In a complete departure from my norm.

I hate alternate Thursdays. I've been talking to therapists for a few months short of two years and I've faced pretty much one source of trauma in the whole seventeen years I've been alive. I'm running out of topics here, people. All we seem to be doing is going in circles around the current events in my life. Like today. We spent most of the

...I don't like them. They are stupid. And assume anything and everything negative. On the one hand, you'd think they'd be happy to claim you as cured--but on the other, there's all the money to be made. I am not a fan. Self help is the best help, I guess. To me, anyway.

Their habit of assuming the negative where others don't is usually why you start going to them instead of just talking to other people, I think. But emotional/psychological therapy is part of the standard treatment for severe trauma patients. That's...pretty much the only reason I even started going in the first place, which helped. Now it's just dumb.

Echoing the general opinion: the only doctor I've ever gone to didn't know how to deal with a strongly Christian patient. She just thought I was delusional.

Guess how long that lasted.

See, I could understand pulling the delusional card if by "strongly Christian" you meant "raging Evangelist who believes that God is working through them, like directly through them BE HEALED OF YOUR SINS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO TOUCHES YOU THROUGH ME." Possibly cue shoving someone to the ground and watching them convulse in the name of God.

But if you fell into that category, I would be ignoring you for my own sanity right about now instead of replying to your comment at the ass crack of dawn.

Therapy. It's so chic. But at least your doctor didn't try to suck you into regular visits for nothing.

Thanks. It's nice to feel like I've got most everything in working order. Even if it needs a little tuning.

I've never been to a psychiatrist. What happens if you start making stuff up?

The animation in that is really cute. "How are you holding that pencil?" Heh.

[towalkon]

Not much. If you're convincing, it depends on what you say. If you're not, you just get the kinds of looks your parents gave you when you did something stupid as a kid.

I kind of love it for being like a less religious version of Veggietales.
