How many of you robots are in therapy?
I just started but I'm having trouble confessing to just how fucked up I am. Earlier today:
>Shrink: So what do you do all day?
>Me: Uh... not much. Browse the Internet mostly.
>Shrink: OK. What do you do then? Any particular sites?
>Me: N-no? N-nothing particular. Just random browsing...
>tfw actually spends whole days here shitposting about traps and faps
Should I have told him about this place? Would that help me get better? Also general therapy feels thread.
Should add that the session was being recorded. I tried my best, when he had his back turned, to give the camera the most subtle smug pepe-pose I could.
>>27745978
I'm sure any therapist who found out about this site would advise you to stop coming here immediately.Even though many therapists are crazy themselves and probably former /b/tards.
Why are your sessions being recorded? Are you a serial killer or something? Also, have you gotten anything useful out of the therapy so far?
>>27745978
>therapy
is it even useful in any fucking way?
>>27746292
He advised me to stop without even knowing. Or perhaps he could guess? Recorded for research purposes, and also allows him to review the session.
>>27746308
No idea. Second session. First was just explaning my problems, this was the first "real" one where I got some advice. I don't fucken know if it works, but it might get me some neet-bux down the road maybe? I get it for free anyway since I agreed to filming for research purposes, so idgaf, might as well try.
I should be in therapy but I'm scared they'll tell me to stop self-medicating with weed and use their fucking terrifying SSRIs
THC is just so much better for me
>>27745978
fake and gay as usual. fuck off with the fake stories
>>27746367
>agreed to filming
make sure to show them your real fucked up inside.
>>27745978
>Should I have told him about this place? Would that help me get better?
Don't tell him about this place specifically. Just that you sit on Nigerian bed frame maintenance imageboards and sites of that nature.
>>27746292
I told my therapist about this site and he already knew about it. He says I should try to make a Facebook account and get my socialization from there but that's literally impossible. Who would I even talk to?
>>27746379
Some therapists are like that. I spoke to one doctor who considered my occasional weed smoking a serious addiction. Current one doesn't care. He asked me if I did drugs and I said "yeah, weed" and his only response was to chuckle and say "weed doesn't count!". All he cares about if how it makes me feel (pretty good). So yeah, shop around until you find a decend doctor who doesn't care.
>>27746401
On me nanna's grave, anon, this happend this morning. And why would you think it was fake? I mean it's not like I said I fucked 5 models or got cucked by LeBron James or some other unrealistic shit - I just went to therapy and was to chicken to tell the doc about this site.
>>27746405
Really considering sperging out to the godamn max just to give them something to research.
>>27746424
Any other reactions? Dis he/she know how fucked up this place is?
How's therapy working for you guys? I've considered it, but I don't know that my kind of problems can be worked out with a conversation. I tried it once a long time ago and didn't find seeing a therapist to be very helpful. Might have had the wrong person though, and a lot has happened since then that it might actually help to talk about.
Have you gotten some good advice though, or is your therapist mostly just someone for you tell about your troubles? I need insight more than a sympathetic ear.
>>27746424
Guaranteed your therapist comes here daily and was just trolling you.
never tell them about r9k
they look it up and think you're a school shooter or some shit
don't do it
>>27746568
i mean it doesnt end with the conversation
you are supposed to keep working outside the sessions
>>27745978
Just tell the shrink you browse reddit
>>27746613
Yeah, never talk about /r9k/ with normal people. Not your parents, not your friend, not your therapist. I mentioned 4chan to somebody once only when I was reasonably sure they were a robot, and sure enough they were. But most people don't have any idea what we're about and will think the worst if they look it up.
>>27745978
how the fuck is talking to someone gonna fix anything..
its a good business model tbqh
My experiences haven't gone too well.
My current "therapist" is just my college counselor because it's free. All he does is give normie advice.
>Just ask people if you want to study together!
>Try smiling in the mirror when you wake up every day!
>Try exercisingbefore you attack me for this I have and I'm not fat, it did not help
We haven't gotten very far because I'm too reluctant to open up about my poor relationship with my parents or tell him extremely personal reasons I loathe myself. This is my fault.
>>27746701
counselors dont know anything but normie shit so what do you expect
>>27746691
Because it's talking, getting contructive tips, getting meds, etc. At worst my shrink can just declare me mentally unfit to work due to severe depression and get me neet-bux.
>>27746701
Yeah, I tried those too. Terrible, awful, idiotic people. Avoid at all costs. Try to see if you can get free counsling with either a new and inexperienced counselor, a student in their last year, etc. in exchange for having the sessions recorded. That's what I did and it's pretty good. Plus them being new and a bit sure means they listen to you more and don't just assume they know what's up.
>>27746631
Yeah I know, but back then all I learned from it was a little about cognitive distortions. She didn't understand my crisis at all, and none of it mattered because I was just really depressed, and had little I could actually work on.
Since those days I've seen some traumatic shit, and I think it might be time to actually give it another try. I get drunk and then I get angry. Things might still go from bad to worse, but those are issues I probably could actually work on.
>>27745978
>finally go to therapist
>she is a qt grill
>she is my age
>she went to the college i went to
>realize i have wasted a decade doing nothing
>feel like killing myself every time i see her stupid pretty smile
>>27746802
transferrence, my young pupil. transferrence. of her fucking pics. to us. here on r9k. nao.
>>27746379
My therapist would rather me smoke pot. But I can't because of drug testing at work. (In colorado, ffs)
>>27745978
>>27745978
You won't get anythhing out of the therapy unless you're completely honest.
>>27746701
My parents told me to go talk to a therapist and to get a low paying job to hold on to for the rest of my life. My parents are divorced, they always shout in their altercations, no regards to neighbours
>>27746971
Yeah that's what I figured. But HOW honest? I don't want him thinking I go pee-pee in bottles and throw feces at my mother for not feeding me tendies... but I don't want him thinking I just browse reddit either, that's way too normal. And do I say anything about liking traps?
>>27746995
Liking traps is a sign of a mental illness
Same problem OP
Too embarrassed to confess how much of a loser I really am
>>27747015
I'm a trap and this triggered me
>>27746995
if all you do is shitpost here and fap to traps you're a hella repressed transgirl
welcome to the club hon
>>27746655
>most people don't have any idea what we're about
Come to think of it, I've been shitposting for a decade and I still don't know what we're about
>>27746873
>transferrence, my young pupil. transferrence. of her fucking pics. to us. here on r9k. nao.
Underrated post.
>>27747015
It's not just liking traps, either, it's being addicted to getting nudes from them.
>>27747032
Post nudes bb.
>>27746873
this
do it
do it now
>>27746308
No its not. The "science" of therapy and psychology are so far behind that it's just guesses and pseudoscience at this point
Yeah I already told my shrink about this website. What was I thinking?
>>27747067
>Yeah I already told my shrink about this website. What was I thinking?
REACTION PLZ
>>27746873
why would i have pics of her?
just imagine some skinny blonde woman with a braid.
>>27747036
Nah I mostly shitpost. Sometimes I'll chase transgirls but I mostly said that for comic effect. Traps and faps, you know? It rhymes.
Never suffered from any disphoria or anything like that, so I'm pretty sure that ain't it. Post pics if you pass, though :)
>>27747067
What was the reaction?
>>27747032
Being a trap is a sign of mental illness
Getting triggered is a sign of mental illness
"No more half measures, Walter".
I told my shrink about this. The next day I asked him if he saw it and he said 'yes' and then didn't mention it again. He looked really tired.
>>27747108
Posting on /r9k/ is a sign of mental illness. We're all in the same boat, bro.
>>27747120
heh
>>27747134
We can stop this. Just do something else
>>27747150
I will. Will you, bro?
>>27747108

(post not originalll :DDD)
>>27747091
>>27747103
This was right at the end of our last session, so I'll find out next week what she thought. I didn't give to much detail as to the content here other than that people posted anonymously. I honestly have no idea how she'll react.

>>27747182
>I didn't give to much detail as to the content here other than that people posted anonymously.
Wow - You couldn't have put it in a way that would make her more curious if you'd tried.
You better fucking come back and report
>>27747172
I will. We need to make it a habit, doing something else besides posting here
>>27745978
I have diagnosed adhd since I was a kid.
Never took medicin though. But ever since I am in collge I,found myself struggeling. I cannot pay attention, difficulty with learning even though I am a bright guy. Last monday I skipped an exam because I just hadnt been able tk learn.
I am going to a psych this Tuesday to get some Ritalin. I just hope he wont find anything else besides adhd, which I already have.
>>27745978
This question always comes up if you're going to be honest about your hobbies.
It doesn't matter what you tell them though, they won't remember or care next time.
Basically they have a handful of trigger words and boxes to tick.
Everything else is superfluous to their paycheck, and they have their own lives and problems to worry about.
>>27747246
Aye aye, captain
Origniale
>>27745978
Start by telling him you're a male craving female-framed men cocks, that should get the boulder rolling.
>>27746701
Yeah, that's why I haven't gone to my uni's free counseling. For what, some normie to give me life coach advice and judge me? I wouldn't tell them about me anyways, because I'm so fucked up they'd probably send me somewhere for real help, and then my whole life I'd have "history of mental illness" on my record.
How many times have you heard someone accused of something on TV, and as soon as they say "he had a history of mental illness", everyone decides they must have done it?
No way, I'm not having that kind of social stigma over my head my whole life just for some normie to give me advice off a Dove chocolate wrapper.
bump gooeeesss iiinnn all da fields, dawg
>>27745978
Therapy is bullshit, anon. Don't bother. I've been to probably 8-10 therapists in my life. I feel like I gave it a good shot. But the talky ones don't care and the cbt stuff is just stupid. It's like being given a list of thought crimes to stress about. You have to write down all the times you have "bad thoughts" and then you go over them in the session and I just felt guilty the whole time for doing so poorly every week. 0% helpful.
See the thing about therapists is they can't like all the people who come to see them. But they won't let the people they don't like know because they're being paid to make them feel better, not worse. So I always thought I was the one they hated and wished would go away. They'd put on this vacant smile and I'd just now they were seething hatred on the inside
>>27747270
That's what my shrink said and he doesn't even know about this place specifically.
>>27747639
Seriously, their only use is maybe referring you to a real shrink.
>>27747849
>cbt
Yeah done that. This guy is trying the same, but at least he's somewhat more open. Last one I had was a woman in her 50s who talked about "mindfulness". I stopped doing because SHE fell into a depression and took time off work. Yeah...
Also I think it takes time to find a good therapist. You can't just walk in there and get a good match at once - they're people too and they're flawed. Shop around.
>>27746003
what the fuck? Why has no-one else commented on this?
>>27747881
I did shop around. I can't even remember the faces of all the ones I saw anymore, and I gave them like 3 month trials. I think it's just not helpful for what I got. If all you have is garden variety depression/anxiety, maybe their stuff will help. Anything more complicated than that and you're wasting your time.
>>27745978
i can't say shit to my therapist because all my life arounds getting weed and he would stop theraphy if i would told him, so I just sit in silence whole hour or talk about some trivial bullshit
i can't quit because my mom would be suspicious since that's why I break my first theraphy
>>27747945
Sadly that might be true. They basically just churn out cbt-therapists with stock answers to normie problems because that's A)the cheapest and B)works in 90% of cases. Anything more and you need a specialist, and waiting lists are looooong. I'm only seeing this guy to keep me from killing myself until I get to see a specialist in like A YEAR from now at the earliest.
So wtf are you doing then, anon? Just living with it?
>>27747973
Yeah I'm doing it mostly for family too... I honestly feel better venting here than getting normie advice from some guy who has his shit together. "Why do you want to die?". Well I don't fucken know!
>>27747982
Why are you killing yourself?
The voices don't bother me like they used to. I took antipsychotics for a year but lied myself off those because they were TERRIBLE. never ever ever take them. Nasty drugs. I have a suspicion they were testing something out on me, but I'm not sure how to send the pills away for analysis. So I try not to think about that. Basically I'm on my own now.
>>27746003
Why did you feel the need to do a smug pepe pose? Why didn't you do a CIA stance when walking in? Did you think that a fellow robot might have seen the video?
>>27748122
I couldn't tell you. Perhaps it was because I didn't dare say it, so I kinda showed it. Maybe hoping that if he picks up on it and KNOWS then it'll be easier. I dunno. I thought of Pepe a lot when I was in there. Thought about you robots. I'm going to try and stay away from /r9k/ for a while but I wanted to hear people's therapy stories first.
>>27748048
>I'm on my own now.
Shit bro... Mental healthcare sucks worldwide it seems.
I'm starting it because I just got out of looney bin
>>27748048
i just got put on atipsychotics when you stop taking them do they make you see more things? I enjoy seeing stuff it entertains me
>>27746613
This, they will just spin it to make it look like you're on some extremist site. You better tell them as little as possible, the real therapy comes from wisdom you gain from life experience.
>>27748407
Actually to be honest that's why I had to start too. Tried offing myself, wound up in the bin, and they told me I had to get some therapy.
>>27748455
Seriously, I think this is the best attitude. A little therapy might help a little along the way, but it's all about experience in the end.
>>27748443
Not him, but after a short increase in visual hallucinations I stopped getting them altogether with the meds.
I miss waking up to demons staring at me.
OP if you actually want help just fucking spit out everything you feel. as long as you havent done anything actually super fucking pound me in the ass prison illegal things, it will only help.
>>27748443
I've never seen anything other people don't see. I wouldn't say I hear more now than I did before the antipsychotics. What'd they put you on?
>>27748528
>I miss waking up to demons staring at me.
wew lad
>>27748550
risperidone
>>27748528
dam I thought if I took them and stopped they'd increase
>>27748485
>A little therapy might help a little along the way
Not even a little, just stay of the radar from the government. In 20 years they couldn't do shit for me. Best to accelerate your own therapy is by seeking knowledge to learn about what motives your actions, a good stop for that is by watching some of Spetsnaz' content.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc_unjzJCXo
>>27748563
Careful with risperdone. It gave me fainting spells. Went full zombiemode.it also made me lactate. I read this can happen to men too, so fair warning.
>>27748571
>Spetsnaz
Who dis?
>tfw I was in this same exact situation with my therapist
>tfw had to lie and tell her I'm a filthy Redditor because she'd probably have me institutionalized if she saw the /r9k/ catalog
I love you, lads.
I got out of therapy last yeat after two years of weekly sessions. It was shit for awhile, but it ended up helping a lot.
>tfw shrink shakes your hand and says you've made great progress
>>27748607
Seconded.
Respiridone robbed me of the ability to ejaculate.
How the fuck this shit passed the testing phase is a mystery.
Oh wait no it's not.
The entire mental health field is thoroughly corrupt.
>>27748651
The guy from the video.
>>27748752
lol obviously, I just mean who is he? what's his thing? his perspective? i mean like is he a buddhist spiritualist or a MRA who's gonna give me pointers on how to be alpha, or what?
>>27747198
Kek'd
Bbbccccbbbblox
>>27745978
Never tell them about us.
Parents are bugging me to go to therapy.
It's just going to be pointless, and will make me feel terrible since they'll get buttfucked with insane costs from it.
The only incentive is bux, and in the US there's no chance I'll get them.
>>27747198
choked on my fucking bake rolls, gg senpai
>>27748796
Just some MGTOW type of guy that shares great insight in the thinking of a man. Absorbing his knowledge will be better than most how to be alpha guides. Good stuff to listen to in the background while doing other stuff.
>go to CBT for crippling Social Anxiety Disorder
>do the exercises, keep a mood journal

Thanx anyway, brah, your heart was in the right place. I got a cute wife, though, and I'm trying get better for the sake of our family.
