Therapy is for the rich.
Scraping by week to week I don’t have the money to fund exceptionally well off professionals who don’t really do a lot of actual work for that money.
Everywhere I’ve lived has had free counseling services. I have to remind these people that those exist when they keep talking at me with their problems.
And when their appointment in 17-23 months finally gets around, I’m sure they’ll enjoy counseling!
I know I did. It was just a bitch and a half to get seen
Better than me having to use my counseling sessions to deal with the extra, one-sided emotional labor.

I cant afford therapy. Any other questions?
When I was a kid there was a stigma against therapy; people thought it was for the insane. At some point it flipped and not going to therapy became a red flag for many.
I have been to lots of therapy and had necessary medicine gatekept by it when i couldnt afford it. There should be no stigma to it. There should no stigma to not going to it. It can be great, and it can hurt people.
Lets not dictate to others whether or not they should go.

This here. Therapy is a western hobby, and an American one in particular. Other cultures have their own ways of dealing with these matters. Western-style therapy imposed on them often causes more damage than letting their own processes play out. Are they perfect? No. But nor is the western-style therapy culture.
Is it wrong of me to see this as a red flag?
If someone has access to therapy and they admit to having mental issues of some kind but they just say they’re going to work it out on their own then I usually start distancing myself.
Obviously, they are relying on their friends to fix them!
Oh, you’re not equipped to be someone’s therapist, even though you are being as supportive as possible? Why do you hate the mentality ill?!
I didnt feel like it helped me but that was probs the therapist and also me not being quite there.
Ill try again, but if I cant find anything < $100 I’ll just idk watch youtube video advicr channels on whatever is bothering me.

I do therapy when I can afford it. When I can’t, I try to do a lot of self discovery, learning myself, being aware of the things I’m doing and why I’m avoiding things. And then I try to keep track of them for when my finances allow me to do therapy again.
