Confessions 18h
Everyone is starting to freak me out, most people seem so distant and like under paid actors. My fabric of reality doesn’t feel real, I feel like my anxiety is changing me into someone else. Just screaming in my head

this is the same as just telling someone to “get over it” if something bad happened ngl

Seeking counseling is not the same as “get over it”.

responding to every time someone expresses mental discomfort with “Get therapy.” is a politically correct standin for “get over it.” Offer compassion and empathy first, then offer gentle suggestions. Another thing is that you don’t know if OP has tried therapy, and if it has helped or hurt them. Maybe ask first. Or, if you don’t want to do all that and prefer your quippy “Maybe try therapy”, keep it to yourself

The fact that you woke up one day and decided “ maybe try therapy” is the equivalent of “get over it” does not make that reality. Political correctness has no jurisdiction in this matter. If someone had a flat tire and I said “maybe try the tire shop”,I would still be right. This is no different than addressing a “mental discomfort” with a professional in the field.
