Psychologist here. AMA~!
Whether you have a problem, or maybe you just want to talk: I'm here for you.
>>769053251
No matter how fucked up I am, a person that starts a thread with an anime picture like that is obviously more damaged than I'll ever be.
I'll pass.
>>769053407
Oh, come now anon. Don't be mean and share your pain.
There are threads of ppl who are suicidal, but don't worry about them anon.
>>769053691
Yes, anyone who's hurting inside...Don't be afraid to speak up.
If you think no one cares for you know this: I do.
>>769053251
Well, I'm pretty sure I have PTSD. I really should see a doctor about it, it's been a long time since I've actually cried. Nowadays I just hold something in, my hands tend to shake when I do this and if things get really bad I'll have a panic attack. I know I sound like an edgy kid and I don't like to but it's true
i really want to die
>>769053822
You don't sound like an edgy kid at all. You sound like someone who's suffering and you have no idea how happy it makes me that you're reaching out.
Tell me: What's causing your PTSD? (Only if you are comfortable talking about it, of course)
And yes, you really should see a doctor.
>>769053828
*hugs* Why?
>>769053251
The world genuinely needs just a few more people like you to make it a good place.
Anyway a question about you if you don't mind, are you a pacifist as well?
>>769053925
im always going to be alone. now im starting to experience regular physical pain and discomfort from these feelings of loneliness, and i dont think it will ever go away.
>>769054102
That's one of the sweetest compliments anyone has ever given me! Thank you~
Yes, I am definitely a pacifist. I think war and violence should be avoided at all costs.
I still have feelings for the co-worker I cheated on my gf with. Gf of 3 years now, fling happened for 3 weeks about 9 months ago. Will it pass? Will I ever feel better?
>>769053251

I've become too comfortable living with my parents. I have a good connection with them and whatnot. Paying dirt cheap rent, but I cant help but feel like I owe them something in return.
As in helping them out when they're struggling with bills or throwing dow extra on rent. For everything they've done and now they are almost close to the point of being the elderly. I hate the fact that I'm still here at 27y/o, and a part of me wants to get out. I've listen to their advice and I know they want me to save money to drop it on a house, but California is expensive as fuck. Dont know where else to go move to. Either way I'll be anchored down.
>>769054305
No! It WILL go away. And you're not alone. I'm here for you. It's just...you need to fight this sadness. I'll help you fight it. *hugs.
>>769054392
It may pass, as long as you keep yourself distant from the co-worker. Do you love your girlfriend?
>>769053251
So two nights ago, me and my cousin got drunk and made out. We both are in other relationships but it just happened. We both agreed we haven't felt like that in a long time but she said we can't do it again and now she won't talk to me and it's breaking my heart. I shouldn't care this much but I do.
Saber is actually shit
I would have taken you seriously had you posted tohsaka
>>769054444
Well...you did get quads!
>>769054543
I think it's wonderful that you have a good relationship with your parents. Do you have a job?
>>769054543
Rent something and take their house when they dje
I feel like I have to hide behind a cheerful persona and that I can't let my true feelings show because I don't want other to worry about me or to be a burden to them I just want those I care about to be happy
>>769053251
What is your take on Jordan Peterson and what do you think about Thomas Szasz?
Also, i love what are you doing here.
>>769054608
Well, it was kind of taboo what you both did and you have to accept that your cousin may be feeling more uncomfortable. You have to begin moving on. But try talking to her if you can, if you still want her to be a part of your life. (just don't expect anything romantic of course)
>>769054693
:< Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinions!
>>769054584
I did at one point. After I cheated...I feel like it's never been the same.
>>769054584
those words are not very meaningful. i am not looking forward to "fighting this" for the rest of my natural life. i would prefer to die now.
>>769054796
That is a symptom of Atypical Depression. You have to care more about your own health, not just others! *Hugs* I'm sure those who care for you will understand if you express yourself.
>>769054807
HUGE fan of Jordan Peterson. Also, I really respected Szasz because of his contributions to Psychodynamics.
And thank you so much!
>>769053925
It may sound kind of weak but a couple years ago I had a dog, his name was Captain he was about as tall as somewhere between a big and a small dog. When I say he was my best friend I mean it, I had him since he was a puppy. Well one day I let him out, after awhile I realized he hadn't came back for a while. When I went outside I found him bleeding a little by my door, (I don't really panic often so I remained calm) he seemed to be mostly fine except for what looked like a really deep bite on his chest. After a while I started to realize how bad the situation was, I was a teenager at the time, my mom wasn't home and it was a Sunday, I could not get a hold of her either, the only person with me was my older brother. No vets open on sunday, my only hope was the wildlife sanctuary. It was around the time I realized there was a hole on the other side of his chest as well, obviously a bullet hole. I can't remember when or who but eventually my mom got back and she started driving us to the wildlife people (more then a few minutes away) I was sitting in the back with my dog.... blood all over the blankets we had him on, Ugh I hate thinking about this... on the way there blood started flooding his lungs I could tell cause he was struggling to breath, at some point it started welling out of his mouth and nose . You know how people talk about the light leaving someone's eyes, it sounds cliqued or something but it's true I knew he was dead, it felt like part of me had left my body. I think a few weeks later I had my first panic attack when my mom and sister wouldn't stop fighting.
>>769055086
>HUGE fan of Jordan Peterson. Also, I really respected Szasz because of his contributions to Psychodynamics.
Thanks for your insight. Have a nice day.
>>769054853
Then you have to try and recognize: Who do you love? Who loves you? Who has more value to you? Answering these questions will help you think of what you can do next.
>>769054881
But you have to! I'm telling you, it's going to be hard. But wouldn't you rather the feelings go away? Did you know that many people who jumped of a bridge to commit suicide and survived said they thought of reasons to live the moment they jumped?
You can have reasons to live. You just need to try.
Hey anon, quite often I have these sessions of depression where I reflect back on the miserable things that have happened in my life, without anything good to look back on. I often think about how selfish and cruel people are because I have this notion that no one cares about anyone else.
I know that, that's not right, and I'm not really looking for advice but, I just wanted to let you know that my dream to become a psychologists that can help others overcome this feeling is what motivates me to keep going.
Thanks for doing what you're doing anon.
>>769055185
I'm so, so sorry to hear that...That really touched me. I've lost people before, but I can tell, you can care for a pet just as much as a person. *hugs* I know it's tough...But you'll always have memories of Captain. ^^ I'm sure he'll want you to live your life and be happy, and remember the good moments you guys had.
>>769055198
Anytime! Same to you~
>>769055370
That's..that's beautiful, anon. You know what that means? The fact that you feel depressed but you're strong enough to want to help others? You've beaten depression to a bloody pulp
You'll make an amazing Psychologist.
<3
>>769055244
im not really concerned with other bridge jumpers or their feelings or their reasons to live or die. i feel miserable and you are not very good at this.
>>769055691
>>769055691
I'm sorry you feel that way, anon. I know you're hurting a lot and I give you my deepest apologies if my advice doesn't help you but...
Just know, I care for you, okay? Please don't anything drastic. The pain DOES stop. Time will heal it, but you need to get professional help. Medication and CBT can do wonders.
>>769055479
Thank you but I've gotten so used to repressing the memory of him that I can't really remember much, that's probably one of the worst things, I hate how easily I could just forget things like that, maybe my mind is just protecting me from trauma or something, I'm not trying to sound edgy or overtly depressed cause I'm not but when I think back about him it always ends up in a what if thought followed by intense emotion
>>769055593
Thank you, that means a lot to me. I know it'll probably be difficult and I'll reach some lows along the way, but I'll try to persist. I wish the best of luck to you to anon.
I stuggle with my own sexuality a lot. Like its not that I'm bi. I know that. And like i have some problems from being raised a christian. But the big thing is all the sissy and trap porn I've seen. It makes me want to do it. And I've talked to a couple people(doms) and played with them sent pics etc. And i get teally into it. But I don't like the fact that i get off on being submissive. I want to be dominemt. I feel like i have to block off all that and all my gay thoughts amd just focus on being straight and dominent so i can succede in life. But i keep slipping back.
>>769056022
It's very possible that a lot of your memories are being repressed! The brain does that very often to protect you. But then, it may cause you anxiety unexpectedly or moments like this when you suddenly remember and you feel sad.
It's good you're talking about it: That's an excellent step in calming your emotions and calming the rush of chemicals that may depress you.
>>769055977
professional help is not an option for someone in my position, and the pain only stops for a few days before it comes back. there really is no help for me, and frankly i dont think im worth anyone's time. i'll just harass the next wannabe braindoctor when he makes his thread.
>>769056063
It means a lot to me that you told me this. Yeah...it'll be difficult, but I can see you're strong. Good luck to you too, anon~
>>769056140
First of all: Sexuality isn't so black and white. You don't have to feel bad if you enjoy the idea of being in a submissive role. I'd say, if it gives you that much unhappiness, try staying away from it for a while and see if you can enjoy fantasies in which you're dominant. If not, you might have to start accepting yourself for who you are.
>>769056185
Don't think like that. You need to start replacing your negative thoughts with positive ones. We're controlled by our cognition, but at the same time most people don't know how much control they have over it.
I hope you come back to my threads again, because you're definitely worth my time.
You are not a psychologist. You might pass for a life coach.
>>769056345
I have tried. And I can tho not always as much. But I always end up coming back to it. It's like an addiction.
>>769056620
Well, technically I'm not a Psychologist yet. I do have an MA in Psychology and I'm on the course for a Psy.D...so?
>>769053251
How can i get rid of my nihilism?
If i give everything meaning and try to have a sustainable nice life it means that I'm constantly supporting the retarded left by paying taxes and thereby support my own destruction.
>>769056676
But then...I think you have to start accepting who you are. Do you ever think you might identify as female or is just a fetish for you?
Either way. Don't hate yourself for who you are. Or don't be depressed, you can't really change it if it's thoroughly hardwired into your brain.
>>769056767
What makes you happy? You have to give that value. What do you need to do to be able to enjoy the things that make you happy? You have to also give that value.
I used to have nihilistic thoughts too, but that helped me.
>>769056140
I'm kind of similar. I really love femdom and the idea of being submissive to a girl, though I wouldn't say I'm bi or that I identify as anything other than male myself. I have worries sometimes that I might not be that desirable to a woman based on that alone. Obviously this isn't my only issue but I've had a pretty thorough obsession with femdom the past decade or so (since I was 14, am now 23).
>>769056825
I've considered that I might be nonbinary or gender fluid before. And just all of it. Even if I accept gays and all of it. In my head i hear my parents and bible verses telling me hey. You may do this but you know its wrong. So how can you be doing this. And how can you accept this.
>>769057131
Do you like the idea of pegging, futa and stuff like that? You're for sure not gay, since you're only attracted to the female body.
>>769053251
>psychoLOGist
>>769057131
I can't really see myself being as submissive to a girl as i could a guy. Definietly somewhat though. One of the big things for me i think is definitely getting fucked. Like the actual act of giving anal or oral to a guy or girl with a strap on.
>>769057227
>pegging
Sort of. It seems like a very compromising position. I probably wouldn't bring it up to a girl, but I'd oblige if she wanted to do it to me.
>futa
Not really my thing. I like the idea of women having an organ that's seen as "powerful" but I think it's more hot if she "overpowers" a guy with her normal female anatomy.
>>769057357
Go spam the porn threads. Your efforts are appreciated, if a bit misguided.
>>769057870
Pretty sure I'm the only logposter around right now, I just woke up from 5 hours of sleep and I'm hung over. Would you like to help me spam the 40 porn threads up right now?
>>769057227
I started off with gay bdsm porn where i would imagine being the dom. The i switched to pegging/futa definietly prefer futa still really have a thing for it. And then eventually switched to sissy porn. And now I'm here lmao.
>>769057223
Hm. I see. Well let me say at this way:
Many studies have shown that homosexuality and transgenderism is not a choice due to hormonal distribution during the embryo state.
Let us also assume that God is forgiving and loving, and will not punish someone for how they are born.
For that reason, I don't think you're doing any thing wrong and you shouldn't have to be ashamed for that either.
>>769057561
Hm, I see. So you are attracted to males. Nothing wrong with that.
>>769057566
I mean, I think you just like a dominant woman? Nothing wrong with that.
>>769058056
Again, nothing wrong with that.
>>769053251
Good resources for non-offending pedophiles? I'm seeing a therapist already, but I'm interested in your thoughts as well.
>>769053251
How do I get rid of my ASPD?
>>769053251
What are your credentials
>>769058189
may i ask how you came to find your therapist, and what steps you took to ensure your safety?
>>769058185
Ok well what about the conflicting feelings of wanting to be like a bad ass dominant guy in great shape. And a submissive sissy with a feminine body at the same time.
>>769058189
There's a certain kind of therapy that may help with paraphilia's but it'd be difficult to do it with Pedophilia, since it involves exposing the patient to their fetish and then conditioning them to associate it with nausea.
I think the fact that you're seeing a therapist is a great step. Just always know, you'll be throwing away your life if you ever act on it. It's not worth it.
Conditioning yourself to adult females
may also help.
>>769058300
The fact that you're even considering getting rid of your ASPD is a great first step! Most people with ASPD don't seek out help.
How about seeking out a therapist?
>>769058506
I have an MA in Psychology and I'm on the long journey of getting a doctorate.
>>769058567
Well, you might have to make a choice but at the same time:your fantasies are only limited by your imagination. You'll always have that.
>>769053251
Why have you bececame a psychologist?
>>769058517
virped.org has some suggestions on finding therapists. Look up mandatory reporting rules in your state and be careful and patient.
It was dumb luck, in my case. I started seeing her about autism (Asperger's) and mild depression, and eventually broached the pedo subject several months later when I figured she knew I wasn't a threat to anyone.
>>769058673
I've tried therapy for six years and so far no changes...
I want to get help for it because I feel as if I'm missing out on a lot of things in life
>>769053251
How do I actually get women to sleep with me? Im about as attractive as I can be with my body.
>>769053407
bump
>>769053251
You can get anything you want at alice's restaurant
>>769058971
Two reasons:
1. I really deeply wanted to help people.
2. I was intrigued by abnormality and wanted to analyze it as much as possible.
>>769059026
Well, if you've been diagnosed think about it this way.
I think you're doing much better since you feel like you want to change it at all.
Do you see people as tools to just manipulate? Don't you think viewing people like that would be harmful to you sooner or later? Start training your cognition!
>>769058990
thank you. im glad you were able to find a therapist who did not hurt you. i dont think i will ever try it myself. i would not recommend anon's treatment of associating your sexual attraction to nausea, as i think it would cause even greater distress and frustration.
as for your question the only resources i feel are available to us are from each other. im currently suicidally depressed and probably not a very good resource, or else i would offer to give you my contact info.
>>769053251
what do you think about wim hof ?
>>769059099
Be as confident as possible! Try to maintain yourself and be yourself, you'd be sure to attract some ladies like that. Always play of your strengths.
>>769059329
This isn't her restaurant though! It's thatta way! >>>>>>>>
I've been with my gf for over two years now. We've been intimate. Yet I still get nervous whenever that time comes. Not only that, I still can't comprehend how could anyone love me so genuinely and truly accept me, as I will probably never accept myself.
>>769059467
That confidence will slowly dwindle the longer I'm with a person, I trust them, they find out I'm not all Mr. Cool, then it all falls apart! Also. How the shit do I figure out my strengths?
>>769059438
I just searched him and he's pretty amazing! It's like he's a super hero, hehe.
>>769059493
Sounds like you have pretty low confidence. DO you love your girlfriend? Sounds like she loves you. If someone else can love you, you're definitely lovable. Try asking her what she likes about you.
>>769058673
I accidentally conditioned myself to naturally small-breasted women and transgender women on HRT who haven't had top surgery. Close enough I guess.
I met my girlfriend abroad and lived with her for a year. I'm back in my home country and I've been in a long distance relationship with her. I fully trust her, but I find her boring. Even in person. I can't break up with her because I fully support her and she would die, and I do love her.
Should I cheat? She would never know. I have needs too.
Also I can't talk to her about it because she was cheated on before and would freak out about it.
>>769059344
If I want something from someone that's when I'll get closer to them, I don't care about their friendship or what their past. I just want what I want, and over time I realized that was wrong but it didn't feel wrong to me. So I continue to do it to this day without even noticing it
>>769059814
in my experiences online, transgender people are much more likely to understand and accept you
>>769059864
>she would die
isnt that a bit dramatic ?
>>769059387
virped has a mailing list. The idea of signing up to it weirds me out, personally.
Please reconsider finding someone though. It'll be a frustrating process, but talking about it with someone who is professionally non-judgemental is nice.
>>769059728
No, no! You have to keep on telling yourself to be confident. Everytime you start thinking negatively about yourself, you have to immediately start converting those thoughts to positive ones! It sounds silly, but this is the main basis of CBT.
>>769059344
Why do you feel the need to help people?
>>769053251
You are a liar.
I ask you only why you would be such a cunt as to do this?
>>769059761
I've heard a voice in my head for the past 13 years, it started around the time I saw a family member die (i still have flashbacks to that). when I was younger it was pretty bad, I still have bad days where I just hear it shouting. I was diagnosed with depression and PTSD a few years back. the way i see it i have 2 options, go back on medication or try different forms of talking therapy again. I was on medication for a while but it felt like it made me switch off if that makes sense
>>769059761
I love her from the bottom of my nearly-not-feeling heart. I mean, if I can be sure of one feeling I have left, it's love for her. It's been only two years,I know, but she's been through a lot, and I'm still there to support her.
Only... I started feeling worse, and I think it may be her problems wearing me down.
It's not always about her, don't get me wrong. When I had a bad day a few times she was fully supportive to me, but... I just prefer not to tell her, so she wouldn't be burdened by my "bad day" when she has real problems. And I know bottling feelings up isn't healthy, but.. It's the best option I have you know?
I promised to myself I'll get her out of that situation those two years back. Now it's today and were still "looking forward to a brighter future". And I always cheer her up by that, but... One can only look forward to things for so long. And after this time I'm just... tired. I love her, I want to be with her, but... I'm just tired. And I don't know what to do.
>>769060313
No. She literally has no skills. She would lose her pets, house, and food for herself. Her only skill is being a maid, which is practically a slave in her country.
Autist here.
All this happened in an IT room at uni while several other people from my class were present.
While we were bored she showed me a stupid browser game and while playing she poked me in the sides, touched my hand to grab the mouse but also kept her hand on mine a bit longer.
She also looked me deep into the eyes and was also staring at my lips while I was talking at times.
I've asked her two weeks in a row if she wants to do sth but both times she said next week.
Now what the hell should I make of all this?
>>769060016
Speaking from experience here. I always kept people around that might be useful in the future. I'd never really burn relationships but I never really cared about people in the first place, just as something I could use for my own gain. It wasn't ideal, but I developed a method where I'd try to make an exchange where both parties benefited, both me and the other so I could keep a good healthy relationship with them. It meant I could continue benefiting in the future and I never cut off anyone to hurt them unless I viewed it as necessary. Again, it's not where you want to be in the end, but it could help as a first step to develop something like that.
(Also I'm doing much better now after some
more life experience and therapy)
>>769060605
How old is she ?
>>769053251
Explain in layman's terms the changes to the DSM regarding sadomasochism.
>>769060807
Older than 25
>>769060324
i used to have a login to the forum. but i feel its too dangerous to find a professional. and i also feel there is nothing they can do for me.
i did once have email correspondence with therapist who was interested in talking to me in an informal, non-patient way. he was certainly nonjudgmental and very good at understanding my feelings and issues. but he did kind of tell me he wasn't sure a therapist would be able to even provide me with any benefit i couldn't get from just talking to a friend... and i do have an internet friend in the same position i am in.
>>769060849
she wont die, just break up with her if you dont want to be with her.
Youre not responsible for her life... shes not a kid
>>769053251
Hi Psychologist-chan.
I'm considering suicide again. I have a bunch of Ativans, and in a couple weeks I can get my DL renewed, and buy a bunch of booze. Plan is to drink around half or more of the bottle and down all of the Ativans. I'll probably black out and die.
I'm a useless tranny drug addict and I don't see a point in going on or trying anymore.
hey Alice <3
>>769054696
I do, but it's a shitty 16.8/h securi-shit job that I've been there for over 2 years. Getting real fucking tired of it.
Had a friend put in a good word for me to work at Best Buy. Probably had the best interview I've ever had and thought my chances were good, but I should have know better to get my hopes up.
Why is happiness the only emotion I can feel?
>>769054792
If pic related happens, then I'll work hard to help pay off the house and take care of my family. As of now, they still have like 8-12 years to pay it off or something up there.
>>769053251
why am i fucking autistic OP?
also why do i think im better than everyone else (i am tho but idk why i express it so much)
>>769061056
I love her. I just think she's boring sometimes and I want sex.
>>769061658
this explains alot of /b/
also youre better in what ?
being autistic and trying to get one up on me ?
>>769061763
well then idk.
maybe get her to your country, marry and have kids ?
and forget the sex thing ?
Sorry for the delay! Hm...so many replies...
>>769059814
Nothing wrong with that!
>>769059864
No, you shouldn't cheat. That'd be destroying the value of both your relationship. If you find her boring, try to spice up both your guys lives.
>>769060016
But you have noticed you do it. So you have to continue trying to fix yourself. Seeing others as tools is bad for you in the long one. Start seeing them as people, with feelings.
>>769060394
Because...it's hard to answer that, to be honest.
It can be something selfish like just the fact that it makes me feel good.
>>769060520
Sounds like Schizophrenia. You should definitely start seeking further therapy and medication, both at the same time.
>>769060560
But you care for her. You have to keep going for youself and her. It might be tough but it really matters. Your love is worth fighting for. Maybe even suffering for. But do let her know how you feel.
>>769060646
Well...if you're interested in her, you can try asking her out again. Tell her to tell it to you straight: do you like me or not?
>>769060837
I'ma have to check my copy of it, tbh. I'll get back to you.
>>769061067
No! You can't do it! Please, I'm there for you. *hugs* Why do you feel this way?
>>769061166
Wrong~
>>769060957
It is dangerous, but seeing someone also helps your case a bit if you're ever in trouble, and helps you stay out of trouble in the first place.
Yeah I was kind of reckless about it in retrospect, but you can feel someone out before letting the cat out of the bag. Bringing up mandatory reporting rules can clue them in that something is up, without giving cause to think you're a danger to anyone.
Ideally you find someone who works with you to avoid saying something that triggers a report. Trying out several therapists before picking one to stay with isn't unusual.
Good luck, stay strong.

Hmm...I'd say keep looking for work but take solace in the fact that you have parents who care for you, and who you care for. *Hugs* I hope it gets better.
Don't worry, I'm sure things will start looking up. What matters is that you're trying for them. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Are you diagnosed with Autism? And it's good to have confidence, but not to get too narcissistic.
>>769061844
We live in different countries now. We can't spice things up. I don't want to break up with her, but I do want sex. It's been like a year.
>>769061844
>Why do you feel this way?
My parents disowned me, and I'm basically broke.
I've completely lost interest in my major and hobbies, and I don't know how I'm going to finish college.
I've been on hormones for roughly a year now, and I'm in a zone of androgyny where theoretically I could pass if I forced it by changing my outfits, but I can't afford any, so I essentially have to boymode all the time.
And what's more, girlmoding is incredibly stressful because I just feel like a freak.
Every morning I wake up and dream of dying.
>>769053251
i had a dream of my friend falling on those vietnamese spike traps with his blood and intestines going everywhere - remember every detail. for a while now had sexual drive to murder and dead bodies.
whats wrong with me? im a bit worried
>>769061995
thank you for the advice, brother.
stay well.
>>769053251
Why can't I find the will or courage to talk to woman?
>>769062193
Why do you both have to live apart?
If things start getting too strained, you should consider being in a relationship where you can make love with the person that you love.
>>769062252
Mm...that's sounds really rough...
But you shouldn't feel like a freak. You're just being you. You're a girl, not a man. Of course you'll feel bad if you look like a man.
I'm sorry about your living conditions...I wish I could help you more, I really do. *Hugs*
Look at it like this. You've made it this far. You have to keep going. Make some friends who are transgender and you can share this with. They're plenty of people like that.
Even if on the outside you can't be yourself, at least you are in the inside. You absolutely can't think of yourself as a freak.
>>769053251
I love you is overused, go do something about it!
I like it when people cum on female friends i know. I ocassionaly post their pics and request a cumtribute. I dont even think they are hot but just the thought of them doing lewd things gets me off. Am i fucked up ? How to cure it ?
Sometimes I want to kill myself others I can't sleep from fear of death
>>769062420
Sexual fantasies might pop up like this. It doesn't exactly mean somethings wrong, but you start conditioning yourself to enjoy more normal sexual acts (regular porn). Try to forget about it.
>>769062496
Be confident in yourself! It's always worth a shot. I mean, if they reject you, no harm done. Just be confident.
Look how content Johnny Bravo is with life!
>>769053251
are you jewish?
>>769062570
Mm? I don't understand?
>>769062605
Well, you'll probably ruin your relationship with them if they find out what you do with their pics. Just try to keep it in your head and then it's not hurting anyone.
>>769062660
These fantasies are dangerous and may indicate symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. You should seek help from a real life therapist!
>>769062766
Nope! Why would you think that?
>>769053251
why psychology? i find it very limited and hard to be a psychotherapist as you filter peoples' problems through yourself
im doing sociology and feel like it grasps much wider fields. also favourite scholar? mines lacan :3
>>769062939
Jews like to call themselves "psychologists" to control goyim.
My problem with modern psychologists is that (I think) most of them dont discriminate between higher and lower people.
Do you?
>inb4 psychopath sociopath not enough attention, authoriterian disorder blah blah
>>769063167
its jokes to read 4chan but sometimes i cant even understand if you are for real or just trolling. its very sad if you are serious...
>>769062911
But i actually dont give a shit about them being friends with me but sometimes when we go out and i just see them i kinda regret it because i'll never see them as i did before
>>769063122
Because Psychology focuses on the individual, and this can provide a lot of insight on the mind and cognition! I do really respect Sociology and Anthropology, though. I even took an Anthropology course!
My favourites are Rosenhan, Adler, Jordan Peterson...etc..Too many to name!
>>769063167
Haha, you're not a Sociopath. You just happen to have some very...strong beliefs.
Discriminate in what way, though? Could you elaborate on that?
>>769063303
Well, you're not really hurting anyone. I think it's weird but not harmful. You probably do have a case of voyeuristic disorder, though. If it's something that you want fixed, conditioning can really help.
>>769061844
Ugh, I'll..... I'll keep fighting for it I guess. Not that I have any options.
But getting it off my chest somehow made it a little bit bearable, thank you anon.
>>769063631
Hey, you're taking the hard way but the right one.
And thank you for coming out to talk to me. It means a lot to me, as well.
>>769063398
you should check out Ernst Mach's Analysis of Sensations - im assuming you know that guy and that he is a physicist, however, he writes about the relationship of your body, your ego and the outside world. a philosophical work, but gives insight into how we interact with and perceive the different types of stimuli and information. pic related is from that book
Hey everyone! I had a pleasure talking to all of you. I'm so proud of everyone here who took the time and had the courage to speak up about themselves.
If you have any further questions, I'm available at [email protected]
(sorry if my replies are a tad bit sporadic!)
See you everyone! And stay strong. I'm with you, okay?
>>769063870
I'll look into it!
Thanks you so much for the suggestion~
>>769063771
I don't know why I always take the harder way, but oh well. Life isn't about simplicity, is it?
And I don't know how I could be of any help, but... I guess you're welcome? It's nothing, really
>>769063960
cheers for chatting anon
Hello,
I have self diagnosed ocd which made me tap things and pull out my hair that were rough. I would also step over lines or switch on and off switches or else I thought something bad would happen. Around 2013 I became very isolated and began to think that I was living in an illusion and that god was talking to me through my ocd. I walked wherever my mind told me. A bit later I became very close with someone and it wore off so I didn’t think I had it anymore. Later, I again became isolated and thought my ocd was god talking to me and would do weird things. My brain told me to do these weird things or something bad would happen to me, so I did. I went to my family doctor and told her “ I hear voices in my head telling me to do things” but in actuality it was my own thoughts telling me if I didn’t act on my compulsions something bad would happen. She diagnosed me with schizophrenia and is now forcing medication on me. My question is, do u think I have schizophrenia or something else? I am on medication and still have thoughts, however I noticed I have been relatively fine since I have made another close friend and am no long by myself.
Thank you
>>769063290
fug of if you care if I am serious or not
>>769063618
I mean that you should see a difference between a sheep and a higher human.
>>769064608
It's a mixture of both OCD and Schizophrenia (sorry for the short reply)
The treatment for Schizophrenia should help you with OCD too. Ask them for CBT as well.
>>769064771
are U sure it’s schizophrenia? Because I don’t hear voices or have delusions. She only diagnosed me with it after I mistakingly said I have a voice in my head when it’s really my thoughts telling me if I don’t do something a certain way something bad will happen.
>>769061844
if you aren't alice then who
>>769064940
AH, I misunderstood then. It's not schizophrenia. You do have an irrational belief, but it's not severe enough to be schizo.
>>769053251
how far are you with the seldon plan?
>>769053251
>"bugs bunny"!!? What's up doc!
>>769053251
Hi, I don't feel connected to my emotions, I know my body is telling me I am happy, I am sad, etc but I don't actually feel these things in my heart anymore.
I think due to years of neglect, and bullying (which I unfortunately beat the crap out of my bully, and then realised he only did it to make me feel what he was feeling to bully others, like some sick c*nt spreading AIDs).
My family and friends are very happy with me, we hang out, talk. play and take very good care of each other now.
But I still feel as if my emotions are trapped, and I've become somewhat emotionless. Sometimes I watch very depressing things to see if I still have a heart to care for others (which I do) but feel extremely disconnected none the less.
I have a seemingly perfect life. I'm in university. My parents have money. I have a great car. I live in a dope house. I travel very often. I am "famous". I make my own money since I'm 16. I read, consume TV series, watch movies. I fuck tinder whores every week or so. I am ripped since I've been a gym-goer since I was 15. Nothing could get better than this, yet I've been sad since I can remember being human. Everyday I have moments of genuine laughter and happiness but I'd say 70% of my life was just sadness. No one knows about this and I've kept it all inside. I've been a cynic and a skeptic since I was a kid. I have intrusive thoughts and my internal reaction to extern stimuli aka my thoughts are normally bad. I am a bad person on the inside as in I'm always criticizing others etc. Yet I am the kindest person I know and this takes a toll on me. I don't know what triggered this empathy I have for others. It seems fake and genuine at the same time. I always acted with kindness when it comes to others and on the rare occasions I messed up with someone I can remember those situations for years and some of them have stuck with me since forever. Also, everyone thinks I'm so confident and I, myself, recognize that I really do look confident. Yet it's all staged on an extreme level. As I'm walking on the street I feel so insecure yet I feel like I'm the best looking guy out there at the same time. I could be some kind of narcissist, I don't know. It's weird. I don't see a point in most stuff, although I live a somewhat hedonistic life, I don't indulge in stuff. I keep everything to a moderation. I feel that I'm just condemned to being unhappy. Is it possible to actually be depressed since I'm 15 until now that I'm 20? I've been feeling this ache for the last year or so. It's the literal description of 'heartbreak' as in I might feel physical pain on my chest for half a second. And on most days I'll get like 3 or 4 downs or maybe more. They last for couple secs.
>>768772955
hey, first of all thanks for doing this
so, to give you a little background:
im 20 years old, was in a clinic last year and got diagnosed with medium to heavy depression - actually my therapist said its a double depression but i dont know if thats a thing.
some days i barely get myself to do something, i get myself to run now and then but most of the days i barely get myself out of my flat or work. since quite a bit it all seems so tiring and without any purpose. im already taking antidepressants and most days when i dont think about it its okay but its getting alot more times where it just pulls my mood more down that i have to take them. i dont feel like i belong here, honestly, i feel like a financial burden, i cant even have fun in videogames anymore which used to give me at least some good feelings, i guess i feel more and more drawn to actual drugs just because then at least ill have something giving my alright feelings even if it destroys me. my therapist tells me it will get better but honestly...it seems like life is just shitty in general and doesnt seem to be worth it. wat do
