No my parents forced me to keep going to shrink after shrink as a kid because they refused to believe I was autistic despite most of them telling them that. Eventually they got one to say I was "bipolar with a psychotic edge" (which isn't even a real thing) and was zombified with antipsychotics from ages 12-16. They still believe, "I'm just pretending to be autistic to hurt them" which would be a pretty impressive masquerade going on three decades now.

So no, fuck that noise.

I did for a bit. I should've kept with it, but I have no discipline

Racket for the Jews.

I don't believe in Jewish pseudosciences

No, I just take psychedelics and my fucked up brain is cured for awhile and then the effects wear off after a couple months and I have to trip again.

jfc sorry for your experience man
you doing good now? i assume you dont talk to your old folks anymore?

>>211659326
honestly, i'm just here for the fucked up bpd baddies

>>211659595
Whatever works

i agreed to a short run of cognitive behavioral therapy for my OCD once. it didn't really help.

>>211659323
So they were fine with bipolar but not autism?

>>211659323
I remember telling my psychiatrist she isn't helping me at all and we parted ways. Still no clue how much money my parents wasted on her

>>211659595
I still talk to my parents and our relationship has improved a lot since I left home at 18 but deep down I know I'll always resent what they did and their passing isn't going to bother me like it should.

The latter is infinitely more embarrassing, which I get but I also couldn't just "snap out of it!" like they kept screaming at me over and over. It just isn't possible.

most people that think they need therapy actually need money
>inb4 rich people are sad too!1!!
yeah no shit, but for the majority of people struggling with stuff like feeling inadequate, loneliness, FOMO etc. money and things that come with it really are the answer, even if just indirectly

>>211658787 (OP)
no drugs work on me, i'm an absolute abyss.

>>211660461
never went for talk therapy?

>>211660496
i did but rarely, it rather hard for me to express myself or really apply whatever my psychologist told me to. maybe i should go more after seeing how my mental state decreased over the years.

>>211660044
hot take but i agree
even $100k is enough for me lol

>>211661031
I think no 'enough' exists really, but honestly the lion's share of problems that people on here complain about are solvable through money and the opportunities money opens
Most people just aren't the deep thinkers full of existential dread that they think themselves to be, it's a convenient excuse to feel slightly-less-shit about oneself, but the moment things improve even marginally (through some sort of effort or sheer luck) they're out of their sad phase and back to embracing everything they previously thought to be "normie shit"

Why would I need to go to therapy?
I can just as easily just bottle everything up, and then commit suicide at the age of 35.
Same outcome, really.
