Are any of you the eldritch horror of the friend group while simultaneously being the therapist and mom friend???
I’m still frustrated at my last therapist because she really insinuated that asexuals don’t have feelings. She was trying to explain the difference between romantic and platonic relationships and kept saying it was about the sexual attraction, but I brought up that asexuals can still have romantic relationships, and then I had to explain what that was and then she was like “oh yes, I know about that” and I was like “clearly you don’t”. But she continued and said “If a person brings their partner flowers, their partner will like it, but asexuals won’t have that same feeling.”
“What if the asexual likes flowers? Wouldn’t they still be happy with it?”
“Asexuals wouldn’t be able to feel that because they can’t feel like normal people do. They don’t have emotions.” Or something along those lines. I repeated it slowly back to her, and she quickly backtracked but it didn’t seem like her response was very different.

I hope anyone who need this get better. you deserve it
????😭😭😭
"how are you feeling today?" gives me war flashbacks.
My new first-time ever therapist attacked me today 🙄 You don't need to peg my entire lift down in one chart ma'am. Even if it is all somewhat VERY true.
typical therapy sesh
Me: sorry, you probably don't wanna be burdened by my problems
My therapist: 👁👄👁
webcam acquired (old one broke) now I can finally be a camboy (see my therapist again)
Of to go confront my therapist about breaking confidentiality…
Wish me luck!!!!
I asked my therapist and she didn’t have an answer so I turn to tumblr
I get this feeling sometimes and it’s usually when I’m overwhelmed either REALLY happy or any amount of upset and it’s like I go from feeling like I usually do (mid teens, a bit younger then I actually am) to feeling like I’m back to grub a child.
I have no idea what this is so and idea of what it is would be great.
I have been struggling with depression lately, but it’s mostly related to my struggles with chronic illness and the lack of support I have from my medical providers. I need to start this aloud so I know that it’s situational and that it’s not my fault.
Also, I need a new therapist who can better acknowledge that it isn’t for my lack of trying. Having a neurotypical and abled therapist is draining and sometimes makes me feel like I’m being gaslit. And that’s not ok.
I’m looking for a new therapist but that takes time and more patience than I can sometimes muster with the US healthcare system and state insurance/Medicaid. Do not recommend the American healthcare experience, 0/10 rating, no stars.
I’m not okay right now and that has to be okay for now.
