I remember the MLYLT simps attacking me (not knowing my own story) about how MLYLT's trauma was so unique and how DARE I suggest something like dietary interventions, abstaining from alcohol, sleeping according to circadian rythmn, stepcount, maybe considering religiosity, healthy and sustainable exercise habits, and looksmaxxing to gain social status could POSSIBLY be better solution than what she'd been doing for her mental health for years prior (circular ad nauseam talk therapy and psychiatric medication). In their perception, this was a gross dismissal of how severe and complex her trauma was (which naturally she adopted as a major part of her identity). I can't remember any of their screen names, but the irony of it will stick with me for a long time. I was more amused than rattled. By then I was recovered enough to not feel the need to inform them that I knew exactly what she was going through from first hand experience.

I'm glad that some more mainstream commentators are starting to acknowledge not only that a lot of therapy is complete bullshit, but can actually make people sicker. Mental health professionals have even less incentive to cure you than regular doctors, who frankly get a lot of undeserved flak (even from me). And if you are actually high functioning and not creating a lot of headache for a therapist during sessions, and thus are more capable of rehabilitation, they have even more incentive to keep you coming back to continue billing you. Thank god I had one very motivated professional who essentially told me "lmao you have a master's degree and have held multiple jobs for years, most of my patients can barely get out of bed or stop themselves from taking drugs or becoming homeless. I gotta put em on meds so they don't endanger themselves or people around them. You ain't sick. gtfo of my office and tell your mom you're ****ing off to china she doens't know **** she's a post menopausal ******ed normie" Most of them did not take this approach...

Saying "herp derp go to therapy" used to be this panacea that was doled out for whatever ails you. But then it was simultaneously used by the same people suggesting it as a cure as some sort of pejorative insult. Quite the contradiction... Slowly people are realizing that maybe therapist are not witch-doctor gods who can fix anything. A lot of them are pretty ****ed themselves and not exactly aspirational figures.

The very uncomfortable black pilling truth is that the way you feel about yourself is very frequently a reflection of how others feel about you and how they treat you. And how others feel about you is often the result of simple and shallow cognitive heuristics based on your external appearance and presentation. The very white-pilling and hopeful part of this is that you have a shockingly high efficacy over this. Low social status is not a mental illness and has a fairly easy cure of "look better" and there's tons of low hanging fruit you can pick on this front, particularly if you are an obese white female where cutting down the number of midnight trips to wendys is all you need to drop like 20lbs.

There was some other guy on here who's name I forgot who was into this whole therapy is the answer to all life's problems crap. worked at a bakery or smth I can't remember the name or much other details. Would post from a position of very high authority despite the fact that these methods of mental health rehabilitation had done little to meaningfully improve his situation.
