Yess I did the genesite test, too. Weirdly found out I also don’t process synthetic folate from it!

Thank you ❤️ you as well

Pills aren’t there to convince us everything is ok. They’re more often useful in getting us to a baseline where we can better manage and take control of our lives where we can. If a psychiatrist/therapist is saying something like in this meme, get a new one. There are more resources out there than just pills and therapy

I say this as someone taking pills, going to therapy, and receiving a ton of other support through government programs in a red state in the US. I’d been struggling with suicidal ideation for decades, and in the last year I’ve made some good progress. There’s shitty aspects to life, and I’ve got a ways to go to meet the goals I’ve set for therapy, but it’s still worth living for me

No idea what this sentiment has to do with my reply. Not everyone that refuses the covid vaccine or uses alt medicine is a nazi.

Imagine having no empathy, as if that will make the world a better place.

I want to preempt this by apologizing if you are a victim yourself, or at least say I don’t speak for all victims. That said, threatening violence - unless as immediate defense - is not moral within my view. I’ve been raped and had loved ones violently murdered. I would not wish pain on those responsible. I want them to understand and grow as people. Maybe it will never happen, and I can accept that. I can’t accept loosening my moral standards and sinking to their level.

Sequestering them from society is more preferable. Requiring therapy. Community service.

I’ve been in therapy off and on for years. One piece of advice a therapist gave me that I’ll never forget is to never stop being an idealist.
