As I've mentioned before, Stella dear, I would appreciate it if you didn't comment on my life as if you know more about it than I do.

Your last reply was to a personal post about my actual experience, FYI.

I've been noticing that. Several observations/experiences I mentioned seem to be, according to you, a "personal post about your actual experience". Okaaaaay...

[masquerading]

Thinking of seeing one and was wondering if any of yous had any experience with this. Specifically- How much of how you truly feel can you tell these guys without the white coats coming to take you (or your kids) away?

If you actually want an honest answer to this...

Tell them everything.  If you or your kids NEED to be taken away, particularly for the safety of said kids, then, for fuck's sake, let them.  If you're unscrewed in the gourd enough to be judged a danger, then why WOULDN'T you?

I did actually want an honest answer.
Thanks.

I am really not a danger to the kids nor myself. Just have alot of fucked up thoughts about humanity is all maybe.

Everybody does.  Hell, look around, here.

Assuming you don't tell anybody that you think humans should be used as a food source (have you SEEN the price of beef, lately??), and that you're considering changing the name of your kids to "Veal" and "Porkchop..."

Take it slow, shrinks know it's a trust thing, and SHOULD take time for you to get comfortable, anyway.

Good point.

Will definitely take it slow.
Thanks for the input Luna.

Why on Earth would you need to see a shrink about THAT?  If you WEREN'T thinking that the human race should be shot out of an airlock, THEN I'd worry.

Another valid point.

But It's starting to affect me more and more every day. I see all the shit that I never wanted to be a part of- the fucked up, run around, be a fucking spoke in the wheel sort of shit that I always told myself I would never be a part of. It seems I was lying to myself. Because I am finding that in order to live in the society we live in, my values and beliefs are being compromised. And it's driving me fucking nuts.

Also-I want to get unplugged from the nets a while but I work here and more so-when i do go out and see how Really Fucked Up Humanity is I end up just wanting to hide. When In Fact I Should Be Standing Up And DOING Something About It. Bleh.

I guess that's why we have forums too though,eh-To Rant and Remind us of what we need to be doing.

Um... no. The post you replied to was a post I made myself that was specifically about my personal experience. That's not open to debate.

[masquerading]

I have nothing to add to this conversation.  No.  This is not my first BBQ, and if anyone here thinks I'm dumb enough to get between Nigel & Stella, they have another fucking thing coming.

Just saying.

Agreed.

So-Hey-Thanks for all the input guys.
Some good posts in here that help.

Outcome: Fuck it- Cancelled my appt. for now.
Maybe another time for now-I'll just suck it in and deal-just like about 99% of the rest of everyone.

If it, or something similar, is bugging you next month I would suggest you go. If not, don't.

No input allowed that's not in total agreement with what you said.

That's not it at all. It's that it is, in general, pretty disrespectful to make comments on people personal stuff that implies that you know better than they do about their own lives. You have twice, now, tried to tell me that I would have done just as well without therapy. I am here to tell you that you are completely full of shit, have no idea what you're talking about, and every time you try to push that line you make yourself look a little bit more like a jackass.

Pls to point out where I said "Nigel, YOU would have done just as well without therapy."
Again, personalizing ITT.

Counselors are a complete waste of human skin, no point in anybody going to them who isn't trying to make a court case go away. The whole profession is a total farce. Either you're bad off enough for a psychiatrist or you're ok.

There.  Nigel falls into the category of "anybody".

That was early in the thread, before I knew that none of the ones that people I've known have dealt with were certified. When that was cleared up, I allowed that a competent one could do some good.
Nigel's taking stuff like "A friend probably wouldn't use a term like "boundary issues" but they might say something like "why'd you let it get to that point?" Same result." and somehow getting "YOU need to stay out of therapy" out of it.
Looking over this thread, I would rather suggest she stay in therapy.

I'd like to ask you - and Nigel - as a personal favor, to let this drop.

You both may now tell me to fuck off and die in a fire.
