It's like the writers just took creative liberties to try and shock people as much as possible and it's sickening and horrible."Acting NThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634541399722254936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540667570453550683.post-11696144235208090862018-07-03T21:10:28.949-07:002018-07-03T21:10:28.949-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491629857347929020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540667570453550683.post-29645436888851264592017-05-03T19:20:00.078-07:002017-05-03T19:20:00.078-07:00That sounds awful!

Real healing can only happen in a condition of safety, and that means the professional or whomever has to be there emotionally for the person is not distracted by his/her own emotions or beliefs. No amount of training can create a professional with this kind of awareness and ability - only honest work on their own issues and very high levels of personal integrity can create that reality.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188782419520967934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540667570453550683.post-2243615699074237372017-05-03T18:34:46.201-07:002017-05-03T18:34:46.201-07:00Thanks for this.

No one bothered to answer. Left voice mails. No one called back. Tried again another time. Nothing. I constantly listen to co-workers brag about cutting ties with their "toxic" friends. Huff po used the death of robin williams to promote awareness articles featuring titles like "Ten things mentally strong people don't do." I had a therapist who told me all of my problems were nothing compared to poor people in the third world. A life coach said the same thing and suggested volunteering to help troubled teens would snap me out of my funk. Uh-huh. Another therapist suggested rapid eye movement therapy and writing gratitude lists. I hope to be dead before the end of this year. I will miss everyone as much as they will miss me, which is to say not at all. Death was always my only friend.

AS someone who is suicidal and has had suicidal ideation for the better part of 30 years, this show is extremely on point. So many times I've reached out to people only to be told "I'm busy" or "I can't come over" or whatever other excuse they decide to throw out there that leaves me feeling unloved and burdensome. Then I see them making posts on facebook about how if anyone is feeling like this just call them and they will rush over no matter the time of day. and That compounds the feeling of worthlessness, because when I reached out why wasn't I important enough to help? Then the suicidal thoughts get stronger, that voice a little louder. and I know one day I will die by my own hand.Kelly Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012885154643159553noreply@blogger.com
