Is this what you call “tuff only in Oklahoma”?
I always used to say to other guys who were freaking out about something on a job site “HEY! YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER WORK AND CRY IN YOUR TRUCK LIKE THE REST OF US!”
9 times out of 10 they laughed and calmed down a bit. And like it happens when your working camp jobs and long hours, everyone gets frustrated.

Meanwhile, boomers rev their Harley Davidson motorcycles to drown out their thoughts.
I know the post is a joke, but millenial is the generation that paved the way to normalising mental health and therapy. Of course, not everyone would be on board. I know some of my peers who are stuck to the old ways and probably too afraid to even do therapy without even considering they don’t have to tell someone they went to therapy.
you guise have vehicles?
I ride a bicycle in traffic in a city that is ranked pretty bad for drivers across the continent. I’m not sure if that is therapy or an indicator of needing better therapy.
I do both. Need all the help I can get.
It’s the days you rawdog life and go home without music. Thems the days.
Go to therapy y’all. Even if you had a perfect upbringing and zero trauma or adversity, you can still unlock more of your own potential and understand yourself better. Even an imperfect outlet like a NA group setting like is better than white knuckling it.
Therapy costs money. What’s it gonna do for me that’s worth the cost?
Depends on your damage.
Too much of it and yet I also don’t care too much anymore. I’ve learned to just let things go. Forgive? Maybe. I’ll be nice to you. Forget? No, I won’t be betrayed twice by the same person.
Not trying to be a dick, but it’s gonna sound it: Yes, absolutely, just by that comment there are benefits worth the price. I hope you are able to seek the help you need dude.
Till then try not to close down, it’s hard to open again after.
I’m only closed to people who have deleted several years of my life expectancy tbh. I’m pretty open to most people. Perhaps one day I’ll have time to get therapy. Till then I’ll have to vent to friends and strangers on the Interwebs. At least my friends and family are very supportive, so they know what’s been going on.
Sure, compared to food or shelter it’s in the ‘nice to have’ category. But for me at least it’s shown a lot of things that I would never have understood or probed deeply enough to address. Better relationships, more understanding of self/finding your actual self, handle adversity better, etc etc
You don’t have to sign up for endless sessions, you can quite viably do a few introductory sessions and ask for takeaway homework/tools to use. Return as needed or when you’ve found a new topic that you feel needs work.

That “unlocking your full potential” sounds more like personal coach pseudoscience than actual medical practice, though.
Be sure to go to actual collegiate professionals with a certified degree in psychology or psychiatry.
you can still unlock more of your own potential and understand yourself better
Which is why I avoided saying “full potential” like it’s a life panacea and any failure to achieve 100% is your personal failure instead of the program’s.
Yes please only go to board certified professionals for mental health and/or therapy, and please please puhhlease don’t make an LLM or authority figure like a priest your therapist…
I don’t disagree with what you said, but most therapists will have a degree in counseling or social work. Psychologists and psychiatrists usually do not work as therapists, although there are exceptions.
Laughs from the generation where everybody and their brother installed an amp and a couple of 12-in kickers in their car.
Well 4 12 inch Pyles and Miami Bass Wars in the cassette player but yeah totally …
non-secured bandpass box with 2 15’s and a ungodly oversized amp hastily wired in place, all in the trunk of a clapped out Chevy Lumina blasting Crazy Town - Butterfly has entered the conversation…
I think I knew you in high school.
this is also how we deal with vehicle issues
What vehicle? I do the same, but at home.
Bought too many avocado toasts, had to sell “the vehicle”. What do I do?
Stolen from Gen-X.
Lame
Yeah, I’ve been doing this since 1987.
That sounds all to familiar
Millennials damn near invented therapy with all their mental wellness shit—tf is this post?
