frootjooce taking good care of one’s mental health is not an indicator of some “generation safe space”. And yes, regardless of income everyone should have access to mental health care just like they should have access to regular health care. Whether you agree or not, a generation that cares about people is a good thing.
Read something on Instagram the other day "76% of all suicides are by men, with suicide being the biggest cause of death of men under 35. Yet, men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women. We need to break the stigma and end the silence. Do not 'man up'. It's time to talk.'' It's encouraging to see an equal mix of men and women in this video - we should break down the gender stereotype for men to 'man up' which deters men from expressing their normal emotions and seeking support. Well done Buzzfeed for making this video!
same thing with the Asian culture, therapy and mental health is just such an underrated topic. It really helped me tremendously and helped me to learn even more about myself.
I started Therapy last October when I had a mental breakdown, thus taking a year off of university. I can safely say that Therapy does wonders! I'm in a much better place than I was a few months ago and feel more than ready to return to my studies. Both my therapist and my brother in the last week have said that I seemed so much better which is such a awesome thing to hear :)
I’m glad Treye and Jamé shared their view on going to therapy, because they are right. The Black community doesn’t really talk about mental health care and while it is being talked about now, it’s still something that a lot of Black people don’t talk about publicly. Counseling and therapy has a stigma attached to it and it makes Black people not want to seek proper services. I think what would help is more affordable access to counseling services and more Black people entering the counseling profession. In grad school, when I went to counseling, having a Black male counselor was so important to helping me finish strong and graduate with my master’s degree.
I really wish mental health and depression was taken as serious as other diseases. I've been depressed for about a year. Most cuz of huge loads of studies and pressure to get into medical school. We really should be giving mental health the same amount of attention as well.
I kinda wanna go to therapy but Im afraid to tell my parents.. I mean they dont even know that I have panic attacks, anxiety and just feel really bad all the time
I'm not a licensed professional but I recently completed my anxiety disorders course in college and learned about mindfulness and acceptance therapy. One small step that you can take is slowly learn that yes, the anxiety will be there and to slowly accept it. By opening up to your parents, that is another way that you can get some anxiety off of your chest. Although frightening at times, small steps can help up start to lead to a calm mind. Stay strong!!!!
tell them ur chest hurts... they'll take u to the doctor and when they cant find anything they'll relate it to something psychological and send u to a therapist instead. works. tell ur parents what happens under anxiety attacks like where it hurts or where it feels uncomfortable. point it out to them on your body. best of luck my dude/dudette
I also have panic attacks and I'm going to therapy, my advice: tell them... Because they'll figure it out sooner or later, if you don't improve your mental condition it will only get worse and worse until you have a breakdown in front on them, that's when you'll realize you shouldn't have waited for so long.
Legally a therapist can't disclose information without your consent unless you are a threat to yourself or others.. If you can get therapy without disclosing the full part of why then you can wait and tell them when youre ready
I was in and out of therapy for 9 years up until last year when depression was finally over and I was a completely different person and every single one of my therapist helped so much in different topics but I just had to go from therapist to therapist due to how high my depression was and my insurance wouldn’t cover anymore but therapy definitely changed my life upside down and I love my therapist so much for helping get through a rough patch ❤️ I love this
Before going to therapy I was so anxious and now I feel like I can actually live again! I've become the best version of myself and still go every week. We work on my goals and my therapist is hands down the best person I know.
frootjooce what? I have depression,anxiety and asperger and I think that is a problem? But I don't know how to get better by just talking to someone, talking to a therapist only makes me anxious and uncomfortable and I can't talk about sensitive stuff to anyone
frootjooce this is utterly ridicules to say that depression and anxiety and not real. I would give any thing to not have anxiety but unfortunately it's a huge problem in my life and I'm trying as hard as I can to cope with it and deal with it. I'm sorry that you don't feel empathy towards others and I really hope you never develop a mental disorder because that is what I fear the only time you will truly see what it is like.
I wish I could say the same about therapy. Sessions are too short and I just never feel satisfied enough to continue paying with an arm and a leg for more appointments.
ᜌᜈ I don’t think you’ve found the right person yet. Try out a few more therapists until you find the person who gives you what you want from the sessions. Every therapist is different. 😊
well, you really said that you don't have to money to see other therapists so it seemed like you could pay an arm and a leg and scrape by if you went to see the one you had been going to. Anyway, I understand that you might not be able to afford to see a therapist right now, but if some day you can, totally feel free to tell them if their approach isn't working. A therapist that led a class that I used to go to said that she's thrilled when people discuss her approach and how she could help more, because she says that that's when the relationship really starts to get better and work better. Anyway, I wish you the best in life, hopefully you will feel better, whether with therapy or without, something will help you
I like how the one woman described how she felt after therapy as "validated" because that's exactly how I feel. Like I refused to acknowledge I had a problem for so long (at least 3 years) and now I'm in therapy for about three years and it helped me a lot. It helped me overcome the trauma that came with my mum having cancer when I was 9, my dad having cancer when I was 14, myself almost dying when I was 13. It helped me deal with the grief of a childhood friend killing himself when I was 16 and my uncle passing away after fighting cancer for 4 years when I was 18. And most of all it helped me not being as suicidal and depressed anymore and actually feeling some self worth. Before therapy I was like "people have to deal with worse stuff all the time, just deal with it" but therapy really helps.
I wasn’t allowed to go to therapy for sooo long because of a situation I was in. I finally went and it’s such a relief, it changed my life and made me think so differently about who I am. If you feel like you need to talk to someone professional. Do it! It’s incredible
Therapy is such an important tool and I hope more people think about going. It can be so life changing and save you. I've gone to therapy on many different occasions and if it wasn't for that I'd have never been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and nightmare disorder which is extremely rare in adults and It changed so much.
I'm currently with a therapist for almost 7 months. It change me . Baby steps for me.... I suffer from anxiety and I never knew it, I was thinking that's just me... and it wasn't . If you feel bad about something and you can talk it with anyone, Go!
"There had to be an event, now your sad, that's not the case, sometimes you are just sad" thank you!!!! So many times I've said I'm feeling depressed and people ask what's happened and I explain I suffer from depression and they continue to think its something. No, I have a chemical imbalance, I just get depressed 😓
My hubby also has mental illnesses, he's half Middle Eastern, half Latino and both cultures put very much pride in their attitude and mental status, in some families it's considered a weakness to go to therapy but thank Darwin that he is smart and developed his state of mind to a point where he said "I have to see a doctor and go to therapy" and I'm so proud of him for doing that. I try to support him as best as I can and we hope he'll soon have an appointment to see someone. I wish all of you guys the best, try to support your beloved ones when they are having a hard time and if you don't know how, just ask them. They really appreciate that you are trying to help and they might feel bit more important and worthy again, only because of that
I am so glad that these videos are being produce. I have been in therapy sense I was 16 and it has really helped me but at the time this was something that wasn’t really talked about and it is not and I think a big part in that change was that people are making videos like this.
I'm graduating in psychology and videos like this makes me feel like I'm on the right path!!! It's so hard right now and I can't deal with my own problems, but therapists are human as well, and that's what I learned in college, and I know that if God made me the way I am, it's because it has a purpose. I want to change people's lives and make them see what they couldn't and live their best life!!! ❤❤❤ I think all my hard work will pay off when a patient tells me that I helped them and that they feel stronger, happier! I can only imagine it! ❤
Therapy has really helped me figure out myself as a person, and connect the dots in a way. I also am learning how to form relationships, socialize, accept myself for who I am, and basically figure out why I feel the way I do. :) It really helps clear things up for me. I have gone to several therapists, some it's like talking to a wall with the loudest thing being a ticking clock. The therapist I have right now, OH MY GOSH, she is so great. She is like a really close friend that I can talk to about anything!!
These people’s therapists sound so nice and open. I was forced to start therapy and the therapist that I was assigned was not helpful at all and made my mental health worse.
i'm starting my mental health journey with a therapist next week and i'm really freaked out this video made me feel a little more comforted about going so thanks buzzfeed❤
As someone that has been doing therapy for six years and a psychology student, it was really amazing for me to see other people's vision on therapy and mental health. I loved it.
I appreciate any channel that doesn’t have auto-generated subtitles and spends there time on the subtitles.( I know it’s not the point of the video just appreciate ya)
Kyle and Treye are both so relatable. As a black man, apart of the LGBT Community, I wasn’t really accepted for being black & fat in the LGBT Community and I didn’t feel acceptance for being gay in the black community and I wasn’t taught to go to therapy as a black man neither.
I have been in therapy since I was 8 when my dad committed suicide I'm 19 now I hated it up until I was 16 and finally found someone that actually cared she helped me speak up about being raped. We all need help now and then or forever I don't think I'll ever stop going.
After I moved out of my parent's house, I had a hard time coping with loneliness and the aftermath from my family life. It wasn't the best, I was supposed to stay home so no one taught me how to live outside of the home. I went to therapy on my own. She helped me understand my situation, my options and my feelings. She helped me live outside in the real world.
In my junior year of high school (January 24 2014 to be exact) I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Major Depressive disorder, and Agoraphobia. My then boyfriend told me the day after I was diagnosed that I couldn't possibly have those disorders. "You're so happy all the time!" He'd said. "How can you feel that way when you look so happy?" I broke up with him a month later. After trying a few medications, my psychiatrist and I decided therapy would be good as well. My therapist was named Brandi. Brandi was the woman I'd longed to be, the woman I'd always wanted in my life. Instead of my mother's soft reassurances or my grandmother's passive acceptance, Brandi was aggressive. If I'd said something negative, she'd stop me in my tracks and say "Wrong, try again." It is only because of my year with Brandi that I now see myself for who I am--a beautiful young woman who can do anything she puts her mind to. I'm still in therapy, with a different therapist--Brandi moved away--but I'm still so happy I'm going. My therapist is one of the only people that knows my every problem and can give me a workable solution (or at least the only one I'll hear it from lol). I would not be here without therapy and medication.
I really need therapy but I am ashamed to ask my parents because my brother has some mental problems and he’s getting treatment, I don’t want to make them worry any more. I try to pretend I’m happy but I’m hurting so bad, I really need help.
My family has a history with CPS and my mom is not an abusive woman. She's not. But since my sister did drugs when she was my age, thats when it started. I'm just scared that my issues are going to make things worse. Thats why I keep my feelings inside and trade them with sarcasm
In the mean time, you are suffering. I understand your concerns about your family, but, if you need help you should get it. Stuffing your feelings and problems will only last so long before that Dam busts. Please go get help.
I started going to therapy after my brother’s death four months ago and I already feel lighter! It takes time, but therapy can help. If it doesn’t work for you, you can feel free to switch therapists. They won’t mind at all. ^^
This does make me so excited to be a therapist in the future!! The AND after watching that video i'm 100% sure that this is going to be my job no matter what. ❤️
Two years ago my doctor gave me a referral to see a psychologist because at that time I've been depressed for almost 3 years. I never went to see a psychologist. I've always felt like it's only people with real problems who goes to a psychologist and not someone like me who have literally no idea why I'm depressed. I've everything I need, I've an amazing family and great friends, not many friends but I don't mind that. I just somehow stopped doing the things I once loved. I loved working out before, I ate healthy, I was feeling great because I was finally at the weight I wanted which is 60 kg. But then everything went downhill. Suddenly all I did was just eating and sleeping, no exercise at all. I was in my room all the time, I didn't really see any of my friends besides in school. When I came home from school I walked right into my room and then went to take a nap because I was just so tired. I know I should've seen a psychologist back then but I didn't and I should probably still do it now, but I've no money and I keep telling myself "It's fine, you'll feel better soon" but deep down I know I need help. If I ever went to see a psychologist I would honestly have no idea what to say. I would probably just sit there and say nothing because honestly who wants to listen to a little white girl who feels depressed despite nothing bad has ever happened to her? Waste of time isn't?
Yup, I can agree with so much that was said in here. Besides that, I would just like to say, A surprising,pleasant, and small change for me was that my skin got a lot better!
God I love therapy. I’ve been in it for about 10 years since I was 10 and it’s why I’m in school majoring in social work, so I can be a clinical therapist one day!
In my country everybody has insurance but very few therapists actually accept the insurance. Vast majority of them chooses not to sign any contracts with the insurance companies and charge the full fee because that way they get more money than they would from your insurance. It sucks. I wanna go but it's so expensive :(
I'm depressed and suicidal and I have been denying a therapist for quite some time now but then my older sister showed me this video and I think I might go
Therapy did all of nothing before me. I’ve seen 7 different therapists in my life and many sent me away because they didn’t know how to help me. I’m not even 16 yet... I can’t trust therapists anymore cause for me, nothing helped
Treye's issue is something I'm going through but a little worse, for me being a black woman who want to "animate" and develop "video games" the world can't seem to see someone like me doing this field. I would be told to "just be an art teacher" or "just write books" I'm also an A and B student but on my college campus very little professors believe in me.
I had a therapist in college who told my parents everything we spoke about. He threatened me in the name of "helping". He made everything worse for me. I had to deal with it all alone. The experience made me stronger, but made my distrust for people a million times worse than it was. I'm sad that was my experience with someone who was supposed to have helped me.
Have you gone back to see any others? I just wanna make sure you didnt allow that one situation to disueade you from trying a new one. Theres so many good therapists out there
I go to a psychiatrist but I still feel bad even after 6-7 months and I don’t know why I don’t feel better, I have suicidal thoughts and it is so hard to meet up at school every single day because I feel both anxious and depressed. Even though I exercise, eat healthy etc it just feels like it doesn’t matter because mentally I am not improving, I just go straight back to being depressed again in some days/weeks and it is really exhausting.
Things will get better for you. But a therapist and psychiatrist are two different professions. I think you should try both at once- that’s where I found the peace of mind and comfort I needed
There's still too much stigma around therapy. Humans as social creatures need conversation with friends and family, and sometimes a stranger who is not attached to your life is the best person to help you sort through things.
I've been debating for 6 months whether to go to this free counselling service that partners with my college. You can only qualify if you're still studying at college but college ends in a month. So there goes my chance.
"the system isn't really set up for everybody to have access to [therapy]; that's not okay." truth.
frootjooce taking good care of one’s mental health is not an indicator of some “generation safe space”. And yes, regardless of income everyone should have access to mental health care just like they should have access to regular health care. Whether you agree or not, a generation that cares about people is a good thing.
frootjooce let me guess you're from the Westboro Baptist Church right?
this is so unfortunate but so true
There are lots of free therapies
@@elvir182 or so you'd *think*
also its important to know; don't give up after one session or one therapist. I had to go through 4 therapists before i found the right one for me.
Preach! I say this to everyone I know who hasn't liked going to therapy.
True
Thanks for the info it makes me feel at peace
I've been debating whether I should try therapy out for a long time but only more recently took it seriously. I think this is a sign
Mich Lee me too!
Same best of luck
I did that too... And when I finally went to therapy I realized I shouldn't have waited for so long . So if you are considering it you better go now.
Same
Mich Lee do it. It change my life. I'm happier. Obviously you aren't gonna feel happy every single week. But it's a project
Read something on Instagram the other day

If people stopped acting like men don't suffer/we live in a patriarchy, men would be more willing to be vulnerable.
Yeah its very sad.
same thing with the Asian culture, therapy and mental health is just such an underrated topic. It really helped me tremendously and helped me to learn even more about myself.
Mao and Then yea same with arabs, I am thinking of starting therapy but I know my mom won’t be happy about
I have so much respect for these people. Stay strong 🙌

Ivan Jimenez dont feed the troll. He needs to go back to the 1930s when therapy was about abuse and electrecution
We need you as a black women in this field. Thank you!!!!!
@@GoogleAccount00 Lol why you throwing the race card?
I hope you change people's lives ❤️

This comment genuinely made me cry
This comment is gold
Therapy isn't working for me, I just can't talk to strangers, I can't barely talk to my mom, I just can't it's like a "wall of silence"
Emelie Stenberg find a different therapist. You need to find someone you can trust, I went through lots of therapist before I found the right one
I was the same way, until I found the right therapist. I went through 3 before I had the breakthroughs I had with the fourth.
frootjooce what? I have depression,anxiety and asperger and I think that is a problem?

And this is why I want to be a psychologist.

You need to tell your therapist. They should be be helping you. If they aren't they can't change their approach unless you let them know.

These people’s therapists sound so nice and open. I was forced to start therapy and the therapist that I was assigned was not helpful at all and made my mental health worse.
I lied to get out of therapy...
I regret it...
Caitlin Young Do you wanna talk about it?
You can always go back
Same
i'm starting my mental health journey with a therapist next week and i'm really freaked out this video made me feel a little more comforted about going so thanks buzzfeed❤
As someone who is now being advised by doctors to attend therapy, this was very much appreciated.
Thank you
Starting therapy tomorrow♥️ I need to start fresh!
therapy changed my life sooo much, i am stronger than ever, i undersatnd myself at a level that i didn't imagine existed. i allways recommend it
This is making me emotional lol. As someone who's in therapy, I love this video
I did a lot of therapy and it did nothing but I love that you promote it to people who are afraid to seek help
I think I'm going to cry. Who's cutting the onions?

Im making an omelette..
It’s not me either. I’ve been making brownies but I haven’t touched an onion
I bet it's the onion cutting ninjas 😂 I also really want a brownie now.
Jodie The Fangirl omg I bet it is 😮
Lovely video! Therapy is reaching out...quite easy and natural. Thank Goodness for therapy.
Beautiful souls! Thanks god for therapists. Loved this video Buzzfeed well done
As someone that has been doing therapy for six years and a psychology student, it was really amazing for me to see other people's vision on therapy and mental health. I loved it.
Therapy has changed my life incredibly as well
I'm studying to be a clinical psychologist and this video motivated me so much
listening my so called freinds dont listen. i just want to talk. everyone thinks im crazy. ive seen alot i should not seen.
Therapy changed my entire life, it saved me.
I appreciate any channel that doesn’t have auto-generated subtitles and spends there time on the subtitles.( I know it’s not the point of the video just appreciate ya)
I started therapy today and it really helped
Kyle and Treye are both so relatable. As a black man, apart of the LGBT Community, I wasn’t really accepted for being black & fat in the LGBT Community and I didn’t feel acceptance for being gay in the black community and I wasn’t taught to go to therapy as a black man neither.
I have been in therapy since I was 8 when my dad committed suicide I'm 19 now I hated it up until I was 16 and finally found someone that actually cared she helped me speak up about being raped. We all need help now and then or forever I don't think I'll ever stop going.
After I moved out of my parent's house, I had a hard time coping with loneliness and the aftermath from my family life. It wasn't the best, I was supposed to stay home so no one taught me how to live outside of the home. I went to therapy on my own. She helped me understand my situation, my options and my feelings. She helped me live outside in the real world.
In my junior year of high school (January 24 2014 to be exact) I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Major Depressive disorder, and Agoraphobia. My then boyfriend told me the day after I was diagnosed that I couldn't possibly have those disorders. "You're so happy all the time!" He'd said. "How can you feel that way when you look so happy?"
I broke up with him a month later.
After trying a few medications, my psychiatrist and I decided therapy would be good as well. My therapist was named Brandi.
Brandi was the woman I'd longed to be, the woman I'd always wanted in my life. Instead of my mother's soft reassurances or my grandmother's passive acceptance, Brandi was aggressive. If I'd said something negative, she'd stop me in my tracks and say "Wrong, try again." It is only because of my year with Brandi that I now see myself for who I am--a beautiful young woman who can do anything she puts her mind to.
I'm still in therapy, with a different therapist--Brandi moved away--but I'm still so happy I'm going. My therapist is one of the only people that knows my every problem and can give me a workable solution (or at least the only one I'll hear it from lol).
I would not be here without therapy and medication.
Been wanting to see a therpist for about 16 years but have never gone. Not brave enough, no money either 😢
I really need therapy but I am ashamed to ask my parents because my brother has some mental problems and he’s getting treatment, I don’t want to make them worry any more. I try to pretend I’m happy but I’m hurting so bad, I really need help.
I think that you deserve happiness and that if therapy can help you acheive that goal then go for it
Talk to them u don't need to suffer
The only reason why I'm too scared to do therapy is because I'm scared that my family will be seperated.
Why?
My family has a history with CPS and my mom is not an abusive woman. She's not. But since my sister did drugs when she was my age, thats when it started. I'm just scared that my issues are going to make things worse. Thats why I keep my feelings inside and trade them with sarcasm
In the mean time, you are suffering. I understand your concerns about your family, but, if you need help you should get it. Stuffing your feelings and problems will only last so long before that Dam busts. Please go get help.
Okay. I just need my mom to take me
Therapy really does do more than you expect.
I started going to therapy after my brother’s death four months ago and I already feel lighter! It takes time, but therapy can help. If it doesn’t work for you, you can feel free to switch therapists. They won’t mind at all. ^^
As someone who has been through some similar experiences, I would like to say thank you for this video.
It's very important to talk to therapy . If you are lonely or having a hard time talk to therapy because it could affect you mentally.
This does make me so excited to be a therapist in the future!! The AND after watching that video i'm 100% sure that this is going to be my job no matter what. ❤️
Therapy is wonderful because like I go and it has made me feel WAY better.No one should have to feel like like you need to by crazy to get therapy
Two years ago my doctor gave me a referral to see a psychologist because at that time I've been depressed for almost 3 years. I never went to see a psychologist.
I've always felt like it's only people with real problems who goes to a psychologist and not someone like me who have literally no idea why I'm depressed. I've everything I need, I've an amazing family and great friends, not many friends but I don't mind that. I just somehow stopped doing the things I once loved. I loved working out before, I ate healthy, I was feeling great because I was finally at the weight I wanted which is 60 kg. But then everything went downhill. Suddenly all I did was just eating and sleeping, no exercise at all. I was in my room all the time, I didn't really see any of my friends besides in school. When I came home from school I walked right into my room and then went to take a nap because I was just so tired.
I know I should've seen a psychologist back then but I didn't and I should probably still do it now, but I've no money and I keep telling myself "It's fine, you'll feel better soon" but deep down I know I need help. If I ever went to see a psychologist I would honestly have no idea what to say. I would probably just sit there and say nothing because honestly who wants to listen to a little white girl who feels depressed despite nothing bad has ever happened to her? Waste of time isn't?
this is SO important
This is beautiful 💜💜
Yup, I can agree with so much that was said in here. Besides that, I would just like to say, A surprising,pleasant, and small change for me was that my skin got a lot better!
God I love therapy. I’ve been in it for about 10 years since I was 10 and it’s why I’m in school majoring in social work, so I can be a clinical therapist one day!
This is why I want to be a therapist ❤
I have therapy and it sucks
In my country everybody has insurance but very few therapists actually accept the insurance. Vast majority of them chooses not to sign any contracts with the insurance companies and charge the full fee because that way they get more money than they would from your insurance. It sucks. I wanna go but it's so expensive :(
I'm depressed and suicidal and I have been denying a therapist for quite some time now but then my older sister showed me this video and I think I might go
Best video Buzzfeed has released.
Therapy did all of nothing before me. I’ve seen 7 different therapists in my life and many sent me away because they didn’t know how to help me. I’m not even 16 yet... I can’t trust therapists anymore cause for me, nothing helped
Treye's issue is something I'm going through but a little worse, for me being a black woman who want to "animate" and develop "video games" the world can't seem to see someone like me doing this field. I would be told to "just be an art teacher" or "just write books" I'm also an A and B student but on my college campus very little professors believe in me.
I had a therapist in college who told my parents everything we spoke about. He threatened me in the name of "helping". He made everything worse for me. I had to deal with it all alone. The experience made me stronger, but made my distrust for people a million times worse than it was. I'm sad that was my experience with someone who was supposed to have helped me.
This was not okay. I hope you were able to report them.
Was it a therapist or a counselor
Have you gone back to see any others? I just wanna make sure you didnt allow that one situation to disueade you from trying a new one. Theres so many good therapists out there
Therapy just makes things worse
Never trust a therapist who calls your thoughts garbage
So far I’ve been therapy a few times. I feel talking therapies are not for everyone but different types of therapies help with different problems.
I’m thinking of going counselling. I think my problem in the past was that I wasn’t strict enough with who I chose to do therapy with.
I go to a psychiatrist but I still feel bad even after 6-7 months and I don’t know why I don’t feel better, I have suicidal thoughts and it is so hard to meet up at school every single day because I feel both anxious and depressed. Even though I exercise, eat healthy etc it just feels like it doesn’t matter because mentally I am not improving, I just go straight back to being depressed again in some days/weeks and it is really exhausting.
Things will get better for you. But a therapist and psychiatrist are two different professions. I think you should try both at once- that’s where I found the peace of mind and comfort I needed
My therapy is games😂😂 I'm not kidding either it relaxes me😎
There's still too much stigma around therapy. Humans as social creatures need conversation with friends and family, and sometimes a stranger who is not attached to your life is the best person to help you sort through things.
Therapy didnt help my case so i stopped going, i still suffer with severe depression and anxiety.
how are you doing now
Therapy would help me...but i talk to nobody
I really liked the animations!!
im going to therapy tomorrow lol
I think I need therapy after scrolling though some of these Buzzfeed videos.
Thank you all for sharing :)
Therapy did not work for me. I went from July of 2017 - end of December 2017 and all it did was make me worse.
I've been debating for 6 months whether to go to this free counselling service that partners with my college. You can only qualify if you're still studying at college but college ends in a month. So there goes my chance.
I need to remind me of myself of this. I have been always afraid of therapy for some reason
Everyone should have therapy in their life I truly believe this and yes you do discount your own feelings I certainly did
Anyone else scared a therapist will actually just say “you actually just have a massive victim complex”
Nice graffics!😊
