The Question: Do you need something thats NOT therapy?
- Is it just not your type of thing and you’re not interested in doing it?
- Do you already know what you need to do but never do it?
- Does it end up being one expensive venting session?
- Are you taking action, making changes and seeing consistent genuine improvements from your sessions?
Now I’m NO therapist,… in ANY way…What so ever!
But I have noticed the common pro’s and con’s of it. In this post we are clearly focusing on the cons, where and how its lacking for a good chunk of people.
The Answer: Focus on the shit that actually makes a difference
So many people have these same issues or thoughts when it comes to therapy. Mental health has been such a huge topic of discussion for years now, Its something everyone has been trying to improve and provide support for but as they say: too much of a good thing can be bad.
In 2024, 43% of adults say they feel more anxious than they did the previous year, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022. And that’s just the stats for anxiety. I wont even get into the long list of new disorders they keep adding to each new addition of the DSM ( Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)
Things with mental health just seem to be getting worse, yet more people then ever are now going to therapy. From 2020-2023 the number of people in the U.S receiving mental health treatment increased by around 17.46%.
It seems that it’s become a fad to self diagnose ourselves and others, We are so focused on being able to identify ourselves as a disorder, to find a reason or an excuse for our choices and actions and why we are the way we are. Aren’t we over labeling everyone as a narcissist? All of these words are just being thrown around by EVERYONE. And what is it even accomplishing at this point? It seems to be just perpetuating this cycle of bullshit, keeping everyone stuck in their misery. Cool you self diagnosed yourself or someone else, how do you feel now? Is calling that person a narcissist or saying you have anxiety actually helping you in any way? Or does it just make you feel valid and justified for 5 minutes and you go straight back to feeling and doing exactly what you always do? Repeating the same cycles? Getting the same results, Standing in the exact same spot as you were last week, last month, or last year?
KEY TAKE AWAYS:
1. We are all struggling
2. We are all attempting to improve
3. We are all going about it in an unproductive way
4. We are all putting our focus on the wrong shit
What to do:
I don’t care if the only good thing you can manage to find in your life is being able to wake up and brush the teeth that are attached to your mother fucking head cause guess what, there’s people who don’t so choose to be fucking happy that you do!!! Or if the only different thing you can commit to right now is getting up 15 minutes earlier then what you normally do. Just pick one thing that is good and your going to consciously choose to focus on through your day. And pick one thing that’s different then what your normally do AND DO IT EVERY FUCKING DAY.
Put an alarm in your phone to remind yourself, put sticky notes all over the place, put a picture of your god damn teeth as your phone background.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I also know the majority of you people can’t get the simple shit done. And depending on your perceived severity of your issue you might just have to start at the very fucking basics. And there’s nothing wrong with that. So its up to you to decide if you’re going to choose to be happy that you have all or most of your fucking teeth or if you choose to be miserable about the same shit you always are.
Why this works:
- Happiness is a choice
- YOU choose every second of every day what you are putting your focus on
- YOU choose what you spend your time and energy doing
- YOU choose what you allow into your life
And because of these 4 simple ass facts, its simply you that’s most likely the problem in your life (yes yes i know i know you have a long ass list of other people and they are the problem for this reason and that reason, And life is so hard and you have all these reasons your stuck. Chill the fuck out sally this is a blog post and I’m obviously not talking about that) But you get to mother fucking choose what you allow and where your energy and focus goes. And soo many people choose to stay stuck, and yes there’s lots and lots of valid reasons for that, but you sitting there doing the same shit makes you equally apart of the problems in your life. There is ALWAYS a way to figure the shit out. And lucky for you, I have started this blog…. and I’m for sure….basically….most likely….. probably a pro at this exact shit. Sooo luuuucky you haha.
