Don't touch me

I heard saying "I feel _" instead of "Im _" it's the proper way to vent

Watching wwe raw on netflix and playing shmups ive found on the repository for the PS2. I hope everyone else is doing ok today and at least getting a bit of rest away from the world if they can.

Starting to think people are getting tired of me here

We haven't directly interacted much before but from the post I've read you seem like a cool and fun person and I'm sure there's other people around that think the same :)

What other pursuits have you thought of?

I collect retro toys and collectables stuff that wont be opened for 30 years been doing it for a while. I also do a lot of online mental health work on facebook to keep me busy. I give away my non personal stuff away to kids

I heard of occupational therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, but I don't want those kinds of therapies either, because:

1. I'm sure that in occupational therapy you need some random guy to monitor you 24/7 to know how you are doing.
2. I'm sure that in CBT you are going to get hypnotized or something

You can look up what they actually involve, you know.

CBT generally has nothing to do with hypnosis.

But what's with this fixation on hypnosis in the first place if you don't mind me asking? You've mentioned it before iirc, and then you listed it as one of the many things you thought would magically transform you into a better person (along with lobotomy which isn't something that is done anymore because it's grossly unethical, and vaping for some reason, which is like saying you can remove your problems by chewing gum).

Are you thinking of hypnotization, like when a stage magician swings a clock back and forth to make you sound think you're a chicken or whatever, or actual hypnotherapy, which is kind of an awkward subject in and of itself as it's generally not really considered to be based on scientific evidence, and more of an alternative medicine thing.

I wanna change as a person, and idk why I just listed it as a bad thing when talking about CBT

This is what CBT is:

So, it's basically just normal therapy?

As far as I know, it's one of the most common kinds, but I'm no authority on this or anything.

 

[bigstinkie]

having psychiatric medications withheld from you for nonsensical red tape protocol style reasons is enough to make my brain more frazzled than it already is

 

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

CBT? Isn't that... nevermind
