"But if I am to truly understand Christ, I must realize how Christ actually lived only his own life, and imitated no one. He did not emulate any model.

If I thus truly imitate Christ, I do not imitate anyone, I emulate no one, but go my own way, and I will also no longer call myself a Christian. Initially, I wanted to emulate and imitate Christ by living my life, while observing his precepts. A voice in me protested against this and wanted to remind me that my time also had its prophets who struggle against the yoke with which the past burdens us. I did not succeed in uniting Christ with the prophets of this time. The one demands bearing, the other discarding; the one commands submission, the other the will. How should I think of this contradiction without doing injustice to the either? What I could not conjoin in my mind probably lends itself to living one after the other."

Carl Jung. The Red Book: A Reader's Edition. p. 332.

It's funny, this whole "defund the police" debate has a way of showing people's true colors.

Right wingers have an absolute shit view of human nature as liars, killers, and thieves (based mostly on fear and projection). Left wingers have a rosy eyed view of human nature, mostly based on how they wish people were rather than how they actually are.


It's why right wingers think the purge breaks out the moment you get rid of the police, and left wingers think things will be safer without cops long term. Neither is true.

I don't understand how any right-thinking person can support abortion. It's abhorrent and repulsive and truly evil to me. I would be perfectly happy if the United States fought a civil war over the issue of abortion. I would be fine balkanizing the country and fighting an ugly conflict if, at the end of it, abortion was ended forever.

>> No.15642774

>>15642618
I agree. When I say neither is true, I was referring to both extremes - many conservatives will tell you that abolishing police will immediately lead to a purge-style movement or complete anarchy. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, but it's impossible to be a centrist these days.

The Right are more correct in that there are born psychopaths who you can't fix and the only real solution to these people is to kill or imprison them. The Left seem to think that it's always environment that causes this, and they have a bizarre tendency to fetishize these psychopathic criminals.

Also the effects of the abolition of police are entirely dependent on whether the population is legally allowed to arm and defend themselves or not. Allowing criminals to run free while the population are disarmed is anarcho-tyranny.

You know what I think is even worse? The recent wave of far right wingers (people you generally see on /pol/) who think abortion is tolerable since it reduces the population of black americans, citing statistics such as the fact more black babies are aborted rather than born in NYC. These people are essentially hinging their decision on whether the murder of babies is fine so long as it helps their own desired demographics. Then again, the founder of Planned Parenthood was infamously a eugenicist herself, so this isn't any entirely new phenomenon.

Just wrote this in another thread.
Alongside police reform, the concept of systemic racism is considered to be the main focus of current protests. This concept defines racism as an aspect of western socialization that is responsible for racial disparities. Statistics of these disparities and lessons on racist policies of the past are used to support the concept. The existence of these disparities and policies is well known and not likely to be denied; however, without current policies to point to, it is hard to grasp what is being fought against. The use of statistics implies that protesters are simply frustrated with reality, but the heavy focus on race will not ease their frustrations. Instead, protesters should look towards changes that improve the quality of living for all citizens of their countries. Racism is an issue that can only be solved by growth. Resistance will likely have an effect opposite of what is intended.

Ever since I had a bad trip while watching the news about Kobe Bryant's death, I've become obsessed with the thought of seeing your own death through obituaries and news articles. What would Kobe have thought if he, at a young age, away from the fame and the money he acquired, had a glimpse of the news talking about how he and his family would die in a tragic helicopter accident? What would the victims of a serial killer think of seeing themselves as part of a long list of horrifying crimes? What would be the reaction of a parent seeing that one day, far into the future, a horrible faith awaited his children?
The awareness of death taken to the next level of terror.

I read about how people die and how people suffer and how people kill. Random murders, natural disasters, accidents. I take all of this is in with horror. It leaves me feeling sick to my stomach and empty for hours. I get high and I imagine being the victim and the murderer, I try to get myself in the extreme position of the moments before death, feeling the hands of a killer wrapped firmly around my neck as he stares deep into my eyes with sexual gratification and joy. I see the smiling faces of people in photos, accompanied by family and friend, and then getting torn to pieces by lunatics days or months afterwards and only getting a pale reflection of the hopelessness and absolute terror that falls on the heart of the victim and the family of the victim who have to live on knowing how it all ended for their little daughter or their brother or their father.

Hobbies. Something like a sport or craft that has you in regularly meeting with the same group of people is the way you make new friends. Well, for most people the process is having friends introduce them to their friends and so on, but that isn't an option for everyone. I think friendships is basically a factor of:
>proximity
>shared interests
>personality
The more in common, the better. Structured hobbies get you proximity with regularity and at least one shared interest, so after that it is just personality and closing the gap on the other two. You may not make friends, but you should at least make acquaintances. It also gets you meeting quite a diverse group of people. You just need to go outside.

Yet you go to rural conservative communities, and they're proud of being virtually self-sufficient and having basically zero regular patrols. Republicans are anti-police when democrats are pro-police, which has been most of the time until the last 6 months or so (remember the term "police-state"?) Democrats become anti-police and suddenly republicans are pro-police. American politics is driven by ignorant people who think they're in a battle of objective good vs objective evil, there's a critical lack of relativism and pragmatism across the entire populace. They've literally been turned into a group of pawns that are easily whipped up by their leaders' words into any kind of incident that can be then used to convince them to believe and advocate anything the leaders' want. There is no rational output from the US populace and democratic process, it's just a game played by high-level mafias to collect information on and manipulate the general public.

That quote is nonsense. Carl Jung was no Christian preacher.

1. Corinthians 11: Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

None of us is wholly creative and individual and only instead follow and imitate the person above ourselves in a hierarchy. Son follows his father, the father his father (or fathers in the plural comprising of his ancestors, culture, traditions), and ultimately Christ following and doing the works of his Father, God. Thus we submit ourselves to those who come before us.

I'm 25 years old now. Is this the age where people discover their true political leanings or has 4chan finally completed it's job of radicalizing me?
I notice the change when I finally unfollow pages or get out of facebook groups that I was once a part of. Is SJW culture claiming and corrupting the things that I enjoyed, or is it just me getting tired of the mainstream narrative?
I’ve grown to despise (most of) the permaculture people, enviromentalists, artist peers, and I can’t see myself dating a girl around my age anytime soon. I don’t feel comfortable around them, and I’m sure I wouldn’t be welcome among them anyway once I open my mouth. It’s all a big echo chamber, and underneath the sensible, friendly facade, lies tirany and the desire to silence everyone else. The political agenda doesn’t have to be subtle anymore, it has now (or was I just late to realize?) asserted itself as the norm and the foremost value.
Once I wanted to become an illustrator. The desire to get away from everyone started to manifest itself in “homesteading fantasies” and now I’ve given up the art career to become an agronomist and na engineer. From artist to engineer, that’s kind of symbolic.

I grew up in a house with a very rationalist bent.
I remember one of my main worries as a kid was that we already reached the end of history and that there was nothing for me to do if I grew up to be an adult. When I saw stories on TV about corrupt politicians I immediately dismissed them, because I couldn't imagine a person in a position of power lying without being condemned and taken out of office.
More importantly, I always heard these people talking about the CIA and thought they were insane conspiracy theorists. When I heard rightwingers and leftists talking about CIA "psyops" I thought they were just raving ideologues that completely lost the thread. Especially when people like Alex Jones and others spoke about CIA smuggling cocaine and other shit - God, I thought they were legitimately losing their minds.
>mfw it turns out the media is all fake, that the CIA toppled entire nations, and conducted psyops on everybody including Americans, that the only voices of dissent allowed either on the right or left are useful idiots that aren't a threat to American imperialism

I'm starting to think that having romantic relationships and a family just aren't in my future. I struggle with intense body dysmorphia and dysphoria, I'm more self conscious about myself at 24 than I was as a teen. I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable in my body.

And that's okay. I'm trying to sublimate my energy in aesthetics. Photography, calligraphy, listening to the birds and the carriole near my house, the scent of plants. And of course, my trusty Pessoa.

All of my life is a cope and I'm becoming okay with that. I'm not suicidal like I used to be, thunderstorms and lilac bushes keep me from that now.

I'm not a person, not like the ones you see on the street, who you can tell have never really struggled or come to terms with their finitude, you can see it on their faces. They walk through life in a pleasant somnambulance. Never really conscious of anything except the next meal or fucking.

You're not ending a potential life with early abortion, you are killing an actual life. A human being doesn't begin to exist when the brain or heart develops but when the zygote is formed from the ovum and sperm. It's a biologically distinct human organism in the state of development and it's the recognition of this fact which leads people to have a problem killing them.

The brain and heart could theoretically stop functioning on a temporary basis, but this wouldn't mean we would stop being a human in those moments. There is something more than just the brain or heart that makes us living beings, and it's called "organic unity" which is when our organs operate together to keep us alive. We don't die when our brains cease to function but when the totality of our organs cease working together. So if we stopping existing as a person when we lose organic unity, it makes sense to say we begin to exist when we achieve organic unity.

When does this organic unity occur? At fertilization a person begins to exist, because at that time the unborn child's parts work together to keep the child growing and living. When the child becomes so complex that he needs a brain to survive, he will simply grow one, because he is a person who can continue developing new organs and new abilities over time. A brain-dead person cannot do this, and that is why the brain-dead are no longer persons, while the unborn, even without a brain, are persons who are merely immature.

there is no moral problem with killing human beings without brains. they're parasitic, depending on either machines or a womb to keep them alive, but they have no personhood, no personality, no memories. you cause no suffering by killing them. why would you have problem with it?? a fetus is only "human" in your strange, arbitrary definition of personhood. it has the potential to develop into a person but it isn't one

A parasite is a species which lives off another species so it's just not accurate to call a human embryo a parasite. You can say there's no moral problem with killing the unborn all you want but this isn't an argument, merely a declaration. If it's wrong to kill innocent human beings, then there's no reason it shouldn't be wrong to kill all human beings regardless of their level of development. Again if we're going to scientifically accurate, we're not dealing with a potential human being but an actual human in the earliest stages of development.

>"The development of a human begins with fertilization, a process by which the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote." [Sadler, T.W. Langman's Medical Embryology. 7th edition. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins 1995, p. 3]

>"Zygote. This cell, formed by the union of an ovum and a sperm (Gr. zyg tos, yoked together), represents the beginning of a human being. The common expression 'fertilized ovum' refers to the zygote." [Moore, Keith L. and Persaud, T.V.N. Before We Are Born: Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects. 4th edition. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company, 1993, p. 1]

>"Although life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed.... The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote. Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed. The embryo now exists as a genetic unity." [O'Rahilly, Ronan and M?ller, Fabiola. Human Embryology & Teratology. 2nd edition. New York: Wiley-Liss, 1996, pp. 8, 29. This textbook lists "pre-embryo" among "discarded and replaced terms" in modern embryology, describing it as "ill-defined and inaccurate" (p. 12}]

If you're going to introduce some new concept of personhood which is distinct from its biological reality then you need to justify it and not just assume it. As it stands, I see no reason to recognize a difference between person and human. Grown adults can lack personality and memories for various reasons but this doesn't give us the right to kill them, neither does a reliance on machines.

The reason it's wrong to kill humans in the earliest stages of development is because consistency demands it. If it's not wrong to kill humans in the earliest stages of life, there's no good logically consistent reason to suppose it's wrong to kill them in any other stage.

If consciousness is what makes us human and gives us value then it should be lawful to kill a sleeping person or anyone in a coma. I promise you if you walk into a hospital and unplug a random persons life support, causing them to die, you will be charged with murder. You can consider it a less heinous crime than killing somebody on the street and a judge might even agree since there's less pain and suffering involved and lighten your sentence but it remains a crime.

I don't accept eugenics as morally permissible but even if I did there is a crucial difference between it and abortion, which is that eugenics is killing an unhealthy human being who is already in the process of dying, but abortion is the killing of a healthy human who is just beginning their life. I'm speaking generally of course, there are exceptions but as the saying goes, hard cases make bad law.

Suppose I killed an innocent adult human being who is in a lot of pain, doesn't really have consciousness, and probably doesn't have any future prospects. In this case I would be guilty of murder but I probably wouldn't have a lot of culpability, meaning I'm not very deserving of punishment. Things like consciousness, pain, experiences, and so on can help us determine the level of culpability a person might have for killing somebody else, but they don't tell us whether or not the killing itself was right or wrong. There may not be a lot of culpability in killing a person who is brain dead or unborn, but the crime of killing an innocent person is still there.

Most who support abortion don't care. When you support abortion you help prop these people up.

When I say crime I'm talking about something that is morally wrong, so whether a country recognizes it in their laws is irrelevant. Somebody who pulls the plug on a braindead relative is killing an innocent person, and is thus committing a crime. Whether there should be any culpability in this is another question.

I would agree with you that there are plenty of morally acceptable reasons to kill people, like in self defense for example but that's not what we're talking about here. It's the killing of innocent human beings which is wrong and the prohibition of which no functional society can neglect. Meaning we can't have civilization unless we prohibit the killing of innocent people. I would prohibit this in the most consistent and logical way possible by barring it in all stages of life and development because as we've seen, trying to base the acceptable the limit of killing on things like consciousness or memories does nothing but introduce serious complications and often makes it licit to kill fully functioning adult human beings.

Be serious. Killing somebody while driving a car is wrong, especially when it's done intentionally. We probably should prohibit driving to people who kill others, at least in some circumstances. The military, oil industries, death penalty, and drug rehabilitation all have legitimate, licit purposes like self defense on a national level, providing us with energy, punishing the guilty, and helping people get off drugs. That because some people incidentally die while utilizing these things doesn't make them bad and I don't think you would seriously argue the contrary.

it is very clear that any activity will yield some risk, and that will result in some amount of death. This should be obvious to everyone.

The next question is to ask how much of a risk are we willing to take. Is it worth it to sacrifice the speed limit so that people can get to their destination faster at the cost of some lives? Every time anyone is stepping on the car they are participating in a death lottery.

Making abortion illegal at all cost is one such peculiar case. Every child born is a risk, given the state of their parent, their society, the economy, their health etc etc

If a parent comes to you and said they do not want this child, that they hate it, why would you allow this woman to have it? Is it better to let a child be born to a woman who hates it or just take the child's live early.

both are clearly risks. Its possible that the child is the next Ramanujan, the next Buddha, someone who will live an extraordinarily fulfilling life.

but that is extremely unlikely, even more unlikely as me hitting a child with my car.

You've completely misconstrued the argument. These are VIABLE pregnancies. They will be born without issue. It is not "cruel" and "unnecessary" to bring a life into the world just because they won't be able to consume products. Being poor isn't bad. Suffering is a part of life. I was poor. I suffered and will continue to till I die, just like everyone else. I'm doing fine. If you honestly want a life without suffering you should consider killing yourself. I am not "mad" that women are getting laid without consequence. The point is they care so little about human life that they think it holds the same value as a cheap fuck. The men who've fucked them are as responsible for them getting pregnant as they are. This is a typical "muh misogyny you hate womyn" tier argument and it's embarrassing you actually believe someone would be against abortion simply because they hate women having sex.

If abortion were the ethical choice, abortion activists wouldn't have to obfuscate the point and adapt obscurantist language in order to have the uninformed support them. They would simply state : "I support the killing of the unborn". I do not support the killing of the unborn, and only condoned it when I was ignorant to the issue at hand.

—Ho hum, my good sir, ho hum. 'Tis a day like no other, my good man, since today is my wife's boyfriend's thirtieth birthday.
Swiftly, stout and corpse-fleshed Colonel Uckheart was coming down the alleyway, tipping steeply the end of his newly-purchased fedora acquired from the local antique hat boutique.
—'Tis a day like no other, he repeated, adding slyly, methinks Tyrone shall receiveth a wonderful Nintendo Switch.
—A Ninten-do Switch? Ozymandias Black the Third asked in bewilderment and dismay.
He was his best friend, despite being a Chinaman. There was an eager look in his eyes, as though he wanted to get at the bottom of this before their quick stroll around Detroit. It was a very familiar and homely city, one in which they searched every alcove as children. They were waltzing down a main street, which housed many local Bohemian start-ups and petty bourgeois boutiques.
—But cuck supposed to leceive the Ninten-do Switch, isn't it?
—My good man, you still have yet to comprehend the full relationship of the cuck and the cuckolder, as much as you need to grasp the language of the people whom you live among, and whose land you owe all your newfound prosperity.
Colonel Uckheart swivelled on his heels and turned down a little alleyway full of artisan coffee shops, micro breweries and tucked-away bars.
—Come, come, my good man, he said cheerily to his yellow friend. We shall get at the finer details over a pricey spiced rum.
—Yes, I rike lum.
They sat at a damp wooden table full of used glasses that had salt and lemons on the rims. Uckheart gagged at the thought of cocktails in this weather, instead preferring a fiery beverage to heighten his mood before the grand sexual orgy tonight, of which he was not allowed to take part in, which, to him, was the most exciting part.
—The Switch is for him to tease me with while he fucks my wife's arse full of big fat whopsies and huge bellows, long windy ones, and quick merry cracks. He will then play it before my eyes and make a red-faced bawling child of me.

I am not religious. People should have as many kids as they can because it's their biological function.

This is incorrect, and some screenshot from who-knows-where doesn't prove otherwise.

I have to go on a tangent about this because this is a pervasive behavior within your type. Posting a source from some academic, or journalist, or otherwise, proves nothing, and brings nothing of substance to conversation.

As someone who generally has a pro-choice stance, I couldn’t really give a fuck if it was pro-life eitherway, but my holdings on being completely pro-life are when we have something like being forced to carry the baby of a rapist, abuser, molester, etc. I see the argument that every child deserves a chance at life and shouldn’t be punished for the sins of the father, but this decision also impacts the mother in an extreme way. Why is she getting punished for this? Either way it seems to be a very mixed situation. I would be completely pro life if our orphanage system was better in America, I’ve heard it’s pretty shitty.

I'm reading a memoir written by someone who has schizophrenia and she talks about what her life was/is like with the disorder. It sounds worse than living in a war zone. Yeah, you have to dodge bullets and watch your back, but even in a place like Yemen there are moments of peace where you can just relax, spots you can go to and things you can do to get away from the gunfire for a little bit.

But with schizophrenia, there are no hideouts and no ceasefires. The voices haunt you all day and you cannot chose to get away from them. You grow to hate yourself something fierce and the voices in your head tell you horrible things, often making you lose control of your life to the point that your appearance changes. You end up looking like someone who crawled out of hell.

I never realized how much I take my mental faculties for granted. Being able to piece my surroundings together in order to create a coherent picture of the world around me is just part of life for me and most of us. It's like breathing air, we figure that it's one of those universal facts of life. I never considered what these people go through, and now the human mind intimidates me.

It's a good thing a human life is so short.

If it were ten times longer who could justify devoting their life to truth and the big picture when you could devote it to money, social success, yourself?

Dating sites are shit. You mean the ones where you have to make a profile or some shit, right? Fuck those, they're worthless. You're better off trying your luck with something like Bumble or Tinder. Or, going entirely the other direction, you could try to go out and meet them in the real world. All my girlfriends have been women I've actually met IRL as opposed to using a site.

As far as how to land a big girl, obviously they're everywhere, so just find a bar and be on the lookout. If you can strike up a conversation with her and wring a date out of her, take her to a good restaurant. Not necessarily a NICE restaurant, but one where you know the food is good. If she's fat she clearly likes to eat and likes good food. And if she sees you eating she'll be encouraged to eat too, which will get her out of her shell. Hell, even offer to get dessert at the end. She'll probably go for it if you suggest it and it will make her more comfortable with you.

Also ask her about her hobbies and the movies she likes, standard date stuff.

Fucking awful. It was like a band-aid that merged with the outside layer of skin but it had to come off anyway. If you want half-decent advice, keep track of your dough for at least 3-4 months keeping in mind how much you spend on the big 3, bills, food, and stupid shit. Work around that to have an idea of what you can afford and try to start out maybe just renting a room. Might not be all that different from your current situation but people are more likely to leave you alone in that scenario and you get used to bill-paying and what not. You got it in you lad, you just gotta see it through.

Likewise. The last thing on my mind is the abortion of some random whore's kid. We've got plenty of people as it is.
Plus, these pro-lifers never argue in good faith. They're genuinely disgusting trashbags with no actual morals or interest in helping others. They have no problem advocating for more people to be born, but they don't care about what that means for others that pay taxes - oh wait, I know, because these tend to be the same dumb fucks that think paying taxes is wrong.
When I see pro-life people working their asses off only to donate all their disposable income to "saving babies" then I'll bother to care about what they have to say.
As it stands, there are millions of people you can help right now if you give a fuck about life. Just helping a single homeless person get their shit together would be a more meaningful victory than stopping some random abortion.
I find this sort of empty philosophizing on the internet so fucking boring when nobody gives a fuck about this IRL. Most of these pro-life warriors probably wouldn't quit a match in a game if it meant saving a baby. Give me a fucking break.

Too much self medication always bites back, some amount of it I can’t really blame though but it’s best kept to less hard or challenging substances if you’re going through some troubles. Too much of the wrong stuff can disrupt any recovery you need to make, or if you’re taking medication it can even have interactions with that that can be harmful. Find a balance with substances you give yourself, but don’t let them be the only thing that gives you fuel, do nothing at all for some period if that’s what you need, and when you become clearer try to find a way to build yourself back up with a cleaner base.

It’s good to be with parents if you’re in a place where you can’t help yourself like you need to, I can say that from experience. Even if you wish you weren’t, they are helpful for giving yourself structure. Don’t avoid them too much if you can help it, and be open with them about the things you can be. Find things do even if it’s with them, just to at least give yourself something coherent and real to latch onto. If you have any goals, go to them and have them help you hold yourself accountable. If you have any other contacts in your life, try to be open the best you can but more than anything do your best to keep your head in the land of the living. If you’ve been working on working your way up the past years already you are no lost cause, you clearly have an idea of how to look for a way in the world. And the world is obviously rough and bad and everything else but you’re certainly capable of living in it, you don’t sound entirely on your own.

>>15670388
And therapy is a critical thing if you’re at a low point, I can say that from experience myself. I would say from my own mistakes though, if you don’t like a therapist you see, then find a new one. But even just having a professional that you can vent to to help yourself balance out what is bothering your mind with everything outside yourself, this is still good, and you can keep plenty to yourself with them as well if you need to, but it’s still better than keeping everything to yourself.
There are plenty of man non-bitch psychologists too, stoicism is a thing I hear is good so that’s cool too, but there are also psychs that would agree with that as well.
If they mention anything else about meds, you can tell them no also, and it may be annoying, but if you’re able to you can still find a balance with them.
I’d suggest finding a man psychologist, and having it be one focused from a critical angle more than just wanting to chit chat with you. You can get a reference to some from a psychiatrist if you ask, surely. Be upfront about what you don’t want, and try to have it play on the grounds you want. Then once you make progress with this rule book, the idea would be to open yourself up more with as much as you’re able.

I'll se what I can do, much appreciated words. I don't agree with what the other anon said, it's similar to saying that only women can have depression and if a man has it then he should be able to fight it himself thus saying that the depression is just in my head and not real. That sounds very archaic to me from a scientific point of view and further more kind of childish as I am way beyond that point where I care about my masculinity or whatever that anon has in mind. Lay down and rot is not a state that either men or women should find themselves in but both can be affected from this.
The reason why I am hesitant to make the call is a different one. It's the fear that once I go to a doctor for mental issues this will stigmatize me for life and will have very bad and limitizing effects on my future. Once you are officially recorded for being mentally unstable people will start to look down on you. Also I don't want to see myself as just the person who identifies with what a doctor tells him what he is, if it's autistic or schizo or whatever. This is frightening and I might have some as well archaic form of pride which prevents me from seeking help. It's stupid, I know, but it's a thought that blends in with my whole personality and I feel like I have to give up on this personality, which in fact I think I should do as my current perspective on the world does not allow me to take part in it.

Doctors are bound by confidentiality, the only people your history will be shared with are other doctors. Yes that can also be exposing, but any professional knows fully well the complexity of every mind they work with, they know how to keep judgement separate from their work, and you don’t have to worry about them judging you beyond any element that involves their practice.
> Once you are officially recorded for being mentally unstable people will start to look down on you
Replace “mentally unstable” with anything else (or keep it), and yeah this is a massive thing for myself, however as far as getting help goes that’s something that this is not even in the picture, you get help for yourself, you don’t need to worry about pride with them. But that feeling is an understandable one. Fixation on image is a hard thing to bear. You can move at your pace with a therapist though. It really, really would be good.
>>15672920
Meds have to be up to you, but you have to be able to find integration for yourself in some way, there’s no shame Inness if that helps, even if that dulls you, you can still be productive. But this is a frank discussion to have with a psychologist, since I can imagine you wouldn’t want this talk with a psychiatrist. Weigh out the benefits and downsides with an external party in front of your face. And honestly, have people externally around you when you can help it, help yourself keep yourself accountable as much as you can with whoever else you already know. There are always ways to draw out a black pill no-hope scenario, don’t let this fact hold you to that extreme.
