  It’s not a break from reality. It IS reality. It’s just that human nests - any conquered space of nature, be it urban or rural - has a habit of becoming a panopticon torture complex that we don’t very much enjoy being in

  Sounds more like a break from a crushing capitalist system.

    This was in the context of COVID:

    Nanjikana said he has taken some positives away from the experience, such as a forced break from the chaos of a global pandemic.

    “I had no idea what was going on while I was out there. I didn’t hear about Covid or anything else,” he said. “I look forward to going back home but I guess it was a nice break from everything.”

    Exactly. It’s no reality people want to escape. It’s honest reality people want to find.

  Is therapy really that good? I know lots of folks that have been to therapy. They’re still shit.

    If you have very thoughtful friends or family members that you talk to and can be honest with about… Everything, then that fits the bill.

    Also if it’s just the “someone to listen to you” thing there are other free alternatives e.g online (with the extra anonymity, which is nice) or to a catholic/orthodox/high anglican priest, or to a volunteer counselling group (one big one exists in my city).

    If you’re not willing or feeling the need to give it a try, I would recommend reading about psychological concepts. Or just watch someone such as Daniel Mackler and you might learn to heal yourself through osmosis.

    Therapy allowed me to let my guard down enough to see who I really am. That was pretty invaluable. Not easy or fun, but worth.

      Yes…but have you tried a 29 day, 696 hour vacation on a boat?

    I don’t think it’s just as simple as going to therapy but I’ve been in therapy for years and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I really got to work through stuff that I had been dealing with for years. I think it’s hard to figure it out on your own, but I don’t think a therapist is the only thing you need.

    If you genuinely want to change and find a therapist who can help you find the right resources to do it, it’s invaluable.

    I went to therapy and found a bunch of NEW things that I was (successfully) suppressing.

    I PAID to have MORE problems. I can’t afford ME.

    Just do AI therapy!

    It will tell you you’re great, and you won’t have to risk any emotional vulnerability with a real person!

  To go to a doctor, I have to be too weak to resist. Takes about two weeks.

  • FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    See I don’t have that problem because the waiting lists are like 1 month anyway so I instead try to predict what problem I will develop next week 😮‍💨😁
