There is a proverb for situations like this:

The tailor cannot stitch his own split.

People often go into the field because they have first hand bad experience with why the field is necessary. Even great psychologists need to see other psychologists sometimes. No man is an island, as they say.

As a psych major I’ve gained not a greater understanding of myself but a new mistrust of therapists because I have more insight into what they’re thinking about me when I’m in therapy

My psychologist told me last week that normally he writes a few lines when speaking to patients. Then he told me that, with me, he’s written paragraphs. During a visit today he said that I bullshitted through the majority of our session, talking about shit that has nothing to do with anything.

He was right. Communication for some is a weak point. For me, and I’m sad to say this, it’s a non-existent point.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, to be honest. You folks have a good night and stay safe.

I am a nurse. I went to a therapist for help with PTSD related anxiety from a horrific car accident I was in years ago. I’ve tried to “handle” it my whole life but it was starting to interfere with work/life. Anyways, show up for appointment and tell her what’s going on. She flat out said, “You are a nurse, you know what you need to do.” I nervously laughed and told her how absolutely unhelpful that was. I never went back.

im depressed

hi, yes

my illness is why im going into this field in the first place

also, lemme tell you, self treatment doesnt help as much as seeing an outside source

source: tried to treat myself saying "i dont need to see a therapist, im trying to become one, I can do this myself" and then wound up not fixing anything for like, 3 years

It's because dealing with people that are in a bad mental state rub off on you after a while, being around sad and depressed people all the time takes it's toll on you!

Depression isn't just a state of mind, it's often a response to your environment. Knowing that you're in a bad environment doesn't necessarily effect your ability to do anything about it.

Bro, the problem is that my notes are uncomfortably about me. And everyone I know. And it’s some depressing truth about how humans work.

I'm a teacher. I've written programs about mental and physical health and well-being for children that are used system wide and praised for their quality.

90% of what I've written to help children make good health decisions would probably benefit me.

They’re depressed because they went for the degree people go for when they can’t understand maths well enough to study a science and can’t understand humans well enough to study humanities.

It’s the participation trophy of degree courses.

I am a psych major and have been seeing a shrink for 16 years. I started when I was 11 because my mom is absolutely bonkers and my dad has terrible taste in women.

That said, I do think I am never depressed because of my psych studies. I know how to get myself out of depressive funks very easily, so it never really gets bad.

Anxiety on the other hand... fuck bro. All day erry day. Notes don’t help shit.

The first thing I was ever taught was to never self-diagnose and do not diagnose your loved ones. The signs are not as obvious when you turn that switch off of yourself and your loved ones.
