And then if you "just go to a therapist" or a psychiatrist they're like "wait, woah hold up now I don't have any time to actually TALK to you about any of these problems or explain how to deal with them just take these pills and when they don't work we'll give you some stronger one. Oh yeah, they have the same side effects as what you came in here for, oops oh well bye bye."Mental health advocacy is crap even on a smaller, more interpersonal level. It’s always “just reach out, say something, get help” until someone actually tries to do so and just gets dismissed with “go get a therapist, I’m not professionally trained to help you”. I get that there’s shit outside of an average person’s scope that you can’t deal with; and that there are people who have real self-sabotaging complexes that just want to whine about everything and be a helpless victim, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t shitty to dismiss people if they try to confide in you. I really hate how saying “just go get a therapist, bro” has been normalized because it encourages this really shitty attitude of “I can absolve myself this difficult situation completely by passing it off to someone else with really plastic, robotic language”. Everybody wants someone else to be supportive and there for them when not feeling well until it’s the other way around and you’re suddenly expected to...I don’t know, just be supportive in a relationship? You don’t need to be a professional or have a degree to just try and use some interpersonal skills when your friends or family are dealing with something uncomfortable. Current mental health advocacy encourages people to be so selfish and one-sided.
I... Thanks I guess?
