    I couldn’t imagine a therapist this involved and passionate about minor cases of apathy and dark fantasies, which lets face it, is pretty much everyone right now.

    My last therapist used our 30 minutes a month to push his youtube channel and book.

    I could have said “I’ve imagined taking a flamethrower into my old workplace” and he would have said. “Wow, that reminds me of the topic of chapter twelve where we talk about motivational inputs and…”

    (I’ve also had great therapists, go get therapy you fucking losers, it helps, you will get better if you do the hard shit.)

    This doesn’t really happen in America. You have to have a plan and the means to do the plan, then they might commit you, or tell you to take one minute at a time.

      look at your current president, it could happen

      Also this is a usdefaultism because it assumes OP is american and the context applies to america only

        Are you sure this is usdefaultism, instead of merely stating that something doesn’t happen in America? If he were in Belgium and stated this doesn’t happen in Belgium, would you think he was assuming Belgium is default? Feels like you’re (ironically) assuming something that isn’t actually happening.
