Because you said twice that you don’t want anything that requires “therapy or people”

because i obviously don’t have those

All that lead me to believe that your rejection of working with a therapist might not be just about money

it doesn’t matter why, the truth is, there is nothing like that in iraq

but a therapeutic one. Any good therapist is trained to give you the so-called unconditional positive regard, to have compassion and understanding for you, to be non-judgmental, to see you and validate you.

i remember when i went to a “therapist” in iraq, it was very funny and a waste of time, as soon as i entered i told her that one of my problems is apathy, she was like “well in here you need to forget about that, in here you must care, too much” i was like “well i guess im gonna quit” she laughed told me i haven’t even started yet, at the end of our session i told her i always wanted someone to understand me, someone to accept me, she told me “then what?” the whole point of therapy for her is to change and live life according to society, she is what you call ” a practical person”, i remember she telling me that “i need to re program myself to think positive” i really don’t know what degree she have, but she “and most of the people in the middle east” seem to think that “positive” thinking somehow attract good things, its laughable, its actually has a name “law of attraction” pseudoscience is a common thing in the middle east, not only i have to bear all these stupid people, but also i have to follow them (the therapist), i like when a “therapist” project her silly beliefs and values on me, like somehow her pov of the world becomes objective, that’s why i don’t like the idea of therapy,  i don’t want anyone to advice me, no one is allowed to do that

You can work on yourself by yourself

my problems (as you already said requires the intervene of other people), well are you ready to accept the fact ?

So you’ve got options, you don’t have to “suffer in peace”.

ah yes, the illusion of the choice, or whatso called “hope”, nah thanks, already watched hundred of videos on YouTube about mental health, all have the same themes “workout, meditate, drink water etc” the same bullshit, i think im good where im at right now, and if we are talking options, better suggest the best one
