So jelly 😌

Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don't like society. It just sees me as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

therapy costs money

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I'd be down for making that an annual tradition.

Therapy doesn't help much if you have no power over the root cause

Depends on the kind of "lost at sea"

In a perfectly functioning oceanworthy boat stocked with food, but the GPS fell overboard and I have no idea where I am so I'm going to sail West as much as I can until I hit land, then sail counter-clockwise around the coast until I find something I can identify or someone I can ask? Sure let's go.

Ship sank, I'm alone in an inflatable raft with a flare gun and a blinkenlight? Nah you go ahead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ill still sign up. Rafty and Flare Gunny sound like great new friends and we would have all sorts of adventures.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can think of two adventures you'll be going on a lot: Sunburn and wave slosh. Meh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Cant forget about dehydration, starvation, sepsis, and hysteria!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Here’s my thing with therapy. I know the issue, i know what’s wrong with me, and I know what I’m supposed to do to fix it, i just don’t. I can’t see how therapy will help beyond what I’ve got

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

You can talk about why you dont want to fix it. Maybe there's something there. Sometimes there's just a hump you need to get over and wont unless you push yourself.

If not you can kind of live in that space for a while and see if the barrier is even real in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

I think I'd rather be lost at sea than be anywhere near any portion of our current civilization.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Then again, have you seen reality?

This is therapy. if I could just drop out of everything for 29 days I’d come back refreshed and Zen as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's about 1 standard stint in rehab where I'm from

Isn’t that called vacation? Just don’t bring any communications device ;)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I don't know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I'm in the US, and yes I'm jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

You do realize that is a comedy site, right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

But that's the only nonpartisan site I could find!

[–] [email protected] 51 points 6 days ago (3 children)

"men hate therapy"

Yeah not really. You just get beaten down after trying several therapists and paying a lot and not feeling better. Even if you went through that once, it's very discouraging.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not to mention it just doesn't work as well for men as it does for women.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Please say why it is that you believe that. It's a fascinating claim.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Agreed. What? I've never seen a study stating this. And anecdotally, it worked fine for me, once I found the right therapist, the first two were meh, not a good fit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Probably not what you want to hear, it really sucks to be in that spot, but it is possible to find good ones! I went through 3 therapists over the course of a couple of years before finding one that helped me.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I have a great therapist these days who has helped me a lot. I still hate therapy. I did finally figure out why, though. Because, with the exception of therapy and a couple of really great people, everyone I've ever been vulnerable in front of has weaponized it against me. So even though I know my therapist wouldn't actually do that I'm still waiting on it to come back and bite me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Yeah, the weaponization factor is real.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y'all women don't have a good track record in my book.

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they're grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.

Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.

Therapy, trying to make you seem ok with the absolute bullshit you have to deal with which you know is wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I just go camping or backpacking out of data range. But his way works too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Is this the guy who fell off a boat and claimed he built a raft and ate a stick and befriended a dolphin or something? There was a tumblr post about this a while back that was quite funny, there were a lot of inconsistencies in the guys story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

hey we need a rest from capitalism and zoom meetings.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Would pay to "get lost at sea for 29 days".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Depends on which is cheaper tbh.

[–] [email protected] 184 points 6 days ago (3 children)

No, we'd rather be lost at sea than have to participate in the broken society that makes people need therapy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

100%

But also, go to therapy

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

I lack the photoshop skills, but uh

The 'plap plap GET PREGNANT' meme, but with a therapist shouting:

'accept what you can't change'

'don't blame yourself for things out of your control'

'oh, the copay is $125'

'you missed the last appointment so we charged you for not canceling in advance'

'im worried you're not taking our sessions seriously'

sorry psych professionals, there is no ethical therapy under capitalism

Ok, I may not have great photoshop skills, but I do have a knowledge of ancient memes:

Just goes to show how insane society has become that you'd rather go to therapy than take a 29 day break by being lost at sea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Society hasn't become that bad. It's becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Being lost at sea is reality. Society is the dream

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 days ago

29 days away from reality is therapy.

There's a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It's maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.
