main economic stressors that are the cause of most people’s mental issues.
That’s what I have been thinking. Therapy could be a way to make the masses more productive and obey the senseless laws of society
This post makes no sense and has zero context. What clay sculptures? What? Huh? Why are they saying to seek therapy? Maybe provide even the minimum of context? I didn’t see how anyone could possibly give you advice based on the information you provided here.
Translation: I have written a post about my thoughts online. I was told to seek therapy, but I don’t have enough money to pay for one. What now?
Tis a joke.
