“Just get therapy? Why don’t I strap on my therapy helmet, and squeeze down into a therapy cannon, AND FIRE OFF INTO THERAPYLAND, WHERE THERAPISTS GROW ON THERAPIES?!!!”

Me: "Can I get a referral to a therapist?"

GP: "Uh huh... so, I'm going to need you to take a drug test."

The medical system has us so whipped.

I just reached out to a therapist office. Referrals? Insane if you actually needed to do that.

Every medical treatment has to go through my GP, or else my insurance won't pay for it. If I had the money, I could just pay a therapist on my own, and then pay out of pocket for any meds the prescribe.

Not to mention it's (usually) expensive

Got it for free, it comes down to "you don't look depressed".

No shit, I thought you would help!

So they told her I look depressed. I was not depressed, just literaly grieving.

Got some perspective on things, was still on my own.

Guess what: you need an actual neurologist to help treat your brain disorder, not someone to tell you the obvious.

Really? That annoying person on tiktok who thinks autism is just quirkiness and getting out of stuff for no reason can't help me with my mental health? Bonkers! I thought they could!

In other words, water is wet.

<genuine/serious> Sorry that happened, person you thought would help sounds a bit mean </genuine/serious>

yeah I use tone tags like HTML tags
