We really don't want to talk about our problems

I can think of two adventures you'll be going on a lot: Sunburn and wave slosh. Meh.
Cant forget about dehydration, starvation, sepsis, and hysteria!

I lack the photoshop skills, but uh
The 'plap plap GET PREGNANT' meme, but with a therapist shouting:
'accept what you can't change'
'don't blame yourself for things out of your control'
'oh, the copay is $125'
'you missed the last appointment so we charged you for not canceling in advance'
'im worried you're not taking our sessions seriously'
sorry psych professionals, there is no ethical therapy under capitalism

Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don't like society. It just sees me as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.

Isn’t that called vacation? Just don’t bring any communications device
I don't know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I'm in the US, and yes I'm jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

You do realize that is a comedy site, right?
But that's the only nonpartisan site I could find!

I have a great therapist these days who has helped me a lot. I still hate therapy. I did finally figure out why, though. Because, with the exception of therapy and a couple of really great people, everyone I've ever been vulnerable in front of has weaponized it against me. So even though I know my therapist wouldn't actually do that I'm still waiting on it to come back and bite me.
Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y'all women don't have a good track record in my book.

Just goes to show how insane society has become that you'd rather go to therapy than take a 29 day break by being lost at sea.
Society hasn't become that bad. It's becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.

This is therapy. if I could just drop out of everything for 29 days I’d come back refreshed and Zen as fuck.
That's about 1 standard stint in rehab where I'm from

Yeah, the weaponization factor is real.

Not to mention it just doesn't work as well for men as it does for women.
Please say why it is that you believe that. It's a fascinating claim.

Ok, I may not have great photoshop skills, but I do have a knowledge of ancient memes:

I'm getting major surgery in two weeks and I'll be on short term disability for an entire month afterwards. I'm honestly really looking forward to the time off, even if it'll be full of physical suffering. My burnout outweighs the physical trauma of having nearly all of my reproductive organs removed.

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they're grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.
Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.
Solitude? Damn, are your hospitals made out of gold as well?
If you're unlucky over here you get up to 7 other patiens in the same, unventilated room. Including patients who have air-transmittable infections because why not?
Air conditioning doesn't exist in hospitals either by the way. That's a luxury hospitals aren't obligated to (and as such never) provide. Enjoy dehydrating in 30°C+ rooms.
I'd much rather just stay in solitude in my home for a week.

Oh fuck off. Therapy won’t help with… *gestures at everything*

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I did the same, back during COVID lockdown. I think my body just started producing endorphins, because I stopped taking the painkillers and was totally at peace while everybody lost their minds over the isolation. I played The Outer Wilds and accepted that everything must end.

Quit crying. You'll be fine. Don't be such a crybaby. Man up. Put on your big boy pants. Boys don't cry. Boo hoo, gonna cry about it? Gonna cry like a little girl? Be a man. Face your problems like a man. Crying doesn't help anything. Take it like a man. Don't be a baby. You're acting like a girl. Grow a pair. Suck it up and move on.
Why will men do literally anything besides talk about their feelings?

Eh. Therapy is overrated. Tried it a bunch of times and it’s not nearly as effective for me as just… thinking.

Shameless plug for [email protected] for male identifying people to talk about these and all other issues with other men without any judgement or dumbass alpha male bullshit. It is meant to be literally this - a reprieve from the outside world. All of the people posting here hopeless and alone is why this place exists now.
