Thinking about how therapists try and make you "functioning" and don't consider how capitalism attributes to unhappiness and thinking about the time I spent in therapy that felt like my therapist was reminding me how good I was doing despite the fact I felt BAD all the time
Ik a lot of people feel discouraged bc they can't get themself to fit the capitalist agenda that gets pushed (albeit, not necessarily purposely) by their therapists. In my case, I remember feeling Bad™️ and my therapist would remind me of all of the things I was "doing right"
Bc I mean I keep going to work. I missed class all the time, but I kept going to work. Never mind that I felt empty constantly, and wanted to die.
I'm not widely anti therapy, like therapists are often trying to help people. I just don't think it's for me and has a lot of systemic issues.
