Does anyone have any good online therapy recs? I wanna go to therapy, but its really expensive in my area and I dont want to go in person due to my social anxiety. That and I struggle to get my real thoughts out when sitting in front of someone, its easier for me to get them out through text. Anything except Betterhelp, cuz Ive heard that they treat their therapists poorly and I've seen a lot of people say theyve had bad experiences with it- more bad experiences than good.
I know I’ve posted abt it before but I’ll preach it from the rooftops, therapy is INCREDIBLY difficult to get, especially because it’s so expensive but let me let u in on something, therapy CAN BE FREE. You have to do a lot of digging and sometimes you even have to go to offices in person to get any answers but trust me, if you need therapy or know someone who needs it it is so worth it to dig around. (Of course the fact that you HAVE to fight so hard for free therapy is a flaw that should be fixed but until that happens we’re forced to go to the extremes) if you don’t know where to start look up “free therapy options near me” and do some digging, then if you find a place that offers something you send them as many emails as possible, call them, go there if you can. And get something sorted. If there’s nothing online then just look up offices near you and do the same thing, call, email, tell them your story, don’t be abrasive, just be pushy. If you need help but you can’t afford it, you need to advocate for yourself. It’s a shame because some people need therapy because they CANT advocate for themselves.
i think that mayhaps therapy should be cheaper. Or free. Mostly free. It should be more accessible.
(I’m having to convince my younger cousin that she Should Not feel guilty FOR FUCKING EATING. I love trying to convince a literal middle schooler not to develop an eating disorder. I should be paid for this.)
I just convinced my therapist that her new puppy is a small trickster spirit that that she accidentally acquired dominion over

If you don’t have means to a therapist or mental health professional
Check out therapistaid.com. There’s worksheets there that you can download for free.
Of course it would be a lot more beneficial if you have a therapist to help you through it but not everyone has access to one.
It’s a free site where you can have free downloads of worksheets on many things.
If there’s something there that you think would be helpful, print it out and complete the worksheet on your own.
It’s hard to be accountable for yourself but at least there’s a way for you to have some insight and work on yourself.

Your Pathetic Bisexual Not Wanting Therapy?
Here’s what to do!
(This does not just apply to bisexuals)
First, give them a stuffed animal and make sure they’re cuddled up tight!
next, wrap them in a blanket and make sure they can’t escape!
Finally, look up therapy resources and begin to go through them! One of the ones I’ve used is a trauma workbook linked here (it’s for children but sometimes there is little difference)
Trying to figure out if my social anxiety is a result of my depression or if my depression is a result of my social anxiety

Asylum bakugou? Like, when he was around 4-8 years old, every day afterschool he'd have to go see a psychologist at this asylum place, and he didn't want deku to be around him much cuz there's something wrong with him and he can't change that.
This leads to deku thinking his quirklessness is why bakugou stays away from him but that's not the case. Bakugou has intense anger issues due to a chemical imbalance in his body thanks to his quirk. He needs to go for coping skills and meditation. Or else his anger is 10x worse.
It gets better after a couple years. Now he just goes once a week, and then, the SLUDGE VILLAIN ATTACK TAKES PLACE.
Shit went down hill and he has to go for therapy 3 times a week.
Then USJ, sports festival and Kamino happen and bakugou needs to go to therapy nearly everyday, his classmates think he doesn't like hanging out with people when in reality, he can't because therapy. but it isn't enough, none of the meds are working well enough and the only way to take care of it was training training training even more because if he was better ALLMIGHT WOULD HAVE NEVER RETIRED. he works himself to exhaustion.
Eventually it gets so bad his stress is making his chemical imbalance worse and he's lashing out more and more. The provisional licence exam was fucked. But the deku vs Kacchan helped a wittle.
Aizawa pulls him to the side after a really bad 'tantrum' (God I hate this word) to scold him but all bakugou can do is shake and run to his dorm. Aizawa and the class were dumbfounded. They went to Bakugou's room to see what's wrong but they just walk in to see him wreaking his room in utter panic looking for something, a white bottle...
Aizawa stooped in and talked to him in private to figure out what's going on. The others wanted to know what's going on but decided to wait like the good angels they are. Bakugou mutters out a brief explanation. You see, since bakugou is in the dorms, he can't exactly go to therapy. He goes once every 2 weeks but in reality he needs to go 2 times a week. So the boy's been pretty fucked out. Aizawa is upset that bakugou kept it in all this time and at himself for not reaching out sooner or even looking through the student files more in detail.
Not to mention his parents only get him his meds when they're almost empty. They cant bother to get even a backup. Just when it's almost done. They cause 3/4 of his stress.
So, Aizawa calls for a staff meeting with bakugou there to get his view and opinion. Its gonna be a long night. Midnight, the bitch, made a comment how if he runs out of meds then they can tie him up like the sports festival. Cementoss and allmight chuckle (I'm passive aggressive). They didnt realize katsuki flinching and ever so slightly trembling. Dadzawa notices. He is LIVID.
Recovery girl shut them up and told in the most deadpan voice "I'm ashamed to have coworkers like you".
Recovery girl takes bakugou outside. She turns to katsuki and says "child, I'll get those medication for you one way or another, either with the school's medical finances or my own." She then went to call some people to buy the meds in bulk. While rubbing Bakugou's back which is so soothing for him that he sleeps.
Inside the room, aizawa had just finished chewing out the others. Nezu also said "that is rather inappropriate ta know?" While sipping tea like the dictator he might be. Aizawa and mic call Bakugou's parents and well, they aren't exactly liars. Cue, Dadzawa and present dad with katsuson. ❤❤❤
Deku and bakugou have a long talk after everything is taken care of (the next day). The others watch out for Bakugou's condition and even visit his therapist, Ms. Aiko. She's a god sent. Everything improves much more. Bakugou has never felt better. He feels something he hasn't for a long time. He feels normal, validated. Himself for once.
Thus, the story of bakugou getting love and comfort while still being the badass #1 he is and always will be.
I hope this satisfies. ❤
Good therapy ≠ less depression sometimes
So I've been thinking back to when I went to therapy a while ago, and while it was great for giving me perspective about how it's okay to feel like shit with all the things you're going through (and how the therapists were honestly surprised i wasn't doing worse) in the long run I think it made my depression far worse. It started the trend of me trying to look at all my problems subjectively. I kinda miss being ignorant cause it turns out most of my issues are things I can't even affect if I wanted to and life kinda sucks...

Hello! I’m Abby! I’m known by Artsy Abby and I’m a mental health advocate as well as social justice fighter. I raise awareness for world issues and a provide links to articles so people can educate themselves on the subject as well as petitions and relief funds for people in need. I have a lot of links in groups based on events and times. For example, as a member of both the LGBTQ+ and POC communities, I’ve got a lot of links that are relevant right now I’ve added to those specific sections. I also have spreadsheets for peaceful protests depending on event (BLM, Roe v Wade, so on and so forth), state/country and affordable therapy (both singular and group). Those can all be found in my linktree attached below.
On top of all that, I’m an influencer and rising musician! I wanted to use my platform for good, and my lyrics always touch on something that people can relate to. Wether it’s mental health struggles, love, feeling alone, you name it, I’ve got a song for that. I want people to know that they’re not alone.
I am currently looking for a studio to record in and a management team or maybe find some sort of agency to work with! I think I have a lot of potential and would love for others to see that.
I just released my third album, Mixed Signals, it’s currently being put on all platforms and I would love to know what y’all think! Here is the link for Apple Music https://music.apple.com/us/album/mixed-signals/1631347119

Moonlight, 2016 IS my therapy and I’m not ashamed of that fact, it’s a beautiful film
11/14/22 UPDATE: I’ve taken both “Naruto: The Last King, The Last Priest” and “Therapist R. J. Hill” off my etsy store. Both comics can be read, in their entirety, on this tumblr.
It’s here! A hard copy version of my comic -- including a ten page sequel! $5.00 + shipping
I was debating whether or not to post the sequel online. I thought maybe the sequel would be the motivator for people to buy the hard copy, but I already have mixed feelings about selling fanwork, so I’m gonna go ahead and post the sequel here.
That said, purchasing a hard copy helps me out. I’m hoping to put the money towards some color risograph zines that I can take to an upcoming comix convention.
I’m putting the sequel under a cut because, while it doesn’t contain explicit imagery, it does involve discussion of a parent making inappropriate/incestuous comments towards a child.

This is as far as I had planned these comics going. I may revisit the idea, but probably not for awhile. Thanks for the wonderful messages that y’all have sent me!

10 Prompts for Shadow Work
🌒 🌕 🌘
Keep track of your feelings from day to day. Record how you felt and try to pin point why you felt certain ways in different situations. How could you habe handled it better? Why did you react the way you did?
Write a letter to your past self, or your future self. Then break down your thoughts on why you said the things you did. Address any emotions that pop up during this process and record them. Why did you feel that way? What events in your life made you right what you did?
Are you living true to yourself? Are you changing who you are based on who you're around? What are those changes? Why do you make those changes?
Are you holding on to something or someone that you should let go of? Why do you hold on to it? What are steps you can take to let go of it?
What are your fears? Your REAL fears not just spiders or heights. Why are you afraid of those things? Are there any steps you can take to lessen that fear?
How do you treat the people in your life? Is there anything you could do for them to better your relationships? Are you being a positive, healthy influence on their life or are you being a toxic one? If toxic, what changes are you going to make to your behavior to stop being toxic?
What do you wish other people knew about you? Why do you keep it hidden?
Are you healing from past traumas and or incidents or have you just distracted yourself? What healthy ways could you address unhealed trauma in order to move to a healthier place?
Make a list of people you don't like. Why don't you like them? Are they actually bad or do you see bad parts of yourself reflecting in them and that's why you don't like them? Be honest.
Write down everything that happens to you in a week that makes you feel bad in any way. Examine this list and ask why certain events make you feel bad.
BONUS: Write down what you believe about a variety of things (from religion and karma all the way down to relationships and your career path). Why do you believe those things? Are these feelings set in stone or are you willing to accept alternate views? Why or why not?
Remember Shadow work is all about unlocking your subconscious. This helps you understand yourself better which is important for many different aspects in witchcraft, and your star seed will thank you for it.

You ever experience ordering a couple pizzas then immediately after get confronted for your manic behavior that’s starting to spiral into another depression pit so you get emotionally blackmailed into finally actually trying therapy
This isn’t a very nice early birthday present and I want to return it
My thoughts on why Ash let Eiji borrow his gun even though they just met:
So I was wondering for awhile on why Ash lent Eiji his gun and the most likely reason that I could come up with is because Eiji asked for permission, and Ash was touched by Eiji's politeness and sincerity that's why he lets him borrow his gun.
But why though? For someone who would go as far as blowing someone's finger off, he trusted Eiji with his gun too easily and quickly
I'll tell you why, it's cause Eiji asked for permission, for consent. The fact that Ash trusted a stranger with his gun shows that no one ever asked first before touching his gun. Just a simple "Can I hold your gun?" was all it took and all that Ash needed to let someone touch his gun.
So, consent, right? Ash wants someone that asks for consent first, right? He shot a drunk guy's fingers off because he tried to touch his gun, right? RIGHT?
Riddle me this, what's an act that is done without the consent of the victim and that Ash has experienced throughout his life?
THAT'S RIGHT!
Abuse, r*pe, and manipulation!
And do you know that gun has another meaning other than a weapon used to shoot people?
THAT'S MOTHERFUCKING RIGHT BITCHES
A 🍌 or biceps, a body part
So Ash wanted someone to ask for consent before touching his gun,
Ash wanted to have a say on whether he wanted his gun held or not, cause it's his own fucking gun. You hear me? his OWN MOTHERFUCKING GUN
ASH KEEPS TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE CLOSE TO HIM, PEOPLE WHO DARE NOT TOUCH HIS GUN (HIS GANG FRIENDS), AND PEOPLE WHO ASKS FOR CONSENT BEFORE TOUCHING HIS GUN (EIJI)
So that's my theory on why Ash let Eiji hold his gun and why I need therapy
“And how did you feel before you met them?”
“I guess I wanted somebody who saw me as superman”
