In my dreams, you lay your sorrow on the table, and the air between us is soft and we have time.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
I think I may have ADHD but talking about it with therapist hasn’t been much help. Rehash of focus harder , do more exercise, check your diet . paying attention and not stimming for even a minute is hard even with those changes.
your therapist sucks and is trying to gaslight you out of having symptoms. would highly recommend getting a new therapist who specializes in that sort of thing, bc constant invalidation from an authority figure isn’t good for you!!
Frustrating since other mh professionals recommend the same things
yea… a lot of therapists are trained in cbt, which operates under the assumption your problems aren’t real problems. so if your problems ARE real problems, they end up just gaslighting/invalidating you. it sucks! but it’s a product of capitalism just wanting everyone to be a good worker drone, so idk what i expected
“just do precisely what your condition makes impossible. that’ll be $200”
