>>40113984therapy is kinda a two way road. i'm not sure what you meant by blackmailed into it but when you are in therapy, they can only help you as much as you're willing to let them. a lot of people think therapy is just someone saying "and how does that make you feel?" or even worse some kinda government mind control thing, but in reality i see it as kinda a mutual partnership. you gotta give them stuff to work with, they give their input, you go back and forth like that. a lot of people get to therapy and then just kinda shut down and then say therapy doesn't work.
i think it's good that you can recognize these negative things you are doing. sometimes it can be frustrating to know exaxtly what is "wrong" with us and our behavior yet we continue to do it. i know that when i started to become a healthy weight (i used to be ghastly underweight) i began to hate myself really bad over it. but then i thought "well wait a sec, i think other people look good at a healthy weight... so why am i acting like i'm somehow different?"
we are often most cruel and unforgiving to ourselves. something i often like to do is pretend that someone else is telling me what they're thinking about and i'm reacting. if one of your friends came to you saying they felt gross and awful for being bisexual and it made them want to commit suicide, what would you say?
overall i am glad to have been of some help for you tonight. apologies if i'm rambly myself! i really hope you stay strong for a bit longer and that therapy can help you unravel some of the internalized hatred you have unfortunately picked up over your life. just remember that no one is born with hatred in their heart. you can completely remove it from your being and you'll be all the better for it!
