Trapped in the city of one loo

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

this is about as helpful as saying, "i'm allergic to penicillin and it nearly killed me once. you shouldn't take antibiotics."

in fact, even if one therapist and type of therapy don't help someone, this means nothing about whether a different therapist/type of therapy might prove helpful for them.

i just wish it wasn't so fucking inconvenient, time-consuming and expensive to therapist shop, because that's a serious barrier to actually finding someone who can help. :/

the last part is the only reason i don't have a therapist

that, and the idea of opening up to someone like that terrifies me even though i know it would probably help a lot. i just imagine wasting so much money only to clam up like i imagine i would

this thread is going to get deleted soon but as someone who doesn't like talking about my feelings either, therapists are used to this. it took me 3-4 sessions before i was comfortable enough with my therapist to start talking about my real issues, they expect it
